WE ARE MONTANA

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE MONTANA GRIZZLIES...

Had three players in postseason all-star games last season for the first time in school history following the 2013 season?

Have had 27 winning seasons in the last 28 years, including 26 in a row from 1986 to 2011, and have 277 wins during that time, for an average of 9.9 victories per year!?

Had a 10-3 record last season, which means they have won 10 or more games 10 times in the past 14 seasons? Since 1993, have won or shared 16 of the last 21 Big Sky Conference championships and have a record of 225-51 overall, and they are 132-27 in league games?

Are 52-12 in the Big Sky (84-21 overall) over the past eight seasons and won or shared a record 12 Big Sky titles in a row from 1998-2009?

Have had eight players drafted in the National Football League in the last six seasons and had 10 players on an NFL roster in the 2013 season?

Have 32 playoff victories – the second most in FCS history – and have participated in the FCS/Division I-AA playoffs a record 22 times?

Hold the FCS record with 17 straight playoff appearances from 1993-2009 (The old record was 10 by Eastern Kentucky from 1986-95.)?

Have been ranked in the top three in attendance in the FCS the last seven seasons and were ranked second in 2013, averaging 24,380 in the seven games played in Washington-Grizzly Stadium?

Broke their all-time attendance record in 2013, as they drew 26,293 in a 30-6 opening-season home win over Appalachian State (The Griz drew 26,082 fans in a game against Eastern Washington last season.)?

Hold Big Sky attendance records for single-season, regular-season home attendance average (25,652, 2009); single-season, regular-season total home attendance (174,236, seven games, 2008); and the largest crowd for a non-conference home game (25,698, Western Washington, Sept. 5, 2009)?

Own a record of 173-26 in Washington-Grizzly Stadium? The Grizzlies’ Big Sky title in 2009 was their 12th straight – the second longest winning streak in Division 1 history (Oklahoma has the record of 14, set from 1946-59.)?

Have been ranked in the Sports Network’s top 25 final poll in 20 of the past 21 years (The Griz were ranked eighth in the final poll of 2014.)?

Domination in the conference over the past 20-plus seasons earned them the honor of being named the No. 1 Moment in Big Sky history in 2014, as the league celebrated its 50th anniversary?

WE ARE MONTANAgriz spotlight shines on academics and in the community

Montana had eight of its 12 programs post term GPAs of 3.05 or better for the 2014 spring semester. That gave the Grizzlies a term GPA of 3.06 and a cumulative GPA of 3.08, their 18th consecutive semester having a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, dating back to fall 2005. Posting the highest term GPA for the fifth time in the last six semesters was the women’s cross country team at 3.64. Soccer came in at 3.51, volleyball at 3.44, women’s track and field at 3.30, men’s cross country at 3.09 and women’s basketball at 3.05. Basketball had a GPA of 2.96, their best term in the last seven semesters. Women’s golf had a semester GPA of 2.96, football a 2.82 and men’s track and field a 2.81. The University of Montana student-athletes volunteer annually to support various organizations, community events and educational activities. The Griz believe it is important to be invested in the community and work diligently to extend a helping hand whenever possible. The Griz student-athletes devoted over 1,400 hours of their time within Missoula and the surrounding communities during the 2013-2014 academic year. Griz in the Community is a program that enables student-athletes to have a holistic college experience by giving back to the surrounding community and the state of Montana. Student-athletes from every team have made over 300 appearances since the beginning of the program in 2008. UM student-athletes have continued to participate and serve in various community events which provide local fans the opportunity to interact with the Griz, including:

• American Red Cross • Local Elementary and Middle Schools • Missoula Buddy Walk® • Missoula Food Bank• United Way of Missoula • Watson’s Children Shelter • Western Montana Fair • YMCA

Not only do the Griz student-athletes participate in community service events, but they make it a priority to take part in community engagement. The objective of community engagement is to build lasting relationships with organizations within the community. Reoccurring projects that the Griz student-athletes participate in include:

• Active 6 • Flagship • Griz for Kidz Toy Drive • Habitat for Humanity • Missoula Food Bank Network • Super Grizzly Dip, Special Olympics

Derek Crittenden, junior defensive end, with UM President Royce Engstrom, received the prestigious President’s Award for academic achievement in 2014, a consecutive three-year winner. Derek was also named to the Capital One Academic All-District team in January 2014.

Football players participate in the annual Buddy Walk®.

(The Buddy Walk® was established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. For more information, contact: www.ndss.org/Buddy-Walk.)

2013 Women’s Cross Country team won the Athletic Director’s award for the team with the highest GPA.

WE ARE MONTANAwashington-grizzly stadium

The Home of the Grizzlies The 2014 football season will be the 29th that the Montana Grizzlies will play their home games in Washington-Grizzly Stadium/at John Hoyt Field (capacity 25,217). The past two seasons Montana finished sec-ond in the nation in the FCS in average atten-dance. The Griz averaged 24,380 fans per game last season in seven home games, and 25,236 in six home contests the year before. The Grizzlies broke their all-time attendance record last season, as they drew 26,293 to a 30-6 opening-season home win over Appalachian State. The Griz have topped the 26,000 mark three other times: against the Eastern Washing-ton Eagles (26,082), in 2012, versus Montana State (26,210), and in 2011 (26,066) also against the Eagles. (The EWU game in 2011 was the first time that more than 26,000 fans attended a game in the state). UM led the FCS in aver-age attendance in 2005, 2006, and 2009, and was ranked second in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2013. Montana’s 10-3 mark last season was its 27th winning season in a row over the past 28 years (since the Griz have been playing in Washing-ton-Grizzly Stadium). The first game played in WGS was on October 18, 1986, a 38-31 come-from-behind win over Idaho State. Since that first contest the Grizzlies have an overall record of 173-26 (87.1%). Over

NO PLACE LIKE HOME!: 2014 IS MONTANA’S 29th SEASON IN WASHINGTON-GRIZZLY STADIUM

the past eight seasons the Grizzlies are 45-5 at home in regular-season games. Montana has set numerous Big Sky Con-ference attendance records. The Griz hold the standards for single-season, regular-season home attendance average (25,652 in 2009): and single-season, regular-season total home atten-dance (174,236, seven games, 2008); and largest crowd for a non-conference home game (25,698 versus Western Washington, Sept. 5, 2009). UM also holds the league record for the largest crowd at a non-conference road game of 94,661, set at Tennessee in 2011.No Place Like Home Not only has Montana won 176 games in its 28 seasons of playing in Washington-Grizzly Stadium, but it has gone undefeated 10 times. Starting the 1994 season, the Griz reeled off 30 straight home victories. The win streak be-gan with a 41-7 win over Sonoma State on Sept. 3 and ended with a 40-35 loss to EWU on Oct. 18, 1997. Montana’s 30 consecutive home wins are the fifth longest streak in FCS history. Renovation and Construction Plans Begin in 2014 With support from the university adminis-tration and private donors, the athletic facility improvement plan includes the following: A new academic center that will be the first of these facility upgrades with construction scheduled to begin in the summer of 2014. This

facility will provide student-athletes with ample space to study and meet regularly with their aca-demic advisors. The lower level will remain a lobby to accommodate fire code restrictions for the Adams Center. The next priority will be to construct a new building next to the Grizzly Pool adjacent to the southwest corner of Washington-Grizzly Stadium. This building will house a new stu-dent-athlete weight room, football locker room, football lounge and football meeting rooms. It will connect to the Adams Center and allow the football team to continue to access the field through the existing player tunnel. The weight room and locker room will sit below grade and make up the first level while the second will in-clude a mezzanine level for the weight room, the football lounge and meeting rooms as well, as a wider concourse in the football stadium com-plete with additional rest rooms and concession stands. All spaces will be functional and open. After the completion of the new weight room/locker room building, the space where these were previously housed will be renovated into multiple locker rooms for the sports of men’s basketball, men’s tennis and men’s track and field as well as a new larger, central location for the athletic equipment room. The addition of locker rooms will also open up space to help the university host more outside events such as concerts and high school tournaments.

New Lights For 2012 New lights were installed in WGS in the spring of 2012. When the Big Sky Conference signed a television contract with ROOT SportsTM, each school in the league was required to install lights in their stadiums. The new lights, installed by Musco Lighting based in Oskaloosa, Iowa, made their debut on Saturday, April 14, 2012, at UM’s annual spring game. The lights are of the highest quality available, and feature “horizontal footcandles” in the 120-125 range, which means the Washington-Griz-zly Stadium has the ability to host all levels of NCAA televised football playoff games. It also includes lighting in the tailgate/parking areas. The project cost was approximately $950,000, and includes a 25-year or 20,000 hours service agreement.Stadium Expansions Washington-Grizzly Stadium underwent its third expansion, at a cost of approximately $6.5

million, prior to the 2008 football season. The eastside houses a 500-seat “Stadium Club” with two membership levels: the “Canyon Room,” which has 125 seats inside and 125 seats outside, and the “Hellgate Terrace,” which has 250 seats. The expansion in 2008 provided 375 Grizzly Scholarship Association priority seats, as well as 1,150 non-priority seats, and increased the cur-rent seating capacity of Washington-Grizzly Sta-dium to 25,217. A new Sprinturf playing surface was also installed with the expansion in 2008. The second expansion occurred in the spring and summer of 2003, and approximately 4,000 seats were added to the north end zone section, boosting the stadium capacity to 23,183, with the cost at around $3.5 million. In the spring of 1995 the stadium underwent its first expansion in the north and south end zones. At that time there were 12,500 perma-nent seats (weather-permitting, which allowed for seating on the grass in the end zones, which made the capacity around 15,000). The cost of that expansion was about $2.5 million. GrizVision, a video and message center, was added in 2002. GrizVision displays game statis-tics, player profiles, digital replays, and shots of the crowd. The screen came from New York City and Times Square. A natural-grass stadium gave way to SprinT-urf prior to the 2001 season at a cost of about $1 million, which was paid for by an anonymous donor. The field was named “John Hoyt Field” in 2001 at the request of the anonymous donor, in honor of Hoyt, a long-time Grizzly booster, who passed away in March of that year.Stadium History & Namesake The plans for an on-campus football facility at Montana came to fruition in August of 1985 when Missoula businessman Dennis R. Washington and the employees of Washington Corporations provided a gift of $1 million, hence the name of

Intercollegiate Athletics Facility Improvement PlanFacility Needs for Grizzly Athletics are Not Always Visible to the Public On the surface the University of Montana athletic venues are among the best in the Big Sky Conference and the Football Championship Sub-division. Dahlberg Arena, Washington-Grizzly Stadium, West Auxiliary Gym and South Campus Field have hosted legendary competitions in their respective sports. Without a doubt, our fans and student-athletes are in good shape come game day. Washington-Grizzly Stadium rivals many of the larger stadiums as the most intimidating place for a visiting player to step foot. When the Griz burst out of the tunnel they are greeted by the roar of more than 25,000 fans – a sound that tests the nerves of the most seasoned players. Everyone in attendance gets to witness the pageantry and excitement that is Grizzly football. However, very few fans get the opportunity to go behind the scenes and see those areas that matter most in the everyday life of the student-athlete – the training, practice, and service facilities. It is the weight room, academic center, meeting rooms and locker rooms where all student-athletes spend the vast majority of their time. It is where Montana Grizzlies are made! In these critical areas, UM is significantly lacking and pales in comparison to the image portrayed by the thundering stadium on those glorious fall Saturdays.

Infrastructure and Student-Athlete Success Go Hand-In-Hand Student-athletes know what to look for when visiting a college campus. In order to recruit the best student-athletes, focus on their academic and athletic welfare, and continue the success UM Athletics has enjoyed over the many years, the university must improve these vital “infrastructure” facilities. Upgrades for these facilities have been identified as a top priority by the athletic department and the university president. The existing academic center is undersized at 700 square-feet and can only serve a small number of the 300-plus total student-athletes. The weight room has limited space and is currently split between three sepa-rate rooms, making the working area difficult to supervise, unsafe, and

ineffective. Meeting space is currently limited to one small room and a student-athlete lounge doesn’t exist. The women’s locker room facilities have recently been improved. The men’s locker room was renovated in 1992, and a remodel is beyond over-due. The space has become too small and there are concerns relating to the health and well-being of UM’s student-athletes.

