UNIVERSITY OF MONTANAGRIZZLY FOOTBALLNATIONAL CHAMPIONS 1995, 2001

TOP-5 SHOWDOWN ON TAP AS #4 GRIZ HOST #3 WILDCATS In the more than three decades of football played inside Washington-Grizzly Stadium, you’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger conference game with bigger implications than this. On Saturday the No. 4/5 Montana Grizzlies (8-2, 5-1 BSC) put their undefeated home record on the line in a top-5 showdown with the No. 3 Weber State Wildcats (8-2, 6-0 BSC), who come to Missoula for the first time since 2015. The game marks the highest-ranked FCS opponent the Griz have faced since defeating No. 3 Northern Iowa on the road in 2016 then falling to No. 3 Eastern Washington on the road the same year. It’s also the highest-ranked opponent to come to Missoula since No. 1 North Dakota State in 2015. The last Big Sky team to play at Washington-Grizzly Stadium with a top-10 ranking was No. 9 Northern Arizona in 2017. This year, it’s a battle between the top two teams in the Big Sky standings, and with only two regular-season games left to play, it will go a long way toward determining who will claim the Big Sky championship. One of those teams is the defending conference co-champion that brings the league’s best overall defense and an explosive offense. The other, a team hungry to return to its former dominance, boasts a dynamic and balanced offensive attack and the second-best rush defense in the league, led by arguably the best linebacker in FCS football. Two of the founding members of the Big Sky Conference, Montana and Weber State will clash for the 55th time on the gridiron this week, and the winner will be in pole position to earn a first-round bye into the FCS playoffs. Led by head coach Jay Hill, Weber State enters the game undefeated in Big Sky play, with its only two losses of the season coming in narrow defeats at San Diego State (6-0) and at Nevada (16-13). “They’re a good team. I think they’re a really complete football team. They’re good on offense, they’re good on defense, they’re good in the special teams area. A lot of that comes from the fact they’re a veteran team, and they also have a very experienced, veteran coaching staff,” said Montana head coach Bobby Hauck. “I think they’re physically mature. They look big and strong on film, and I just think we’ve got our hands full with a real veteran outfit.” Kickoff for the highly-anticipated contest is set for 1 p.m. Tickets are still available at GrizTix.com or at the Adams Center Box Office (1-888-Montana). HAPPENINGS: SENIOR DAY: Make sure to get in your seats early as Grizzly Athletics pays tribute to the 17 seniors on this year’s squad. As is traditional, each senior will be introduced one-by-one in the leadup to kickoff. HALL OF FAME GAME: The Grizzlies celebrate the careers of two Montana legends this week, in-ducting All-America Safety Vince Huntsberger into the Grizzly Sports Hall of Fame and presenting former team doctor Robert “Doc” Curry the Grizzly Lifetime Honors Award.

The two will be honored Friday evening at the SOLD-OUT hall of fame banquet at the Holiday Inn Downtown Missoula and will be honored on the field during the first quarter of Saturday’s game. A native of Libby, Huntsberger is one of the greatest defenders in Grizzly history and remains UM’s all-time leading tackler with 393 regular-season stops in his career. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2001 FCS National Championship game and was a two-time Big Sky Conference Defen-sive MVP. He made 55-straight starts for the Grizzlies and was named to eight different All-America teams. Curry served as the football team doctor and was the director of UM’s student health service (for whom its building is named after) for nearly four decades. CAN THE CATS: The 20th annual “Can the Cats” food drive is officially underway this week with Montana fans and Montana State fans competing in a friendly contest to see who can collect the most donations for area food pantries in the leadup to the Griz/Cat game on Nov. 23. Help the Griz “Can the Cats” this week by bringing canned food donations to drop-off points around Washington-Grizzly Stadium as UM takes on Weber State. Other drop-off sites are located in the Adams Center Lobby and nine different locations around the UM campus. All donations in Missoula will benefit the Missoula Food Bank & Community Center and the University of Montana Food Pantry, which was established this year on the first floor of the University Center. Learn more about how you can donate at canthecats.com GRIZ WALK: Fans are encouraged to gather on Memorial Row (outside the Adams Center) at 10:45 a.m. to cheer on the Griz as they make their way from final meetings to the locker room prior to kick off. WATCH: The Griz/Wildcats game marks the fifth of six Griz games this season to be broadcast na-tionwide on ROOT Sports. Veteran broadcaster Tom Glasgow will have the play-by-play, with analysis from Taylor Barton. ROOT Sports and its regional affiliates (AT&T Rocky Mountain, Las Vegas, and Southwest) are available on DirecTV, Dish Network, and Spectrum Cable. The game will also be shown nationwide on DirecTV’s Audience Network (Ch. 239), part of the satellite provider’s basic channel lineup. A webstream of the game is also available via AT&T Now and AT&T TV (subscription required) via the Audience Network. LISTEN: “Voice of the Griz” Riley Corcoran and longtime analyst Greg Sundberg will bring you the action live from Washington-Grizzly Stadium on KGVO Missoula, the flagship station of the Grizzly Sports Radio Network, and its thirteen affiliates around the state. Live audio web streams can also be found at GoGriz.com/Listen or on the TuneIn app. LIVE STATS: Live stats can be found at GrizStats.com GRIZ IN THE POLLS: With a 42-17 defeat of rival Idaho, the Griz moved to No. 4 in the AFCA FCS Coaches’ Poll on Monday and No. 5 in the STATS FCS Media Poll. In a tight vote, Montana (8-2, 5-1 BSC) picked up 561 points in the coaches’ poll (14 points shy of Weber State’s total of 575), and 3,161 points in the media poll, 85 points shy of No. 4 Northern Iowa. The Grizzlies have had one of the toughest schedules in FCS football this season, ranked fifth-stron-gest in the Massey Ratings. Weber State has faced an equally tough schedule, ranked the third-stron-gest by Massey.

SERIES HISTORY: As founding members of the Big Sky, the Griz and Wildcats enjoy one of the lon-gest rivalries in the conference, set to face each other for the 55th time in program history this week. While Montana holds a comfortable 39-15 overall lead and a 21-7 lead in Missoula, Weber is riding a two-game win streak against Montana dating back to 2015, the last time the two met in Missoula. In that game, a 27-yard field goal in overtime broke a 13-game losing streak for the Wildcats in Washington-Grizzly Stadium that dated back to 1989. Montana will be looking to prevent Weber from starting a win streak of their own in Missoula this week and making it 14 of the 15. LAST MEETING: In 2017 at Weber State Montana put up 500 yards of offense and out-scored Weber State 21-7 in the second half, but the Grizzlies also turned the football over five times, and couldn’t overcome a poor first half, falling to the Wildcats, 41-27 after falling 31-0 early on. Everything that could go wrong for Montana did go wrong in the first half. The Wildcats scored on all six of their first-half possessions to stake out to a 34-6 halftime lead. In the second half, both Samori Toure and Jerry Louie-McGee caught touchdown passes, with Toure’s grab for 81 yards remaining the longest of his career. SCOUTING THE WILDCATS: The Wildcats are 44-28 in six seasons under Jay Hill and at 33-13 in the Big Sky have grown to become one of the league’s dominant forces in recent years, finishing second in the conference standings in 2016, and winning back-to-back titles in 2017 and 18. • The Wildcats improved their conference record to 6-0 last week for just the second time in their school history with a 30-27 win over No. 22 North Dakota in Ogden, scoring 10 points in the final 2:49 thanks to a fumbled North Dakota kickoff late in the game. • WSU has been ranked in the FCS top-10 for a school-record 19 consecutive weeks and ranked in at least one poll dating back to Nov. 2016. • The Wildcats have won seven-straight games, which is now tied for the third-longest overall winning streak in school history.

