The FCS championship game brought all kinds of drama on Monday night, with Montana State holding off a late charge from Illinois State to become champions.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Bobcats held a two-touchdown lead and looked well positioned to leave Nashville with the win. But the Redbirds fought back valiantly, controlling the clock for nearly the entire quarter while driving for two scores and forcing Montana State into back-to-back three-and-outs.