Facility Renovation and Construction Plan With support from the university administration and private donors, the athletic facility improvement plan includes the following: A new academic center that will be the first of these facility upgrades with construction scheduled to begin in the summer of 2014. This facil-ity will provide our student-athletes with ample space to study and meet regularly with their academic advisors (see artist rendering on page 14). The lower level will remain a lobby to accommodate fire code restrictions and the Adams Center. The next priority will be to construct a new building next to the Griz-zly Pool adjacent to the southwest corner of Washington-Grizzly Stadium (see artist rendering below). This building will house a new student-athlete weight room, football locker room, football lounge and football meeting rooms. It will connect to the Adams Center and allow the football team to continue to access the field through the existing player tunnel. The weight room and locker room will sit below grade and make up the first level while the second will include a mezzanine level for the weight room, the football lounge and meeting rooms as well as a wider concourse in the football stadium complete with additional rest rooms and conces-sion stands. All spaces will be functional and open. After the completion of the new weight room/locker room building, the space where these were previously housed will be renovated into mul-tiple locker rooms for the sports of men’s basketball, men’s tennis, and men’s track and field as well as a new larger, central location for the athletic equipment room. The addition of locker rooms will also open up space to help the university host more outside events such as concerts and high school tournaments.

WE ARE MONTANA2014 OUTLOOK: GRIZ RETURN 14 STARTERS FROM 10-3 TEAM

MISSOULA, MONTANA – The Grizzlies adopted the theme “United” for the 2013 season – and were determined to once again of being one of the elite teams in the FCS. Mission accomplished. The Grizzlies were 10-3 overall last season and 6-2 in the Big Sky Conference, tying for third place. Last season the Griz earned an at-large berth into the FCS playoffs – upping its record total appearances to 21. UM was ranked eighth in the nation in the Sports Network and FCS Coaches’ final polls. Montana, which has now racked up 27 winning seasons in the past 28 years, returns 14 starters this season – seven on offense, five on defense, and its punter and kicker. The Grizzlies were recognized for football dominance over the past three decades in June of 2014, as Montana football was tabbed the “Greatest Moment” by the Big Sky, which celebrated its 50-year anniversary this past season. There are big holes to fill this season for third-year head coach Mick Delaney and his staff. The Griz lost seven three-year starters to graduation, including three linebackers and a safety on defense, along with three offensive linemen. Despite the loss of three all-league offensive linemen in Danny Kistler Jr. (right tackle), Kjelby Oiland (center), and William Poehls (right guard), the Griz have an excellent group of skill players returning. The Griz also lost tight ends Clay Pierson and Jordan Harper, who had nine scoring receptions between them. Leading the way are UM’s two senior offensive team captains, quarterback Jor-dan Johnson and halfback Jordan Canada. Last season Johnson passed for 3,387 yards and 32 touchdowns, while Canada rushed for 1,062 yards and 16 scores. The Grizzlies two top receivers a year ago, Ellis Henderson and Jamaal Jones, both juniors, are also back. Those two combined for 85 catches, 1,768 yards, and 17 touchdowns (14 of those TDs were scored by Henderson). Unfortunately Hender-son missed most of fall camp because of an illness, but he hopes to return to action this season.

Another key starter returning on an offense that was ranked 15th in the FCS (453.1 ypg) in total offense is senior Trevor Poole at right tackle, although Poole may not be able to play for health reasons. “We are really excited about what we return on offense,” said Griz head coach Mick Delaney. “Certainly we have a void in the offensive line when you lose three

players like that, but our guys have worked hard at that this past spring and we’ll be alright there this season. “At our quarterback, running back, wide receiver positions, we have guys who have played a lot of football for the Griz, and have been very, very productive,” he said. “We will be very young at tight end and on the offensive line, but we think we can still put that together and be pretty darn productive on offense. “Having a quarterback back who has started two years, who has a great feel for what we are doing here and a great feel for the game, and is a good leader is certainly always a plus on the offensive side of the football,” Delaney said. “I think that we have a great group of young receivers, and we will be able to stretch the field on of-fense vertically, and our passing game horizontally is going to be good too. “Our running game is also going to be very solid,” he said. “We’ve got our four top running backs back, and a redshirt freshman who hasn’t played who will add to that group.” On defense, UM needs to replace senior linebackers Brock Coyle, John Kanongata’a, and Jordan Tripp. That trio all earned all-conference honors last sea-son, and played in a combined 153 career games during their outstanding careers. Two other key losses are tackle Alex Bienemann and cornerback Anthony Goodwin, both second team All-Big Sky picks a year ago. Also lost to graduation is three-year starting strong safety Bo Tully. However, there are some talented veterans and a good nucleus of younger play-ers back on UM’s opportunistic defense of a year ago, that was ranked second in the nation in turnover margin at +1.4 a game. Headlining the “D” are returning starters Zack Wagenmann and Tyrone Holmes at end, along with tackle Tonga Takai, free safety Matt Hermanson, and cornerback Nate Harris. “On the defensive side, we lost three all-conference players, and two of them (Coyle and Tripp) are in NFL camps,” Delaney said. “But we had six young guys (linebackers) in the spring, and every one of them is capable of playing Big Sky football. I think we’re going to be better at linebacker than most people thought we were. “At safety we lost one (Tully) and we’ve got one (Hermanson) back, and we’re going to be fine there,” he said. “And then at corner we have everybody back except for Goodwin. Our real strength on defense is going to be our front,” Delaney said. “I think that will be as good as anyone’s in FCS football. Our two ends have started, our tackles have started and played a lot of football for us. So we’re going to be really good up front, and we’re going to be solid with some inexperience at linebacker and at one safety position. But that inexperienced group will be veterans by the time we get to conference play.” The Griz return a talented punter in junior Stephen Shaw, and sophomore Har-rison Greenberg is the number one kicker, although juniors Chris Lider and Daniel Sullivan are also in the mix.

OFFENSE: POSITION-BY-POSITION• QUARTERBACK Johnson (6-1, 195, 3V) is 20-6 as a starter. He was third team all-league selec-tion last season. He begins his senior year ranked fifth in school history in career touchdown passes (53) and ninth in career passing yards (5,831). Senior Shay Smithwick-Hann (6-4, 219, 3V) started three games in 2012, and went 2-1, and is the only other signal-caller with significant experience. Strong-armed sophomore Brady Gustafson (6-7, 235, 1V) and redshirt freshman Makena Simis (6-2, 205) provide depth. “We’re very fortunate to have Jordy back as a third-year starter,” Delaney said. “He’s just such a leader for our football team, and I think he’s going to have a great season. As far as depth goes at that position, Brady Gustafson did a really nice job in the spring and is going into fall camp fighting for that number two position with Shay, who has playing experience. I think Makena has a place in what we are doing offen-sively, and we may have a package here and there for him because of his athleticism.”

• RUNNING BACK The Griz return their top three rushers in Canada (5-9, 190, Sr., 3V), senior Tra-von Van (5-11, 195, 1V) and sophomore John Nguyen (5-7, 180, 1V). Talented red-shirt freshman Treshawn Favors (5-9, 190) and true freshman Lorenzo Logwood (5-8, 190) should also contribute. Van was slowed by injuries last season, but was second on the team with 523 rushing yards for six touchdowns. Nguyen rushed for 267 yards and two scores, while Counts had 207 and one TD, and missed the last five games of the season due to an injury.

WE ARE MONTANA2014 OUTLOOK: GRIZ RETURN 14 STARTERS FROM 10-3 TEAM

“I am real happy with our depth at running back, led by Jordan Canada, who I think is going to have a break-out season,” Delaney said. “We have great depth and variety back there. Travon Van had hand surgery at the end on spring football, and may not be quite ready by the time that we start fall camp, but will certainly be ready by our first or second game. “John Nguyen had an excellent season for a true freshman,” Delaney said. “You take those three and then thrown in ‘Tre’ Favors, and it should be a position of strength and depth for us.”

• FULLBACK Junior Jamal Wilson (5-11, 245, 1V) started all 13 games last season and did not have a carry. Two true freshmen, Riley Kack (6-2, 240) and Austin Chadderdon (6-2, 200) will more-than-likely provide depth.

• OFFENSIVE LINE Poole (6-5, 285, Sr., 3V) started all 13 games last season, while senior center Logan Hines (6-4, 290, 2V) had a couple of starts at center. Jordan Hines (6-4, 271, Sr., 1V) may start at left guard, while sophomore Ben Weyer (6-4, 270, 1V) will get the nod on the right side, and they will be backed up by McCauley Todd (6-7, 300, So.). A pair of talented sophomores, Max Kelly (6-7, 290, 1V) and Clint LaRowe (6-5, 290, 1V), will both see plenty of action at the tackles positions. Newcomer Jackson Thiebes (6-5, 260) and junior college transfer Jared Clark (6-5, 270, So., from Citrus College) should also contribute. “The O-line is a question, but I think we have guys who, in the tradition of Griz-zly football, know it’s their time to step up and play,” Delaney said. “Obviously we are lacking a little bit of experience in some positions. It will be a battle for depth. We’ve got guys who have the opportunity to make that offensive line be solid. That’s where everything starts.”

• TIGHT END Redshirt freshman Mike Ralston (6-5 ½, 245) and senior Mitch Saylor (a 6-5, 235-pounder who was moved from tight end to wide receiver) are expected to go head-to-head for the starting berth in fall camp. Junior college signee Jermaine Jones (6-2, 225) from Laney College is expected to make an immediate impact. A big plus could be the return of Josh Horner (6-5, 215), a 2013 Griz signee who left the team for personal reasons, but is now coming

back. Also vying for playing time is Cooper Sprunk (6-4, 250, Fr., RS). “Mike Ralston had a really good spring and has all of the makings of a really good tight end,” Delaney said. “Even though it looks like we were hurting at the position we’ve added some depth and some strength there. I think Mitch Saylor will have a break-out season. Again, we are lacking in experience, but we have a good amount of talent there.”

• WIDE RECEIVER Henderson was a second team All-Big Sky pick, and Jones had a stellar season as well. Junior Chase Naccarato (5-7, 166, 2V) tied for fourth on the team a year ago with 17 catches.A trio of young players, Ryan Burke (6-4, 190, So.), Josh Janssen (6-0, 195, Fr.), and Marq Rogers (6-4, 181, Fr.), had impressive springs and should contribute this season. Two veterans, senior Sean Haynes (6-3, 195, 3V) and Taylor Walcott (6-0, 180, Jr., 2V) both missed spring drills as they recovered from off-season surgery, but also should be in the mix. “Ellis has been battling some health issues, and hopefully he’ll be ready to go this season,” Delaney said. “Jamaal came in a year ago and was kind of in the back-ground with Ellis around, but he’s a leader type of a guy, and when all was said and done he had really a break-out season. We just expect huge things from him. “Depth-wise, we’ve got some guys battling injuries, including Sean Haynes who has an injury to his foot, and Taylor Walcott who also had a foot injury, and he’s still trying to rehab that. When you look at those young people there, I think we have some guys who can help us at the wide receiver position. Again, some guys without a lot of experience, but players who are ready to contribute and be good Griz foot-ball players.”

DEFENSE: POSITION-BY-POSITION• DEFENSIVE LINE This is a veteran group that returns two starters at end in Holmes (6-4, 245, Jr., 2V) and Wagenmann (6-3 ½, 255, Sr., 3V) , as well as Takai (6-2, 310, Sr., 3V) at tackle, and junior Caleb Kidder (6-5, 275, Jr., 2V) had two starts at tackle last season. Last season Wagenmann had team-highs of 16.5 stops for loss and 8.5 sacks, and he was fifth in total tackles with 64. Holmes tied for third on the squad with 4.0 sacks. Kidder is the Grizzlies’ fourth leading tackler with 40 last season, while Takai is eighth (32 TT). Junior Derek Crittenden (6-3, 240, 2V) was UM’s eighth leading (tied) tackler (41 total tackles) a year ago despite not starting and provides depth at end. Junior Addison Owen (6-2, 225, 2V) was moved from linebacker to end last spring and is expected to back up Holmes. Adding depth at end are sophomore Ryan Johnson (6-2 ½, 255) and junior Aschan Richards (6-6, 250). Senior Trevor Rehm (6-3, 265, 3V) had 24 tackles last season, and is an expe-rienced veteran. Providing depth at the tackle position are sophomores Bo Harris (6-3, 280) and Zach Peevey (6-2 ½, 255, 1V), and redshirt freshman Nate Bradley (5-10, 260). “When you look at our defensive line it’s probably as good as anyone in the conference and maybe anybody at the FCS level,” Delaney said. “We have depth, we have outstanding athletes, and we have experience. That should be the strength of our defense. “When you look at our defense you start with the ends, where we have a Bu-chanan Award candidate, Zack, who had a great year as a junior – an All-American kind of year,” he said. “On the other side is Tyrone Holmes, who was a starter for us last year, and Derek Crittenden is a solid back-up with a lot of game experience. “When you go inside, Tonga Takai is an All-America candidate for us, and Ca-leb Kidder has a handful of starts and has played in every single game for us the past two seasons and will be a force inside,” Delaney said. “Overall, from the outside to the inside, the defensive front will be a major factor for us on that side of the foot-ball.”

