3 Game Balls and a Flag

Each week of the 2024 FCS football season, the FCS Football Talk podcast will award three game balls and a flag from the previous weekend’s action.

The game balls are awarded to three standout teams or individual players, while the flag is thrown after a disappointing performance or questionable coaching decision.

Below are the three game balls and a flag from Week 0.

  • Game Ball: Montana State’s Rushing Attack
    • The Bobcats recorded 362 rushing yards on 47 carries (7.7 YPC) and 3 rushing TDs
    • Montana State was missing starting RB Julius Davis and All-American center Justus Perkins
    • Redshirt freshman Adam Jones led the Bobcats with 167 rushing yards and 1 TD, averaging 9.8 YPC

      • Jalon Daniels: 7-for-9, 142 passing yards

Sam’s 3 Game Balls And A Flag

  • Game Ball: Montana State OL