• WSU’s ground attack is led by sophomore Josh Davis, who won the Jerry Rice Award for the National Freshman of the Year in 2018. Davis is currently fourth in the Big Sky in rushing yards, averaging 90.1 YPG and 6.7 yards a carry. Despite only being a sophomore, he is already No. 6 on WSU’s all-time rush-er list with 2,263 yards. • Kicker Trey Tuttle leads the Wildcat special teams unit with a Big Sky-best 18 field goals. The junior is now the second most prolific kicker in Weber history with a .778 career FG percentage. • Seniors Jonah Williams and Adam Rodriguez are each among the Big Sky’s top-10 in sacks with Williams at No. 4 with 6.5 and Rodriguez with 4.5. They help lead the league’s top overall defense that has held teams to 355 yards this year, and the league’s top rushing defense, keeping opponent’s ground game to a mere 110.8 YPG. For comparison sake: Montana holds the second-best rush defense in the Big Sky, allowing just 117 YPG. GRIZ TRACKS

LOOKING FOR 250: The Grizzlies will be in search of the program’s 250th Big Sky Conference win this week against Weber. UM’s win over Idaho put its overall league record at 249-136-1 (.646) since joining the conference as an inaugural member in 1963. PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: Montana nominated three players for Big Sky and National Players of the Week awards on Sunday after the win over Idaho. • Offensive: Making his return from injury in the second quarter, Montana QB Dalton Sneed gave the Grizzlies the spark needed to erase an early 10-point deficit and go on a 42-7 run as UM retained the Little Brown Stein with a 42-17 win over Idaho. Sneed looked like his usual, exemplary self in making his first appearance since Oct. 19, completing 17 of his 27 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown, while only taking one sack. • Defensive/Freshman: Montana freshman Milt Mamula wreaked havoc on the Vandals in a breakout performance for the Griz. The Newton Square, Pennsylvania, native posted a career-high two sacks for a total loss of 13 yards with four tackles and forced a critical fumble on a strip of Idaho QB Mason Petrino. He was a crucial part of Grizzly defense that held Idaho to just 10 yards rushing in the second half and 139 total yards in the same period. • Special Teams: Jerry Louie-McGee was a shoelace away from returning his fourth career punt return against the Vandals, breaking loose for a 39-yard punt return on his only opportunity of the day. DANTE KEEPS CLIMBING: At this point in his career, seeing Dante Olson come away with 13 tackles in a game doesn’t even turn a head. The senior All-American and Buchanan Award Candidate had another solid day at the office against Idaho for 13 takedowns. With 338 career tackles, he’s now moved ahead of former NFL linebacker Jordan Tripp and Mike Rankin to No. 5 on UM’s all-time tackle leader list, needing just 10 more to pass Kent Clausen (’76-’79) and Matt Hermanson (’11-’14) at No. 3. GOOD KNIGHT: With three TDs against Idaho that brought his Big Sky-best season total to 17 total scores, sophomore RB Marcus Knight is starting to rewrite the Grizzly record books in his first season at UM. He is now the only player in UM history to rush for three TDs in four different games. A total of 26 players have scored three TDs in a game or more since 1968 at UM… and Marcus Knight has been responsible for four of them. The prolific scoring has helped build his rushing TD total to 16 – tied for the third-most in a season in Griz history with Jordan Canada’s 2013 total. Knight’s 17 overall TDs are also tied for the fourth-best scoring performance in UM history with Lex Hilliard’s 2004 total and Yohance Humphrey’s 2001 national championship performance. Those 17 touchdowns have equated in 102 total points, now tied with Marc Mariani (’08) and Hilliard (’04) for the 11th-most points by any UM player in a single season. He is currently ranked No. 1 in the Big Sky in scoring and No. 6 in FCS football in scoring. SNEED RISES: Sneed’s return to action against Idaho improved his career passing total by 241 yards, bringing his career tally to 4,983 passing yards. That mark puts him above Brady Gustafson’s career mark at No. 11 on the all-time passing list. He needs 436 more yards to enter the top-10 and pass Craig Ochs’ career total of 5,419 yards. With one passing TD against Idaho, Sneed’s career total of 38 is tied with Andrew Selle and former NFL coach Marty Mornhinweg. QUICK HITS: • Senior receiver and kick returner Keynan Foster, who joined the team out of UTEP this fall, broke loose for a 34-yard kick return against the Vandals (and was a shoelace away from breaking loose for a TD), the longest of his short career at UM. • Punter/Kicker Adam Wilson posted a career day in kickoffs, averaging 64.3 yards per kick (61.6 prev.), with a total of seven touchbacks. • Senior D-Tackle and legacy jersey #37 holder Jesse Sims is scheduled to, appropriately, make his 37th-career start this week against Weber State. • With Idaho jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the first quarter and Montana roaring back for the 42-17 win, it marked the first time this season when the Griz have won when trailing after the first 15 minutes of play. • A noted second-half team, Montana has outscored its opponents 234-80 in the final 30 minutes of games this season, with the team scoring 133 of those points in the third quarter. UP NEXT: Montana caps the regular season in Bozeman in the 119th Brawl of the Wild game against No. 19 Montana State in another game that could have Big Sky Championship implications. Kickoff from Bozeman is set for Noon on Saturday, Nov. 23. The game will be broadcast nationwide on ROOT Sports. A list of watch parties around the country can be found at GoGriz.com.

B o b b y H a u c k became the 37th h e a d football c o a c h at the Univer-sity of M o n -tana on Nov. 30, 2 0 1 7 .

He was formally introduced to Griz na-tion a day later on December 1, 2017, in a press conference at the Washing-ton-Grizzly Stadium Club. 2019 will be his fourteenth year as a col-lege football head coach and his ninth year as the head coach at Montana. In his first tenure at UM from 2003-2009 Hauck won more games than any other coach in FCS football, led the Grizzlies to three national championship appear-ances, and won seven-straight Big Sky Conference championships. In 2018 Hauck became the winningest coach in Montana history, surpassing the great Don Read with 86 wins in eight seasons. Hauck is also the winningest coach in Big Sky history (by win percent-age) and is the fastest coach in league history to reach the 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80-win plateaus. He also picked up his 100th overall win and his 50th Big Sky win in 2018. In his first stint at UM, Hauck’s Grizzlies outscored their opponents 3,079-1,795 in his 97-game tenure. He also coached 37 first-team All-Big Sky selections. His 82 percent winning average was the highest in the FCS at the time, and he led UM to three perfect seasons in Big Sky play with a 47-6 league record, win-ning at least a share of the Big Sky title in each of his seven seasons. He is a three-time Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year and was named the D1-AA (FCS) Region 5 Coach of the Year in 2006. He was also a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award in 2009. Under Hauck, the Grizzlies have also excelled in the classroom. From 2003-2009, Montana placed 104 football play-

ers on Academic All-Big Sky teams, the most, or second most in the league each year. In each of those seasons, football student-athletes also graduated at a higher rate than their campus counter-parts, including a remarkable 90 percent rate in 2005. In 2018 the Grizzlies posted the two highest grade point averages in program history, including a combined 3.07 term GPA in the fall. That semester, Hauck’s Grizzlies also posted five perfect 4.0 GPAs, 20 players made the Dean’s List, and 24 were named to the Academic All-Big Sky team. The UM alum returned to his native Montana in 2017 after five seasons as the head coach at UNLV, and three seasons serving as the Associate Head Coach and Special Teams Coordinator at San Diego State.

He began his coaching career with the Grizzlies in 1988 after earning a bach-elor’s degree in business and physical education at Montana in 1987. “It is an honor and a privilege to be able to come back home to a place that is so important to me. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue the tradition of excellence at the University of Montana. I am absolutely committed to success both on and off the field. I cannot wait to see what the future holds, and look forward to being a strong advocate for the University as a whole,” said Hauck.

From 2010-2014 Hauck served as head coach and special teams coordinator at UNLV. As head coach, he led the Reb-els to the Heart of Dallas Bowl in 2013 - their only winning season since 2000, only the fourth bowl game in UNLV his-tory, and the first to be played on New Year’s Day. In 2015, Hauck accepted the role as special teams coordinator at San Di-ego State under legendary head coach Rocky Long. There he coached kick returner Rashaad Penny, a three-time Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Year and 2017 Offensive Player of the Year - the only player in league history to win both awards in the same season. Penny also holds the NCAA re-cord for career kick returns for a touch-down (7).

Grizzly football jersey #37 began its lega-cy in 1983. Griz fullback and Plentywood native Kraig Paulson began the tradition of passing #37 on to a younger player who hailed from the state of Montana. Paulson was known for his hard-nosed play and workman mentality. So the tradition began. Number 37 has come to represent the Spir-it of Montana… hard work, dedication to the team, and tough play on the gridiron.

THE #37 TRADITION - GRIZZLY LEGACY

GRIZ FOOTBALL 2019

25PAGE

2019 GRIZ SEASON NOTESOLSON FOR THE CAMPBELL TROPHY: Dante Olson was named as one of 12 finalists for the prestigious William V. Campbell Trophy, the National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame announced On Week 10. Known as the “Academic Heisman” award, The William V. Campbell Trophy recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation for his combined academic success, foot-ball performance, and exemplary leadership. As a member of the NFF’s 2019 National Scholar-Ath-lete Class and one of 12 finalists for the Campbell Trophy, Olson will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship, and will travel to New York City for the 62nd NFF Annual Awards Dinner on Tuesday, Dec. 10, where his accomplishments will be highlighted in front of one of the most powerful audiences in all of sports.

