The University of Montana Washington Grizzly Stadium on Campus

University (Main) Hall he University of Montana was the state’s first college. Char tered on February 17, 1893, the school opened its doors to its first 50 students in what is now called University Hall. More than 100 years later, The University of Montana Missoula is the center of liberal arts education and research in the state. The school has gone through numerous changes over the years. In 1913 the school was renamed the State University of Montana, and in 1935, it was renamed Montana State University. It wasn’t until 1965 that the institution recaptured its original name, The University of Montana. In 1988 Western Montana College in Dillon became part of UM, and in 1994, the Montana Board of Regents approved a re structuring plan to create two universities within the Montana Univer sity System. Today The University of Montana encompasses four cam puses: The University of Montana Western, Montana Tech in Butte, Helena College of Technology in Helena, and The University of Mon tana College of Technology in Missoula. The University of Montana provides a high-quality, well-rounded education to students and a wide range of services to Montanans. UM is a major source of research, continuing education, economic devel opment, fine arts and entertainment, and serves as a driving force in strengthening Montana’s ties with countries throughout the world. UM’s Missoula campus comprises the College of Arts and Sci ences, the Graduate School, the Davidson Honors College, the Col lege of Technology, and seven professional schools: business admin istration, education, fine arts, forestry, journalism, law, and pharmacy and allied health sciences. The University of Montana also has an ex cellent physical therapy department and offers two-year programs in business, trades and industry, and technical and health occupations. UM continues to grow with 12,413 students. The student body is 52 percent female and 48 percent male. Last year Montana enrolled 215 foreign students from 60 countries. Located at the base of Mount Sentinel and on the bank of the Clark Fork River, the 200-acre campus is one of the most beautiful in the nation. Campus life offers a variety of choices for the UM student. Dormi tory living provides nine halls with various options on campus. Elrod Hall is the male dorm; Turner Hall is the female dorm; and Aber, Craig, Duniway, Jesse, Miller, and Knowles halls are co-ed. Pantzer Hall, which provides four-person suites, was completed in 1995. Family housing

can be found just three blocks south of the main campus in University Villages and Toole Village. Students interested in the Greek life have four sororities and seven fraternities from which to choose. The University of Montana has a nine-hole golf course, located just south of the main campus. The Grizzly Pool is a seve'n-lane, 25-yard indoor swimming pool which features numerous classes and programs and has been recently upgraded. The Recreation Annex, adjacent to the Adams Center, has undergone a major renovation. It will be fin ished in the fall of 2001 and will provide students with three levels of state-of-the-art exercise equipment, racquetball, handball and basket ball courts, and a two-story glass enclosed climbing wall, “the wall with a view.” The Outdoor Program provides opportunities for the campus com munity to participate in recreational activities such as rafting, kayaking, climbing, hiking, backpacking and skiing. UM owns and operates Lubrecht Experimental Forest, a 28,000acre teaching and research forest. Located approximately 30 miles northeast of Missoula, Lubrecht Forest provides the opportunity for stu dents to learn tree thinning and harvesting techniques in addition to forest and ecological projects. The Flathead Lake Biological Station, located at Yellow Bay on the east side of the lake, is a year-round research facility and academic center for the ecological sciences. The freshwater research laboratory encompasses 80 acres. UM also has had 47 international Fulbright Scholars, eight Truman Scholars and five Goldwater Scholars. The University was listed among the top 25 universities and col leges in the nation for Peace Corps recruiting, was named one of the nation’s best paddling colleges in Paddler magazine and is profiled in America’s 100 Best College Buys and Barron’s Best Buys in College Education.

The University

of Montana

Grizzly Athletics he University of Montana offers 14 intercollegiate athletic programs for student-athletes in football, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, soccer and golf, men’s and women’s cross country, tennis, and both in door and outdoor track & field. Montana is a charter (1963) member of the Big Sky Conference, which consists of eight teams: Cal State-Sacramento, Eastern Wash ington, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Port land State and Weber State. The Montana Grizzlies have always been a force to reckon with, particularly in the revenue sports. The Grizzly football team has had unprecedented success in the 1990s, winning the 1995 NCAA Divi sion l-AA National Football Championship title and advancing to the title game again in 1996. UM began the new millennium by advancing to the national championship in 2000 and set a conference record by making its eighth straight appearance in the playoffs. Montana had an unprecedented eight football players earn AllAmerican honors last season: Calvin Coleman, Jimmy Farris, Yohance Flumphery, Vince Fluntsberger, Etu Molden, Andy Petek, Matt Steinau, and Thatcher Szalay. Petek was the runner-up for the 2000 Buck Buchanan Award (Outstanding Division l-AA defensive player) and chosen the Big Sky Conference’s defensive MVP Huntsberger was the 1999 Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year. Montana has ranked among the l-AA leaders in attendance, and 2000 was no exception, as the Griz averaged 19,157 fans in six regular-season home games, which ranked them seventh in the nation. The Grizzly basketball team has posted 22 winning seasons in the past 24 years. Forwards Jared Buckmaster and Dan Trammel were both honorable mention all-conference selections following the 20002001 season. Montana has advanced to the NCAA tournament four times in school history and three times in the 1990s. The Griz own four Big Sky trophies, including back-to-back titles in 1991 and 1992. The Lady Griz basketball team recorded its 20th 20-win season in the past 21 years, going 21-9 and advancing to the final game of the Big Sky tournament. The Lady Griz have won 14 Big Sky titles and advanced to the NCAA tournament 14 times. Lady Griz head coach Robin Selvig (UM, 1974), who played hoops for the Griz, has a 23-year record of 536-148. In 1999-2000 he be came the seventh coach in NCAA Division I women’s basketball to win 500 games at one school. Senior forwards Lauren Cooper and Linda Cummings were named to the All-Conference first team, and Linda Cummings was named to the All-District second team. Lauren Cooper had her 200th 3-pointer at the final game of the season, breaking the conference’s 3-point field record. The Lady Griz basketball team was ranked 27th in the nation in attendance last season with an average of 3,449 fans and has been among the top 20 for 16 of the past 17 years. In 2000, the Lady Griz volleyball team went 16-14 under first-year head coach Nikki Best and advanced to the Big Sky Conference Championships once again. Montana has made it to the conference tourney 11 times in the 13-year history of the tournament, and the Lady Griz qualified for the Mountain West Conference’s post-season tourney all six years of its existence prior to joining the Big Sky. The women’s soccer team has gone 93-40-4 since Betsy Duerksen began UM’s inaugural program as the head coach seven seasons

ago. Duerksen guided the Grizzlies to a 16-5-1 record in 2000 and a Big Sky title once again. For the second consecutive year, Montana advanced to the NCAA Championship, advancing to the second round of the tournament and losing to second-seed Washington in Seattle. Five players made it to the first and second All-Conference teams, while senior Jodi Campbell was named the offensive MVR and freshman Amy Wronski was named the Top Newcomer. Coach Kris Nord led the men’s and women’s tennis teams to the Big Sky Championships, where they faced tough competition from the Big Sky Conference. Junior Sarah Blain had an outstanding year, going 12-4 on the season and leading the Lady Griz as they won their last seven dual matches of the season. The Lady Griz golf coach, Joanne Steele, has consistently put together competive teams for the past five years. This past year the Lady Griz won the Montana State Invitational and placed second in the Boise State Tournament. The Grizzly cross country women and men’s teams finished the conference second and third, respectively. Sabrina Monro and Brad Treat were both named to the women’s and men’s All-Conference teams. Monro earned All-America honors as she finished second at the NCAA Division I championships. The Montana track & field teams had a solid 2001 season, with coach Tom Raunig and his assistants sending 34 athletes to the Big Sky championships. The Griz had three NCAA qualifiers for the in door season: Sabrina Monro, 3,000 meters; Heather Anderson, 5,000 meters; and Suzanne Krings, pole vault. Adam Bork earned AllAmerica honors by placing in the decathlon. He became UM’s sec ond All-America decathlete in three years. Athletic facilities at The University of Montana have improved dra matically over the last few years. The most recent addition is a 14.3million dollar renovation to the field house, which created the new Adams Center. The Adams Center features two new auxiliary gyms, a major facelift for Dahlberg Arena, a new weight center, an athletic treatment center, lockerrooms, and an academic center for studentathletes. Washington-Grizzly football stadium was completed in 1986. In 1995, endzone seating was added to accommodate a total of 18,845 fans. Dornblaser Stadium, located on the UM south campus, is going through a complete refurbishing and will soon be one of the nicest outdoor track facilities in the Big Sky Conference. UM’s South Campus Soccer Stadium was completed in 1996 and features a fully fenced venue, scoreboard, remodeled locker rooms, and seating for 1,000. The University also has its own golf course, several soccer fields, and a newly remodeled swimming pool. A rennovated Campus Rec reation facility, which is adjacent to Adams Center, will open in the fall of 2001. It will feature racquet and basketball courts, aerobic/ cardio-vascular workout rooms, expanded weight room, locker rooms, a climbing wall, juice bar and daycare. The new facility will be located on four floors. Grizzly athletes receive outstanding support services in the areas of academics, athletic treatment, equipment, financial aid, and sports information.

