And speaking of last week's game, check my feature on Jordan Dascalo, who kicked the game-winning field goal last week in Greeley, Colorado. Want more on this week's game? Here's the official preview from EWU and another from Weber State. ... Elsewhere, Montana visits Portland State in what amounts to a Big Sky title elimination game. Here's an early look from the Missoulian. ... From the Billings Gazette, there's this story on the Montana quarterback situation, and from the Oregonian, a feature on PSU quarterback Alex Kuresa.