SAMORI’SSNAGS: Samori Toure grabbed a career-high three TD passes at Portland State. The last Grizzly to get three in one game? Jamaal Jones against Montana State in 2015.

Toure and Samuel Akem each totaled more than 100 yard receiving at PSU, and Jerry Louie-McGee had a big game with 68 yards. If Louie-McGee had 32 more yards that day, it would have been the first time UM had three, 100-yard receivers since Etu Molden (156), Jimmy Farris (149), and Tanner Hancock (127) did it against Idaho in Pullman, Wash., in 2000.

ABIGMAN’SDREAM: Every defensive lineman dreams of getting his hands on the ball for a turnover, and intercepting a pass is probably the rarest form of D-line steal. Not for Montana Freshman Alex Gubner. Picking off his third, yes third, interception of the year at Portland State, Gubner then led the Grizzlies in interceptions and was tied for the third-most of anyone in the Big Sky Conference.

LEWIS EMERGES: Junior linebacker Jace Lewis posted a career day at PSU with three sacks, nine tackles and a QB hurry. Following the game he had had six games this season with seven tackles or more.

CAM’STHEMAN: Junior QB Cam Humphrey’s number was called for injury replacement in two of Montana’s games late this season, and the former Boise State walk-on answered the call tremendously. The Grizzlies didn’t miss a beat with Sneed out of the lineup, earning important Big Sky wins over EWU and PSU by an average of 16 points.

Humphrey was staggeringly accurate in his first two career starts, completing 41 of 57 passes (72%) for a combined 511 yards and five TDs.

But it was his orchestration of the ground game that helped dictate the wins for Montana, with the Griz outrushing the Eagles and Vikings by a combined 418-195.

ACCOLADES FOR SNEED: Incumbent starting QB Dalton Sneed earned accolades for his gaudy numbers in the first half of the season, being named to the Col-lege Football Performance Awards (CFPA) midseason FCS National Performer of the Year watchlist on Week 11.

THE LITTLE BROWN STEIN: Montana and Idaho have played for a traveling trophy dubbed the “Little Brown Stein” by a former school newspaper reporter at UM, since 1938. Montana retained the Stein with a 42-17 win. Carved of wood, the Little Brown Stein has resided in Missoula for the last 20 years since the Griz beat the Vandals 45-38 in Moscow in 2000.

Inspired by the Little Brown Jug trophy that goes to the winner of the Michigan/Minnesota game each year, Montana has won the stein in ten of the last 12 meetings between Montana and Idaho. Idaho holds a 36-24-1 all-time advantage in Little Brown Stein games since 1938.

HITTING THE CENTURY MARK: Going into UM’s game at Portland State, the Griz had outscored oppo-

#CFB150: November 6, 2019 will mark the 150th anniversary of what is traditionally con-sidered the first college football game, played between Princeton and Rutgers in 1869. The Montana Grizzlies, alongside the NCAA, College Football Playoff, and various national sports media will undergo a year-long celebration at all levels to commemorate 150 years of college football, and all the good the game does for countless people nationwide.

The Grizzlies will be wearing a CFB150 patch on their jerseys this season to commemorate this monumental occasion.

Montana Football will celebrate the 50th an-niversary of the 1969 Grizzlies all season long in 2019. A Grizzly Sports Hall of Fame team, the ’69 Griz were the first to go undefeated in the regular season, and the first team at Montana to win a Big Sky Championship. They were also the first Grizzlies to play in the Camellia Bowl for the Division-II National Championship. The ’69 Griz went undefeated that year at 10-0 in the regular season, the most wins of any Griz-zly team in 70 years at the time, and remained the most until the 1989 team went 11-3.

The 1969 squad had a school-record 11 first team All-Big Sky selections: Arnie Blancas, Tim Gallagher, Bil Gutzman, Kent Miller, Jim Nord-strom, Roy Robinson, John Stedham, Karl Stein, Larry Stranahan, and Tuufuli Uperesa. Stein still holds the Big Sky single-season interception record with 11that season.

The 1969 Griz were inducted into the Grizzly Sports Hall of Fame in 2009 along with the 1970 Griz, who also went undefeated in the regular season at 10-0. The teams were coached by Jack Swarthout, whose 51 wins were the most in school history until Don Read crossed that mark in 1993.

‘69 GRIZ CELEBRATE 50TH ANNIVERSARY

nents by exactly 100 points at that point in the season (302-202). The bulk of Montana’s points (182) had been scored in the second half where the Griz have been dominant all year, outscoring opponents 182-67 at the time.

600 AND COUNTING: Montana’s win over Eastern Washington marked the 600th win in program history for the Grizzlies, becoming the only school in Big Sky Conference history, and only the fifth FCS team located west of the Mississippi, to accumulate that many wins (others: NDSU, UNI, Drake, SDSU). It’s only fitting that - in the same year the nation celebrates 150 years of college football – Montana becomes one of just 22 FCS teams to accumulate 600 wins, joining the ranks of historic programs like Princeton, who played in the first intercollegiate football game in 1869, nearly 30 years before Montana started its program in 1897.

PASSED 300: With 16 tackles at Sac State – or for him, just another day at the office – Dante Olson con-tinues his march toward the top of Montana’s all-time tacklers’ list with 303 career takedowns to his name. Olson passed a number of legends on the list and now sits at No. 10 in career tackles at UM. He moved ahead of the career totals of National champion Jason Crebo, NFL Draft Pick Caleb McSurdy, NFC Champion Brock Coyle, four-time Big Sky Champion Shawn Lebsock, and ‘82 conference champ Jake Trammell.

GRIZ FOOTBALL 2019

2019 GRIZ SEASON NOTESa junior in 2018 with a school-record 151 takedowns, an average of 13.1 per game. Now as a senior, Olson is climbing his way back to the top of the national standings in tackles with 85 so far this season (12.1 per game), ranking him first in the Big Sky and second nationally this week.

CAREER DAYS: Heading into the EWU game Jace Lewis had been on a tear in the tackling department, setting a new career-high for tackles in each of the previous three games. Against UC Davis, the junior posted 13 tackles and followed that up with 14 against Idaho State. At Sac State, he set a new personal best with a game-high 17 tackles. D-LINE PICKS: Montana freshman D-lineman Alex Gubner was the lucky recipient of a tipped pass at Sac State that gave him the second interception of his career. While Montana had the third-most INTs in the league as a team with eight at the time, Gubner became the only Grizzly and the only D-lineman in the league with more than one following the Sac State game. EXPERIENCE COUNTS: Seniors Cy Sirmon, Justin Calhoun, and Josh Sandry each made their 40th ap-pearance in a Grizzly jersey in Sacramento – the most appearances on the team. Sirmon and Calhoun have been journeymen in their time at UM, with Sirmon play-ing starting his career at linebacker before eventually moving to the offensive line. Calhoun started as a wide receiver and has made the transformation to corner-back where he is now among the top 15 in the league in passes defended. Sandry has been a stalwart at safety since his sophomore season.

THE NEED FOR SNEED: With a career-high 464 yards of total offense and four touchdowns to outscore Idaho State 59-3 in the final three quarters, Sneed was named the STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Week two weeks ago, and became the first Grizzly to be named the ROOT Sports Big Sky Offensive Player of the Week for three consecutive weeks prior to the bye week. After trailing 17-0, Sneed responded to the early deficit by throwing for 358 yards over the course of the next three quarters, completing 21 of his last 28 passes (.750), including a pair of TDs and 12 first downs. The senior QB’s total offense blitz was the most of any player in the Big Sky Conference on week six, and the second-most of any player in the league so far this season. Sneed is the first player to earn three weekly honors from the league since Olson did it in 2018. Sneed is also the first UM quarterback to win three weekly honors in a single season since John Edwards in 2002. He is the first QB in the Big Sky to earn three weekly honors since Eastern Washington’s Gage Gubrud did it in 2017.

In the three games prior to the bye week, Sneed threw for a total of 999 yards and 11 touchdowns and rushed for an additional 169 yards and two TDs to bring his total offensive output 1,168 yards and thirteen scores. In that three-game span, he also completed nearly 70-percent of his passes.

With 397 yards passing, his game against ISU was the third 300+ passing performance of the year so far, and the fifth of his career at UM.

