Commentary: ‘Philly Special’ sinks ISU in triple-overtime home loss to Montana State

POCATELLO — In a game with more twists and turns than a Six Flags roller coaster, Montana State survived a terrific effort from Idaho State and won 28-26 in triple overtime Saturday night at the ICCU Dome. Normally a recap starts in the first quarter, but the way the Bobcats pushed across the deciding points means this one has to begin at the end. As Montana State head coach Brent Vigen put it when all was said and done, “We found another way to win.” On MSU’s first snap of the third overtime, from the ISU 3-yard line, quarterback Justin Lamson pitched back to Dane Steele on what looked like an end-around to the right. But Steele quickly spotted tight end Rylan Schlepp breaking free near the front corner of the end zone and tossed it his way for the winning points. The play brought back memories of the famous “Philly Special” that helped the Eagles beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, and it was reminiscent of a play Montana used down the stretch last year to beat the Bengals at the ICCU Dome. While that was the game-winner, big plays throughout kept the nearly 10,000 fans on edge.
