The second season is here and with fresh legs the Montana Grizzlies go charging into the FCS playoffs this week with a second-round matchup of epic proportions three years in the making.

For the third straight year, Montana and South Dakota State will face off in the FCS playoffs. After a national championship meeting two seasons ago and a quarterfinal matchup in Brookings last season, the Jackrabbits head to Missoula for a second round game this Saturday, December 6, at noon.

With rested bodies from a much-needed bye week following 12-straight games, the Griz (11-1) head to the playoffs as the No. 3 seed overall. Their prize? Perennial FCS powerhouse and winners of two of the last three FCS national titles SDSU, who earned the No. 14 seed after a 9-4 regular season.
