Brief Description
Playing in wintery conditions (wind, cold, wind, snow and more wind) didn't seem to bother Montana State at all as they beat the Bison in Fargo. The Bison turned the ball over six times, the Bobcats once. The Bison could console themselves slightly when Montana State went on to win the national championship.