• LINEBACKER Like the offensive line, the linebacker position has some huge holes to fill, al-though they do have four talented juniors vying for starting berths. That group includes Herbert Gamboa (6-1, 220, 2V) and Connor Lebsock (6-2, 205, 1V) at “Sam,” Jeremiah Kose (6-3, 230) at “Mike,” and Kenderick Van Ackeren (6-1, 220, 1V) at “Will, who are all juniors.” Two redshirt freshmen, Tucker Schye (6-4, 225) and Connor Strahm (6-1, 235), had outstanding springs and will definitely see action, if not challenge for starting jobs at the “Mike” and “Will” spots.

WE ARE MONTANA2014 OUTLOOK: GRIZ RETURN 14 STARTERS FROM 10-3 TEAM

“That was the pleasant surprise of the spring, our linebacking crew,” he said. “The question every day is ‘how are you going to replace Jordan Tripp, Brock Coyle, and J.P. Kanongata’a?’ Those are huge shoes to fill. But again, we have guys whose turn it is to step up and have the ability to do just that for us. “Jeremiah will be a special player if he can stay healthy; Kenderick had an out-standing spring and has good experience; and Herbert Gamboa has a tremendous amount of talent,” Delaney said. “Connor Lebsock will help us there, as will Tucker Schye in the middle, as will Connor outside. That gives us six guys who will all play. It’s a position I am not near as concerned about as I was after the season.”

• CORNERBACK Junior Nate Harris (5-10, 180, 2V) is a returning starter and honorable mention all-league pick at the “Field” corner, while senior Joshua Dennard (5-11, 194, 3V), who has a few starts and played in 36 career games, will start at the “Boundary” position. Sophomore JR Nelson (6-0, 177, 1V) and redshirt freshmen Ryan McKinley (6-1, 188) will be expected to contribute as well. “I think we got better at corner as the season went along last year, and I think we were even better during the spring; with Josh and Nate, and JR, and Ryan,” Delaney said. “Those four guys did some really good things there this past spring. Chris Parker was injured part of the spring, but he came along.”

• SAFETY Senior Matt Hermanson (6-1, 202, 3V), who will be starting at free safety for the third season in a row, was a second team all-conference pick a year ago when he was second on the team with 107 tackles. Justin Whitted (6-1, 195, 2V) ended spring drills as the starter at strong safety, vacated by the veteran Tully, although fellow junior Jake Dallaserra (5-11, 190, 1V) is a contender there for a starting role. Senior Jamaal Anderson (5-11, 195) is also vying for playing time, and junior college addition Eric Johnson (6-2, 190, Jr. from Laney College) is expected to con-tribute this season. “Matt is an All-American candidate for us, and he had a good sophomore season and an outstanding junior year,” Delaney said. “He’s one of those guys who knows what our defense is all about. He’s a leader on that defense on the back end and brings continuity to the secondary. “At the other safety spot I think we will have a real battle,” he said. “Justin Whit-ted has done some really good things for us, and pushing him is Jake Dallaserra who is now in the mix, and we expect great things out of him.

“We felt that we needed help in four positions and we filled each one of the positions – at safety, at tight end, an offensive lineman, and a corner from the junior college ranks,” he said.

• SPECIAL TEAMS Henderson was tabbed second team All-Big Sky as a return specialist, and led the league in punt return average (12.2 ypr), and he was fourth in kickoff return average (24.0 ypr). He was ranked seventh in the nation in punt returns and 39th in kickoff returns. “Ellis was dynamic in the return game, and that’s one of his specialities, in ad-dition to what he gives you on offense,” Delaney said. “We have a good number of young men who have not been tried as return guys who will give us some help there. Jamaal Jones can make the first guy miss, and John Nguyen has helped us there. Joey Counts can do some good things in the return game as well.” Shaw was ranked seventh in the FCS last season, averaging 43.87 yards a punt, and was a honorable mention all-league pick for the second year in a row. “Stephen Shaw, I think is one of the top punters in FCS football,” Delaney said. “He’s a proven commodity at the position and really did a nice job for us last year, and did a good job the year before that.” Lider was All-Big Sky two seasons ago as UM’s kicker, when he made 15-of-21 field goal attempts. “The place-kicking job was wide open in the spring,” he said. “We feel like we have two young men with a lot of talent, and I may have pushed the young guys too hard last year. If we were to play tomorrow Harrison Greenberg would be our place-kicker up to a certain distance, and Chris Lider would be our long-range guy.”

2014 SCHEDULE Montana has a daunting slate this season, especially on the road. The Griz open their season at Wyoming on August 30. UM’s next road contest is Sept. 20 at North Dakota State, the three-time defending FCS national champion. On Oct. 4 UM plays at North Dakota for the third straight season in a Big Sky game. They also have Big Sky games at Cal Poly (Oct. 25), at Eastern Washington (Nov. 8), and at Southern Utah (Nov. 15). The Grizzlies home opener is Sept. 6 against Central Washington, and a week later they host coach Joe Glenn’s South Dakota team. League home contests start Sept. 27 with Northern Colorado (Homecoming); followed by UC Davis (Oct. 18), Sacramento State (Nov. 1), and then the 114th “Brawl of the Wild” encounter against Montana State on Nov. 22. “It’s a challenging schedule, but our coaches and players are excited about play-ing Wyoming,” Delaney said. “Any time that you can open with an FBS school is exciting. We were at Tennessee a few years ago (2011) and that proved to be a very valuable experience for our players. They have the old North Dakota State staff with coach (Craig) Bohl now at Wyoming. We expect to line up and have to play very physical football to have even a chance to win that football game. That’s a great opener for us. “We come back home against Central Washington, who we struggled with a few years ago (UM beat CWU 38-35 at home in 2008) when we had a great team (the Griz went 14-2 that season),” Delaney said. “They are a Division II team, but they will be a formidable opponent. “And then we’re home against South Dakota and then back on the road at North Dakota State,” he said. “Those first four games will tell us if we are going to be a competitive, good football team – or are we going to struggle? I really think that we will come out of that stretch being very, very competitive. “To be honest with you, I haven’t even looked down the road at Cal Poly and Eastern being on the road – I’ve tried to put that out of my mind for awhile and get ourselves ready for our first four games,” he said. “Eastern Washington in on very solid ground right now; Montana State is al-ways near the top; Northern Arizona was right there; Cal Poly was right there; and Southern Utah was right there,” Delaney continued. “Then you throw in the other teams like Sac State and Cal-Davis which will both be better this year. And then Northern Colorado has improved every year and all of the other teams in the league have gotten better.

at MONTANA 30, APPALACHIAN STATE 6

MISSOULA, MT (8/31/13) – Two of the premier teams in FCS football squared off, and the University of Montana Grizzlies came away with an impressive 30-6 victory over the Appalachian State Mountaineers in front of a record crowd of 26,293 in UM’s Washing-ton-Grizzly Stadium. It was an impressive debut for the 20th-ranked Grizzlies, who racked up almost 500 yards of offense against a Mountaineers team (which had 328 total yards) that was 8-4 last season and returned 18 starters. ASU is making the move to the FBS next season, and because of that is not eligible for the FCS playoffs in 2013.It was the first regular-season game under the lights for the Griz-zlies, who jumped out to a 16-3 lead after an impressive first half in which they out-gained the 12th-ranked Mountaineers 272 total yards to 138, and had controlled the ball almost twice as much (19:05 to 10:55) time.Montana took a 16-0 lead when junior quarterback Jordan John-son connected with sophomore wide receiver Ellis Henderson on a 6-yard scoring pass, followed by junior running back Travon Van’s 2-yard scoring run, and then a 25-yard field goal by sophomore kicker Chris Lider.ASU finally got on the board when it marched 54 yards on five plays in the closing minutes of the second quarter, as senior place-kick-er Drew Stewart nailed a 48-yard field goal as time expired at halftime.Stewart cut the Griz advantage to 16-6 with a 21-yard field goal with 9:54 to go in the third quarter – which proved to be the only points scored by either squad in that stanza.Montana, which is now 3-0 at home (and 3-1 overall) against ASU, tacked on two more touchdowns, the first on a 1-yard run by junior halfback Jordan Canada, and the second an 11-yard pass from Johnson to freshman tight end Jordan Harper. Harper’s TD, which were the final points scored in the game, came with 9:23 left to play.Van’s first game at Montana was a stellar one, as the transfer from Marshall rushed 20 times for 118 yards and a score, while Canada was just as outstanding, picking up 112 yards and a TD on 25 totes. Mon-tana rushed 52 times for 246 yards and two scores.Johnson was a very competent 19-of-23-0 (82.6%) passing for 251 yards and two touchdowns.Sophomore wide receiver Jamaal Jones, a transfer from Washing-ton, had a team-high 6 catches for 60 yards, while Henderson had 3 grabs for 72 yards and a TD.UM’s defense, which held ASU to no touchdowns, was led by its three senior linebackers, John Kanongata’a (9 total tackles), Jordan Tripp (7 TT), and Brock Coyle (7 TT). Senior safety Bo Tully had two key plays for the D – recovering a fumble and grabbing an intercep-tion, and he also had 6 tackles.ASU’s quarterback combination of senior Jamal Londry-Jackson and sophomore Kameron Bryant were 21-of-33-1 for 205 yards. The Mountaineers gained 123 rushing yards on 26 carries. Freshman linebacker John Law and sophomore linebacker Kevin Walton had a game-high 12 tackles each.The Mountaineers had not lost a season opener to an FCS opponent since losing 22-10 at North Carolina A&T in 1993.

MONTANA 55, at NORTH DAKOTA 17

GRAND fORKS, ND – Junior quarterback Jordan Johnson threw five touchdown passes – three of them to sophomore wide receiver Ellis Henderson, as the Grizzlies registered a convincing 55-17 non-league victory over the University of North Dakota Saturday evening in front of 9,726 mostly partisan fans in UND’s Alerus Center. Both teams are members of the Big Sky Conference, but this was a non-league contest, as the teams had a home-and-home agreement before UND joined the Big Sky. The teams meet again next season in Grand Forks for a conference game. Johnson was incredibly efficient, going 15-of-19-0 for the five touchdowns, and he threw for a career-high354 yards. Those numbers gave him passing efficiency rating of 322.3 – a Big Sky record. It was Johnson’s first career 300-yard passing game in 14 starts. His five touch-down throws tied him with several other players for the second most ever in a game.Henderson had five receptions for a career-best 124 yards, to go along with his three TD grabs. Those three touchdown catches tie him for the second most in a game with several other players.Montana (2-0) was incredibly consistent on offense, scoring on its first five possessions, and converting nine-of-10 third downs.The game was full of big plays by the visiting Grizzlies, as they scored on five touchdowns of 30 or more yards, and had three over 50 — including a 70-yarder, a 52-yarder, and a 51-yarder. Montana’s of-fensive domination was evident by its first (and only) punt of the game, which occurred with 6:02 left in the contest. The Grizzlies’ running attack was also solid, as halfback Jordan Canada rushed 14 times for 104 yards and two touchdowns, while fel-low junior Travon Van had 10 totes for 72 yards and a score. It was Canada’s second straight 100-yard rushing game and the fourth of his career.Johnson hooked up with Van on a 70-yard touchdown pass, which tied for the 15th longest in school history.UM’s defense held UND’s potent offense to 336 total yards (281 pass-ing), while the Grizzlies had 609 total yards (376 passing and 233 rush-ing). Junior defensive end Zack Wagenmann had three stops for loss and a pair of sacks, as well as 6 tackles. Griz senior linebacker Brock Coyle had a game-high nine tackles, while junior safety Matt Herman-son and senior linebacker Jordan Tripp each had seven stops. Tripp and sophomore cornerback Nate Harris each had an interception for UM.UND (1-2) quarterback Joe Mollberg, a redshirt freshman, was 25-of-43-2 for 281 yards and two touchdowns, while sophomore wide re-ceiver Jameer Jackson had 9 catches for 86 yards. All-American senior receiver Greg Hardin had 5 catches for 46 yards.The win by Montana avenged a painful 40-34 loss by Montana at UND last season, in a game which UND had 704 total yards (and a con-ference record 660 yards passing), and scored nine points in the final two minutes of play en route to the win.The Griz had a big-play first half, with touchdown throws of 70, 53, 35, and 22 yards, with three of those TD passes by Johnson. The other TD throw was by wide receiver Chase Naccarato, which was a 22-yarder to Cam Warren. It was the first career pass attempt for Naccarato, a sophomore.

