BUTTE — Montana Tech's 27-24 home football win over the College of Idaho back on Sept. 27 did two things for the Orediggers.
One, it gave them a sense of redemption after falling to the Yotes in overtime back in 2024.
Two, it lifted Tech's record to 5-0 , the first time in the over century-long history of the program that the Orediggers have won their first five games.
Tech followed up that unprecedented fifth win with a 49-21 rout of Dakota State to open Frontier Conference East play with a victory while pushing its record to 6-0. Oh, and the Orediggers have yet to trail an opponent at any point this season.