Grizzly Administration President George Dennison eorge Dennison, the 16th president of The University of Montana, begins his 12th year at the University. He served on the NCAA Di vision I Board of Directors from 1997-2000, and chaired the Big Sky Conference Presidents’ Council in 1992-93. Dennison came to UM from Kalamazoo, Mich., where he served as the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs of Western Michigan University from 1987-90. In earlier years, he spent time at the Universities of Arkansas and Washington prior to 18 years at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. At Colorado State, he started as a history professor then served in numerous other positions. He simultaneously held the positions of Asso ciate Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences and Associate Dean of the Graduate School for International Development Studies. He also served as Acting Academic Vice President, Associate

Academic Vice President and Director of Admissions and Records. An historian by training, Dennison received his Bachelor’s Degree with high honors in history from UM in 1962. He received his Master’s Degree from UM in 1963, then earned his Ph.D. in history from the University of Washington in 1967. He has written numerous publications and made sev eral professional presentations in both history and higher education. Dennison serves on several boards. He chairs the Montana Commis sion on Community Service and serves on the Board of the International Heart Institute of Montana, the Community Medical Center Advisory Com mittee, the Campus Compact Executive Committee, the Board of Direc tors of the International Student Exchange Program, the Steering Commit tee for America Reads/America Counts, and the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation. George and his wife, Jane, have two sons, Rick and Robert. Rick played college football at Colorado State then joined the Denver Broncos. He played linebacker for Denver for nine years and now serves as special teams coach. Robert teaches math and computer programming in Tecumseh, Kansas, and coaches football, wrestling, and track. The Dennisons have four grandchildren.

Athletic Director Wayne Hogan nprecedented growth and expansion have been the hallmarks of Athletic Director Wayne Hogan’s tenure at The University of Montana. Serving as UM’s 14th director of athletics, Hogan is in his sixth year with the Grizzlies. The success of the Montana program comes as no surprise to those who have followed Hogan’s 24 years in the field of inter collegiate athletics. In his association with three collegiate programs, the 45-year-old Hogan has known only victories and championships. He had the rare opportunity to join the Montana program just as the 1995 Grizzlies be gan their immortal drive to the l-AA Football National Championship, winning their last eight games en route to the title — and then 14 straight games in 1996. All of this came on the heels of a l-A football national title in 1994 while Hogan was serving at his alma mater, Florida State University, where he spent 18 years in various athletic depart ment capacities. At Florida State, Hogan played an integral role in that program’s rise from relative mediocrity in the 70’s to one of the nation’s premier athletic programs today. Along the way he filled almost every conceivable role, from a volunteer student intern in 1974 to director of athletics in 1994. Dur ing that time the Seminoles won 190 football games and 14 of 16 bowl games, joined the Atlantic Coast Conference and saw its basketball teams reach the Sweet 16 and the Elite 8 during the 90’s. Since his arrival at Montana the football program has won 58 of 72 games, five Big Sky Conference Championships and has appeared in the l-AA playoffs every year. The Grizzlies won a national championship in 1995 and have appeared in the national title game an unprecedented three times in Hogan’s six years at the helm. Amazingly, the three title appearances were orchestrated by three different head coaches. Perhaps the defining moment of Hogan’s tenure occurred both in 1996 and 1999 when both men s and women’s basketball teams won league championships along with football. A sweep of those three championships in a single year had never before been achieved in the 35-year history of the conference. With a knack for marketing and communications, Hogan’s contributions probably are best tallied by looking at the numbers. Attendance is up dra matically across the board. In' football, season ticket sales, just 6,500 in 1995, topped 12,500 again this year. This provided a complete preseason sellout of Washington-Grizzly Stadium as the new century was ushered in. Average attendance is up from 11,000 at his arrival to better than 19,000. Annual giving is up by more than $200,000, and corporate sponsorships have also seen a six-digit increase. Hogan has also fostered the University’s

royalty program which has seen revenues on licensed products jump from $20,000 to well over $100,000. In all, revenue generated by his department has grown from $2.8 million in 1995 to a projected $4.4 million this year. Clearly, Hogan’s most visible role has been the undertaking of a $14.7 million facility project which has converted the antiquated Harry Adams Field House into the sparkling new Adams Center. In addition to transforming the old gymnasium into a true modern-day basketball arena, the project has given Grizzly athletics a roadway to the future. Included in the project are a massive indoor practice and volleyball game facility, a new double-the-size weight-training facility, a new and expanded medical treatment facility, an academic center for student-athletes and remodeled equipment and locker rooms. The crowning jewel of the project is the new John C. Hoyt Athletic Office Complex. UM recently received a gift totaling more the $600,000 from the late Mr. Hoyt, a longtime UM supporter. In addition, UM recently received a $1,000,000 gift for improvements at Washington Grizzly football stadium, including a state-of-the-art synthetic grass playing surface. Another Grizzly donor has committed nearly $500,000 for improvements at the University’s track. These gifts have pushed a cur rent fund-raising blitz to more than $3 million in the last 18 months. These are just a few examples of Hogan’s aggressive style that has the Grizzly program on the move. Somewhat behind the scenes, Montana has received its NCAA certification, satisfied numerous gender equity concerns including the complete equalization of recruiting, travel and equipment bud gets, attacked a number of salary inequities and reorganized staff duties and responsibilities.

“Work is the name of the game for coach Germer. We know his charges will be schooled to the hilt when it comes to offensive line play. Chad is a master technician and takes great pride in putting a great product on the field. You will not out-work Chad Germer, and his players will compete to the echo of the whistle, just as he did as a former Grizzly All-American center. “Chad, to me, is a coach who takes tremendous pride in his work. He is very conscientious and is improving day after day. The little things are important to him. He is very competitive, and he coaches that way. Again, his players understand his desire to be the best and to do things right. I think that says a lot about him as a coach. ” —Joe Glenn

OUTLOOK 2001:

Griz Vying for 9th Straight Playoff Berth here are some maj or holes to but the 2001 University of Montana Grizzly football team will likely once again be picked as the team to beat in the Big Sky C o n fe re n ce and be among Di vision l-AA’s topranked te am s in the pre-season. That’s the way it is when you finish 13-2, win your fifth conference title in six years, and make it to the l-AA playoffs for an un precedented eight straight seasons. There’s also the fact that the Griz have played in the l-AA cham pionship game three times in the past six seasons. Equally as impressive, and something that points to Montana’s consistency the past several years, is that it has been ranked in Division l-AA’s top 25 all but three weeks over the past 110 weeks. Montana’s two losses a year ago were by a total of three points. After opening the year with a rare 10-9 home setback to nation ally ranked Hofstra, the Griz reeled off 13 wins in a row and went 8-0 en route to the Big Sky crown. A late touchdown by Georgia Southern prevented Montana from winning its second champion ship, the Eagles edging the Griz 27-25. Montana has played in the national championship contest twice before: in 1995, winning 22-20 at Marshall, and a year later, losing 49-20 to the Randy Moss-led and host Thundering Herd. Montana’s success was reflected in its attendance in 2000, as a record 19,157 fans per game showed up, ranking the Griz sev enth in Division l-AA. Gone from that 13-win team ’s offense is two-time All-American quarterback Drew Miller, who passed for 2,439 yards and 14 touch downs in an injury-plagued senior season. All-league receivers Jimmy Farris and Tanner Hancock, who accounted for almost 100 catches and 14 TDs a year ago, also graduated, as did linemen Kamakana Kaimuloa, Leif Thorsen, and Matt Thuesen — all threeyear starters. Defensively, the Griz need to replace their entire front four which consisted of ends Justin Brannon, Andy Petek and tackles Tyler Martin, Corey Mertes. Petek was chosen the Big Sky’s defensive MVP and had a school-record 20 sacks and 27 stops for losses. Also lost to graduation were all-conference selections Adam Boomer at linebacker and Damon Parker at cornerback.

