Week 5 Game Discussion Thread

Idaho ends Montana State's 19-game win streak on 2-point conversion​





They're calling it the "Miracle in Moscow."

Joshua Wood threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Jezioro on the final play of the game and then ran in the 2-point conversion as Idaho shocked defending FCS national champion Montana State 35-34 and ended the No. 1 Bobcats' 19-game winning streak in Moscow, Idaho.

Wood used five plays and 49 seconds to drive the Vandals (1-4, 1-1 Big Sky) 80 yards for their first win over a No. 1 team.



On what appeared to be the final play, Wood scrambled and completed a 23-yard pass to Noah West-Baranco, who was tackled at the Montana State 25 as the clock in the stadium hit zeroes. However, referees ruled there was 1 second remaining when West-Baranco's knee hit the ground and, because it was a first down, stopped the clock to allow the chains to be set....:biggrin:

As Idaho rushed to get to the line to hurriedly snap the ball for a final play, Montana State coach Brent Vigen called timeout.

"Well, they said they looked at it," Vigen said of the clock management by the officials. "It's one of those situations where you call a timeout or you don't call a timeout. Ultimately, they made the play. I hope there was a second left."

After the timeout, Wood found Jezioro in the end zone to cut the deficit to 34-33. Without hesitation, Idaho coach Thomas Ford Jr. made the call to go for the 2-point conversion and the win.

Wood then ran the ball up the middle for the improbable victory.