at MONTANA 47, OPSU AGGIES 14MISSOULA, MT -- The 9th/11th-ranked University of Montana Griz-zlies scored on six of their first seven possessions and true freshman half-back John Nguyen rushed for 144 yards, as UM cruised to a 47-14 victory over the out-manned Oklahoma Panhandle State Aggies in a non-league game.A boisterous (first half anyway) Washington-Grizzly Stadium crowd of 25,814 was on hand – the eighth largest in WGS history (196 games).A lot of the starters for the Grizzlies played in just a few series in the contest, and the outcome was pretty much decided in the first quarter.The game started with a two-play, 71-yard drive, with quarterback Jor-dan Johnson connecting with wide receiver Ellis Henderson for a 17-yard touchdown, as UM went up 7-0 in the first 41 seconds of action. Hender-son’s score was set up by a 54-yard run on an end-around play by wide-out Chase Naccarato.The Aggies (1-3) held the Griz on their next series, but Montana then scored on its next five possessions, and when quarterback Shay Smithwick-Hann threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Taylor Walcott, who made a difficult, one-handed grab, UM took a commanding 31-0 lead with 1:43 to go in the first quarter.Montana head coach Mick Delaney brought in his back-ups early, and all 63 players who suited up and were able to play saw action. The Griz tacked on another TD early in the second quarter on a 5-yard run by halfback Joey Counts to take a 38-0 lead with 14:02 left until halftime.OPSU scored two unanswered touchdowns against UM’s number two defense, making the score 38-14 at intermission. The Aggies’ scores came on a 5-yard scoring throw from quarterback Caleb Holbrook to Tim Hol-lingshed, and a 1-yard run by sophomore tight end Kameron Young.The Grizzlies shut out the Aggies, a Division II independent with an en-rollment of 1,400, in the second half. OPSU was limited to 91 total yards and four first downs in the final 30 minutes of play.Montana’s nine second half total points all came in the third quarter, and all came via field goals, as Ben Worst nailed a pair of 41-yarders, and redshirt frosh Harrison Greenberg made a 21-yarder. One of the highlights of the game was provided by Worst, a true freshman from Twin Falls, Idaho, who connected on a 50-yard field goal in the open-ing quarter. Worst, whose 50-yarder tied him for the sixth longest field goal in school history, made all three of his field goal attempts.Johnson played in just four series and all were in the first quarter and was 3-of-6 passing for 59 yards and a touchdown. Smithwick-Hann was 3-of-9-0 for 29 yards and two TDs, while redshirt freshman QB Brady Gus-tafson went 2-of-4-0 for 40 yards.UM had eight different players catch passes, and Henderson, Walcott, and true freshman tight end Jordan Harper had one scoring reception each. Nguyen had 22 carries for his 144 yards. Counts and junior halfback Travon Van each rushed for a touchdown. UM’s top two rushers, Jordan Canada and Travon Van combined for just eight carries and 17 yards. Montana rushed 45 times for 262 yards and two scores. The three Griz quarterbacks’ passing totals were 8-of-19-0 for 128 yards and three touchdowns. Sophomore QB Trent McKinney did not play due to an illness.Sophomore linebacker Addison Owen had five tackles, an interception, and a fumble recovery. Junior defensive end Zack Wagenmann had 2.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble in limited action.Holbrook was 8-of-18-1 passing for 50 yards and one TD pass. Sopho-more running back Chris McClendon led OPSU with 57 yards rushing on 14 totes. Aggie linebacker Tanner Hallford had a game-high 9 tackles.

fLAGSTAff, AZ – Northern Arizona University’s Zach Bauman rushed for 118 yards and 2 touchdowns and the Lumberjacks re-turned two fumbles for scores, as they defeated the Montana Griz-zlies in NAU’s Walkup Skydome. It was the Big Sky Conference opener for the teams, as the Grizzlies (3-1/0-1) suffered their first defeat of the season, and the Jacks (3-1/1-0) registered their third victory in a row.It was the second straight win for NAU over Montana. The Griz-zlies had defeated the Lumberjacks 14 consecutive seasons until los-ing this season and last year. It was NAU’s first win over UM in Flagstaff since 1997 (27-24).The Griz put themselves in a deep hole early in the third quarter, as cornerback Marcus Allen recovered a UM fumble and returned it 22 yards for a touchdown, giving NAU a 25-point, 28-3 lead with 13:59 left in that stanza.Montana’s offense struggled in the first three quarters, and scored its first touchdown of the game with 12:14 left, when Jordan Johnson tossed a 15-yard scoring pass to wide receiver Mitch Saylor.After the Johnson-to-Saylor hook-up NAU kicker Andy Wild-er connected on back-to-back field goals from 23 and 46 yards out, and his second three-pointer gave the Jacks a 34-10 advantage with 5:01 left in the contest.The Grizzlies’ final score came on a 9-yard pass from Johnson to freshman tight end Jordan Harper with 3:02 to go.The Jacks took a commanding early first-quarter lead, as Bauman scored on back-to-back touchdowns on runs of 41 and 5 yards, his second TD run coming with 8:26 remaining in the opening stanza. UM’s only points in the first half came on a 42-yard field goal by freshman kicker Ben Worst with 5:20 left in the first quarter.NAU tacked on another score on a 95-yard fumble return by line-backer Ryan Reardon with 2:03 left until halftime. That defensive score came after Griz quarterback Jordan Johnson tried to score on a 4th-and-3, but the ball was jarred loose and Reardon scooped in up and raced into the end zone for the TD. NAU led 21-3 at intermission. Bauman had 11 carries for 92 yards and his two scores in the first half.Johnson was 17-of-38-0 for 292 yards and 2 TDs, but was sacked four times.

at MONTANA 55, PORTLAND STATE 27 MISSOULA, MT – The 10th-ranked Montana Grizzlies scored on five of their first six possessions, and the defense had a pair of impressive goal-line stands in a 55-27 Big Sky Conference victory over the Portland State Vikings in UM’s homecoming game.It was UM’s eighth win in a row over PSU, and the Vikings have now lost 10 straight in Missoula.In the victory, Montana also exhibited a power running game, rush-ing 47 times for 368 yards (and 17 first downs) – an average of 8.0 yards per attempt. UM had the ball for 34 minutes.The Griz went three-and-out their first time on offense, but then ripped out five straight scores, and on the fifth – a 2-yard touchdown run by halfback Jordan Canada, they took a 35-13 lead with 8:16 left until half-time.Senior tight end Clay Pierson started UM’s scoring onslaught with a 36-yard scoring pass from quarterback Jordan Johnson with 12:22 to go in the opening quarter. It was Pierson’s first catch of the season, and he ended up with two more TD receptions in the contest.After UM’s initial score, PSU answered with one of its own, as quar-terback Kieran McDonagh connected with running back Shaq Richard on a 32-yard touchdown pass. An errant center snap from center foiled the Vikings’ PAT attempt, and the Griz had a slim 7-6 lead at 10:45 in the first stanza.Montana took a 14-6 lead on its next possession as halfback Travon Van broke loose for a 42-yard TD run with 8:06 remaining in the first quarter. PSU fumbled on its own 2-yard line on its next series, and UM linebacker Jordan Tripp recovered the ball in the end zone for a TD, and UM took a 21-6 lead with 7:18 to go in the first.PSU cut the UM lead to 21-13 on a touchdown pass, but the Griz responded with back-to-back touchdowns, on a pass from Johnson to wide-out Cam Warren, and Canada’s 2-yard run, and UM took a 22-point (35-13) lead. UM’s first big goal-line stand came mid-way through the second quarter, when PSU had first-and-goal at the Grizzlies’ 5-yard line. Se-nior cornerback Anthony Goodwin had two pass deflections, and Tripp stopped PSU running back DJ Adams for a 2-yard loss, as the Griz held the Vikings out of the endzone.Montana scored on its first four possessions of the second half, and jumped to an almost insurmountable 55-20 advantage with 9:02 left to play. The Grizzlies’ scoring plays in the last two quarters were a pair of touchdown passes (25, 10) from Johnson to Pierson, and two field goals by kicker Ben Worst.UM’s other goal-line stop occurred in the middle of the third quarter, on back-to-back tackles for one-yard losses, by Zack Wagenmann and Alex Bienemann.Van and Canada both had 100-plus yard rushing games. Van gained a career-high 136 yards and Canada had 102.Johnson was 12-of-24-0 for 203 yards and 4 touchdowns. Pierson had 3 catches – all three went for TDs. Tripp had a game-high 10 tackles, a TFL, and the fumble recovery for a TD. Linebacker Brock Coyle and end Derek Crittenden had 9 tack-les apiece. Goodwin had 2 interceptions and remained among the FCS leaders in pass break-ups, as he had 7 PDs to go along with 3 tackles. Adams rushed 18 times for 79 yards.

Griz ju-nior quarterback Jordan Johnson was 12-of-20-0 for 163 yards and 2 TDs. Johnson’s two touchdown throws give him 38 in his career, tying him for the eighth most in school history with Andrew Selle (2007-10) and Marty Mornhinweg (1980-85).It was an impressive game by the Grizzlies on both sides of the football. The offense racked up 418 total yards, rushed 51 times for 255 yards and 3 TDs, and picked up 25 first downs. The Grizzlies also executed flaw-lessly, as they had zero penalties (UCD had four for 29 yards).Montana’s “D” held UC Davis to 237 net yards and 14 first downs, and registered four sacks. The Griz defense also intercepted two passes. Brock Coyle led UM with 7 tackles, while fellow senior linebacker Jor-dan Tripp added 5 stops, as did sophomore linebacker Kendrick Van Ackeren. Safety Bo Tully had UM’s other interception.UM junior end Zack Wagenmnn had 1.5 sacks, giving him 15 in his career, which tied him with Randy Riley (15, 1993-96) for 13th on the all-time list.Junior QB Shay Smithwick-Hann had UM’s final score on a career-long 41-yard run -- his first career rushing TD, as the Griz took a 42-7 lead with 4:19 left. Griz halfback Travon Van had 11 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown.The Aggies started the second half with a 9-play, 70-yard scoring drive, as QB Randy Wright scored on a 9-yard run to cut UM’s lead to 21-7 at the 10:57 mark of the third quarter, but that would prove to be their only points in the game.The Griz answered UCD’s only score, as Canada tallied on a 1-yard run to give Montana a 21-point (28-7) lead again with 5:10 left in the third. UM added another TD on its next possession, as Canada, allud-ing several tacklers, scored on a 24-yard run to put UM ahead 35-7 with 14:48 remaining in the game.Montana scored in the closing minutes of the first half, as Henderson was on the receiving end of a 21-yard TD pass from Johnson, giving the Griz a 21-0 halftime lead. That late second-quarter scoring grab was set up by a key 3-yard scamper by Johnson on a 4th-and-3 moving the ball to the UCD 21-yard line, and then Johnson hooked up with Henderson on the next play for the touchdown.The Griz “D” held the Aggies to 88 total yards and three first downs, and picked off two passes in the opening half. UM’s offense gained 226 yards and had 15 first downs in the first two quarters.The Grizzlies got on the board first, when Johnson connected with Henderson for a 30-yard TD grab with 10:03 to go in the first, giving UM a 7-0 lead. Montana tacked on another score on its next possession, Van breaking free for an 18-yard touchdown run, giving his team a 14-0 advantage with 5:59 to go in the first stanza.

