He was selected Montana’s Golden Helmet Award (“ Hardest Hitter”) winner in 1987, 1988, and 1989. He received Montana’s Steve Carlson Award (MVP) in 1988 and 1989. Tim is ranked third in Griz history with 305 career tackles in just three seasons at Montana. Hauck started his college career at Pacific University in Oregon and was an all-conference pick there as a freshman. He prepped at Big Timber High School (Montana) and was an all-state quarter back and defensive back, playing for his dad, Bob Hauck Sr. He is the younger brother of Griz head coach Bobby Hauck. Tim is single.

“Tom is a great guy. Our defensive linemen are very fortunate to be coached by him. When we had our staff changeover when I came here three seasons ago, I was really pleased that he decided to stay on and work with us/-H e a d Coach Bobby Hauck

A m uch-experienced football coach, Tom Hauck is in his sixth season at his alma mater. He has been a college or high school coach for the past five decades. The past five seasons he has worked with Montana’s defensive tackles. In 2004, senior defensive tackle Blake Horgan was chosen first team All-Big Sky Conference. In his first season at Montana in 2000, Tom worked with the defensive ends as well as the defensive tackles. Over the last four seasons the Grizzlies have had at least one defensive tackle named to the All-Big Sky team, including Horgan, Jonny Varona, and Alan Saenz. H organ and Saenz w ere h o n o ra b le mention all-league picks in 2003. A fo rm e r G riz z ly s ta n d o u t on th e gridiron , Hauck was a 6-2, 220-pound center at Montana, lettering from 1961-63. Originally from Butte, he was the team co captain his senior year in 1963 with tackle Fred Calder. Tom also played freshman football at UM in 1960. Hauck was an honorable mention AllBig Sky selection at center as a senior in £63, the league’s inaugural season. Bobby Hauck, UM’s head coach, is the son of Tom’s brother, Robert Hauck, Sr. Tom’s nephew Tim Hauck was an AllAmerican safety for the Griz in 1988-89 and also an assistant football coach for the Griz. Prior to coming to UM, Tom coached at Rocky Mountain College in Billings, where he worked with the defense and special team s.

MONTANA GRIZZLIES * Assistant Coaches Ron Kowalski Running Backs (Eastern Montana, 1966) Fifth Year at Montana

“Ron’s a veteran coach in Montana and is one of the all-time great high school coaches. He’s just done a spectacular job with our running backs. Justin Green had a huge career here. Lex Hilliard and JR Waller are having big careers, and he’s helped Brady Green evolve. I am looking forward to having him work with our young guys and bringing them along, as he has our veteran players.”--Head Coach Bobby Hauck

Ron is a veteran of the football coaching ranks and b rin g s num erou s years of coaching expertise to Montana. He is now in his fifth year at Montana and his 38th season coaching at the high school and college levels. For the third year in a row Kowalski will work exclusively with UM’s running backs. In 2001 and 2002 he worked with the tight ends at Montana. Kowalski came to UM after a successful 32-year stint at Cut Bank High School. He was the head coach at Cut Bank for 29

seasons and compiled an overall record of 206-80-1. His prep teams won state championships in 1985, 1989 and 1990, and were runners-up on four occasions. Originally from Roundup, Kowalski is a 1966 g ra d u a te of E astern M on tan a College. Ron and his wife Dianne of 39 years have two sons Pete, of Missoula, and Mike, who lives in Denver.

Rob Phenicie Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks (University of Memphis, 1989) Third Year at Montana

“in the two seasons Rob has been the coordinator here, he has done a great job. We’ve been drastically different at times, and that shows Rob’s versatility and his ability to lead our offense. We’ve been at the top of the conference in scoring, at an average around 37 points a game over the past two years, and that’s fairly incredible. We’re looking for good things out of our offense this fall. We’ll be extremely young on offense, and we don’t have many veteran players coming back, so we may have to ham-and-egg it a bit early in the season to get things rolling, but we’ll find a way to do that, and Rob’s the guy to lead the charge.’’-Head Coach Bobby Hauck

