CSUN VS. MONTANA ST: A CLOSER LOOK.Byline: - Brian Dohn THE HERO Quite simply, Montana State receiver Chip Hobbs was the difference. He caught eight passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns, and Cal State Northridge's defense spent an afternoon struggling to contain him. The biggest play was a 48-yard touchdown catch to give the Bobcats a 32-19 lead on a third-and-16. THE GOAT In half a season, we've been taught to expect only greatness from CSUN CSUN California State University Northridge redshirt quarterback Marcus Brady Marcus Brady (Born September 24, 1979) is a quarterback for the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL. College career He attended Cal State Northridge as a business major, where he started 43 straight games. , and never to expect what happened Saturday. In his worst game of the season, Brady was 16 of 33 for 152 yards. But he also threw three interceptions that doomed the Matadors. STAT OF THE GAME Try 226. That's how many yards Montana State rushed for, the second time in two weeks the Matadors have allowed more than 225 on the ground. It helped the Bobcats control the ball and the clock and kept CSUN's offense from gaining continuity. QUOTE OF THE GAME ``It's desperation now. We have to win every game from now on.'' - CSUN receiver Jimmy Greninger NOTEBOOK: Alumni Association An alumni association is an association of graduates (alumni) or, more broadly, of former students.

The CSUN Alumni Association board of directors, which represents 130,000 alums, most of whom live in the San Fernando Valley San Fernando Valley Valley, southern California, U.S. Northwest of central Los Angeles, the valley is bounded by the San Gabriel, Santa Susana, and Santa Monica mountains and the Simi Hills. , voted ``unanimously and enthusiastically'' to support the school's effort to build a new stadium on campus. ``It means when push comes to shove, the alumni community is behind this being on campus,'' Alumni Association president Allan Oberman said. ``I think what it did was give a firm indication to (site committee chairman) David Honda and (CSUN president) Blenda Wilson that not only is there support, but overwhelming support.'' A few hundred area residents have attended the weekly site committee meetings to voice their displeasure about CSUN building a 12,000-15,000 seat stadium on campus. However, next month the site committee is expected to recommend land on the North Campus, just off Lassen Avenue, as the primary site. The Big Sky Conference has all but mandated CSUN build a stadium on campus in order to remain in the league, and two weeks ago Wilson proposed a piece of land on the North Campus as a site. In addition, Big Sky commissioner Doug Fullerton said all signs from the CSUN administration were positive. ``I've heard from the Northridge folks, `Yes, we're going to have it, and yes, we're going to have it on campus,' '' Fullerton said. ``That's what the other (Big Sky) presidents heard, and what (CSUN) said at the presidents meetings two weeks ago.''