at MONTANA 21, CAL POLY 14 (OT)

MISSOULA, MT – The Grizzlies blocked a game-clinching field goal late in the contest and then put together a scoring drive in the last two minutes for an emotional overtime victory over the Mustangs. The Grizzlies’ last overtime game was a decade ago, a 43-40 double OT setback at home to Western Illinois in a first-round FCS playoff game.Things looked bleak for the Griz and the 25,913 mostly partisan fans in WGS, as Mustang place-kicker Bobby Zalud lined up to attempt a 26-yard field goal with 2:17 left to play. However, Griz LB Jordan Tripp got his hand on the ball, and his block gave UM possession on its own 12-yard line.After Tripp’s crucial blocked three-pointer the Grizzlies, led by junior quarterback Jordan Johnson, marched 88 yards on 15 plays in 2:05 to score the game-tying touchdown. The game-tying play came on a Johnson pass to senior tight end Clay Pierson on a 4th-and-goal from two yards out. Freshman kicker Ben Worst then kicked the PAT, and the game was dead-locked 14-14 with 12 seconds to go in regulation.Montana (6-1/3-1) got the ball first in OT, and on the second play John-son completed a pass to Ellis Henderson for a 23-yard touchdown and what proved to be the winning score.Cal Poly (3-4/2-1) quarterback Dano Graves’ long pass on the Mus-tangs’ third play in the overtime was picked off at the two by senior line-backer Brock Coyle, and the Griz had the victory.Montana jumped to an early 7-0 lead on a 5-yard run by Jordan Canada with 5:38 left in the first quarter. The TD was set up on a blocked punt by Herbert Gamboa, which was recovered by John Nguyen on Cal Poly’s 29-yard line. Nine plays later Canada scored from five yards out to give the Griz the early lead.The Mustangs tied the game at 7-7 on a 6-yard run by fullback Akaninyene Umoh with 1:59 left in the first quarter. Umoh also scored Cal Poly’s go-ahead (14-7) touchdown with 5:57 left until halftime on a 4-yard run.Neither team scored again after Umoh’s back-to-back touchdown runs until the Johnson-to-Pierson 2-yard scoring hook-up which tied the game. Montana’s offense wasted no time in the OT, scoring on its second play – the Johnson-to-Henderson 23-yard scoring strike.It was a tale of two halves for the Griz, who were out-matched 247 to 78 total yards in the opening 30 minutes and managed just five first downs, compared to Cal Poly’s 14. Montana’s defense, led by safety Matt Herman-son and senior linebackers J.P. Kanongata’a, Coyle, and Tripp, made key stops when it had to in the second half. Cal Poly was held to nine first downs and 156 total yards in the last two quarters.Hermanson had a game and career-high 18 tackles. Kanonagta’a had 16 tackles and a forced fumble, while Coyle had 12 stops, 2.0 TFLs, and the game-ending pick. Tripp had 12 stops, a fumble recovery, and the key blocked field goal. Tripp’s fumble recovery was the ninth of his career, tying him for the school record with linebacker Mike Rankin (1986-89).Johnson was 22-of-39-1 (9-of-14 in the game-tying drive) for 242 yards. He had thrown 155 passes in a row until getting picked off late in the second quarter. Canada had 23 carries for 56 yards and a TD. Cam Warren led the Griz with 6 catches for 47 yards, Canada had 5 for 38, Pierson had 4 for 25, and Jamaal Jones had 3 grabs for a game-high 96 yards. All four of Pierson’s receptions were on the game-tying drive, including his 2-yard TD grab.Cal Poly, which rushed 60 times for 308 yards in its triple option attack, was led by halfback Kristaan Ivory with 22 carries for 121 yards, while Graves had 14 rushes for 91 yards.

EWU 42, at MONTANA 37

MISSOULA, MT – The #10-ranked Griz hoped for another mir-acle comeback, but fell just short in a Big Sky Conference loss to the #3-ranked Eagles.(Last week the Grizzlies blocked a game-clinching field goal late in the game, and then put together a game-tying scoring drive in the last two minutes, followed by a TD on their second play in overtime for a 21-14 OT victory over Cal Poly.)Montana trailed EWU 42-17 with 16 seconds left in the third quarter after sophomore quarterback Vernon Adams threw his sixth touch-down pass of the contest, a 9-yarder to Mario Brown. Griz QB Jordan Johnson and wide receiver Ellis Henderson hooked up on back-to-back scoring passes covering 7 and 48 yards, and Montana cut its defi-cit to 42-31 with 7:36 left to play.After the Johnson-Henderson scoring pass had cut EWU’s lead to 11 points, Griz senior safety Bo Tully picked off Adams on the Eagles’ next possession, which gave Montana the ball on the Eagles’ 31-yard line. UM went three-and-out after the pick, though, and then missed a field goal, and EWU kept the lead. Montana scored its third touchdown of the fourth quarter on a 6-yard pass from Johnson to tight end Jordan Harper with 1:44 left in the game, but then Johnson’s rush on a two-point conversion attempt ended up just a few inches short, and the Griz trailed 42-37. After the Johnson-to-Harper touchdown, UM’s on-side kick was re-covered by EWU, and the Griz had no timeouts left, and the Eagles ran out the clock. EWU scored on six of its first 10 possessions, and the sixth TD was the Adams-to-Brown score, which gave EWU a 25-point (42-17) lead late in the third quarter.EWU then scored the only points in the third quarter, a 52-yard TD pass from Adams to Ashton Clark and the 9-yarder to Brown to take that commanding 42-17 lead, and which turned out to be the Eagles’ final points in the contest.Johnson was 26-of-44-0 for 349 yards and 4 touchdowns and also rushed 11 times for 47 yards. He was just shy of his career high in passing yards, which was 354 at North Dakota earlier this season.Henderson had a career-high 147 yards receiving and tied his ca-reer-best with 8 catches. He has 11 touchdown receptions so far this season.Sophomore wide receiver Jamaal Jones had a career-best 7 catch-es for 77 yards, while Cam Warren had 5 for 66, and Chase Naccarato added 4 for 48.UM junior halfback Jordan Canada rushed 12 times for 53 yards, and had a 28-yard touchdown run with 14:53 to go in the second quarter which gave the Griz their only lead (which was short-lived) of the game at 10-7.Senior linebacker Brock Coyle led the Grizzlies with a game-high (tie) 10 tackles, and also had 1.5 TFLs. Junior free safety Matt Her-manson and senior linebacker Jordan Tripp had 8 tackles each. Tully and sophomore cornerback Nate Harris each had picks for Montana.Adams, a Walter Payton Award candidate, was 27-of-40-2 for 457 yards and 6 touchdownsfreshman wide receiver Cooper Kupp had 11 receptions for 182 yards and touchdown grabs of 19 and 34 yards. Clark had 6 catches for 80 yards and 2 TDs. Senior LB Ronnie Hamlin led EWU with 10 tackles.

SACRAMENTO, CA – Quarterback Jordan Johnson connected with wide receiver Ellis Henderson for a 25-yard touchdown pass in over-time, and running back Jordan Canada tied a school record with four touchdown runs to lead the Grizzlies.The win also gave Montana its 27th winning season in the past 28 years. It was a back-and-forth contest which featured six ties, and the sixth deadlock came with 23 seconds to go on a 5-yard pass from the Hor-nets’ elusive quarterback Garrett Safron, to tight end Cole Hikutini, which knotted the score at 45-all.The Griz won the coin toss prior to the overtime, and elected to start on defense, and the “D” held the Hornets to a 25-yard field goal, giving Sac a 48-45 edge in the OT.Then it was time for the Johnson-to-Henderson game-winner, which came on the first play of overtime for the Grizzlies. Henderson faked a move inside, and then broke wide open to the right side of the end zone for the game-winner.It was the second time in the last three weeks the Griz played and won an overtime contest. The last OT was on Oct. 19, and in that one, Johnson hit Henderson for a 23-yard TD on the second play of the overtime, and Montana defeated Cal Poly 21-14. Montana improved to 9-3 in overtime games.Canada’s fourth scoring run, which tied him with four other players for the school record for the most touchdown runs in a game, was a 1-yarder on a 4th-and-goal, and gave Montana a 45-38 lead with 3:38 left to play. The Hornets put together a 10-play, 77-yard drive after Canada had given the Griz their second lead of the game, when Safron threw a 5-yard TD pass to Hikutini in the closing seconds of regulation, forcing the OT.The teams combined for 56 second-half points, the Griz out-scoring the Hornets 21-7 in the third quarter, and then the Hornets doing the same thing to UM in the final stanza with a 21-7 scoring run. Safron’s fourth scoring pass of the game tied the score up at 45-45 to force the overtime. The game was tied three times (3-3, 10-10, 17-17) in the first half. It was 17-all at intermission. Canada, who now has 12 TD runs this season, rushed 17 times for 78 yards. Johnson was 19-of-38-0 for a career-high 381 yards and 2 touchdowns.Sophomore wide receiver Jamaal Jones had 7 catches for a career-best 143 yards and had a 54-yard touchdown catch – the first TD grab of his career.

MONTANA 31, at SOUTH DAKOTA 27

VERMILLION, SD - Ellis Henderson scored on a 98-yard kickoff return with 1:36 remaining in the game to give the 10th-ranked Uni-versity of Montana Grizzlies an emotional, hard-fought 31-27 non-league victory over the Coyotes. With the win the Griz kept their FCS playoff hopes very much alive and improved to 8-2 overall. The Coyotes, who are coached by former UM mentor Joe Glenn, were much better than their 4-6 overall record indicates. Montana has won three of its last four games on dramatic, last-sec-ond touchdowns. The Griz won 51-48 in overtime at Sacramento State, while three weeks earlier they defeated visiting Cal Poly 21-14 in OT. USD had regained the lead at 27-24 with 1:48 to go on a 38-yard field goal by freshman kicker Miles Bergner. The first tie of the game came on a big play by Montana with 6:33 left to play, when USD freshman halfback Trevor Bouma was tackled by senior linebacker Jordan Tripp and the ball popped into the air and bounced into the arms of junior free safety Matt Hermanson who re-turned it 35 yards for a TD. Hermanson’s (from Sioux Falls, S.D.) huge take-away tied the game at 24-24. The teams combined for 41 first-half points, but the defenses domi-nated the third quarter, as neither teams could muster any points. Henderson had 4 catches for a career-high 188 yards and 2 TDs and 315 all-purpose yards. Griz tight end Clay Pierson added 4 grabs, while wide-outs Cam Warren and Jamaal Jones had 3 catches each. Henderson’s 98-yard kickoff return ties him for the second longest in UM history with former wide receiver Marc Mariani who had a 98-yarder against South Dakota State in 2009. Griz quarterback Jordan Johnson was 17-of-33-3 passing for 337 yards and 2 TDs, and he had thrown just one pick in UMs’ previous nine games.The Griz “D” once again made key plays late in the game, especially when they held the Coyotes to that late field goal considering USD had a first-and-10 on the Grizzlies’ 27-yard line in the final minutes of the game. That fourth quarter field goal by USD was its only points in the second half.Hermanson led UM with a game-high 11 tackles, and also forced a fumble. Tripp had 9 tackles; cornerback Josh Dennard had 8 stops; defensive tackle Alex Bienemann added 7. Montana took its first lead of the game on a 71-yard pass from John-son to Henderson with 13:26 left in the second quarter. But, USD quickly regained the lead on its next possession when QB Kevin Earl threw a 2-yard TD pass to Josh Vander Maten, making the score 21-14 Coyotes with 9:22 to go in the second quarter. USD then went ahead 24-17 on a 21-yard field goal by Bergner as time expired in the half. USD took an early (14:05 in the first quarter) 7-0 lead when free safety Aaron Swift picked off a Johnson pass and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown. UM cut the USD lead to 7-3 on a 46-yard field goal by Ben Worst, making the score 7-3 with 10:05 left in the opening quarter. USD took a 14-3 lead with 6:30 to go on a 38-yard run by Bouma with 6:30 remaining in the first stanza. The Griz came right back, though, as Johnson hit Henderson for a 6-yard TD pass with 4:34 left in the first quarter. The big play of UM’s score was set up by a 67-yard completion from Johnson to Henderson. Earl was 27-of-45-0 for 235 yards and a TD. Bouma rushed 25 times for 147 yards and a TD.