Both Montana’s offense and defense were ranked among the nation’s leaders a year ago. The defense was ranked eighth in the country overall (allowing 265.0 yards a game) and it was second against the rush, giving up a paltry 76.6 yards per contest. On offense the team was 15th overall, gaining 445.9 a game and sixth in passing at 313.0 yards an outing. UM was also among the national leaders in kickoff returns with 23.18 a carry, which ranked them fifth. But, this season the cupboard is not exactly bare. UM returns 14 players with at least half-time starting experience, along with 40 lettermen. There are three senior returnees on offense who are being touted as All-American candidates. That trio includes Montana’s all-time rusher Yohance Humphery, wide receiver Etu Molden, and guard Thatcher Szalay. Humphery begins the 2001 campaign with a school-best 2,412 yards, and his 174 career points are the seventh most ever. Molden had a team-high 56 catches last season. Szalay has been a two-time first team All-Big Sky pick and was named to several All-American teams last year. Other returning starters on offense are seniors T.J. Oelkers at wide receiver and Spencer Frederick at tight end. Also back are part-time O-line starters Dylan McFarland, Brian Pelc, and Jon Skinner, and quarterback John Edwards. Except for the graduated Parker, the secondary is intact, with all-leaguers Vince Huntsberger and Trey Young back at the safety slots, along with cornerback Calvin Coleman. Coleman and Huntsberger are both All-American candidates. Linebacker Matt Steinau, another all-conference pick, also re turns, as does fellow senior starter Dan DeCoite and his younger brother and part-time starter Dave DeCoite, a sophomore, who was moved from linebacker to safety last spring. Sophomore kicker Chris Snyder is also back. “I think we have a very strong football team this year and an outstanding senior class,” said Head Coach Joe Glenn, the 2000 Eddie Robinson Award recipient and Big Sky Coach of the Year. “We have great leadership and great talent on both sides of the football. “We’ve got some guys who we can count on who have been through the battles and are returning,” Glenn said. “ I think that they can take this team to the next level. We have one more hurdle to clear. After interviewing every player after spring practice I don’t think there is any doubt what their goal is. They want to go back to Chattanooga (Tenn., site of the l-AA championship game) and get it right. We need to stay healthy, work hard, and stay together, and if we can do that, I think that it’s a very attainable goal.”

THE OFFENSE Q uarterback: Edwards (6-1, 200) went 3-0 as a starter last season (he started against Northern Arizona, at Portland State, and vs. Montana State). He passed for 997 yards and 9 touch downs. Fellow junior Brandon Neill (6-3, 215), a transfer from the University of Wyoming, is vying for the starting job. UM signed

Sophomore Branden Malcom (5-10, 175) “had a good spring Juniors Randyn A kio na (6 -0,180), Brock Sunderland (5-8,165), and continues to improve,” Glenn said. “He just needs to get big and Rory Zikmund (5-10,185) are all expected to contribute. Also ger and get stronger, but it looks like he's ready to play.” vying for playing time are sophomores Brent Meyers (6-1, 180) and Dane Oliver (5-9, 165). Freshman Tate Hancock (5-10,170), who is recovering from a shoulder injury, has moved from running back to wide receiver. The Griz signed five promising prep receivers and two or three could be factors this year. “ Etu will be featured outside, and he’s got all of the tools, and I look for him to have a tremendous season,” Glenn said. “T.J. is an experienced and gritty receiver who we will count on inside. I felt we had good springs from Randyn Akiona and Rory Zikmund. We’ve got quite a few guys there who we need to find out what they can do in game situations.” Tight end: Frederick and fellow senior John Fitzgerald (6-2, 230) are a steady duo at tight end. Frederick was a second team All-Big Sky pick a year ago when he had 17 catches. Unfortunately the Griz lost talented freshman Conor Molloy (65, 225) to a knee injury in the spring, and he is out for the season. Sophomore Brad Weston (6-1, 220) had a solid spring. “We think Spencer is as rugged and physical as any tight end in America,” Glenn said. “ He’s strong and runs a 4.7 in the 40. Look for him to be more of a factor in our passing game. ‘Fitzy’ is your consummate football player who we can always count on. Brad made the transition from linebacker to our fullback/tight end cat egory and he will help us there and on special team s.” Sophomore kicker/punter Chris Snyder (Geoffrey Sutton photo)

2001 THE DEFENSE D efensive Line: The starters are gone, but experience returns at end. He’s just a sophomore, but big things are expected from sophomore Ciche Pitcher (6-4, 225). Also back at the end spots are junior Herbert Fernandez (6-4, 225) and sophomore Tim Bush (6-3, 240), who both had valuable experience last season. Junior Ike Mincy (6-2, 220) was moved from linebacker and had a pro ductive spring. “We’ve got quality and depth at end, and we expect all four of those players to help us,” Glenn said. Junior Curt Colter (6-2, 285), who missed spring drills with an injury, is a veteran at tackle. Senior Jason Francis (6-2,250) should also contribute. “There’s still some real competition at the tackle spots,” Glenn said. “What may prove to be a real strength for us is that we may be able to play a lot of different players. We made some real strides with our young guys in the spring. I expect the defensive line to be a real strength for us.” The “young guys” Glenn refers to are redshirt freshmen John Cahill (6-2, 250), Blake Horgan (6-3, 260), and Jonny Varona (63, 270). Linebacker: Steinau (6-1, 220) was an all-league choice last year at outside linebacker and is UM’s third leading returning tack ier with 61 stops. Sophomore Andy Thompson (6-3, 215) was moved from quarterback to linebacker, and he had an excellent spring. Junior Jacob Yoro missed last season due to injury, but he and Steinau split starting duties in 1999. “Outside, Steinau is a proven guy for us, and we hope Jacob Yoro can come back off his injury and help,” Glenn said. “Andy’s move to linebacker has been a good one for us. He’s very athletic and made plays there in the spring.” At inside linebacker, Dan DeCoite (6-1, 240), the team ’s fifth leading returning tackier (33 stops), also missed spring drills be cause of an injury but is expected to be at 100 percent. Senior Dan Orizotti (5-11, 220) is a proven veteran, while sophomore Joel Robinson (5-11, 240) is a young linebacker who should con tribute. “We have three guys inside who can play, and we look for se niors Steinau, DeCoite and Orizotti to lead the charge,” Glenn said. S econdary: The three returning starters at defensive back, Coleman, Huntsberger, and Young, were all-league selections. Huntsberger (6-0, 190) had a team-high 106 tackles a year ago, while Young (6-0, 185, Jr.) and Coleman (5-10, 189) were ranked fourth and sixth with 63 and 54 stops, respectively. Coleman, a senior, is the incumbent at weak corner. Junior Joel Rosenberg (5-10, 185) ended spring drills as the starter at strong corner, although junior college transfer Johnnie Peeples (5-10,180) was pushing him. Junior Demetrious Williams (5-11, 193) and so ph om ore Vernon Smith (6-1, 175) add q uality depth at cornerback. “Calvin is a bonafide All-American candidate for us,” Glenn said. “We feel awesome about our safeties. Vince Huntsberger is a fierce competitor and a super leader for us. He’s the kind of guy you win championships with. Trey really came on for us last year. We are talented in the secondary, and that should be another strength for our football team .” A couple of sophomores, Dave DeCoite (6-1, 185) and Kyle Scholle (6-2, 200), will see action at safety as well.

Special Teams: Snyder (6-0, 190) made 13-of-21 field goals last year, including a career-long 52-yarder at Portland State. JC transfer Mark Spencer (6-5, 180) emerged as UM’s punter after spring drills. Oelkers, Molden, Peeples, and Sunderland can all return punts. Akiona, Molden, Zikmund, and Hancock may return kickoffs.

NON-LEAGUE SCHEDULE The Griz begin the season at l-AA Independent Cal Poly and then play on Maui against Division l-A Hawai’i. That is followed by l-Afoe, Idaho, in Montana’s 2001 home opener. A week later UM hosts Western Washington. “The logistics of it all makes it kind of tough,” Glenn said. “There’s a lot of travel that first couple of weeks. Cal Poly returns a veteran team. Hawai’i is a good football team that suffered a lot of injuries last year, especially on the defensive side of the foot ball. Then you turn around and play Idaho, a team that had one of the top offenses in the nation last year. It will be a real challenge.”

BIG SKY CONFERENCE The Griz begin defense of their league crown at home against always dangerous Eastern Washington. Other conference home games feature Portland State and Weber State. League road con tests are at Sac State, Northern Arizona, Idaho State, and Mon tana State. “Sac State is making a move in the Big Sky,” Glenn said. “ Idaho State ended last season with a win over Utah State and played us very tough. I look for Montana State to be much improved. East ern Washington always has a strong program. Portland State lost a lot to graduation, but went to the junior college ranks for help. Weber State was probably the most improved team in the league last year. NAU is a very talented team year in and year out. The league will just be a battle with a lot of good teams in it. It will be a lot of fun.”

W alter Payton Award/All-American C andidate Yohance Humphery 5-11, 190, 3V Senior Running Back from Eagle River, Alaska

ohance begins his senior year as Montana’s ali-time rusher with 2,412 yards. He needs 651 yards to move into the Big Sky Conference’s top 10 career rushing yards list.

