Before a Homecoming crowd of 19,847, the host Bobcats scored in the first quarter on a nine-yard pass from McKay to Treyton Pickering.
A 28-pound second-quarter Bobcat outburst began with a seven-yard run by Ifanse. He followed with a one-yard run for a 21-0 Montana State lead.
Callahan O'Reilly returned an interception 39 yards for another touchdown and a 42-0 Bobcat lead less than five minutes into the third quarter.
Sophomore running back Shakobe Harper put Cal Poly on the scoreboard with 3:39 remaining in the third quarter with an 18-yard run around left end, capping a six-play, 46-yard drive.
Montana State answers with a 46-yard field goal by Blake Glessner early in the fourth quarter, completing the scoring.
Freshman Jaden Jones from Oxnard High School took over at quarterback for Cal Poly on its second series of the game and rushed for 58 yards on 14 carries while completing four of 13 passes for 24 yards in his first college game.
Jones' favorite target was Zedakiah Centers with two catches for 22 yards.
Harper led Cal Poly's ground game with 97 yards on 14 carries, scoring Cal Poly's lone touchdown. Sam Stewart Jr. added 40 yards on 11 trips.
Montana State compiled a 440-262 advantage in total offense and 24-15 in first downs.