Sneed’s 464 yards of total offense against Idaho State was just 36 yards shy of 500, a major threshold for any college football player to cross. The last Grizzly to post 500+ yards of total offense? Brian Ah Yat in 1996 (549).

MOVE THE CHAINS: Under offensive coordinator Timm Rosenbach, Montana set a new school record with 35 total first downs last week against Idaho State. The previous record was 34, set in the 2012 season opener against South Dakota under Rosenbach in his first game as Grizzly OC during his first stint at UM.

Record: 32-7* = D1-AA/FCS Playoff Game

SAMORI’SSNAGS: Junior receiver Samori Toure hauled in a whopping 188 yards worth of pass recep-tions against Idaho State before the bye week. Only 12 Grizzlies have ever had more receiving yards in a single game, with the most going to Joe Douglas (279) against EWU in 1996. Toure’s 188 tied Ellis Henderson for the most at UM since 2009 when Marc Mariani had 200 yards against Cal Poly.

SERIES EXTENDED: The Montana/Idaho State rivalry dates back all the way to 1921, with the Griz now holding a commanding 47-13 lead. In Missoula, history is on UM’s side even more, with a 33-3 record, and an unblemished 19-0 record at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The Griz have now won 13 straight against the Bengals.

MONTANA FOREVER: The University of Mon-tana celebrated its 100th Homecoming weekend in school history during the ISU week. Over the last century, Homecoming has been a particularly happy occasion for the Montana Grizzlies, who now hold an overall record of 65-33-1 since the first homecoming game was played against Washington State in 1919 (a 42-14 loss to the Cougars). The Griz have been especially successful since moving into the

friendly confines of Washington-Grizzly Stadium in 1986, picking up the 30th win, and now hold-ing a 30-4 record on Homecoming.

ACCOLADES: Big wins = big praise, and Montana received plenty of it after winning at #4 UC Davis. On the national level, STATS, the leading FCS news outlet, named Montana its “Team of the Week,” calling it a “statement” win for Hauck’s Grizzlies. STATS also named UM senior kicker/punter Adam Wilson its National Special Teams Player of the Week for pinning the Aggies deep in their own territory in both the punting and kicking game. The College Football Performance Awards, which honors the best performances around the country at the FCS and FBS levels, named Dal-ton Sneed their “FCS Performer of the Week” for his lights-out play. For the second-straight week, the Big Sky Con-ference also named Sneed the ROOT Sports Offensive Player of the Week, the first Grizzly to earn back-to-back weekly conference awards since Dante Olson in 2018. Sneed was also an honorable mention for the STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Week.

DANTE’SKIDS:After a hugely successful fundraising campaign, Dante Olson’s adopt-ed third-grade class at Gerber Elementary in Gerber, Calif., was in attendance at UC Davis, experiencing life on a college campus as part of the “No Excuses University” program that helps encourage underprivileged kids to pursue a college education.

With the support of Griz Nation, Keri Spengler’s third grade class raised over $4,000 to help offset the cost of sending Olson’s adopted class nearly two hours south on Interstate 5 to Davis for the game.

The kids, who regularly skype and exchange let-ters with Olson, got to see their mentor play and cheer him on against the Aggies and once again met him face to face after the final whistle.

In Sept., Olson was named to the prestigious AFCA Good Works Team in part due to his work in the community, helping the kids from Gerber realize they too can pursue a college education.

COACH TO CURE: At UC Davis, Hauck and the Grizzly coaching staff joined hundreds of football coaches around the country in wearing patches on their sleeve to help build awareness of the “Coach To Cure MD” project in partnership with the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA).

Coach To Cure MD is a one-day, nationwide awareness building and fundraising event that was held on Sept. 28, 2019. Over the last 11 years, Coach To Cure MD has raised over $2.1 million for Duchenne research. The goal of Coach To Cure MD is to raise awareness of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, generate new fi-nancial support for Duchenne research, demon-strate coaches’ commitment to the betterment of young men and the core academic research missions of their universities.

By wearing this patch, Coach Hauck and his staff showed their support for Coach To Cure MD and the fight against this disease.

TWICE AS NICE: Following Montana’s domi-nant 47-27 win over Monmouth, two Grizzlies took home ROOT Sports Big Sky Player of the Week awards. Quarterback Dalton Sneed won the second Player of the Week honor in

27PAGE

2019 GRIZ SEASON NOTEShis career after completing 75 percent of his passes, and returner Malik Flowers was named Special Teams Player of the Week after taking a kickoff the distance for a full 100-yard return for a touchdown.

It was the first time two Grizzlies have been named Player of the Week since 2013, when Matt Hermanson and Ellis Henderson won the defensive and special teams player of the week awards, respectively.

Sneed was staggeringly accurate against Mon-mouth, completing 30 of his 40 (75%) passes for a total of 334 yards and four touchdowns. His completion percentage was the second-best of any QB in the league on week four, and the most against a team receiving top-25 votes. His 75% completion percentage was also a ca-reer-high and was the best of any UM QB since 2016. Sneed’s 334 yards is the third-highest to-tal of his career at UM. He also added 21 yards on the ground for 355 yards of total offense.

Flowers’ return was the second of his career and the longest in modern Grizzly history, passing Damon Boddie’s 1993 return of 99 yards at Ida-ho. Milt Popovich returned a kick for a TD 102 yards in 1936 to sit atop the UM record book. The Fontana, Calif., native is the leading kick returner in the Big Sky, averaging 32.2 yards per return, a total that ranks him sixth in the FCS. It is the first Big Sky Player of the Week recogni-tion of his career.

CATCHING PASSES FROM PASS CATCH-ERS: Colin Bingham’s two touchdown catches against Monmouth were his first two of the season, and the fifth and sixth touchdowns of his career, respectively.

Bingham’s second-quarter touchdown catch on a double pass from Sneed to Samori Toure is also the second TD catch of his career that was thrown by a wide receiver. The Missoula native also caught a double-pass in 2018 against Northern Iowa that was thrown by Keenan Curran.

CHASING 600: Montana needs just three more wins to become the 22nd FCS school to earn 600 or more victories in program history, with a current total of 597 wins dating back to 1897. It’s a rare mark, with only 79 programs in all of Division-I football (FBS & FCS) currently holding 600-plus wins. The leaders of both lists represent some of the most historic programs in college football history, with Yale (907) and Harvard (875) possessing the most wins in FCS history, and Michigan (953), Ohio State (911), and Texas (908) topping the FBS list.

MISSOURI VALLEY TAKES IT: Despite a strong start from the Big Sky Conference that included Montana’s 31-17 win at South Dakota, the Missouri Valley Conference clinched its second-straight win in the 2019 BSC/MVFC Challenge Series thanks to five wins last week. With one game (Northern Iowa at Weber State – 9/28) left to play, the MVFC leads the series 6-3.

MISSISSIPPI MUD: After dismantling Mon-mouth, which is located in West Long Branch, N.J., the Grizzlies improved their all-time record against teams from east of the Mississippi river in Washington-Grizzly Stadium to 32-7 since the facility opened in 1986. The next chance the Griz will have to improve on that record in the regular season will be Sept. 19, 2020, when Morehead State (Morehead Ky.) visits on week three next year.

Calhoun made his 20th consecutive start for the Grizzlies against Monmouth on week four. The senior had made 35 career starts heading into week five, even after switching positions as a junior from wide receiver to cornerback.

THE GARDEN CITY HOSTS THE GARDEN STATE: Montana’s game against Monmouth marked the first time UM has ever played a team from the state of New Jersey. The Garden State has just three D-I football programs, with Monmouth and Princeton playing in the FCS, and Rutgers in the FBS. Monmouth is located on the Northern Coast of New Jersey in West Long Branch, a little over an hour south of New York City and just minutes from the coast. September’s game marked the furthest west the Hawks had ever traveled to play football, with Google Maps placing the two schools 2,416 miles apart. The previous longest distance traveled by Monmouth to play was in 2013 when the Hawks traveled 2,215 miles to play Montana State in Bozeman.

JERRY’SWORLD: Montana receiver and return specialist Jerry Louie-McGee topped the Grizzly record books for the second time in his career at Oregon, breaking Raul Pacheco’s 1998 school record for career pass receptions (192) with six against the Ducks. With his six catches for 66 yards and a new school record under his belt against the Ducks, “JLM” earned Montana’s Big Sky Offensive Player of the Week nomination. Louie-McGee also needs just one more punt return for a touchdown to set a new school record and is also among UM’s career leaders in receiving yards and all-purpose yards per game.

