Montana State extends winning streak to 17 games after defeating Nevada
Summary

The Montana State Bobcats defeated Nevada 20-7 on Saturday night in Reno to secure their third win of the season. Justin Lamson opened the scoring with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Dane Steel, while Adam Jones added a rushing touchdown before halftime. Despite two first-half interceptions by Luke Duncan, Nevada struggled to gain offensive momentum throughout the game. The Wolf Pack managed a late touchdown pass from AJ Bianco to Marshaun Brown, but two additional turnovers late in the game halted any potential rally. Montana State currently holds the second-longest winning streak in Division I football behind Indiana. The Bobcats are scheduled to host Central Connecticut next Saturday, while Nevada travels to play Middle Tennessee.
