In this episode, I sat down with Montana State Senior Quarterback Tommy Mellott, fresh off a thrilling Week 0 road victory against New Mexico—Montana State’s first win over an FBS opponent since 2006. Tommy, a standout in multiple statistical categories at a school with a football tradition dating back to 1897, shares his journey from being a small-town Montana kid to leading the Bobcats on the field.
We dive into the mentality behind the comeback win against New Mexico, explore Montana State traditions like the Gold Rush game and the Brawl of the Wild, and discuss life in Bozeman. This conversation offers a unique glimpse into the football culture of Big Sky Country—something many college football fans may not be familiar with.
As Montana State prepares to face Utah Tech this weekend, this episode will resonate with Bobcat fans and anyone interested in learning more about one of college football’s rising stars and the vibrant football scene in Montana.
