Skyline Sports — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0600

In this week's Akem's Analysis, I talk about the new eligibility rule the NCAA put forward, which would give college athletes 5 seasons of eligibility after graduation or their 19th birthday, whichever comes first.

FAMU football received a postseason suspension for the 2026 season due to academic inadequacy. Chicago State only has 39 players and is not doing spring practices.

Five big rivalry game questions with Brooks Nuanez with 124th rendition of Montana-Montana State on the horizon

Skyline Sports — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 18:55:13 -0700

Brooks Nuanez and Colter Nuanez drop the first of an array of Skyline Sports content leading up to Saturday's showdown for the outright Big Sky Conference championship in Missoula as No. 2 Montana hosts No. 3 Montana State in the 124th meeting between archrivals.

The Nuanez brothers recap Montana State's 38-17 win over No. 9 UC Davis on Saturday (5:44) and Montana's 63-17 win over Portland State (10:27) before diving into five big questions.

12:14 - How much will the momentum of a season play on Saturday?

17:20 - Two of the best quarterbacks in the league in Montana's Keali'i Ah Yat and Montana State's Justin Lamson will each make their first rivalry game starts. What team does that favor?

24:35 -Montana has the top scoring offense in the league (42.2 ppg) and Montana State is the top scoring defense (16.2 ppg). Something has to give...

27:50 - Montana State has the most veteran defensive line in the Big Sky and one of the top graded offensive lines in the FCS. But that disparity has been the case for a few years against the Griz and it hasn't mattered. Will it matter on Saturday?

32:31 - Since 2019, the road team has melted as the opposition in hostile territory. Why hasn't it been more competitive the last five rivalry games?

37:53 - Which head coach - Montana's Bobby Hauck with his 7-6 record against the Bobcats but 2-4 since his return or Montana State's Brent Vigen, who is 2-2 against the Griz but 0-2 in Missoula — has more to gain and more to lose from this year's clash?
