The Hornets enter the week with a 2-8 overall record and a 1-5 mark in Big Sky Conference games. The team led 14-10 in the second quarter at Montana State but allowed the Bobcats to score 27-unanswered points which put MSU ahead to stay en route to a 37-16 victory.

Kris Daniels and Matt Logue each had big days to lead Sacramento State. Daniels, who was filling in for the injured Ryan Mole, rushed for a career-high 132 yards and two touchdowns to keep the offense moving. Logue was everywhere on both defense and special teams. The senior had a game-high 11 tackles, including 10 solos, and also had 2.5 tackles-for-loss, a half of a safety, an interception and two fumble recoveries.

Despite not scoring an offensive touchdown, Montana (7-2, 4-1) still managed to shut out Northern Arizona, 23-0, last week. The Grizzlies blocked a punt and returned it for a score and also intercepted a pass and took it all the way for a touchdown. Montana also scored three field goals.

The all-time series has been dominated by Montana. The Grizzlies are 10-0 all-time against the Hornets and are the only Big Sky school Sacramento State has yet to defeat. Last season, UM downed the Hornets, 52-21.

The Hornets are 5-7 in their home finale since moving to Div. I-AA in 1993.
