Sam Houston State Held On To Beat Montana, But Not Without Taking Some Licks

Congratulations to Sam Houston State, who again proved worthy of their #1 ranking last night in beating Montana 31-28—earning the Bearkats a trip to the Division I national championship—but it was this play in which the Griz' senior defensive back Houston Roots blew up Bearkats WR Brandon Closner that made an impact on viewers.

Sam Houston State will face the winner of today's Georgia Southern-NDSU matchup.