MONTANA 28, at MONTANA ST. 14

BOZEMAN, MT – The 5th-ranked Grizzlies played perhaps their best defensive game of the season and UM’s offense made key plays when it needed to, as the Grizzlies defeated the host and 13th-ranked Bobcats in a Big Sky Conference game in front of a record crowd (21,527) at Bobcat Stadium.The Grizzlies improved to 10-2 overall and 6-2 in league play and have won seven of their last eight games. MSU ended its season 7-5/5-3, and lost its last three games in a row.With MSU making a comeback bid, the Grizzlies got a much-needed insurance touchdown late in the contest, when junior half-back Jordan Canada scored for the second time in the afternoon on an 8-yard run. Canada’s score gave UM a 28-14 lead with 1:49 left in the game. UM took a 21-7 lead with 9:10 left to play on a 20-yard scoring pass from quarterback Jordan Johnson to tight end Clay Pierson. MSU came right back, though, when halfback Shawn Johnson cut the Griz lead to 21-14 with 6:02 remaining in the game. Johnson’s 1-yard touchdown run was just the fifth TD of the season allowed by the Griz in the fourth quarter. The Griz took the first possession of the third quarter and marched down the field, with running back Travon Van scoring on a 3-yard run to give UM its first lead at 14-7, with 11:15 to go in the third stanza. Van’s scoring run proved to be the only points in the third quarter. After stalling on offense for most of the first two quarters, the Grizzlies put together an impressive 15-play, 89-yard drive that took 6:36 and culminated it with a 7-yards touchdown run by Canada, tying the score 7-7 with 1:10 left until halftime. The score was dead-locked at 7-all at intermission. The Griz defense held MSU to 277 total yards and 15 first downs, and sacked Cat senior quarterback DeNarius McGhee four times. Canada rushed 19 times for 80 yards, and had two rushing TDs, which gave him 16 on the season. Van, who returned to action af-ter missing the past few weeks with an injury, had 13 carries for 23 yards. Johnson was 23-of-35-0 for 250 yards and a TD. UM sophomore wide receiver Jamaal Jones had game-highs of 7 catches for 120 yards and had several key first down grabs. The Grizzlies picked up 365 yards of offense - 257 of those com-ing in the second half. Griz senior linebacker Brock Coyle, a Bozeman native, had a game-leading 14 tackles, along with two stops for loss, a couple of forced fumbles, and a sack. Jordan Tripp added 7 tackles, and fel-low senior linebacker John Kanongata’a added 4 tackles, a TFL, and recovered a fumble. UM sophomore defensive end Tyrone Holmes had 5 tackles, in-cluding 1.5 sacks, while junior free safety Matt Hermanson added 5 stops. McGhee was 17-of-33-0 for 160 yards, and rushed 18 times for 57 yards. Neither team could muster much offense in the first quarter, but the Cats got on the board on an 82-yard punt return by Johnson, to take a 7-0 lead with 3:31 to go in the opening stanza.

COASTAL CAROLINA 42, at MONTANA 35MISSOULA, MT - Sophomore quarterback Alex Ross passed for three TDs and rushed for 123 yards to lead the 11th-ranked Chanticleers to the win over the 4th-ranked Grizzlies.Coastal Carolina (12-2), the regular-season winner of the Big South Conference, took a three-touchdown (42-21) lead with 9:33 left in the third quarter on a 51-yard scoring run by senior halfback Lorenzo Talia-ferro. The comeback-minded Grizzlies started chipping away, and cut the Chanticleers’ lead to 42-28 on a 9-yard scoring pass from junior quarter-back Jordan Johnson to junior wide receiver Mitch Saylor with 8:43 left in the game.Montana had a chance to cut into Coastal’s lead even more when senior linebacker Brock Coyle sacked Ross and forced a fumble and recovered the ball, and the Griz took over on CCU’s 29-yard line. Ross’s fumble was CCU’s only turnover in the game. However, UM’s drive sputtered, and it ended with an interception by CC junior linebacker Quinn Backus. It was only Johnson’s fifth interception of the season.The Griz finally got the big play that they needed late in the contest when Johnson hit sophomore wide receiver Jamaal Jones for a 72-yard TD pass, reducing the CC lead to 42-35 with 5:03 left.However, CC retained the ball for the final 5:01 of the game and picked up a couple of critical first downs along the way.The Grizzlies had an impressive opening series, as the “D” held CC to a three-and-out, and then drove 84 yards on six plays, as junior halfback Travon Van scored on a 1-yard run, giving UM a 7-0 lead with 11:18 left in the first stanza. The Chanticleers wasted no time, though, as Ross connected with se-nior wide receiver Demario Bennett for a CCU-record 86-yard scoring pass to tie the game at 7-7 with 9:51 left in the first stanza.The Griz got the lead back on their next series, as Johnson hit wide re-ceiver Chase Naccarato for a 15-yard TD pass, which gave Montana a 14-7 edge with 5:16 left in the first quarter. It would prove to be Montana’s final lead of the game.The Chanticleers scored on their next possession on a 5-yard run by Taliaferro with 1:52 left in an offense-filled first stanza to tie the game up at 14-14. After the second and final tie of the contest, CCU broke loose for three unanswered touchdowns. When redshirt freshman halfback De’Angelo Henderson scored on a 9-yard run he gave CC a 35-14 lead with 31 sec-onds left until halftime. The game was played in bitter cold day at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, as it was -5 degrees at kickoff, although 17,345 mostly Griz Faithful fans braved the frigid weather for the entire game.Johnson was 24-of-48-1 for a career-high 388 yards and 4 touchdowns. Junior running back Jordan Canada had 17 carries for 104 yards – his sixth 100-yard rushing game of the season.Sophomore wide receiver Ellis Henderson led the Griz with a game-high 6 catches for 119 yards.

BIG SKY CONFERENCE

The Big Sky Conference celebrated 50 years of men’s athletics and 25 years of women’s competi-tion during the 2013-14 academic year.

The venerable and stable Division I Big Sky Conference observed its 50th birthday on July 1, 2013. To mark the historic occasion, the league honored its past by commemorating its top male and female athletes, as well as the top moments and teams.

Four of the current league members – Idaho State University, The University of Montana, Montana State and Weber State – have been with the league since its birth. Fellow charter member the University of Idaho brings the majority of its sports back to the Big Sky on July 1, 2014. North-ern Arizona University enters its 45th season in the league, giving the league five members with at least 40 years of continuous membership.

The Big Sky Conference welcomed North Da-kota and Southern Utah on July 1, 2013 as full members. UC Davis and Cal Poly joined as foot-ball affiliate members. Eastern Washington Uni-versity, the University of Northern Colorado, Portland State University and Sacramento State round out the current membership.

The league has become one of the strongest Di-vision I conferences in the West and is a national leader in the Football Championship Subdivi-sion. Six times, Big Sky teams have won the Division I National Championship, including Eastern Washington in 2010. A Big Sky team has played for the national championship in three of the past five seasons. The Big Sky is one of three conferences in the western United States playing Division I football.

The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members – Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Ari-zona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was re-placed by Nevada, which gave the league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987 with the addition of Eastern Washing-ton.

The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada depart-ed and put the Big Sky back at eight teams. In 1996 Boise State and Idaho left, and at the same time the conference added Portland State, Sac-ramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years before Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001.

The Big Sky now includes nine states spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Red River Val-ley of North Dakota. The league is represented along the entire west coast with institutions in Washington, Oregon and California. League schools also range up and down the Rocky Mountains with institutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Colorado. It is “The Heart of the American West.”

On Feb 25, 1963, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the charter members as the name of the new conference. The name Big Sky originated in a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., in 1947 entitled “The Big Sky.” Jack Hollowell, a former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State. While on a track and field trip from Pocatello, Idaho, to Missoula, Mont., legendary Dubby Holt of Ida-ho State saw a “Welcome to Big Sky Country” sign as his team entered Montana. Holt, and his athletes thought “Big Sky” would be a perfect name for the new conference. Harry Missildine of the Spokane Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963.

The Big Sky sponsors championships in 15 sports, including men’s and women’s cross coun-try, indoor and outdoor track and field, basket-ball and tennis. In addition, there are also cham-pionships in football, and women’s volleyball, golf and soccer. The Big Sky sponsored softball for the first time in 2013. Men’s golf will return as a conference sport in 2014-15.

In 1988-89, the Big Sky Conference first began sponsoring women’s sports. The former Moun-tain West Conference existed from 1982-88, sponsoring championships for women’s sports

at the same institutions the Big Sky had men’s programs. The Big Sky merged with the Moun-tain West in 1988, forming one league for both men and women.

Doug Fullerton, the fifth commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, is in his 20th year at the helm. Fullerton took over the Big Sky on July 1, 1995, replacing longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson, who passed away in 2011. Stephen-son served the league for 14 years. Steve Belko was the commissioner from 1977-81, while John Roning held the post from 1971-77. The first league commissioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

Editor’s note: The Redbook is The University of Montana Athletic Department’s handwritten his-tory by George “Jiggs” Dahlberg dating from 1897 through the 1980 season. (All photos from Sports Information archives)

Fred smith1897

“Two years after The University of Montana opened its doors to stu-dents, the first football team was organized. Professor Fred D. Smith,

chemistry professor and former football player at Cornell University, volunteered to coach the football team. Twenty-four men turned out. No uniforms were available so many of the players used makeshift clothing.”-- The Redbook

F.B. seabright1898

“Sgt. B.F. Seabright, a graduate and former player at Stanford, was a coach in 1898. He was engaged by the university as instruc-tor in general athletics.

Students raised an initial $110 to help pay the coach’s salary. Charles Allard kicked the first field goal in the state of Montana at the Thanksgiving game vs. the Montana State College Aggies in Mis-soula. Montana won 16-0.” -- The Redbook

guy Cleveland1899

“Prospects for a first class team were not very bright at the start of the 1899 season when Guy Cleveland took over the team. Scarce any of the old players were back and positions had to be filled with untried material.” “In the first game against the Anaconda Ath-letic Club, Coach Cleveland played right half-back. He made the two touchdowns and kicked goal both times to win for the varsity.” --The Redbook

Frank Bean1900-1901

“Frank Bean from the University of Wisconsin was selected as coach. A game with Anaconda failed to materialize, therefore, the only game scheduled

in 1900 was with Montana State College.” -- The Redbook “The unsuccessful season was due to the lack of experienced players. We had no experienced quarterback.” --Kaimin, student paper

Dewitt Peck1902

This season saw the organization of the Northwest Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Nine Northwest colleges were represented at a meeting which was held in Spokane.

h.B. Conibear1903-1904

“Hiram Conibear coached at Illinois University before coming to UM. The 1903 team was the first university football team to be sent out of the state to

compete in an athletic contest. Coach Conibear will be remembered by Uni-versity of Montana fans for at least one contribu-tion, his 1904 team ran up the biggest score in foot-ball history against Montana State College, 79-0.” -- The Redbook

F.W. schule1905-1906

A writeup of the 1906 season by Coach Schule in the yearbook says, “as interesting and as spec-tacular a game of football as the writer has seen in

the far west was played on the Montana field on October 19th. Our men succeeded in holding Washington State’s undefeated team to the clos-est score made against them this season.”--Montana Sentinel

WE ARE MONTANACoaching History Bernard oakes

1931-1934 “Bernard F. “Bunny” Oakes, who had been line coach at the University of Nebraska for the past five years, became Major Mil-burn’s successor as head

coach of football for the 1931 season. Robert Stansberry and Henry Blastic made honorable mention All Americans. Bernard Oakes left after the 1934 season to coach football at the University of Colorado.” -- The Redbook

Doug Fessenden1935-1941

“Douglas Fessenden, Fenger High School coach in Chicago, was selected as head football coach at the university in April of 1935. “Man of the Year” was

the honor accorded Douglas Fessenden by the Kaimin in 1935 for the distinguished work done by him in raising Montana to a prominent place in Pacific Coast Conference football. Fessenden proved himself to be an able mentor and won the respect and admiration of the entire school. The 1937 season was the most successful football season since 1914. Montana won six consecutive games in 1937 which is the first time in history Montana won as many games. The highlight of the 1939 season was the 13-0 win over the University of Idaho, smashing the Idaho jinx and giving Montana possession of the Little Brown Stein for the first time. The 1941 football season was a successful year as well, UM going 6-3. 1946-1948 (14-15) Douglas Fessenden returned from the Army Air Corp in time to take over his duties as head football coach. Montana enjoyed a successful 1947 season winning 7 games and losing 4 and defeated Washington State College and the University of Idaho on their home grounds. Fessenden resigned in 1948 and the follow-ing year received his doctors degree in Physical Education from Columbia University. Fessen-den had the best win and loss record in football of any university football coach up until that time.” -- The Redbook