Despite missing three-plus games last year due to a hamstring injury that he suffered at Eastern Washington, “Yo” gained 883 yards — the eighth most in Griz single-season his tory. He was a second team all-league pick in 2000. Last year he rushed for 100 yards or more four times. After miss ing three contests with the injury, he returned for the Portland State game in Hillsboro, carrying the ball a school-record 37 times, and rushing for a personal best 194 yards. Two weeks after the PSU game he broke his yardage standard with 197 yards and tied his own mark with 37 carries in a crucial win at Weber State. “Yo is the featured guy in our offense this year,” said UM Head Coach Joe Glenn. “Certainly we’re going to throw the ball as we always have, but in a one back attack he is the kind of guy you need. “He looked like he had more strength and more speed in the spring, and he’s got a great attitude,” Glenn said. “He’s working toward being an All-American. I picture Yo having a tremendous sea son, and I think 2,000 yards (rushing) is attainable for him if he stays healthy. Because of his ability, a great offensive line, and a new play ing surface for him to run on, I look for Yo to have a banner year.” In four playoff games (playoff stats are not counted by the NCAA in career totals) last season he rushed for 365 yards and five TDs and caught 13 passes. In the title game in Chattanooga, Tenn., he had 26 carries for 119 yards and a score and caught seven passes. Humphery’s 29 career touchdowns (26 rushing, three receiving) are the second most in school history, trailing “Wild” Bill Kelly, who scored 31 from 1924-26. His 174 career points rank him seventh (tie) at UM. He had a record-breaking sophomore season, gaining 1,277 yards and scoring 15 rushing touchdowns. His 1,277 rush yards in ‘99 broke a mark set 28 seasons earlier, when Steve Caputo gained 1,253 in 1971. Humphery’s 15 scoring runs broke the record of 14 set by Griz quarterback Dave Dickenson in 1993. His 116.09 yards rushing a game in ‘99 ranked him 23rd in Divi sion l-AA and fourth in the league. He has been chosen an honorable mention All-American by Don Hansen’s Football Gazette the past two seasons. In ‘99 he rushed for over 100 yards in 7 of 11 games, including five in a row. Those 100-yard games were: Sacramento State (167); at Portland State (150); Northridge (158); at Northern Arizona (111); Eastern Washington (162); at Idaho State (103); and at Montana State (145).

He was thrown into the lineup when senior Kam akana Kaimuloa was injured at Eastern Washington, Sept. 30 last sea son.

Last season the Griz also led the league in total offense and were 15th in the nation in that cat egory (455.9 yards a game). ‘Jon, as his fellow offensive linemen, just doesn’t get enough credit,” said Montana Head Coach Joe Glenn. “When people see the back run through this gaping hole, or you see the quar terback having time to throw, it’s just so critical to have athletes who can pass protect and also dominate against the run. Jon is one of those kind of guys. “He’s so big, so athletic, and so competitive,” Glenn said. “He is a force at his position. Jon and Dylan (McFarland) just get better every game. ‘Jon just needs to polish up some little things, and he’ll be come a better football player practice in and practice out,” Glenn said. “ He is an excellent football player, and he’ll continue to be a force for us.” Skinner was a three-sport letterman at Beaverhead County High School in Dillon. He lettered three times in both football and track and two times in basketball. “Skinny” was an all-state selection at offensive tackle as a senior and a two-time all-conference pick.

He made 3-of-4 field goals in the playoffs, with a long of 32 yards (against Eastern Illinois). ■ : ,v :I “Chris Snyder is a player we like to use in our offense,” said Griz Head Coach Joe Glenn. “When you have a high octane type of offense like we do, your kicker is going to get plenty of opportunities. He came through with flying colors as a fresh man as we thought he would. “Now that he is experienced, we feel like he will improve that much more,” Glenn said. “ He’s getting stronger and that may translate into kickoffs in the end zone. He’s got great potential, and we expect even a better year from him this season now that he’s had a chance to gain confidence and strength.” He earned six letters at Mt.

He was also an honorable mention All-American pick by Don Hansen’s Football Gazette. Steinau was one of the Grizzlies’ top tacklers in the playoffs last year with 24 stops, including three for losses, and two sacks. He had a 38-yard fumble return for a touchdown in UM’s firstround playoff game against Eastern Illinois. He had played in 22 straight regular-season games but missed the 2000 season opener against Hofstra with a leg injury. “Matt just quietly goes about his work,” said Montana Mentor Joe Glenn. “He’s not a rah-rah, scream-and-holler guy. He’s a sure tackier, and he is always around the football. He’s also a smart player. “He’s an excellent competitor and has a lot of pride in what he does,” Glenn said. “He is very, very capable. You put that all together, and you have an extremely talented linebacker. He is a consistent player for us, and we expect another all-conference type of year from him in, this, his senior season.” As a sophomore he was one of UM’s top tacklers with 35 stops. That season he was one of three players tabbed as UM’s “Outstanding Sophomore.” He was UM's seventh leading tack ier as a redshirt freshman in 1998 with 43 stops.

He played the last six games of the season (counting the playoffs) with a broken thumb he suffered in the Idaho State game. “Trey is coming on, and he’s coming on strong,” said Mon tana Head Coach Joe Glenn. “The more he plays in our de fense and the more that is asked of him the better he gets. “He’s got the ability to come up and make a tough tackle, and, yet, he has the athleticism to stay deep and make plays and run with receivers down field,” Glenn said. “ It takes a spe cial kind of athlete to do both, and Trey is a special kind of ath lete. He's got good strength and good speed, and he is crafty. “He understands the game, he hustles, he takes good angles, and he’s a big hitter for his size,” Glenn said. “He got the whole package for a safety, and, again, he gets better with every rep.” He prepped at Helix High School, where he earned four let ters: two each in football and wrestling. He was a two-time all conference pick at safety and participated in San Diego’s NorthSouth All-Star Game. He was also an All-District choice in foot ball. Trey’s junior football team won the conference championship. He served as team captain in football his senior year, when he averaged nine tackles a game.

he 2001-2002 athletic season marks the 39th year of the Big Sky Conference and, although still youthful in the world of NCAA Division I athletic conferences, The Sky has solidified itself as one of the strongest leagues in the West as well as the nation. This year will also see the conference with one team less; Cal State Northridge en tered the conference in 1996 and left it in the spring of 2001. With its roots established in 1963, the Big Sky Conference began with six charter members: The University of Idaho, Idaho State University, Gonzaga University, The University of Mon tana, Montana State University and Weber State University. On July 1, 1970, the league experienced its first expansion, adding Boise State University and Northern Arizona University to the fold to create an eight-member league. On July 1,1979, charter member Gonzaga left the league and was replaced by the University of Nevada. In 1987, Eastern Washington was ad mitted to the league to create the first version of a nine-mem ber Big Sky Conference. The University of Nevada’s departure in 1992 moved the league to eight members until July 1, 1996 when both Boise State and Idaho left the Big Sky, but the three additional institutions moved the league into a nine-member scenario for the second time. The Big Sky conference sponsors championships in 15 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, golf, bas ketball, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, in addition to football, women’s volleyball and soccer. The Big Sky is a NCAA Division I member in all sports, with member institutions classified as l-AA in football. The 2000-2001 athletic season also marks the twelfth year in which the Big Conference will sponsor championships in women’s sports. Twelve years ago the Big Sky Conference merged with the Mountain West Athletic Conference, forming one league for both men’s and women's athletics. The Moun tain West had been in existence since 1982, sponsoring cham

pionships for women’s athletics at the same institutions the Big Sky had sponsored men’s programs. The eight Big Sky Conference member institutions are lo cated in seven states that span from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountains and from the Canadian to the Mexican bor ders. The entire west coast is now represented by the Big Sky with members in Washington, Oregon and California, and of the eight western-most states in the contiguous United States, only one (Nevada) does not contain a Big Sky member. League members can be found in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Utah. The name BIG SKY originated in a novel written in 1947 by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., entitled Big Sky.Jack Hollowell, former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State, and Harry Missildine of the Spokane (Wash.) called for the newly formed league to be named “The Big Sky Confer ence” in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963. Five days later, on Feb. 25, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the newly formed league. On July 1, 1995, Doug Fullerton became the fifth commis sioner of the Big Sky Conference and was given the reins to lead the league into the changing world of intercollegiate ath letics. Fullerton replaced longtim e co m m issio n e r Ron Stephenson, who retired after 14 years in the position. The first commissioner of the Big Sky was Jack Friel, who served from the league’s inception until 1971. After Friel, John Roning di rected the conference for six years until 1977 when Steve Belko assumed the commissioner's role. Belko was with league for five years.