After his 66 yards at Oregon, Louie-McGee moved to No. 16 on all-time receiving yards list passing Ryan Bagley (04-07), Mike Trevathan (87-90), and Mike Erhardt (1993-96) with 1,994 career yards on week 3. “It’s pretty cool coming here as a walk-on, getting my shot and just hoping to be able to get some snaps or be able to help the team as best I can,” said Louie-McGee on after the Oregon game. “I’m pretty blessed, and I’m honored to have my name up there, but I’m excited to get going on the next game.” At the time the senior from Coeur d’Alene cur-rently led the nation in punt returns, averaging 26-yards per return, and is ranked third in the Big Sky in receptions per game with seven. While fans know his electric spark on the field, it’s what he does away from the crowds that impresses Hauck about Louie-McGee most. “He’s exciting to watch play. What you all don’t see is how hard he works in the weight room and on the practice field. But the thing I’ve ap-preciated probably most about him is how much he’s improved his practice habits and how much he’s improved his game in the broad sense,” says Hauck. “He’s become a way more complete football player. He’s bigger and stronger, and I think he’s faster, and the work he’s put has made him an even better player.”

GOOD WORK DANTE: Dante Olson earned a big-time pat on the back on Sept. 12 for his work off the field, being named to the presti-gious Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. Olson is one of just 22 players nationwide at all levels of college football to earn a place on the team, narrowed down from a list of 137 nominees by an esteemed panel of judges, including Kirk Herbstreit (ESPN) and Tim Tebow (Florida, 2009 team). The Honorary Head Coach of the Good Works Team is Dabo Swinney of the National Champion Clemson Tigers. As a member of the Good Works Team, Olson will be invited to the 2020 Allstate Sugar Bowl and will join Tebow, Allstate volunteers, and the rest of the team in a special community service project in New Orleans. Olson will also be invited to the Superdome where Allstate will rec-ognize the Good Works Team during the Sugar Bowl halftime show. For more than a year, Olson has served as a mentor and pen-pal with a class of underpriv-ileged third graders at Gerber Elementary in Northern California farm country, encouraging them to pursue a college education as part of the “No Excuses University” program.

SPEAKING OF DANTE: Olson earned Mon-tana’s Defensive Player of the Week nomination after an eye-catching performance against Justin Herbert and the vaunted Oregon Duck offense (which put up 77 points on Nevada the week previous). Playing in his home state, Olson totaled a game-high 14 tackles, with 10 of them solo tackles. No other player in the Big Sky posted more tackles overall in week three.

GOOD KNIGHT: In his first start as a Grizzly sophomore running back Marcus Knight had a breakout game against UNA, rushing 19 times for 89 yards and three touchdowns. After catch-ing a pass for a touchdown in South Dakota, Knight led the Big Sky in total TDs with four on the season, good enough to rank fourth in the nation at the time.

GRIZ FOOTBALL 2019

2019 GRIZ SEASON NOTESPLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jerry Louie-McGee etched his name in Montana’s record book with 150 punt return yards against UNA, highlighted by a 74-yard touchdown that sent the Washing-ton-Grizzly Stadium crowd into meltdown. His 150 yards bested his previous PR of 118 yards set against Northern Iowa in 2016. It was a performance that earned him the sec-ond ROOT Sports Special Teams Player of the Week award of his career on Monday. Now with three punt return TDs in his career, Louie-Mc-Gee is now tied for the most of any Grizzly in school history with Marc Mariani and Levander Segars.

STREAKS ALIVE: Montana’s win over North Alabama extended the Grizzlies’ streak of home-opener wins inside Washington-Grizzly Stadium to 16-straight, tied for the sixth-longest active winning streak in the nation.

The Griz also snapped one of the longest home-opener win streaks in FCS football this season, defeating South Dakota 31-17 at the DakotaDome on week one. The Coyotes entered the game having won 16-straight home openers themselves.

Interestingly, the last time Montana lost a home-opener was in 2003 against North Dakota State, who extended its national-best home-opener win streak to 21 this season.

Montana has only lost four season home-open-ers in Washington-Grizzly Stadium history since playing the first one in 1987. The first game played in WGS was also a win for the Griz, a 38-31 victory over Idaho State in October of 1986.

SNEED SHINES: Montana quarterback Dalton Sneed posted one of the best individual passing games in Montana history in the season opener at South Dakota, throwing for 427 yards and three touchdowns.

His total of 427 yards in the air ranks is the 18th-best passing game in a long history of illustrious Grizzly quarterbacks, but it was his completions that really climbed the charts.

With 37 pass completions (on 52 attempts), Sneed’s senior season premier is the fourth-best in program history. The only QBs with more completions in a game are: 47: Brady Gustafson @ Cal Poly, 2016 (a Big Sky Record), 43: Dave Dickenson @ Idaho, 1995, and 38: Dave Dick-enson vs. Idaho, 1994.

Sneed’s 427 yards in the air are the most from any winning quarterback in the nation in the first two weeks of action in the FCS.

THIRD DOWN OR BUST: Third down is a do-or-die situation for a football team, and the Griz came through when it mattered most on both sides of the ball at South Dakota better than nearly any team in the country on week one action.

On offense, the Griz converted 11 of 17 third down attempts, tied for the fifth-best percent-age in FCS football at .647 percent – the best percentage in the Big Sky against a Division-I opponent that week.

The Griz were equally impressive on defense, allowing a potent USD offense just two third down conversions on 10 attempts – tied for the sixth-best percentage (.200) in the FCS. That percentage was also the second-best in the Big Sky that week behind an Idaho defense who only forced eight third downs against Penn State in a 79-7 loss.

FINISH STRONG: In 2018, Montana the Griz let off the gas and gave away four different fourth quarter leads, and have been focusing on finishing games strong ever since. Well, mission accomplished.

UM held South Dakota scoreless in the fourth quarter, and barely gave the ‘Yotes any chance to climb back in the game by dominating the time of possession in the final period. The Grizzlies held the ball for a total of 12:08 in the fourth quarter, giving USD just 2:52 to work with.

Overall, the Griz won the possession battle by more than 10 minutes, keeping control for 35:27. That’s :27 longer than any game total in 2018.

FRESH STARTS: While Montana returns a vastly more experienced team overall in 2019, a total of five Grizzlies made their first-ever starts in maroon & silver at South Dakota in the season-opener.

On offense, freshman guard Tyler Ganoung started after a strong fall camp. After starting nine times at guard last year, senior Cy Sirmon made his first start at center in Vermillion as well.

There were more new faces on the defensive side of the ball, however, with three of the start-ing front-four getting their first run-out, and one linebacker who might be the biggest surprising first-time starter on the team.

Preseason All-Big Sky pick Jace Lewis made his first-ever start for the Griz, despite being a key performer at UM in his sophomore season. Rocky Mountain College Graduate Transfer Ry-der Rice also picked up a start in his first game a senior for the Griz. Also getting his first start after transferring to Montana was Joe Babros, who joined the team earlier this summer out of N.C. State.

The only freshman to earn a start for the defense was Alex Gubner, who turned plenty of heads during fall camp as well.

O CAPTAINS! MY CAPTAINS! The Grizzly players voted on the team’s 2019 captains at the end of fall camp and called upon three of UM’s most decorated players to lead them this fall. Seniors Dalton Sneed, Dante Olson, and Jesse Sims, each known for leading by example, were elected captain this season. Sneed returns for his second-straight season as captain after breaking several records in one of the top overall QB seasons in UM history. Olson was elected captain after leading all of Division-I football in tackles-per-game and shattering the school record with 151 as a junior. A leader on the field and in the weight room, Sims was also elected captain in his senior season.

ON SCHOLARSHIP: Coach Hauck made the dream of being a scholarship student-athlete come true for one Grizzly during fall camp. Sophomore offensive tackle Dylan Cook earned a scholar-ship after working his way into the two-deep. Cook, a Butte native, came to Mon-tana two years ago after playing quarterback at Montana Northern and has adjusted well to the offensive line. HEADS UP QB PLAY: It takes a high football IQ

to play the quarterback position at any level, and the Grizzlies roster is loaded with them In ad-dition to the four QBs listed on the team roster, former high school signal-callers are prevalent throughout the team… even the offensive line (Cook). In fact, the only position group that does not contain a former QB? The D-Line. GRADUATE GRIZ: In an effort to promote student-athlete academic success, The National Football Foundation recognized Montana natives Josh Sandry and Ryder Rice as two of 1,439 football players across the country at all levels of college football who have already obtained a degree and will play this fall while pursuing second diplomas in a nation-wide press release Tuesday.

