Idaho Scores on the Last Play, Goes for Two, Beats Montana State 35-34
Joshua Wood threw a 25-yard touchdown to Ryan Jezioro on the last play of the game, then ran in the two-point conversion, and Idaho beat Montana State 35-34.
Idaho needed all of it. With 13:29 left in the fourth quarter, Montana State led 34-20 on a 2-yard Patrick Duchien run, a 14-point hole for Idaho. Wood ran it in from a yard out with 9:54 left to make it 34-27, and then nothing happened on the scoreboard until the clock hit zero. The last touchdown made it 33-34, and a kick would have sent the game to overtime. Idaho went for two instead, Wood ran it in, and that was the win.
It was a seesaw. The lead changed seven times and the game was tied once. Jezioro opened Idaho's scoring with a 75-yard touchdown from Wood in the first quarter, and Montana State took a 24-20 lead on a Dane Steel catch with 1:12 left in the half and a 27-20 lead on a 26-yard Myles Sansted field goal late in the third.
The yardage was close, 469 for Montana State and 443 for Idaho. Montana State ran 42 times for 220 yards and threw no interceptions. Idaho threw for 315 and gave the ball away once. Idaho outpassed Montana State 315 yards to 249, and Montana State outran it 220 to 128. Idaho is 1-3. Montana State is 4-1 and let this one get away.
For fantasy, the three top scorers all topped 32 points, and Duchien's 37.2 was the best of them, on the losing team.
