The Montana State University-Northern Lights haven't played a home game since November of 2018. So there's obviously reason to believe that the Lights will be fired up to play the Montana Western Bulldogs this Saturday at Blue Pony Stadium. And Northern fans should be fired up, too. That's because, even with their 53-34 loss at Rocky Mountain College last Saturday, the Lights are looking like they're turning a major corner. Especially offensively, where they are scoring 11...