Montana footfwll

Washington Grizzly Stadium his will be the 16th season Washington Grizzly Stadium has been home for The University of Montana Grizzly football team. Last season Montana drew a stadium-record 114,943 fans for six regular-season home games — averaging an unprecedented 19,157 fans a game, which ranked the Grizzlies sev enth in the nation (Division l-AA) in attendance. The Griz began playing in Washington Grizzly Stadium midway through the 1986 season, and they have since compiled a mark of 8813 — a lofty .871 winning percentage. Montana has won 58 of its last 64 games played in Washington Grizzly Stadium, dating back to the middle of the 1992 season — a .906 winning percentage. Montana reeled off 30 straight victories beginning at the start of the 1994 season to Oct. of 1997. That win skein is the fourth longest home winning streak in Division l-AA history. The first game played in the stadium was on October 18,1986, the Grizzlies registering a 38-31 come-from-behind win over Idaho State. The long-time dream of an on-campus football facility was initiated in August of 1985, as Missoula businessman Dennis R. Washington and the employees of Washington Corporations provided a gift of $1 million. Four months after Washington’s donation, in December of 1985, excavation crews began work. In recognition of the gift by Wash ington and his company, UM’s new facility was named Washington Grizzly Stadium. The natural-grass stadium will give way to SprinTurf for the 2001 season. A million dollars was given by an anonymous donor for the new playing surface. The stadium was expanded to “capacity” of 18,845 in the spring of 1995, as end zone seating was added on both the north and south sides. Prior to that there were 12,500 permanent seats. When the grass end zones were available, the capacity was approximately 15,000. The stadium excavation consisted of moving 70,000 cubic yards of dirt, which places the stadium playing surface about 20 feet below ground level. An estimated 4,500 yards of concrete were poured in the project. The field area inside the stadium is 182 feet wide and 402 feet from end-to-end. In conjunction with the building of the stadium, additional parking and practice fields were built. The Grizzlies are able to practice on the campus on an area which has the dimensions of four, full-size football fields. A 200-space parking lot south of the stadium was also added. At the peak of construction there were 180 craftsmen employed and 27 contractors, 24 of whom were from the state of Montana. There are 48 private boxes located on the east and west sides of the stadium. They are individually decorated and furnished by their respective owners. The press box located above the private boxes on the west side includes radio and television broadcast booths, electronic and print media seating, coaches scouting boxes, a public address booth, and an area for the scoreboard operators. The Missoula Homebuilders Association built the press box, primarily with volunteer labor. Former Montana President Neil Bucklew, former Athletic Director Harley Lewis, and the board of directors of the UM Foundation were all instrumental in the construction of the stadium. Coca-Cola donated the original scoreboard, which was retrofitted and expanded in June of 1996. A new north end zone “mini” score board, which is three feet high and 40 feet long, was added prior to the ‘96 season. A new public address system was added for the 1996 season. The system provides a maximum of 103 decibels at each seat, as well as in each private suite. The expansion also included a 17-foot by 10foot 65,000 full color SoundBurst@message center. The message

center features game statistics, player profiles, statistics, and digital replays during live television broadcasts. In April of 1996 new men's locker rooms housing football, basket ball, track and cross country were completed. The new locker rooms are located below the entry level on the west side of the stadium and cover more than 4,000 square feet. The renovation of Adams Center (formerly called Adams Field House) began in the spring of 1998 and was ready for use for the Griz and Lady Griz 1999-00 basketball seasons. The Center is also used for numerous special events. Also added in renovated Adams Center: a new 7,000 square foot weight room, a 4,500 square foot athletic treatment center, the Jacobson Academic Center and meeting room with big screen videos, new women’s locker rooms covering 4,000 square feet, a 3,200 square foot equipment center, and three new meeting rooms totaling 2,000 square feet along with the John C. Hoyt Office Complex for coaches and staff.

Grizzly Records

and Awards

Grizzly Awards Each year outstanding University of Montana football players are recipients of eight different awards. The Terry DUlon Award, honoring the outstanding back or receiver, was established in 1964 following the accidental death of former Grizzly Terry Dillon. Dillon played defensive and offensive halfback for UM from 1960 to 1962. He started at defensive halfback for the National Football League Minnesota Vikings. The Steve Carlson Award is given to the team’s most valuable player in memory of the former Grizzly football player who died in 1977. Pat Norwood was a four-year starter at offensive tackle for the Grizzlies (1979-82) from Billings who died of cancer in 1983. This award is given to the Most Inspirational Player, who oftentimes had to overcome an injury. The Paul Weskamp Award was established in memory of Paul Weskamp, a tackle on Ed Chinske’s 1954 Grizzly team. The award honors UM’s outstanding lineman and was established by the citizens of Ronan, Montana. The Golden Helmet Award honors the hardest hitter on the team. It was set up on a nationwide basis by the CocaCola Company in 1967. The Larry IVliller Award is given in memory of the great Grizzly lineman and wrestler who competed for UM in 1969 and 1970. Miller died in an automobile accident in 1974. The award honors the team’s outstanding defensive lineman. The Tony Barbour award is given in memory of a Loyal Grizzly Fan. It is presented annually to a UM player, “who best exemplifies outstanding practice habits and makes an unselfish contribution to the betterment of the Grizzly Foot ball Team. Enthusiasm, dedication and commitment are the key factors sought in the person receiving this award.” The Outstanding Linebacker award was inaugurated in 1990 and is given by an anonymous donor.

GAME NOTES: The Griz had just tw o turnovers in this one, but the final, untimely miscue did them in, much to the chagrin of a Washington Grizzly Stadium record crowd of 19,248. Montana took an early lead on its second possession of the game on a 7-play, 76yard march from their own 21, as freshman kicker Chris Snyder booted his first career field goal from 20 yards out. The three points were disappointing for the Griz, however. On that possession, Montana had a second-and-2 from the Hofstra 3-yard line; Drew Miller threw an incomplete pass, and on the next play Yo Humphery was stopped for no gain, and UM had to settle for the field goal. That Snyder field goal was the only scoring of the opening quarter, but the Pride took a 7-3 lead early in the second period, as elusive quarterback Rocky Butler ran it in from 10 yards out. Butler’s scoring run culminated a 16-play, 73-yard Hofstra drive that took 4:40. Neither team mounted another offensive threat, and Hofstra led 7-3 at intermission. It appeared as though the Grizzlies would regain the lead mid-way through the third, as they advanced the ball to the Pride 2-yard line, but Humphery lost the ball, and Hofstra recovered the fumble. The Griz stymied a pair of HU scoring threats in the second half. The first big play was an interception by cornerback Damon Parker, and the second came on a fumble recovery by free safety Jason Miller on a hit by senior tackle Tyler Martin, giving Montana possession on its own 46-yard line. Montana capitalized on Parker’s interception, going 64 yards on seven plays, as senior receiver Jimmy Farris used a key block by junior guard Thatcher Szalay, run ning around the left side fo r a 7-yard touchdown. Snyder’s first PAT attempt was blocked, but there was a penalty on the play, so UM got another shot at it, but that attempt was also blocked. After M iller’s fumble recovery, Miller hit Humphery on a short pass, which he fumbled, and Hofstra took advantage of the turnover, kicking a 40-yard field goal with 46 seconds left for the win. It was Montana’s third straight loss at home - all three of those setbacks coming by last-second field goals. It also spoiled the debut of first-year head coach Joe Glenn.

GAME NOTES: This match-up was a track meet, and it took a circus catch by senior wide receiver Jimmy Farris with 19 seconds remaining fo r Montana to pull this one out. Oh, what a difference a week makes. Montana’s mediocre offensive showing of the previous week melted away, as the Grizzlies exploded for 553 yards and six touch downs. This 80th meeting was truly one of the all-time classics in this long-standing rivalry the second oldest for each school, featured 10 lead changes. As last year, when the Vandals won on a last-second field goal, it looked like the team that had the ball last would get the victory. That is almost what happened. With the game tied 38-all, Griz junior strong safety Vince Huntsberger tripped up Ul halfback Willie Alderson for a one-yard loss on a 4th-and-1 situation, giving the Grizzlies the ball on the Idaho 49. On a 3rd-and-18 from its own 43, Montana QB Drew Miller hooked up with Tanner Hancock for a first down to the Idaho 29. UM got to the Ul 7-yard line on a Miller to Farris hook-up, and on next play Farris made a dramatic one-handed grab at the edge of the end zone line for the winning points. Miller had a record day with 505 passing yards and tied his career-high with 5 touchdown throws. Receivers Farris (9-for-149/2 TDs), Hancock (8-127/2), and Etu Molden (7-156/1) had banner performances. Huntsberger tied his career-high with 16 tackles and he had one of three Griz picks. Junior linebacker Matt Steinau had 9 tackles, while senior linebacker Adam Boomer, from American Falls, Idaho, had 8 tackles, an interception, and a sack.

Grizzlies had two nail-biters to start the season. This one wasn’t. Montana dismantled Cal Poly, a Division l-AA Independent, racking up 629 yards, including 307 on the ground. The Griz were just two yards short of three players hitting the 100-yard mark. Senior Ben Drinkwalter passed the century mark with 109 yards. Junior Yohance Humphery had 104 yards, ran for a score, and caught a TD pass. Number three half back Derryl Williams rushed 13 times for 98 yards. Drinkwalter’s 109 yards was a career-high, and he scored his first career touchdown on a 21-yard run in the second quarter and had a 5-yarder late in the game. Senior quarterback Drew Miller threw for 311 yards and 4 touchdowns in a little more than two quarters of action. On their first possession the Grizzlies (2-1) marched 73 yards on five plays, with Miller connecting with Etu Molden on a 17-yard touchdown pass. Cal Poly (0-2) an swered on a 25-yard field goal by Seth Lewis, but those points would be the Mustangs only ones of the game. UM exploded for 29 unanswered points in the second quarter to take a 36-3 halftime lead. The Grizzlies second-quarter surge started on another Miller to Molden hook-up for 13 yards; followed by a team safety; a 56-yard scoring pass from Miller to Jimmy Farris; a 21-yard run by Drinkwalter; and a 3-yard run by Humphery. On defense, the Griz were led by senior tackle Tyler Martin, who had three stops for losses, while senior ends Justin Brannon and Andy Petek each added a pair of sacks. UM had 8 sacks in the game.

