BOZEMAN — Grant Collins can’t help but crack a smile of excitement when the subject of the conversation is Weber State.

“That’s what we always think of them as is one of the most physical outfits out there,” the Montana State fifth-year senior middle linebacker said as he stood in the MSU Hall of Fame at Brick Breedin Fieldhouse. “Every time we get to this week, I get a little excited to be truthful. I love these kind of games.”
