Houston State At Montana Sept.

NCAA Football Betting Lines

Sam Houston State (14-0) will play the winner of tomorrow's Georgia Southern at North Dakota State semifinal in the championship game, scheduled for Jan. 7 at Pizza Hut Park.

 

After getting stifled in the quarterfinals, Southland Player of the Year Tim Flanders put together one of the biggest performances of his career, rushing for 287 yards and a 69-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

 

Earlier, it looked like it wouldn't have even been a close contest, as the Bearkats dominated the first half.

 

Following Bell's touchdown run, Montana responded with a 10-play drive, but couldn't capitalize as Brody McKnight's 48-yard field goal attempt into the wind wasn't even close.

 

Missing the field goal proved to be detrimental for the Grizzlies, as Flanders responded with a 69-yard touchdown run on the very next play at 6:00 of the first quarter.

 

Montana finally scored with 6:27 remaining in the second quarter, as Jordan Johnson connected with Jabin Sambrano for a 30-yard touchdown. The scoring strike capped a seven-play, 73-yard drive, following up the Grizzlies first defensive stop of the game.

 

The play by McSurdy nearly saved Montana's season, as he and his teammates outscored Sam Houston State 14-3 in the second half.

 

After a touchdown-dominated first half, a field goal was the first scoring play of the second half, as Sam Houston State's Craig Alaniz converted on 25- yard field goal after the defense recovered a fumble at the Montana eight-yard line. The field goal proved to the Bearkats' lone scoring play of the half.

Big 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