GAME NOTES: Montana had one of its best defensive efforts of the season, and the offense had to overcome several injuries to subdue the home-standing Eagles, playing in front of 15,678 fans in Spokane’s Joe Albi Stadium — the most ever for an EWU game there. The Grizzlies lost starting offensive tackles Kamakana Kaimuloa (knee) and Brian Pelc (concussion) in the first quarter, along with halfbacks Yohance Humphery (ham string) and Ben Drinkwalter (shoulder). But redshirt freshmen Dylan McFarland and Jon Skinner filled in admirable at the tackle slots, and quarterback Drew Miller pro vided leadership. Ninth-ranked Montana out-gained 18th-ranked EWU 411 yards to 234, and limited the Eagles dangerous running attack to 25 net yards on 29 carries. EWU stayed in the game with explosive special teams play, as senior Lamont Brightful had a 99-yard kickoff return in the second quarter and a 100-yarder late in the third period. Miller threw for 286 yards, and had scoring passes of 32 and 10 yards to Etu Molden, and a 21 -yarder to Tanner Hancock. Hancock had a career-high 9 catches for 108 yards and aTD. On defense, senior linebacker Adam Boomer had 9 tackles, 3 stops for losses, a sack, a forced fumble, and an interception that led to a score. Senior tackle Corey Mertes, playing with broken ribs, had 8 tackles, including 3 for losses.

TT, FR. GAME NOTES: Senior cornerback Damon Parker picked off an errant lateral by Sac State quarterback Ricky Ray and raced 40 yards untouched to paydirt as a Homecom ing Washington Grizzly Stadium crowd of 19, 264 saw their team pull out a miraculous victory. Ninth-ranked Montana could not contain Ray, especially in the first half. The elusive senior broke free for a 44-yard touchdown for the only points of the first period, and then he scored on a 1-yarder early in the second quarter. The Hornets recovered a fumble by Griz QB Drew Miller midway in the second quar ter and then capitalized on the turnover when Garrett White scored on a 4-yard run six plays later. That gave Sac a 20-0 halftime lead. UM had managed 136 total yards (-3 rushing) before intermission, while Sac had 237. Montana battled back on scoring runs of 1 and 9 yards by true freshman Tate Hancock to cut the Sac lead to 20-14. Hancock was listed fourth on UM’s depth earlier in the year, but injuries forced him into action. With chances for a Griz “W” looking bleak, Roberts gave Montana a break when he fumbled on Sac’s 25-yard line. But, two plays later UM receiver Jimmy Farris fumbled on an end-around play and the Hornets got the ball back with a 20-17 lead and 2:32 left in the game. On 3rd-and-4 from the Sac 40, Ray ran an option play, and as he was tackled by Adam Boomer and Andy Petek, and just before his knee hit the ground, he tried to pitch the ball to Roberts. Parker grabbed the ill-advised Ray pitch, and Farris and the record crowd, breathed a collective sigh of relief, as Parker took it in for the winning points. The Griz improved to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in conference.

GAME NOTES: Montana’s defense continued to excel, and the Griz overcame some crucial mistakes and the loss of All-American QB Drew Miller, eking out a 34-30 win. The Grizzlies lost Miller late in the second quarter when he was tackled from his blind side just as he was releasing a pass. Enter sophomore John Edwards, who was 1-of-1 for 11 yards so far on the season. Edwards guided the UM offense with 5:05 remaining, guiding the offense on a 9-play, 59-yard scoring drive, Edwards rushing one yard for the deciding points. Montana dominated the game statistically, but Northridge capitalized on Griz mis takes. CSN’s first TD was set up by a UM fumble on its own 25-yard line. Their second score was on a 95-yard kickoff return. The Matadors also scored on a 50-yard fumble return and an 83-yard interception return. Montana had 437 total yards, compared to Northridge’s 155. Although the Griz had just one net yard rushing (CSN had 30), once again they were missing their top two backs, Yohance Humphery (hamstring) and Ben Drinkwalter (shoulder) to injuries. Frosh Tate Hancock was taken off redshirt status in the Sac State game, but he was also knocked out with a shoulder injury in that contest. True freshman Branden Malcom, also slated to redshirt, started, and he rushed for 14 yards and a score and caught 7 passes for 48 yards. But, when you’re talking about domination, you have to take a look at the Griz de fense in the second half. In the 2nd stanza, CSN had 46 total yards, 4 first downs, and did not score. On defense, senior tackle Corey Mertes had a great game with 4 1 /2 stops for losses and 2-1/2 sacks. Senior linebacker Adam Boomer added 7 tackles (3 for losses), and junior strong safety Vince Huntsberger had a game-high 11 tackles.

GAME NOTES: Montana’s defense, NAU penalties, and the scrambling of quarterback John Edwards all added up to a win for the 5th-ranked Griz, who picked up their six straight

victory. The Griz moved into sole possession of first place in the Big Sky Conference at 4-0, thanks to Weber State’s 41-9 shellacking of visiting Portland State. Montana improved to 61 overall. The victory also assured Montana of its 15th winning season in a row, dating back to 1986. Several UM offensive players were sidelined with injuries, and if UM’s inexperienced offense had not committed three turnovers inside NAU’s 20-yard line, the final score might have been different. Edwards was making his first career start, as All-American QB Drew Miller sat out with a right shoulder (throwing) injury suffered the week before at Northridge. Edwards, who led the Griz to a come-from-behind victory the previous week, wasn’t perfect, but passed for 229 yards and 2 scores, and scrambled for 63 more. Edwards was 22-of-44-2, and both of his interceptions came in the red zone. Senior end Andy Petek was outstanding, with three sacks and two forced fumbles. NAU finished with 307 yards of offense and scored just once. On defense , Montana registered 7 sacks and had 10 stops for losses. NAU halfback Marcus King was limited to 75 yards on 16 carries, and the Lumberjacks had 60 net yards rushing. Junior strong safety Vince Huntsberger had a team-high 9 tackles, while junior cornerback Calvin Coleman had 8 stops, a tackle for a loss, and 2 pass deflections. NAU tied a Big Sky record with 19 penalties for 142 yards. Idaho was whistled for 19 infractions 30 seasons ago in a game against Weber State.. Freshman halfback Branden Malcom rushed for 77 hard-earned yards on 25 carries. Receiver Etu Molden had 8 catches for a game-high 108 yards and scored UM’s first TD, a 24-yarder. Molden’s scoring catch was set up on a 72-yard kickoff return by Tanner Hancock. Receiver T.J. Oelkers scored UM’s other touchdown on a 9-yard pass from Edwards, for his first career touchdown.

GAME NOTES: This showdown between tw o of the Big Sky’s biggies went as planned if you’re a Montana fan, as the Grizzlies avenged a 1999 overtime loss with a victory over the Vikings in their temporary facility in Hillsboro, about 12 miles from Portland. The return of junior halfback Yohance Humphery and the continued great play of the defense made the difference in this one. Humphery, who had not played since suffering a hamstring injury at Eastern Wash ington on Sept. 30, returned with a vengeance, rushing for a school-record 37 times and gaining a career-high 194 yards in the process. The Griz were once again playing without quarterback Drew Miller, who watched from the sidelines because of an injury. Edwards made one huge mistake, then seconds later redeemed himself, thanks to senior receiver Jimmy Farris. UM moved the ball to the PSU 18-yard line, but Edwards was picked off by Rashad Floyd, who returned it 84 yards for a touchdown. On UM’s first play of its next possession, Edwards found Farris on a quick out, and he broke loose down the right sideline for a momentum-changing, 68-yard TD. Senior end Andy Petek once again came up big for the “ D,” getting 9 tackles, 4 for losses, and 3 sacks. He was named Big Sky “ Defensive Player of the Week” for his efforts. Montana’s defense sacked Jim m y Blanchard five times, and the senior QB had started the game with only seven sacks in PSU’s previous seven contests. The Griz out-gained the Vikings 472 to 271 in net yards. If you take away an 81 -yard pass play by PSU, they had 190 yards on their 55 other plays, an average of 3.5 yards per play. UM had 24 first downs while PSU had 11. PSU had 29 net yards rushing and star halfback Chip Dunn had 19 carries for 49 yards and a TD.

