No. 4 Montana Beats Sac State 49-35 To Reach 8-0 After Week Of Taunts

Overview

• Keali'i Ah Yat went 16-for-24 for 196 yards with three touchdown passes to Brooks Davis, Michael Wortham and Evan Shafer.
• Wortham, a Sacramento native, totaled 238 all-purpose yards with two rushing scores and a 64-yard touchdown catch.
• Montana produced a season-high six sacks, including a career-best three by linebacker Peyton Wing.
• Momentum swung on special teams with a 99-yard Sac State kickoff return wiped out by holding, a muffed Hornets punt that set up an Eli Gillman touchdown, and a fake-punt completion that preceded Wortham's third score.
• The TV spotlight followed Sac State president Luke Wood's 'Montana Pandas' jab that Bobby Hauck dismissed, against the backdrop of the Hornets' Big Sky exit and FBS aspirations, with Montana now headed to Weber State.