GRIZ OPEN SEASON WITH BIG ROAD WINTo tag it Statement Saturday would be pushing hyperbole, especially considering it's still August. But the Montana football team definitely made an emphatic declaration in its road win over South Dakota at the DakotaDome in Vermillion on Saturday as the 2019 season got underway. Dalton Sneed threw for 430 yards and three touchdowns, and Samuel Akem and Samori Toure both caught nine passes for a combined a 300 yards and a pair of scores as the Grizzlies won 31-17. Montana, which punted just twice and was a sparkling 10 of 16 on third down, had 30 first downs and 510 yards of total offense. It wasn't just a road win over a team from the Missouri Valley Conference. Montana became the first team to defeat the Coyotes in their home opener since Missouri Western did so in 2002, when South Dakota was still a Division II program. "I just told (the team in the locker room), you just did what 16 straight teams could not do, and that was come in here and put a beatdown on them," said second-year coach Bobby Hauck on his postgame radio show. "I don't really think the score says what a beatdown it was. We missed a short field goal. We threw a pick on the six, and we took a knee on the five at the end of the game. It was a helluva perfor-mance by our guys. I'm really proud of them." Montana was kept off the scoreboard through the opening quarter and the game's first 21-plus minutes. That's when the offense finally got rolling. The Grizzlies would score on five straight possessions over the second and third quarters, going touchdown, touchdown, field goal, touchdown, touchdown. All four drives that ended with a touchdown covered 65 yards or more. After South Dakota opened the scoring with a 20-yard field goal early in the second quarter, Mon-tana answered with a nine-play, 67-yard drive that ended with Sneed finding Toure for a 16-yard touchdown. Sneed made it 14-3 when he took the ball in from two yards out later in the quarter, the only run on a drive that covered 82 yards in eight plays. The quarterback, who looked like a redshirt senior in complete control of his team's offense, went 7 for 7 on the drive for 80 yards, hitting five different receivers.

SECOND-HALF SURGE PUTS GRIZ UP BIG OVER LIONSIt’s a special feeling playing inside the confines of Washington-Grizzly Stadium, which the Uni-versity of Montana Grizzlies did for the first time this season on Saturday. The excitement rises to another level when the lights go on. Montana, in the lone night game of the season at home, got better as the game went along against the North Alabama Lions, winning the second half 45-0 on its way to an emphatic 61-17 victory on a warm Saturday evening in Missoula. The win extends Montana’s streak in home openers to 16, although it didn’t look like a sure thing for much of the first half. A resilient UNA team gave the Grizzlies fits in the first half and had a lead at the break, but the defense pitched a second-half shutout to go along with countless highlights from the offense and special teams for the dominant victory from head coach Bobby Hauck and the Grizzlies. “I thought that North Alabama, they are a physical team, I thought they tackled well, and they did a nice job,” Hauck said. “They were ready to go and handled things. We probably helped them a little bit, so at halftime, we said, ‘Our stuff is good. Our plan is sound. We just need to play better,’ and that’s what we did, we played better in the second half.” Montana threw for nearly 300 yards and ran for 234, picking up 34 first downs along the way. The Grizzlies wore down the Lions, running nearly 90 plays. It all came down to the second half, howev-er, as Montana outgained the Lions 304-66 and scored 45 unanswered points. The defense played a huge role in that, forcing four second-half turnovers as North Alabama struggled to get any momentum offensively. The Grizzly defense allowed just four first downs and stopped the Lions on all seven third downs they faced in the second half. “Those interceptions were good and opportune for our team… You get turnovers, you get a chance to win,” Hauck said following the game. Marcus Knight made quite the first impression in his Washington-Grizzly Stadium debut, running for 89 yards and three scores to lead the balanced Montana offense. In any regular game, Knight would have been the out-and-out player of the game. But this was no ordinary game for Montana. There was a special feeling in the air the first time that Jerry Louie-McGee stepped back to field a punt. Chants of, “Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!” erupted from the student section. By the end of the night, the entire stadium was cheering his name. On his first return, he busted off a 36-yard return to set up Montana’s first touchdown of the game. Then on return number two, Louie-McGee went 29 yards and set up another Montana touchdown. But on the third return, he brought the house down. Louie-McGee weaved his way through the North Alabama coverage, scoring on a 74-yard punt return, the third of his career.

LOUIE-MCGEE BECOMES ALL-TIME RECEPTIONS LEADER IN LOSS AT NO. 15 OREGON

The Montana Grizzlies did a good job limiting No. 15 Oregon’s high-powered offense late Saturday night in front of a crowd of nearly 50,000, but the Ducks were too much to handle as Montana lost its first game of the season 35-3 against the Pac-12 opponent.

“I’m disappointed we didn’t come in here and get the win, but they have a really good football team,” head coach Bobby Hauck said following the game. “They were better on defense than I thought they were going to be, and they have a really nice team. The quarterback is just terrific, and we just didn’t have enough for them tonight.”

Jerry Louie-McGee made history under the bright lights of Autzen Stadium, breaking Raul Pache-co’s record to become Montana’s all-time receptions leader. The senior caught six passes, increas-ing his career total to 196. He is also just six yards shy of breaking the 2,000 yard mark.

Montana’s defense - led by Oregon native Dante Olson - put forth a valiant effort against one of the best offenses in the country. Olson was everywhere, making 10 solo tackles and 14 total stops. Montana didn’t allow many big plays to the Ducks, and Olson was a huge part of that, making some impressive solo tackles in the open field. Robby Hauck also had a good defensive game with nine tackles.

The Grizzlies were beat through the air by the talented Herbert, but they did a good job limiting Oregon’s rushing attack. A veteran offensive line of the Ducks didn’t create the mismatch that many may have expected entering the game.

“I was afraid they would knock us off the ball and they didn’t do that, so we probably made some progress with the young D-linemen we played today,” Hauck said.

On offense, the Griz found most of their success through the air, throwing for 234 of their 242 total yards. Dalton Sneed had a good night in just over three quarters of work, completing 20 passes for 184 yards. Samuel Akem and Louie-McGee helped him out, each hauling in six receptions. Akem had 85 yards; Louie-McGee went for 66 yards.

Montana had 12 drives and entered Oregon territory on half of them, doing well to get the defense some rest and not allow the Ducks offense to get much momentum. After scoring 77 points last week against Nevada, Montana held Mario Cristobal’s team to less than half of that total. This is Montana’s seventh straight loss against an FBS opponent.

Montana remained competitive against the Ducks for most of the game, and nearly entered the half trailing by just two scores. But Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert had a huge game, proving that he is one of the premier players in the entire country. He went 30-42 for 316 yards and five touchdowns, becoming the first player in Oregon’s storied history to throw 5+ touchdowns in back-to-back games.

BALANCED GRIZ ROLL TO WIN OVER MONMOUTHMontana put together another big second half at home Saturday against Monmouth, running away from its Big South opponent thanks to a big day from the tight ends and running backs. The Grizzly tight ends combined for four touchdown receptions, Marcus Knight had a career-high rushing, and Malik Flowers registered the longest play in modern Grizzly history in a 47-27 win to finish the non-conference portion of Montana’s schedule with a 3-1 record. Monmouth entered the game at 2-1 and had the fourth-best rushing offense in the country, but Montana limited star running back Pete Guerriero to just 47 yards. Dante Olson led the defense with another big day, making 13 tackles with two and a half for loss and one big sack. “It was a good win for our team,” Head Coach Bobby Hauck said following the game. “Monmouth is a team that, I think they feel they are a playoff-caliber football team and they might be right. They are awfully good, they are well-coached, and they just do a really nice job.” Senior tight end Colin Bingham had four catches for 72 yards and two scores and his position part-ner Bryson Deming also had four catches and two touchdowns. It was a big day for a unit that often doesn’t get much shine, but took advantage of the opportunities Monmouth gave them. The Griz also got a breakout performance through the air from Mitch Roberts, who had five catches for 80 yards off the bench. The trio helped Dalton Sneed to another big day passing, as the quarter-back connected on 30 of his 40 passes – a season-high for completion percentage - for 334 yards and four touchdowns. “The tight ends and Mitch Roberts had a big day,” Hauck said. “Those three caught the ball well and got good hard yards after the catch and after contact. Dalton was seeing it well, and he found the right guys, so it was fun.” Knight also had an impressive day on the ground for the Grizzlies, running for 148 yards with a touchdown. He averaged seven yards per carry and helped lead a 92-yard drive late that sealed the game. It was the first time a Montana running back ran for more than 140 yards since Jordan Canada against Southern Utah in November of 2014.Freshman Nick Ostmo also had a nice day with 47 yards and Sneed had 27 on the ground as well to bring Montana’s team total to 221 rushing yards. The Grizzly defense maintained their excellent play on third down this season. The Hawks were able to convert just 4-of-16 (25 percent) of their third downs in the game. On the season, Montana has allowed just 15 conversions on 52 third-down attempts (29 percent).

