FCS national championship preview: Illinois State-Montana State

Share

Open Extended Reactions

Illinois State came within 37 seconds of a national title in 2014 but couldn't keep North Dakota State out of the end zone. After getting thumped by NDSU in the 2021 title game, Montana State returned last season and tried everything it could to erase an early deficit against the mighty Bison. The Bobcats came up three points short.

Both ISU's and MSU's ambitions have been held back by the Goliath of FCS, but thanks to an all-timer of an upset, one will win the 2025 national title.