GAME NOTES: It wasn’t pretty, butYohance Humphery, the defense, receiver Jimmy Farris, returner Etu Molden, and kicker Chris Snyder all pitched in to keep the Grizzlies unbeaten in the Big Sky and win their 8th contest in a row in 2000. Humphery had his second 100-yard rushing game in a row, racking up 145 yards on 23 carries. Freshman Branden Malcom helped the UM rush cause by picking up 52 yards on 12 totes. Senior QB Drew Miller returned to action, but did not play in the second half. Miller, who did not look as sharp as usual, was 8-of-12 and picked off twice. He injured his left shoulder while making a tackle after he’d thrown an interception. He could have returned to action, but watched from the sidelines. ISU got on the board on a 73-yard kickoff return, but Molden returned the favor on the ensuing kickoff, breaking loose for an 88-yard TD. John Edwards was 4-of-11 for 88 yards, but had one big completion to Farris, who broke a tackle and raced to pay dirt from 66 yards out with 26 second left in the third quarter. In UM’s last two games, Farris has had three scoring grabs of more than 50 yards. It was a historic game for senior end Andy Petek, who had four tackles and a sack, that sack giving him a single-season sacks record of 15, breaking the mark of 14 set by Corey Falls in 1996. Senior linebacker Adam Boomer had 10 tackles, a sack, and an interception (his fourth of the season), and he was named the league’s “Defensive Player of the Week” for the first time in his career. Junior cornerback Calvin Coleman had 7 tackles, a sack, and blocked a field goal (UM’s first block of the season). The Griz defense had five sacks, giving them 38 on the season.

Once again it wasn’t a thing of beauty, but Yohance Humphery, and the defense all had stellar games, as the Grizzlies remained unbeaten and captured their third straight Big Sky Conference championship. Humphery had his third 100-yard rushing game in a row, racking up a career-high 197 yards and tying the single-game mark of 37 carries that he set three weeks earlier at Portland State. Miller returned to action for the second week in a row and was 30-of-45-1 for 334 yards and a TD. Unfortunately, for the second week in a row, he also suffered an injury (concussion), and had to leave the game in the closing minutes. The previous week he left the Idaho State game when he injured his left shoulder and did not play in the second half. Montana dominated the game statistically, gaining 556 yards to WSU’s 239. UM had twice as much possession time, and 27 first downs, compared to WSU’s 7. Sophomore free safety Trey Young had an outstanding game, garnering 7 tackles and grabbing a key interception in the WSU end zone. Senior linebacker Adam Boomer added 5 tackles, two stops for losses, and a sack. Once again special teams gave up big plays, as Herb Craft scored on an 84-yard punt return to give WSU a 21-17 third-quarter lead, and he broke loose for a 94-yard kickoff return with eight minutes left in the game to keep the pressure on UM. When it was over, the Griz had won their ninth in a row, but six of those “W’‘s” were by six points or less. “I take my hat off to the coaches and the players at The University of Montana,” firstyear head coach Joe Glenn told The Missoulian. “We battled hard this year through some tough times, today included. We fought to the Grizzly end so many times and here we stand.” GAME NOTES:

but Montana’s 15th win in a row over its intrastate rival in this 100th Griz-Cat match-up was error-filled, as in yellow flags. The Griz were flagged for 19 penalties, but dominated the very young and winless Bobcats en route to a perfect (8-0) Big Sky Conference record and a 10-1 regularseason mark. UM’s 10th straight win of the 2000 season was once again due in a large part to its great defense, which held MSU to just 89 net yards. The Griz had an impressive 18 tackles for losses. The Griz defense had five sacks, giving them 46 on the season. John Edwards improved to 3-0 as a starter, and was effective as a runner and a passer, although he said after the game, that he needs to become more consistent. Edwards was 12-of-26-0 for 218 yards and a pair of scoring passes, and rushed 10 times for 53 yards and a TD. Halfback Yohance Humphery and receiver Jimmy Farris once again came up big for the offense. Humphery churned out 87 hard-earned yards on 22 carries, while Farris broke MSU’s back with a 91-yard scoring grab in the third quarter. Edwards was starting in place of senior QB Drew Miller, who missed his third game of the year because of a concussion he suffered late in the game in the win at Weber State the previous week. Montana dominated the game statistically, gaining 402 to MSU’s 89, but the penalty situation prevented the Griz from developing any offensive consistency. Linebacker Adam Boomer, one of 17 seniors playing their final regular-season game of the year on “Senior Day,” had a team-high 9 tackles and three stops for losses. Fellow senior end Andy Petek added 7 tackles, 4 stops for losses, and the Buchanan Award Finalist ended the season with a record 20 sacks. Farris ended the season with 1,003 receiving yards, making him the eighth player in school history to go over the 1,000-yard receiving mark. Humphery boosted to his career rushing yards total to 2,412. UM learned earlier in the week that it would host a first-round playoff game. Sunday morning they learned they were the top seed and would host Eastern Illinois in a firstround game.

Nick Ricks: 10 TT, 3 TLs. GAME NOTES: The Griz notched a convincing 45-13 win over visiting Eastern Illi nois and won the chance to play football in December again for the first time in four seasons. UM had lost its last three first round contests: at McNeese State (1997) and Western Illinois (1998), and a last-second (30-27) heart-breaker to Youngstown State in 1999. Montana (11-1) was seeded No. 1 for the first time ever in the 16-team l-AA tourney, and the Griz clicked in every phase of the game to defeat the 16th-seeded Panthers (8-4) of the Ohio Valley Conference. Big plays on offense and defense added up to Montana’s most lopsided playoff win since they pounded Troy State 70-7 in a 1996 semi-final game in Missoula. Senior receiver Jimmy Farris had a huge day, hauling in 6 passes for 178 yards and 2 touchdowns, including an 80-yard scoring bomb from senior QB Drew Miller early in the first quarter. The irrepressible Farris also scooped up a fumble for an 8-yard TD. John Edwards was once again called to duty, when Miller injured the thumb on his right (throwing) hand. It was Miller’s fourth injury of the season, although he was expected back for UM’s quarterfinal match-up against Richmond. Edwards was 7-of-90 for 102 yards and a TD, and also had a 2-yard scoring run. Halfback Yohance Humphery gained a game-high 90 tough yards on 17 carries — 65 of those yards coming in the second half. UM had 461 total yards, while EIU had 311. The Griz held the Panthers to 99 net yards rushing — the seventh game in a row a Montana opponent has been held under 100 yards rushing. Junior strong safety Vince Huntsberger had a game-high 14 tackles, along with 2 fumble recoveries, while junior LB Matt Steinau had 8 tackles and returned a fumble for a touchdown.

GAME NOTES: Montana’s 12th consecutive win in the 2000 season advanced them to a Division l-AA semifinal berth for the fifth time in school history, as the Grizzlies defeated the visiting University of Richmond Spiders 34-20 in a quarterfinal contest. The Griz have advanced to the l-AA semifinal game five times: 1989,1994,1995,1996, and 2000, Montana, now 12-1, jumped to an early lead on Richmond (10-3), thanks to some big plays by quarterback Drew Miller and wide receiver Jimmy Farris. Montana’s 8lhranked defense was also a key, as it held the Spiders' dangerous option offense in check most of the time. UR had two sizable gains of more than 30 yards, but if you take those away, they averaged a measly 3.1 yards a carry. Miller, who injured the thumb on his right (throwing) hand against Eastern Illinois, completed 28-of-41 passes for 381 yards and 3 scores and was picked off just once. UM’s record-setting junior halfback Yohance Humphery picked up a game-high 84 yards on 20 carries, and scored on runs of 21 and 5 yards. Farris had a huge day and his sixth 100-yard receiving day in a row, hauling in 7 passes for a career-high 188 yards and 2 touchdowns, including an incredible 65-yard run and catch from Miller early in the second quarter. The feisty senior scored a few minutes later on a 20-yard TD strike from Miller. UM had 468 total yards, while UR had 308. The Griz gave up a season-high 257 rushing yards to the Spiders, breaking a string of 7 straight games they had held their opponents to under 100 yards. The win set up a showdown with 13th-seeded Appalachian State, which upset 4thseed Troy State and No. 5 seed Western Kentucky — both on the road, to make it to the field of four.

