Ridin’ with Rider – Montana State’s triple-OT escape at Idaho State, the 2-point gamble & the road to Cat-Griz

Former Montana State player and coach Michael Rider joins Colter Nuanez for Ridin’ with Rider on the Big Sky Breakdown podcast series. They break down the Bobcats’ triple-overtime slugfest in Pocatello, why Idaho State’s physical defense should serve as a wake-up call and Justin Lamson’s toughness in a long line of tough Montana State quarterbacks.

Rider also weighs in on the fourth-down connection to Rocky Lencioni, the gutsy two-point trick play that won it, the Sheridan, Wyoming, pipeline to Bozeman, the trip to Northern Colorado before the Brawl of the Wild and how the Big Sky’s crowded playoff picture could shake out in the seeding.

Ridin’ with Rider is presented by The Bobcat Collective, the Montana State QB Club, Jeremiah Johnson Brewing, Opportunity Bank, Town & Country Foods, Town Pump and Alpine Touch.
