What We Know So Far
Notes from the msucats.com desk · every claim below checked against msubobcats.com
The title defense opens on the road in St. George before six home dates anchor the year — and the Brawl of the Wild waits at the very end.
The stadium tradition lands in week two, 6:30 PM at Bobcat Stadium. Wear gold.
Twelve games, split six home and six away. Nine of them are Big Sky opponents — a heavier conference load than the non-conference slate suggests.
Times are posted on the schedule above in Mountain Time. Note the Idaho game is a Friday night, Oct 2 — the only non-Saturday date on the card.
The final drive, the field rush, and the board that said it all. Photos in the gallery below.
Keep the Lights On
msucats.com is independent and sponsor-supported
msucats.com isn't run by the athletic department, a media group, or anyone with a stake in the story. It's built and maintained by fans, which is the whole point — the schedule stays current and the coverage stays honest because nobody upstream is asking for anything different.
Costs are covered by a small number of clearly-labeled local sponsors. There's room for a couple more.