GRIZ LAND UPSET ROAD WIN OVER #4 AGGIESThis game had been on the radar since the schedule was released. The Montana Grizzlies rolled through the FCS non-conference slate, but they knew what awaited them at the start of the Big Sky schedule. UC Davis, the No. 4 team in the FCS, on the road. On top of that, when the two teams met in 2018, Montana lost an 18-point halftime lead at home as the Aggies outscored them 46-0 in the second half.

Just like the 2018 version of this match-up, Montana put together an impressive first half to take the lead into the break. You would forgive the Grizzlies for wanting to add a little insurance in the third quarter. Montana erased some bad memories and made a statement to the rest of the league, as well as the entire FCS. The Griz scored three times in the first six minutes of the third quarter, taking a huge lead on the way to a 45-20 road win against No. 4 UC Davis.

The Grizzlies used a balanced offense, led by dual-threat quarterback Dalton Sneed, and a big-play defense to outgain UC Davis 529 yards to 351 and completely control the game against one of the best teams in the country.

“We have tremendous confidence in our ability. I don’t think we’re there yet, but this is a good win for us obviously against the fourth-ranked team in the country, and it wasn’t close,” Head Coach Bobby Hauck said following the game. “I’m pretty happy. That’s a nice win for our team.”

Sneed threw for 268 yards and five touchdowns in the dominant win, connecting with nine different receiv-ers. He also found four different players on scoring plays and is now up to 35 career touchdown passes, the 10th most in Montana history. He passed Assistant Head Coach Brent Pease on the all-time list with his performance.

He made big play after big play on the ground as well, rushing for 81 yards on just 10 carries. In a battle between two of the best quarterbacks in the FCS, Sneed certainly had the edge on Saturday.

“They are proud of their quarterback Jake Maier. He’s a fine player, he’s the Big Sky Preseason Player of the Year, and he’s on some watch lists, but we have the best quarterback in the league in Dalton Sneed,” Hauck said.

Marcus Knight added on to a huge rushing day for the Montana, totaling 91 yards with a touchdown. The Grizzlies had big plays from Nick Ostmo (four carries for 28 yards) and Drew Turner (four carries for 53 yards). All told, Montana’s offense ran for 260 yards.

The defense put together a gem of a performance in its own right, limiting last year’s Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year Jake Maier and the Aggie offense to 351 yards and three scores. Montana’s defense also forced three turnovers, and the offense turned two of those into touchdowns in four plays or less to completely swing the momentum of the game and silence the home crowd.

Dante Olson and the defense had another great performance, recording eight tackles while picking off his first pass of the season. Jace Lewis proved to be a difference-maker as well, recording 13 tackles - nine of which were solo - and hurrying Maier multiple times. Robby Hauck also entered double-digit tackles with 10. The defensive front didn’t allow UC Davis to be comfortable all game long, holding the Aggies to just 60 rushing yards.

GRIZ REBOUND FROM SLOW START TO ROUT BENGALSA week after a big road win, back home for Homecoming, a bye week coming up, and even the pouring rain at the time of kickoff. There were plenty of reasons why the Grizzlies may have had a letdown performance against Idaho State on Saturday. But Montana proved it is a championship-caliber team and kept its season rolling with a 59-20 win over the Bengals to improve its record to 5-1. Quarterback Dalton Sneed continued his incredible offensive season, passing for 397 yards and rushing for another 67 yards. He had four total touchdowns, two through the air and two on the ground. His 464 total yards -- a new career-high -- led Montana’s offense to eclipse 50 points for the second time on the season. In three home games this season, Montana is averaging over 55 points per game. “His stat line is pretty fantastic, and his practice this week was pretty fantastic as well,” Head Coach Bobby Hauck said of the quarterback. “But he’s such a competitive guy that I think he was awfully juiced up and wanted to be perfect in the game and missed some things in the first quarter. But after that, he was money.” The big day from Sneed also led to a couple of spectacular performances from his outside receivers. Samuel Akem and Samori Toure both went over 100 yards. Toure had eight catches for 188 yards and a touchdown. Akem had 10 grabs for 135 and a score. The Griz didn’t get the same type of yardage on the ground, but the rushing game was crucial when it came to scoring. Marcus Knight ran for three scores, Sneed had two, and Adam Eastwood tacked one on at the end for a six-touchdown day from the rushing attack. Overall, Montana had 588 total yards compared to just 386 for Idaho State. The Grizzlies had 15 more first downs than the Bengals and also nearly 70 fewer penalty yards. “We just have a really great offense in general,” Toure said. “When everybody does their job, I don’t think there are too many people that can stop us. So, we just had to trust in the system and keep on going and staying persistent, and ultimately, we found success.”

Montana’s defense made an adjustment early and confused the Bengals offensively for the rest of the game. Dante Olson and Jace Lewis slowed down a dangerous Idaho State run game, recording 18 and 14 tackles, respectively. Robby Hauck had eight tackles and one sack, but we will get to that in a moment. After giving up 17 points on the first three drives, the Griz defense allowed just a field goal over the final 12 drives of the game. The specialty stats in the box score also continued to lean in favor of Montana. The Grizzlies were 7-for-7 in red-zone trips and converted nearly 50 percent (5-of-11) of their third-down attempts. The defense limited Idaho State to just five conversions on 16 third-down attempts. The Grizzlies started slow, and while a football game never comes down to a single play, Robby Hauck completely changed things for Montana with a sack in the second quarter. He shot into the backfield like a rocket, sacking quarterback Matt Struck. At the time, Idaho State led 17-7, had scored on all three drives and had completely silenced the home crowd. The play led to Montana’s first defensive stop, which they turned into the first score.

GRIZZLIES UPSET BY HORNETS IN FCS GAME OF THE WEEKIn the FCS Game of the Week, the Montana Grizzlies couldn’t match the firepower and energy of an upstart Sacramento State team. The Hornets defeated their third straight ranked opponent, knocking off No. 5 Montana 49-22 in the Homecoming game at perhaps the biggest game in Hornet Stadium history.

The No. 15/17 Hornets dominated both sides of the ball en route to the big win, as Montana returned from the bye week with a rusty performance. The Grizzlies fall to 5-2 (2-1 in Big Sky play) with the loss, while Sacramento State improves to 3-0 in the Big Sky to share the conference lead with Weber State.

“Ultimately, disappointment is the word,” Head Coach Bobby Hauck said following the game. “This was the Super Bowl to our opponent tonight and they won it. They got after us. They beat us on offense, they beat us on defense and ultimately I have to look in the mirror and say how do we get our team ready to play across the board so we can compete against a team like that.”

Kevin Thomson won the battle between two of the best quarterbacks in the Big Sky, scoring five total touchdowns and accounting for over 400 yards of total offense. The Grizzly defense forced a pair of fumbles, but struggled to slow down a high powered offense. The Hornets had nearly 400 yards at halftime, building a lead and then managing the clock well. Sacramento State had nearly 40 minutes of possession in the game.

Sacramento State outgained Montana 561-391 and had 31 first downs. Montana came into the game averaging 29 first downs a game, but were limited to just 15 on Saturday. The Hornets also ran nearly 20 more plays than Montana.

On the other side, the Hornet defense never allowed Sneed and company to get comfortable. The Grizzly quarterback finished with just 140 passing yards and two interceptions before being injured late in the third quarter. The ground game that led to Montana’s victory against Sacramento State in 2018 also couldn’t get going, as the Griz ran for 146 yards. Jerry Louie-McGee’s 64-yard touchdown rush on the fourth play of the game accounted for a large portion of that total.

Marcus Knight and Sneed also had rushing touchdowns for the Grizzlies. The sophomore running back averaged over five yards a carry, but an early deficit didn’t allow him many chances as he had just 11 carries for 61 yards.

The linebacking duo of Jace Lewis and Dante Olson did their best to slow Sacramento State down, finishing with 17 and 16 tackles, respectively. Olson also forced a fumble. Robby Hauck also had double-digit tackles, but the Grizzlies forced just two Sacramento State punts on the night. Alex Gubner had his second career interception.