GAME NOTES: Montana has had its share of comebacks in 2000, but this one topped them all, as the Griz held off a gutsy Appalachian State team for a thrilling 19-16 overtime win, earning their third trip to the l-AA title game. Once again QB Drew Miller and wide receiver Jimmy Farris combined for the game-winning heroics, but it was also Montana’s 8*-ranked defense that played a huge part in the Grizzly victory. Despite dominating the Mountaineers statistically in the first half, out-gaining them in total yards 256 to 90, UM managed just a 6-0 lead. The defenses took over in the third quarter, as Miller failed to complete a pass in that stanza. ASU finally got on the scoreboard in the third period via a Mark Wright field goal cutting the Griz lead to 6-3. The teams traded touchdowns in the final quarter, but it took a goalline stand by the Griz “D” to make ASU settle for a field goal and subsequent overtime. ASU’s dangerous combo of quarterback Joe Burchette and Troy Albea combined for a 38-yard pass play on a 4th-and-8 play, moving the ball to the Griz 7-yard line. How ever, the Mountaineers had no timeouts left, and Burchette threw three straight incompletions (one was spiked), and they had to settle for a 27-yard field qoal by Wriqht which tied it at 13-all. “All they (ASU) had to do was get a touchdown and they had it,” said Griz head coach Joe Glenn. “But our defense would just not give up and let them have a touch down.” The Mountaineers tried two running plays to start the OT and then threw an incom plete pass, and once again had to settle for a Wright field goal — this one from 36 yards out. Montana picked up a first down on its first series of the OT, and after a 5-yard run by Ben Drinkwalter and a UM procedure penalty, Miller and Farris hooked up for the game winner, a 15-yard fade pattern in the right side of the end zone.

Game Notes: The Grizzlies third trip to the l-AA playoff title game in the past six seasons,

played on a dreary, rain-soaked Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, Tenn., was like two separate contests. The first half is one that Montana fans would like to forget. On its first play from scrim mage Georgia Southern broke a 73-yard run to the UM 7-yard line, and three plays later the Eagles recovered their own fumble in the end zone for a touchdown. GSU racked up two more TDs in the opening half and gained 318 yards, 216 of them coming via the ground game, taking a 20-3 lead at intermission. The Griz had 189 yards and got their only points on a 38-yard field goal by Chris Snyder. Not only was the game lopsided in the first two quarters of action, but late in the first quarter the Griz faithful had their collective hearts in their hands, as senior quarterback Drew Miller was knocked out of the game for the fifth time this season because of an injury. Montana owned the second half, though, as the Grizzlies scored three unanswered touch downs to take a 23-20 lead - their first of the game, early in the final quarter. Montana’s first TD came on a 17-yard scoring pass from QB John Edwards late in the third stanza. A fake punt from their own 35-yard line changed the momentum UM’s way, as junior safety Vince Huntsberger dropped the snap, scooped it up, and raced 65 yards to paydirt. The defense set up the go-ahead score, when freshman linebacker Dave DeCoite forced a fumble and teammate Justin Brannon recovered the ball on the GSU 18-yard line. Five plays later Yohance Humphery scored on a 2-yard run, and UM had its first lead. Unfortunately that lead was short-lived, however, as much-heralded running back Adrian Peterson scored on the Eagles’ first play after the Humphery TD, Peterson breaking loose for a 57-yard touchdown run. Three times in the last eight minutes Edwards directed Montana’s offense inside the GSU 30-yard line, but the Griz failed to score all three times. Peterson’s run was one of only three Eagle plays that gained more than six yards in the second half, although the junior All-American gained 148 yards on 23 carries. In the final half, Montana out-gained Georgia Southern 298 to 72 yards, and had a 15 to 2 bulge in first downs. Humphery rushed for 119 yards and caught 7 passes for 63 yards. Freshman linebacker Dave DeCoite had a team-high 10 tackles, 2 stops for losses, a forced fumble, and a sack.

2000: ROCKY START, BUT GREAT FINISH When Joe Glenn took over the head job at Montana, the Griz faith ful expected him and his team to win another league title and earn a l-AA playoff berth. UM players and first-year mentor Glenn soon had all of the naysayers talking, as they suffered a 10-9 opening season loss in the friendly confines of Washington Grizzly Stadium no less! An 0-2 start for the first time in 15 years seemed more than pos sible, as nemesis and Division l-Afoe Idaho in Pullman was up next, but, Montana rebounded as senior quarterback Drew Miller passed for a career-best 505 yards, and senior Jimmy Farris made a mi raculous, one-handed catch in the closing seconds for a dramatic 45-38 UM win. A convincing victory over visiting Cal Poly put UM over the .500 mark. A week later the Griz were hit by numerous injuries and gamebreaking Eastern Washington kickoff returns but held off the Eagles for a 41-31 victory in Spokane in their conference opener. Homecoming 2000 may have been the game which the Griz turned the corner. Trailing 20-17 late in the game, Damon Parker picked off an errant Hornet lateral and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown and a 24-20 win. Miller, plagued with injuries throughout the season, was knocked out of the Northridge contest, but enter sophomore John Edwards, who scored on a one-yard run with 1:50 left, and UM pulled out a 34-30 win.

THIRD TRIP TO THE TITLE GAME The Grizzlies’ third trip to the l-AA championship game started out without much stress, but the final ticket to the division’s “Big Dance” did not come easily. Entering the 16-team field the No. 1 seed for the first time looked like a no-brainer, as everything worked to perfection in a 45-13 win over visiting Eastern Illinois. A quarterfinal home contest against runoriented Richmond (Virginia) turned into a second half defensive struggle, but Montana prevailed 34-20. The 2000 season’s 13th win in a row over Appalachian State was like a heavyweight boxing match, but the knockout punch was pro vided by a Miller to Farris scoring pass in overtime, and the ecstatic Griz had their ticket to the Chattanooga, Tennessee, site of the title game. Montanans and anglers sometimes talk about the “one that got away” in this fly-fishing town made famous by the popular movie “A River Runs Through It.” Minutes after its 27-25 loss to defending champion Georgia South ern in Chattanooga’s Finley Stadium, the tongues starting wagging. “If Drew Miller hadn’t got hurt in the first quarter....If the field wasn’t so muddy....If we just had the ball one more time ” You get the idea. The bottom line was that GSU junior All-American halfback Adrian Peterson’s 57-yard touchdown run early in the final quarter quashed Montana’s valiant come-back effort, and the game truly got away.

Griz

GRIZ HAVE NOW MADE 11 TRIPS TO THE PLAYOFFS Since 1993, Montana has participated in the Division l-AA playoffs 11 times and for eight years in a row. When the skein started in 1993, UM suffered a last-second, 49-48 first-round home loss to Delaware. The Griz entered that game with a 10-1 record and were ranked third. That letdown turned to elation ayear later, when the Grizzlies squeaked by Northern Iowa 23-20; beat McNeese State on Andy Larson’s lastsecond field goal (30-28); and then lost 28-9 at Youngstown State in the semifinal. Griz All-American quarterback Dave Dickenson was injured early in the McNeese game in 1994 and was unable to play at YSU. The team and its coaches were close to reaching the pinnacle of l-AA. The Griz coaches and players reached that pinnacle a year later. Montana won the national championship in 1995 with a last-sec ond, come-from-behind victory (22-20) over host Marshall. UM re turned just 12 starters in 1995, but looked like a team of destiny. “Dicky,” who played for Calgary in the Canadian Football League from 1996 to 2000, passed for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns in UM’s first three playoff wins. That run of wins included lopsided victories as the Griz out-scored their first three playoff opponents 163-14. In the title game at Marshall, despite an ailing (shoulder) Dickenson orchestrated a 12-play, 72-yard drive, which culminated on a 25yard field goal by Andy Larson with 39 seconds left as Montana eked out the two-point win. With Dickenson gone to the CFL and 10-year head coach Don Read’s surprising retirement, the Griz did not have a letdown — far from it. The Griz reeled off a school-record 14 straight wins in 1996 and advanced to the title game again at Marshall. This time wide receiver Randy Moss and the Thundering Herd prevailed, 49-29. It was UM’s second straight trip to the title game and the first time in playoff history that two 14-0 teams squared off for the national crown. The Griz had a winning drought in the playoffs from 1997-99. In 1997 McNeese State revenged its 1994 playoff loss at Montana with a 19-14 come-from-behind victory in Lake Charles. In ‘98 Montana suffered its worst playoff loss in history, losing 52-9 at Western Illinois. Two of the most successful programs in the 90s met in a first round 1999 playoff game in Missoula, as the Griz hosted the Youngstown State Penguins. This battle of l-AA’s heavyweights went down to the wire. It took a missed 34-yard game-tying field goal by the Griz with 12 seconds left for YSU to eke out a 30-27 victory, Montana’s third first round loss in a row. In 1999, Montana set a Big Sky record with seven consecutive playoff appearances, breaking the old mark of six straight set by former league member Idaho from 1985-90. About a week after the YSU loss, Head Coach Mick Dennehy left UM to become the mentor at Utah State. On December 6, 1999, Joe Glenn was introduced as Montana’s 32nd head coach. Prior to its current eight-year run from 1993-00, Montana had been in the playoffs three times. Its first playoff game was in 1982, a 21 -7 loss at former Big Sky member Idaho. UM’s second appearance was six years later, in 1988, the Griz once again traveling to Idaho, losing 38-19. The 1989 was a watermark season, as the Grizzlies hosted their first ever playoff game, beating Jackson State 48-7. A week later the Griz hosted Eastern Illinois, winning 25-19. Montana then traveled to Statesboro, Georgia, to play eventual national champion Georgia Southern for its first-ever trip to the semis, losing 45-15.
