Montana State wins first FCS national championship since 1984 after thrilling OT victory over Illinois State

The Montana State Bobcats defeated the Illinois State Redbirds 35-34 in an overtime thriller to win the program's first FCS championship since 1984 on Monday night.

Last season, the Bobcats lost in the championship in a shootout. The season before, they lost in the quarterfinals after they had an extra point blocked.

This season had an inauspicious start, as the Bobcats lost their first two games. However, they rattled off 14 straight wins to capture the elusive national title.