The Grizzlies threw two interceptions and were turned over on downs three times as well, as it seemed all of the big plays on the night went in favor of the hosts. Montana’s defense was able to force a couple of fumbles and pick off Thomson once.

It was an uncharacteristic game across the board for the Grizzlies, as they committed 11 more penalties than the Hornets. They also struggled on third down (4-of-15), while Sacramento State converted nearly 50 percent of their third down attempts.

GROUND GAME GETS GOING AS GRIZ RUN OVER EAGLESMontana needed this game. The week after a loss, with a backup quarterback starting, against a traditional rival and one of the best programs in the Big Sky in recent years, the Griz needed a boost. A second straight loss could have derailed the season heading into the home stretch of the season for the Grizzlies. Instead, they steamrolled through rival Eastern Washington after facing an early deficit, going on a 31-3 run that led to a 34-17 victory. The win brings Montana to 6-2 on the season and 3-1 in the Big Sky, keeping them in the hunt for the Big Sky Championship. “Certainly, to beat a team that played in the National Championship game last year is a great win for us,” Head Coach Bobby Hauck said following the game. “I’m proud of our guys for their effort and how they approached the game coming off a loss and how they finished it frankly.” Any win over a rival is special, but this game came with another bit of history to make it that much sweeter. The Grizzlies picked up win No. 600 in program history, just the 22nd FCS team to reach the mark. Montana becomes the first Big Sky program to reach the milestone and is just the fourth FCS school west of the Mississippi (with North Dakota St., UNI, South Dakota St.) to join the 600-win club. Hauck and his staff made adjustments offensively with Cam Humphrey starting his first game as a Grizzly in place of the injured Dalton Sneed. Humphrey managed an offense that slowed down the tempo and went to the ground often, racking up 254 rushing yards. Running back Marcus Knight had another big game, scoring a hat trick of touchdowns and gaining 131 yards on the ground. This is the third time this season Knight has rushed for three touchdowns in a single game, as the back is now up to 12 on the season. The sophomore also had big plays out of the backfield, adding on 65 yards on three catches to bring his all-purpose yardage to 196. He averaged five yards per carry, continually putting the Grizzlies into short-yardage situations.

The rush offense helped Montana control the clock, as they finished with over 37 minutes of possession. A large part of that was the Grizzly defense’s ability to get off the field quickly. In 14 Eastern Washington drives, they were able to stay on the field for two minutes or more just four times. The Grizzlies also forced the Eagles into four three-and-outs. The Grizzly defense, which allowed a season-high 49 points last week, answered the call on Saturday. The Grizzlies gave up just 17 points, and most of Eastern Washington’s damage came via big plays. It was the lowest scoring total of the season against FCS competition for the Eagles. The usual suspects led the Grizzly defense, as Dante Olson had 14 tackles, and Robby Hauck added 10 -- six of which were solo. Jesse Sims and Jacob McGourin (a Cheney, Wash. navitve) also had sacks, both of which came on third down and ended Eastern Washington drives. Bottling up the run early allowed the Grizzlies to get after the quarterback.

Montana continued to show that they will make adjustments at halftime that completely change the tone of the game in the second half. After entering the break trailing 14-10, the Grizzlies won the final 30 minutes 24-3. On the season, the Grizzlies have outscored their opponents by 115 points in the second half

STRONG 2ND HALF LIFTS MONTANA TO IMPRESSIVE ROAD WIN AT PORTLAND STATE

All season Montana has been a second-half team, and that hasn’t been more apparent than it was on Sat-urday, when the Grizzlies rallied for a 38-23 victory at Portland State. The Grizzlies trailed at the half, 17-14, with the Vikings scoring 10 consecutive points late in the second quarter and receiving the ball first to begin the third. No problem for the Grizzlies. Montana’s defense clamped down immediately to begin the second half, limiting the Vikings to just 12 yards before forcing a punt. That opening drive set the tone for the entire second half. Montana out-scored Portland State, 24-6, and some of the additional numbers were even more dominant. Portland State had seven second-half possessions, punting three times and turning the ball over on its final three drives. The Vikings’ first three drives of the second half totaled just 12 plays for 37 yards – before punting each time – while the final three resulted in a turnover on downs and a pair of interceptions. On offense, Montana was equally as good. On their first drive of the third quarter, the Grizzlies needed just four plays and 86 seconds before finding the end zone. Montana scored again on its next drive and once again two drives later to open up a 35-23 lead just one play into the fourth quarter. “Great team win for the Montana Grizzlies,” head coach Bobby Hauck said. “When things are going against us, we have a group that can fight their way out of it. They’re a mature and mentally tough group, and I think you saw that today.” Cam Humphrey, who was making his second career start at quarterback, was impressive, completing 21 of 28 passes for 335 yards. He had four passing touchdowns, including three to wide receiver Samori Toure, who had a career day in his return to his hometown. Toure finished with seven catches for 140 yards, including his three scores, which matched his season total entering the day.

Early in the second half, Humphrey found Toure in stride for a 42-yard touchdown to put Montana back on top. He scored again midway through the third quarter on a fade route to the back-right corner of the end zone, jumping above his defender’s reach. One of the most impressive plays, though, came on the first play of the fourth quarter, when Humphrey hit Samuel Akem at midfield before the wide receiver sped past two defenders and into the end zone for a 76-yard score. Akem joined Toure above the century mark, finishing with three catches for 104 yards. On the ground, running back Marcus Knight also reached triple digits with 23 carries for 106 yards, including a 45-yard touchdown run 5 minutes into the contest. Three defenders had at least eight tackles, led by Robby Hauck’s 10 (seven solo). Jace Lewis had nine tackles, including three of the Grizzlies’ five sacks, while Oregon native Dante Olson had eight tackles, a half-sack, a pass breakup and a near-fumble recovery late in the game.

MONTANA OVERCOMES EARLY ERRORS TO BEAT IDAHOAnother early deficit, another large win at home. Saturdays inside Washington-Grizzly Stadium have fol-lowed a pretty familiar script this season, and that trend continued in a 42-17 win against Idaho. The details were a little different this time around, but the No. 6 Grizzlies scored 28 unanswered points in three quarters after facing a double-digit deficit early en route to the win. It is the 10th win in the last 12 meetings between the Vandals and Grizzlies and improved Montana to 2-0 against Idaho since it returned to the Big Sky. Montana also retained ownership of the Little Brown Stein and moved to 8-2 on the season in the process. The win improves their postseason chances dramatically as Montana now prepares to face off against a pair of top-25 teams in its final two games of the season. “It was a good hard-fought win for our team. Our defense held the rope for us,” Head Coach Bobby Hauck said. “We were struggling on offense. With the three turnovers in the first quarter, we were lucky to not be down 28-0 or something, and after we got that fixed, we played really well in all three phases. It was a great win for us.” Montana received a breakout performance by true freshman Nick Ostmo, who ran for the first two touch-downs of his career. His fellow running back Marcus Knight had a trio of touchdowns, as the running game was limited in yardage but not in impact. The most important moment of the game came on Montana’s first drive of the second quarter when starting quarterback Dalton Sneed took the field for the first time since being injured on Oct. 19. Sneed’s return fired up the crowd, and quickly paid dividends. After Montana’s offense had turned the ball over three times in its first three drives, Sneed led the Griz to a touchdown that flipped the momentum of the game. The emotion was evident in the senior quarterback, who summed up how he felt about returning to the field following the game.

As a team, they would go on to score 28 straight points and close the game on a 42-10 run. It was the latest comeback for a Griz team that has made a living in the second half this year. The Grizzlies outscored the Vandals by 21 in the second half on Saturday, bringing their season-long point differential in the second half to +154. “I’m proud of our guys because we weathered the storm and then won going away,” Hauck said. “They have a game bunch, but I think we have a pretty good football team.” In his return, Sneed threw for 241 yards and a touchdown to lead the Grizzlies to the win. He fed the hot hand of Samori Toure, who had nine catches for 129 yards and a touchdown. In the last two games, Toure has 16 catches for 269 yards and four scores. The Grizzly defense locked up Idaho’s offense for most of the game. After the Vandals scored on two of their first four drives of the game, Montana allowed just one score over the final eight drives of the game. They also flipped the story in the turnover game. Montana turned the ball over three times early, but the defense kept working and ended up forcing Idaho into four turnovers of their own. Jesse Sims and Milton Mamula each forced a fumble, while Dante Olson and Patrick O’Connell fell on top of them. Joe Babros and Nash Fouch each added an interception as well, as Montana fought their way back and won the turnover battle.
