INDIANAPOLIS — Tennessee State football is back in the NCAA FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2013. The Tigers will travel to face Montana on Saturday, Nov. 30, at 10:15 p.m. ET / 9:15 p.m. CT / 8:15 p.m. MT, with the game airing on ESPN2.

The Tigers' last FCS Playoff appearance came in 2013, when they defeated Butler 31-0 in the opening round before falling to Eastern Illinois 51-10 in the second round.

This season also marks the 25th anniversary of TSU's last OVC championship season in 1999, when the Tigers won 11 games and went undefeated in conference play (7-0).

Montana enters the playoffs with an 8-4 record, earning an at-large bid from the Big Sky Conference.

Saturday's game will mark the first-ever meeting between TSU and Montana. The Grizzly are the alma mater of TSU defensive coordinator Brandon Fisher, who was a two-year starter at outside linebacker and appeared in two FCS Championship games during his collegiate career.

The winner of the first-round matchup will advance to face No. 3 seed South Dakota State.
