NCAA Football Betting Lines

Huntsville, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sam Houston State is still undefeated, and the next stop is Frisco, Texas. The top-seeded, and only undefeated team in the FCS entering the playoffs, Sam Houston State built a big lead and then held on to defeat Montana, 31-28, in the semifinals on Friday night.

 

After getting stifled in the quarterfinals, Southland Player of the Year Tim Flanders put together one of the biggest performances of his career, rushing for 287 yards and a 69-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

 

Earlier, it looked like it wouldn't have even been a close contest, as the Bearkats dominated the first half.

 

The miss ended McKnight's school-record streak of consecutive field goals, he had converted on the prior 16 attempts.

 

The first-quarter struggles continued for Montana, as a fumble in Sam Houston State territory was turned into a 20-yard touchdown connection from Bell to Grant Merritt, giving the Bearkats a 21-0 lead.

 

Montana finally scored with 6:27 remaining in the second quarter, as Jordan Johnson connected with Jabin Sambrano for a 30-yard touchdown. The scoring strike capped a seven-play, 73-yard drive, following up the Grizzlies first defensive stop of the game.

 

The play by McSurdy nearly saved Montana's season, as he and his teammates outscored Sam Houston State 14-3 in the second half.

 

Following the field goal, Montana cut Sam Houston State's lead to 31-21 on a three-yard touchdown run by Jordan Canada at 3:36 of the third quarter.

 

However, it wasn't enough to stop Sam Houston State, which put together a key clock-killing drive at the end of the game.

 

Johnson was the offensive catalyst for Montana, completing 21-of-33 passes for 277 yards. He also rushed 11 times for 64 yards.

 

Other road games include trips to CAA Football opponents Old Dominion (Sept. 22), Georgia State (Oct. 6), Maine (Oct. 20) and Rhode Island (Oct. 27).