Jerry nissen1915-1917

Montana’s football field was moved and named “Dornblaser Field” in honor of Paul Dornblaser, the great Grizzly tackle, who was killed in action in World War I. Finally, the Grizzlies ran up their biggest score in history, a 133-0 pasting of Mount St. Charles (Carroll College).” -- The Redbook

ted shipkey1949-1951

“Ted Shipkey began his coaching stint at the University of Montana in 1949. The passing combina-tion of Ray Bauer (end) and

Tom Kingsford (quarterback) in 1950 was one of the best in University history. Montana with-drew from the Pacific Coast Conference and joined the Mountain States Conference which is also know as the “Skyline” Conference. Ted Shipkey resigned as football coach in 1951.” -- The Redbook

ed Chinske1952-1954

“Edward Chinske became the next UM head football coach in 1952. Richard (Dick) Imer was selected for All-Amer-ican honors in 1953. Imer

and Joe DeLuca were chosen to several All-American teams in 1954.” -- Redbook

Jerry Williams1955-1957

“UM’s fund-raising arm, the Century Club, got its start in 1955, the same year as Head Coach Jerry Wil-liams arrived. Aside from the fact

that Stanley Renning was considered one of the greatest sophomores to ever appear in a Grizzly uniform, the 1956 campaign was a dismal one. Coach Jerry Williams, who had played pro-fessional football with the Philadelphia Eagles, left UM to be an assistant coach for the Eagles.” -- The Redbook

Ray Jenkins1958-1963

“Ray Jenkins’ first year as football coach was a poor debut with an 0-10 record, the worst in Montana his-tory. The Grizzlies came up

with their best passing attack in 10 season dur-ing 1959, a campaign that also marked the end of a 15-game losing streak when the Grizzlies scored a 12-0 upset over Brigham Young. Terry Dillon was selected and played in the East-West Shrine game January 1963. The 1963 football season was unsuccessful - winning one game and losing nine. Ray Jenkins resigned at the close of the 1963 football season.” -- The Redbook

Coaching Historyhugh Davidson

Jack swarthout1967-1975

“Since assuming the duties of both head football coach and AD at UM in 1967, Jack Swarthout put a drive into the school’s ath-letic program which had

not been seen in Missoula for several years. Montana won the Big Sky Conference cham-pionship in 1969 for the first time since confer-ence football began in 1963. Coach Swarthout and his staff received con-siderable praise for the excellent job of coaching Montana to its second consecutive undefeated regular season play in 1970. The team played in the Camillia Bowl, losing to UND 31-16. There were several Grizzlies selected to various All-American teams in 1971. Swarthout resigned as football coach at the close of the 1975 season. He chose to return to high school teaching and coaching at Capital High, Olympia, Wash. Swarthout left UM as the winningest football coach in the University’s history with a nine-year record of 51 wins, 41 losses and one tie. He won two consecutive Big Sky football championships (1969 and 1970).” -- The Redbook

gene Carlson1976-1979

“The 1976 football sea-son opened with Eugene Carlson as the new head football coach. Carlson in-herited the coaching staff of the preceding adminis-

tration (Jack Swarthout), as well as the offensive system (Wishbone or Texas Y). However, Gene made some changes in the offense formation.” Carlson was an alumnus of UM and was a very successful high school coach in Great Falls prior to coming to the University of Montana. A greater success was expected by those in power so Carlson resigned at the close of the 1979 sea-son. ”-- The Redbook

larry Donovan1980-1985

Larry Donovan was selected to replace Gene Carlson. Donovan was a graduate of the University of Nebraska and came to Mon-tana from the University of

Kansas where he had been an assistant coach. The 1981 season was positive, as Coach Don-ovan was rebuilding the football program, and 1982 saw the Grizzlies in a first-round playoff game at Idaho along with winning the Big Sky Conference title. However, the next three sea-sons had more L’s then W’s, and after the 1985 season, Donovan and most of his coaching staff did not have their contracts renewed for the 1986 season.

Don Read1986-1995

Don Read is Montana’s all-time winningest coach. He came to Montana from Portland State in 1986. Read never had a los-ing season as head mentor

He was also se-lected the Division I-AA Coach of the Year in 1995 and coached Dave Dickenson, the 1995 Walter Payton Award winner. During his tenure, the Griz had an overall re-cord of 85-36, and his 85 overall wins at UM and 54 Big Sky victories rank him second in confer-ence history.

Joe glenn2000-2002

Joe Glenn came to Montana after a very long, successful 11-year career at Northern Colorado where the Bears won back-to-back NCAA Division II na-

tional football championships in 1996 and 1997. In Joe’s first year as head coach at Montana, he won the Eddie Robinson Award, given annu-ally to the I-AA (FCS) coach of the year. He was also the Big Sky Conference’s coach of the year. That year he took the 13-1 Griz to the Division I-AA national championship game, where the Griz lost to Georgia Southern, 27-25. Glenn repeated the trip to the title game in 2001, this time winning the championship, beat-ing Furman 13-6. The Griz were once again con-ference champs for the second year in a row. The Griz were co-conference champs in 2002. Glenn was hired as Wyoming’s 30th head football coach Dec. 12, 2002 and is now the head coach at South Dakota.

On July 26, 2013, the NCAA Committee on Infractions (COI) issued its findings regarding a NCAA investigation into the UM football program that began in February 2012. In its findings, the COI found that The University of Montana and a former head football coach failed to monitor its football program. Specifically, violations occurred as a result of the following: (A) boosters providing extra benefits to stu-dent-athletes, some of which resulted in two student-athletes competing while ineligible, (B) during one season, an undergraduate student assistant participated in coaching activities resulting in the football program exceeding the permissible limit of football coaches and (C) the institution and football coach failed to monitor these activities. As a result of the findings, UM is subject to the following penalties: (1) public reprimand and censure, (2) three years of probation from July 26, 2013, through July 25, 2016, (3) a limit of 59 football equivalency scholarships during the 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 academic years, (4) with regard to the 2011 football season and games in which the student-athletes competed while ineligible, the vacation of wins and participation in the FCS Championship Playoffs, as well as vacation of the individual statistics for the involved student-athletes, (5) forfeiture of $3,000 which will be donated to local charities, (6) reduction of undergraduate student assistant positions by two during the 2013-14 academic year and (7) external review of the compliance program. During the three-year probationary period, the institution will submit annual progress reports to the COI regarding compliance with all penalties and self-corrective actions.

2013: Montana Wins 10 games en route to 21st berth in playoffs

Montana won seven of its last eight regular-season games and earned an at-large berth into the Football Championship Subdivision play-offs, its 21st in school history. The host Griz lost 42-37 to 11th-ranked Coastal Carolina in the second round. The 10-3 Grizzlies were led by three senior linebackers, who all ended their careers ranked among UM’s all-time leaders in career tackles. That dynamic trio consisted of Jordan Tripp (fourth, 335 total tackles), Brock Coyle (12th, 293 TT), and J.P. Kanongata’a (17th, 269 TT). Junior end Zack Wagenmann had a team-high 16.5 tackles for loss and was a first team All-Big Sky Conference pick for the second sea-son in a row. UM also had stellar seasons on offense by running back Jordan Canada, wide receiver/re-turner Ellis Henderson, and quarterback Jordan Johnson. Canada rushed for 1,062 yards and 16 touchdowns; Henderson racked up 1,008 receiv-ing yards and 145 TDs; and Johnson passed for 3,387 yards and 32 touchdowns.

2012: Griz Miss Playoffs for the Second Time in the Past

20 seasons For the just the second time in the past 20

seasons the Grizzlies did not advance to the FCS playoffs. Montana finished 5-6 overall and had its first losing season in 27 years (since going 3-8 in 1985). It was also the first time in 20 seasons that the Griz have not finished first or second in the Big Sky Conference. In October of 2012 Montana dropped out of The Sports Network’s FCS Top 25 poll for the first time since 1998. That ended a run of 195 straight appearances, dating back to the Nov. 2, 1998 poll.

2011: Montana advances to FCS semis for the 20th time

The Grizzlies returned to the playoffs after a one year hiatus, advancing to the FCS semifinal, and suffered a 31-28 loss to host, top-ranked, and undefeated (14-0) Sam Houston State. It was Montana’s 18th playoff berth in the past 19 seasons and 20th overall. UM has won (or shared) 13 of the past 15 Big Sky Conference championships. Montana out-scored the Kats 14-3 in the second half and advanced the ball to the SHSU 49-yard line on its final drive, but was forced to punt, and Flanders rushed eight times for 63 yards, including a 22-yarder on a fourth down, to ice the victory. The Griz defense held SHSU to two total first downs in the second half prior to the Bearkats’ final drive. Halfback Tim Flanders led SHSU, rushing for 287 yards on 26 carries, and led a

potent ground attack that amassed 383 yards. Senior linebacker Caleb McSurdy led a de-fense that featured nine senior starters, and he was named the Big Sky Conference’s MVP on defense. Record-setting senior kicker/punter Brody McKnight booted a league-record 210 PATs. Jabin Sambrano, also a senior, became just the second player in school history (the other one was “Will Bill” Kelly in 1926) to score a touch-down rushing, receiving, and via punt and kick-off returns in a season. Second-year head coach Robin Pflugrad was named the Big Sky’s “Coach of the Year,” as the Griz went 11-3 overall and placed first in the league with a 7-1 mark. NOTE: Montana would later vacated five wins, Big Sky title, and its par-ticipation in FCS playoff games due to NCAA violations, finishing with an “official record” of 6-2.

2010: Playoff Run Halted/Reynolds Ends His Brilliant Career

It had to end some time, and unfortunately the first time in 18 seasons that Montana did not advance to the playoff was the final season of the illustrious career of halfback Chase Reynolds. Reynolds ended his record-breaking career by setting school records for total touchdowns (59) and rushing touchdowns (52), and was ended up only four yards short of the record for career rushing yards with 4,067, and he set all of those standards in just three seasons.

Montana won seven of its last eight regular-season games in 2013 and earned an at-large berth into the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs, its 21st in school history.

WE ARE MONTANAMONTANA YEAR-BY-YEAR IN POST-SEASON PLAY

The Griz suffered a huge setback early in the year, when senior quarterback Andrew Selle suf-fered a career-ending injury in the fourth game of the season against Sacramento State.

2009: Another Trip To The FCS Championship Game

Montana played in the FCS championship game for the second year in a row and seventh time in the last 15 seasons, but second-ranked Villanova rushed 51 times for 351 yards in a 23-21 Griz loss. It was the top-ranked Grizzlies’ only loss (14-1) of the season. UM’s road to the title game was a difficult one. The Griz trailed 11th-ranked South Da-kota State by 27 points (48-21) with 5:40 left in the third quarter, but out-scored SDSU 40-0 on their way to a 61-48 victory. A week later UM forced 10 turnovers and crushed 12th-ranked, visiting Stephen F. Austin 51-0 in a quarterfinal contest. Montana’s semifinal against fifth-ranked Appalachian State and quarterback Armani Edwards was a classic. The game was played in front of a national audience on ESPN and came down to the last play. Selle floated a 25-yard TD pass to Sambrano with 1:31 left to give the Griz a 24-17 lead. However, Edwards drove ASU to Montana’s 3-yard line, but his last-second TD pass was broken up, and the Grizzlies earned their seventh trip to the title game. Mariani broke numerous receiving and re-turn records, and Reynolds tied his own sin-gle-season record by rushing for 22 TDs. Selle passed for 28 TDs. Linebacker Shawn Lebsock and safety Shann Schillinger ended their careers as two of the leading tacklers in school his-tory. Head coach Bobby Hauck, who left UM for UNLV following the 2009 season, advanced to the FCS playoffs all seven of his seasons as the head man, and won or shared seven league championships.

