Big Sky Now: Montana falls, Idaho stumbles and a Week 7 preview

Big Sky Conference football delivered another wild week, and the Big Sky Now panel is breaking it all down.

Host Luke Schmit is joined by Daily Inter Lake sports editor Fritz Neighbor and reporter Jon Allen, Mike Maynard of the Columbia Basin Herald, and Mark Nelke of the Coeur d'Alene Press to recap Week 6, preview the biggest Week 7 matchups and make their weekly picks.

Northern Arizona stunned Montana in a 49-44 shootout behind a huge performance from quarterback Ty Pennington.

Cal Poly edged Idaho State 25-24, Weber State handed Idaho a 38-27 loss after the Vandals' upset of Montana State, and Eastern Washington picked up its first conference win against Northern Colorado.

The panel also looks at Portland State's victory over Utah Tech and what the results mean for the Big Sky Conference standings and FCS playoff picture.

Then it's on to Week 7. Can Montana rebound against Idaho in the Little Brown Stein rivalry game? Will defending national champion Montana State get back on track against Eastern Washington?

Is Weber State becoming a legitimate contender, and can Idaho State stop its two-game slide?

The panel also breaks down Cal Poly at Northern Colorado, UC Davis at Southern Utah and Portland State at Northern Arizona. Finally, the crew makes its picks for all six featured matchups and updates the season-long standings.
