Big Sky Now: Week 7 recap, Idaho beats Montana, Bobcats bounce back, and Week 8 preview

Idaho took the Little Brown Stein, Montana State bounced back and Weber State keeps winning, and the Big Sky Now panel is breaking it all down. 

Host Luke Schmit is joined by Daily Inter Lake sports editor Fritz Neighbor, Mike Maynard of the Columbia Basin Herald and Mark Nelke of the Coeur d’Alene Press to recap Week 7, preview the biggest Week 8 matchups and make their weekly picks. Jon Allen is out this week, so Luke covers his picks.

Idaho beat Montana 42-35 in Missoula behind a huge day from quarterback Joshua Wood, and the Vandals have now defeated both Montana schools. 

Montana State answered its loss to Idaho with a 56-20 win over Eastern Washington, Weber State took down Idaho State 27-20 to improve to 4-1 in conference play, Northern Colorado topped Cal Poly 28-18, and Southern Utah beat UC Davis 38-17 behind Big Sky Offensive Player of the Week Floyd Chalk. 

The panel also looks at Northern Arizona’s 38-25 win over Portland State and what the results mean for the Big Sky Conference standings and the FCS playoff picture. Then it’s on to Week 8. 

Can Weber State hand defending national champion Montana State its first test of the season in Bozeman?

Can Idaho keep its momentum against Southern Utah’s rushing attack in the Kibbie Dome? 

Will Idaho State stop its three-game slide against Portland State? 

The panel also breaks down Utah Tech at Cal Poly and Northern Colorado at UC Davis.

Finally, the crew makes its picks for this week's matchups.