2008: Montana Plays For Its Sixth National Title

Despite losing 14 starters, Montana made it to the FCS title game for the sixth time, losing 24-7 to Richmond in Chattanooga. In the first round Montana handled Texas State 31-13. In the quarterfinals the Grizzlies avenged an early-season league loss (45-28) at Weber State, de-feating the 10th-ranked Wildcats 24-13. In the FCS semi-final game Montana had its biggest playoff road win ever, beating top-ranked James Madison 35-27. Senior quarterback Cole Bergquist passed for 3,156 yards and 28 touchdowns, and wide-out Mike Ferriter finished his career ranked ninth in school history with 2,089 receiving yards. Reynolds rushed for a (then) school-

record 22 touchdowns. The defense was led by strong safety Colt Anderson, a Buck Buchanan Award finalist, who was Montana’s leading tack-ler with 129 stops. 2007: 15th FCS Playoff Appearance In a Row The Griz made their 15th playoff appearance and their 18th overall, which moved them past Eastern Kentucky for the most in division his-tory. Montana suffered a rare home loss in the playoffs, though, a 23-22 setback to Wofford. Senior defensive end Kroy Biermann be-came Montana’s first ever Buck Buchanan Award winner. Senior halfback Lex Hilliard set a record with 50 career rushing touchdowns, which Reynolds would break three seasons later. Kicker Dan Carpenter set FCS career re-cords with 75 field goals and points scored by a kicker with 413. Senior linebackers Tyler Joyce and Kyle Ryan finished second and sixth in UM history with 352 and 304 career tackles, respec-tively.

2006: A Trip To The Semis Montana just missed playing for its sixth na-tional title in the past 12 years. Host Montana defeated 22nd-ranked McNeese State 31-6 in an FCS first-round game, then knocked off visit-ing and No.10-ranked Southern Illinois 20-3 in the quarterfinals, but were edged (19-17) out to third-ranked and visiting UMass in the semi-final game which was televised nationally on ESPN2. Hauck became the first Griz mentor in history to win four Big Sky titles. After losing at 16th-ranked Iowa in its open-er, Montana won 11 straight games and finished

12-2 overall and 8-0 in the Big Sky. Hilliard, a 2006 Walter Payton Award candidate, was lost for the season due to an injury in fall camp. Senior quarterback Josh Swogger threw 17 TD passes, while senior receivers Eric Allen, Ryan Bagley, and Craig Chambers combined for 147 catches and 17 scores. Halfbacks Reggie Brad-shaw, Brady Green, and Thomas Brooks-Fletch-er combined for 19 rushing touchdowns. UM’s young defense was ranked ninth in the FCS in total defense, allowing 226.4 yards a game.

2005: Griz Lose in First Round Montana was 8-4 overall and received an at-large bid into the playoffs. UM was led by Hill-iard who rushed for 1,322 yards – the second highest total (at the time) in single-season histo-ry. The ninth-ranked Griz hosted a first-round home playoff game, losing 35-21 to 10th-ranked Cal Poly. Montana had defeated Cal Poly 36-27 in Missoula earlier in the season.

2004: Fifth Trip to the FCS Title Game in the Last 10 Seasons

Montana was 12-3 and advanced to the FCS championship game for the fifth time in the last 11 years. Senior quarterback Craig Ochs passed for 3,807 yards and 33 touchdowns and set a league record by completing 68.7% of his passes. Hilliard tied the school record for touchdown runs with 17, while senior wide receiver Jeffer-son Heidelberger had the second most receiving yards in single-season history with 1,240.

The Griz trailed 11th-ranked South Dakota State by 27 points (48-21) with 5:40 left in the third quarter, but out-scored SDSU 40-0 on their way to a 61-48 victory in the 2009 FCS playoffs. (Marc Mariani pictured.)

WE ARE MONTANAMONTANA YEAR-BY-YEAR IN POST-SEASON PLAY

In the playoffs the host Griz handled their first three opponents at home relatively easy, beating Northwestern State (56-7), New Hamp-shire (47-17), and Sam Houston State (34-13). The title game was a 31-21 loss to James Madi-son. Sadly, the championship game was played on a field that was a quagmire, as the grass play-ing surface had recently been re-sodded.

2003: Break Playoff Record With 11th in a row

Montana broke the FCS record by making its 11th consecutive playoff appearance, eclips-ing the mark of 10 that it had shared with East-ern Kentucky (10, from 1986-1995). The Griz received an at-large bid into the playoffs, losing a 43-40 double-overtime thriller to visiting West-ern Illinois in the first round. Senior kicker Chris Snyder set four NCAA career FCS records, scoring 394 points and con-verting 182 PATs. He also set a single-season school marks by scoring 123 points and con-necting on 126 consecutive PATs. Senior defen-sive end Tim Bush finished his career as Mon-tana’s all-time career leader in sacks (32.5) and tackles for loss (48.5).

2002: Tie FCS Mark forConsecutive Wins

The Griz started the season with 10 wins in a row, and, combined with 14 straight wins the year before, tied the FCS mark for consecutive wins with 24. The streak began on September 22 of 2001, with a 30-0 home win over Western

Washington, and was halted on Nov. 16 of 2002, with a 30-21 setback at Eastern Washington in a game played in Spokane’s Joe Albi Stadium. Montana tied Pennsylvania, which had 24 wins in a row from 1992-95, for the longest win-ning skein in the division. The Griz also set the record for most consecutive Big Sky wins (25) and most league victories on the road with 13 in a row. Senior quarterback John Edwards was named the Big Sky’s co-MVP on offense and se-nior safety Trey Young was tabbed as the league’s defensive player of the year. Montana defeated Northwestern State 45-14 at home in a first-round playoff game, but lost 24-20 at McNeese State in a quarterfinal contest.

2001: Second National Championship

Montana won its second national champion-ship by defeating Furman 13-6 en route to a 15-1 record. Edwards engineered a 16-play, 99-yard scoring drive for UM’s only touchdown in the game. Halfback Yohance Humphery, Montana’s all-time career rushing leader, gained 142 yards on 30 carries in the game and UM’s only touch-down on a 2-yard run, which culminated its 99-yard scoring drive. The Griz defense limited the Paladins to 121 yards rushing and forced three turnovers. Furman’s only score came on a Hail Mary pass as time expired. Humphery wrapped up his illustrious career with 4,070 ca-reer rushing yards. The Grizzlies’ 15 victories set a school record (which still stands as of 2013) for the most wins in a season.

2000: Third Trip to the Title Game The Griz earned a trip to the championship game for the third time in six seasons, losing a heart-breaker, 27-25 to Georgia Southern in Chattanooga. Starting senior Griz quarterback Drew Miller was injured late in the first quarter, and Edwards, a sophomore, was called into ac-tion. The Griz trailed 20-3 at halftime in rain-soaked Finley Stadium, but took a 23-20 lead early in the fourth quarter on a scoring run by Humphery. The lead was short-lived though, as Eagle halfback and 2000 Walter Payton Award winner Adrian Peterson broke loose for a 57-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter for the game-winning touchdown.

1999-97: Griz Lose Three Straight First-Round Games

Montana dropped three first-round playoff games during this time, but in the 1999 season it set the Big Sky record with its seventh straight FCS playoff appearance, breaking the old stan-dard of six that had been set by former Big Sky member Idaho from 1985-90. In 1999, visiting Youngstown State, coached by Jim Tressel, kicked a late field goal for a 30-27 win. In 1998 Montana suffered its worst playoff setback ever — a 52-9 drubbing at Western Illi-nois. Montana’s three-game playoff losing streak in the first round started in 1997 with a 19-14 setback at McNeese State.

1996: Moss Too Much In Quest For Second Title In A Row

Montana reeled off 14 straight wins to ad-vance to the title game, and for the second year in a row they played at Marshall. Future NFL standout Randy Moss led Marshall with four touchdown catches in a 49-29 win. It was the first time ever that two undefeated (14-0) teams had squared off for the title. In the championship game, Griz sophomore quarter-back Brian Ah Yat set (then) playoff records for pass completions with 36 and total plays (67). Senior wide receiver Joe Douglass set a playoff record with 13 receptions, and he also set Mon-tana single-season standards with 82 catches for 18 touchdowns (both still school records), and had 1,469 receiving yards, in UM’s 11 regular-season games.

1995: First National Championship The Grizzlies won their first national cham-pionship with a last-second, 22-20 come-from-behind victory over host Marshall in front of an FCS playoff-record crowd of 32,106 (which still stands) in Huntington, West Virginia.

Montana won its second national championship by defeating Furman 13-6 en route to a 15-1 record. Head Coach Joe Glenn is interviewed at the post-game press conference.

WE ARE MONTANAMONTANA YEAR-BY-YEAR IN POST-SEASON PLAY

Walter Payton Award-winning quarterback Dave Dickenson passed for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns in Montana’s first three playoff games, when UM out-scored its opponents 163-14. In their first three playoff victories, the host Grizzlies beat Eastern Kentucky (48-0), Georgia Southern (45-0), and Stephen F. Austin (70-14). In the title game, Dickenson orchestrated a 12-play, 72-yard scoring drive, culminating with a 25-yard field goal by Andy Larson with 39 seconds left for the game-winner. The big play in the winning drive took place on a fourth-and-three from the 50-yard line, as Dicken-son connected with senior wide receiver Mike Erhardt for a 20-yard gain and a crucial first down. Senior wide receiver Matt Wells scored both of Montana’s touchdowns (24, 1). Montana set playoff records (at the time) with 125 first downs, 137 pass completions, 197 pass attempts, and 1,703 passing yards.

1993-1994: A Program On the Rise The host Griz squeaked by Northern Iowa 23-20 in a 1994 first-round contest, and then edged visiting McNeese State 30-28 in a snow storm on a 37-yard field goal by Larson with eight seconds left to play. Unfortunately, Dick-enson was re-injured early in the McNeese win, and he was not able to play in the semifinal – a 28-9 loss to host (and eventual national champi-on) Youngstown State, which was also coached by Tressel. In 1993, Montana rolled to a 10-1 regular-season record, with its only blemish a 35-30 loss at Oregon. After the loss to the Ducks, the Griz reeled off nine straight wins and won their first league title since 1982. The season ended in a 49-48 first-round shoot-out loss to visiting Delaware, as the Blue Hens scored with 55 seconds left to play. The Grizzlies’ 93 victo-ries in the1990’s were the second most in I-AA (Youngstown State won 103).

The Grizzlies won their first national championship over host Marshall in Huntington, West Vir-ginia, in 1995. (Head Coach Don Read with championship trophy.)

1989: Griz Host Playoff Games For First Time

Montana hosted and won its first playoff game in school history, beating Jackson State 48-7 in the first round. The Grizzlies defeated visiting Eastern Illinois 25-15 in the quarterfinals, and then lost 45-15 to eventual national champion Georgia Southern in Statesboro in the semis.

First Two Playoff Berths: 1988 & 1982

After a six-year hiatus, in 1988, the Griz earned their first at-large bid into the playoffs, losing on the road 38-19 to fellow Big Sky mem-ber Idaho. Montana’s initial trip to the play-offs was in 1982, when it won its first Big Sky title since the 1970 season. Despite winning the league championship the Grizzlies had to travel to Moscow, Idaho, losing 21-7 to the Vandals.

1969-1970: Montana Plays For A Pair of College Division Titles

Montana played for the College Division na-tional championship in 1969 and 1970. The Griz went undefeated and untied for the first time in school history at 10-0 and won their first-ever Big Sky title in 1969. Both years Montana ad-vanced to the Camellia Bowl in Sacramento, Calif., but, missing many starters because of NCAA’s rules on junior college transfers, the un-der-manned Griz lost 30-3 to top-ranked North Dakota State in 1969 and 31-16 to the same team a year later.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

IntercollegIate athletIcs new academIc center/adams center With support from the university administration and private donors, the athletic facility improvement plan includes the following: • Construct an academic center, meeting rooms and additional offices in the open space between the current athletic complex and the student recreation center (see artist rendition above). Lower level will remain a lobby to accommodate fire code restrictions and the Adams Center. • Relocate the current weight room to a site to be finalized. The new strength and conditioning center would feature approximately 10,000 square feet of training space to serve all student-athletes. The Academic Center will open in the fall of 2015. The Adams Center is home to the Grizzly athletic department, its coaching and athletic staff. The Center houses Dahlberg Arena, home of the Griz and Lady Griz basketball teams; the West Auxiliary Gym, home to Griz volleyball; and the East Auxiliary Gym (EAG), practice facilities for indoor track and field and tennis.
