Here are the 2025 football schedules for each team in the Big Sky Conference. Last season, Montana State advanced to the national title game, but fell 35-32 to North Dakota State after the Bison had opened a 21-3 halftime lead. The Bobcats rallied to within 3 points three times, including the final score when MSU scored with 1:09 left to play. North Dakota State recovered the onside kick and essentially ran out the clock as Montana State exhausted its timeouts.
