Montana State looks to refine mistakes in Week 2 against Morehead State
BOZEMAN — Heading into Week One, Montana State head coach Brent Vigen knew there was going to be a degree of unpredictability towards McNeese State.
The reason is as a result of the Bobcats weren’t solely enjoying towards a program that had a wholly new teaching employees, however the Cowboys additionally had roster crammed with extra newcomers than returners.
That will have fueled Saturay’s slower begin, however after some changes, the Bobcats took management of Saturday’s recreation leveling the Cowboys 40-17.
“In some regard, I feel it’s extra comforting to be in your regular schedule,” Vigen shared throughout Monday’s presser. “I feel particularly when you could have an opponent like we did the place we have been actually guessing, I feel there was loads of uncertainty clearly in that. However now we go recreation one to recreation two and we now have to point out actual enchancment.”
A kind of areas Vigen touched on that wants refinement is tackling.
Giving up chunk performs was a uncommon event in 2021, however on Saturday the Cowboys had 4 that popped: one for 75, 66, and two for 31 yards.
“I feel generally it’s onerous to know the place you’re at till you recognize the place you’re at – till you play a recreation,” he defined. “It’s one factor to take a look at follow and possibly have a look at some scrimmage time towards each other, however till you play an opponent it’s more durable to get a gage, so we now have that now and we have to take this week to take a step ahead.”
Whereas uncertainty could have performed a think about a number of the miscues final Saturday, Morehead State couldn’t be extra of a distinct blueprint.
“It’s a distinct situation this week,” Vigen said. “We’re dealing with an outfit that we’ve seen on movie. Each coordinators have been at their program for a while now, so I feel we all know what we’re going to see and that’s a lot totally different than it was final week.”
The Eagles had a tricky Week Zero recreation towards No. 23 ranked Mercer shedding 63-13, however this system has had two weeks to regroup coming off a bye.
“They have been out to cease the run definitely towards Mercer,” he recalled. “They did quit some performs within the run recreation, nevertheless it wasn’t for lack of being bodily. I feel they bought themselves caught into some conditions the place Mercer was capable of get the ball excessive.”
Nevertheless, Morehead State isn’t a staff Vigen is grazing over. The Eagles went 4-7 final fall ending third within the Pioneer League.
“They threw for lots of yards, however they did lose a really productive quarterback, a really productive receiver, they misplaced their high again, so they’d lots of people to interchange on offense,” Vigen defined. “Enjoying with loads of freshmen and sophomores on offense.”
Quite the opposite, the Eagles have much more continuity on the defensive facet of the ball — a unit that Vigen says is aggressive and expects will attempt to apply loads of stress close to the road of scrimmage.
“I feel the factor we now have to take a look at is okay that is what they seem like Week One, however anticipate a better-looking crew simply primarily based on expertise. They’ve their recreation one out of the best way, and whereas it didn’t go nicely for them they’ve an additional week to organize for us.”

Montana authors talk about state's 'political hell-raiser,' archaeology • Daily Montanan
Historian and author Marc Johnson gives a book talk next month about Burton K. Wheeler, “one of the most powerful politicians Montana ever produced,” as part of the Montana Historical Society’s lecture series.
Johnson will speak from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 8, at Touchmark, 915 Saddle Dr. in Helena. He will talk about his book, “Political Hell-Raiser: The Life and Times of Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana.”
“(Wheeler) came of political age amid antiwar and labor unrest in Butte, Montana, during World War I, battling Montana’s powerful economic interests and championing farmers and miners as a crusading United States attorney,” said the announcement from the Montana Historical Society. “Wheeler went on to become one of the most influential, and controversial, members of the United States Senate during three of the most eventful decades in American history.”
Also in January, author and University of Montana archaeology professor Douglas MacDonald will discuss his “Land of Beginnings: The Archaeology of Montana’s First Peoples.”
The book talk takes place from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 16, at the Lewis & Clark Library, 120 S. Last Chance Gulch in Helena.
“While researchers have learned a great deal about the origins of the first people to call this region home, questions remain about which route or routes they took and when they made this journey,” said the Montana Historical Society about the book talk.
The organization also said the Original Governor’s Mansion will be open for free guided tours at noon, 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 26, and on Saturday, Dec. 28.
“The Queen Anne-Style mansion will be decorated for the holiday season through the weekend with surprises for visitors of all ages,” said the announcement.
