Big Sky Football Scores: Road Teams Dominate in Week 6 Action

The sixth week of the Big Sky Conference football season saw road teams come out on top, as Idaho, Montana, and Northern Arizona all secured victories. The wins marked a successful weekend for the Lumberjacks, Vandals, and Griz, who are looking to make their mark on the league.

NAU's first ranked road victory since 2015 was a highlight of the week, as they took down No. 13 Weber State with a score of 27-10. The win was sparked by redshirt junior Owen Illeman, who returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter to give the Lumberjacks the lead.

In other action, Idaho hosted Cal Poly and emerged victorious with a 42-14 win. The Vandals had five different players score touchdowns, including wide receiver Hayden Hatten, who threw his second touchdown pass of the year. Montana also picked up an impressive 31-23 victory over No. 17 Montana State.

The Griz were led on offense by quarterback Clifton McDowell, who racked up nearly 300 yards of total offense and threw three touchdowns on the day. The win was Montana's first on the road over a nationally ranked FCS opponent since their last trip to Davis in 2019.