Rob is in his third season as Montana’s offensive co ordin ato r and quarterback coach. The past two seasons the Griz have been ranked among Division l-AA’s top offense. Last season the Grizzlies were 11th in the l-AA ranks in passing offense (277.5 yards a game), 12th in scoring offense (35.7 ppg), and 13th in total offense (427.7 yards a game). In 2003, Montana was 17th in the nation in scoring (33.1 points a game) and 26th in rushing (189.2 yards per contest). Rob came to UM from the University of Wyoming where he served as co-offensive coordinator and was responsible for the Cowboy’s passing game in 2002. He was

an assistant coach at Wyoming from 20002002 . In 2001, he served as the recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach at Wyoming, while his first season there he oversaw the wide receivers. In 2001 the Cowboys were 15th in the nation in passing offense, averaging 282.4 yards a game. Prior to coaching in Laramie, Phenicie (pronounced: fin-ih-see) was an offensive assistant at UNLV for a season. B efore th a t he was the o ffe n s iv e coordinator and wide receivers coach at Cal State Northridge in 1997 and 1998.

GRIZZLY OUTLOOK

'.Ufa.?,i

MONTANA GRIZZLIES • 2005 Outlook 2005 Preseason Outlook: COACH HAUCK: he good news entering the 2005 season for The University of Mon tana Grizzlies is that they return 15 starters and 43 lettermen from a 12-3 team that finished 6-1 en route to a co-Big Sky Conference cham pionship, played for the Division l-AA national championship, and ranked second in The Sports Network’s final poll. Last season Montana not only added to its record by advancing to the Division IAA playoffs for the 12th season in a row, but it also played for the national title for the fifth time in the past 10 years. The Grizzlies have now won or shared seven straight Big Sky championships and 10 in the past 12 seasons, dating back to 1993. UM reached another milestone a year ago by racking up its 19th straight winning season - a victory skein that started in 1986. The Griz needed two blocked field goals to pull out key conference wins against Idaho State (24-22) and at Eastern Washington (31-28) last season, but they made an impressive run in the playoffs, defeating (in order) Northwestern State (56-7), New Hampshire (47-17), and Sam Houston State (34-13) on their way to the division’s champion ship game, which was a 31-21 setback versus James Madison in Chattanooga, in a contest that was unfortunately played on horrific field conditions. A good portion of Montana’s quest for its third national title was watched by a national television audience. The Grizzlies home Divi sion l-AA quarterfinal and semifinal contests were aired live on ESPN2,

“

as was the “chipper” against James Madison. Portable lights were brought in by the NCAA for the Montana-New Hampshire quarterfinal game, making it the first night game in the 19-year history of Wash ington-Grizzly Stadium. The bad news for the Grizzlies is that they need to replace prolific quarterback Craig Ochs, who passed for 3,807 yards and 33 to u c h downs; their top three receivers; halfback Justin Green, who was a fifthround draft pick by the Baltim ore Ravens, as well as many key players at defensive tackle and linebacker. Once again the Griz had one of the top of fenses in the country. Last season UM was 11th in passing (277.5 ypg), 12th in scoring (35.7 ppg), and 13th in total of fense (427.7 ypg). Other key losses of fensively were All-Ameri can tackle Cory Procter, Jefferson Heidelberger, Levander Segars, and Tate Hancock - all three-year starters at wide receiver - and Green, a fifth-round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens. Defensively, the Griz must replace veteran starters John Cahill, Blake Horgan, and Jonny Varona at tackle, as well as starting line backers Adam Hoge and Nick Vella. Perhaps what makes the Grizzlies’ success a year ago even more impressive is that they played 10 “true” freshmen, as well as eight redshirt freshmen.

r i z z I i e s

The loss of Ochs as well as quality senior backup Jeff Disney cannot be underestimated. Ochs, who signed a free agent contract with the San Diego Chargers last spring, accounted for 33 of Montana’s 36 touchdown passes. He was not only an outstanding leader and passer, but was an adept scrambler as well. Redshirt freshman Cole Bergquist and jun ior transfer Jason Washington ended spring drills in a head-to-head battle for the starting berth, and that competition carried over into fall camp. “ Losing Craig Ochs is a big blow to our football team,” said third-year head coach Bobby Hauck. “As I’ve said before, he’s the best quarterback I’ve been around. But, that’s the nature of college football. You graduate your seniors, and you find guys who can pick up the slack and that’s what needs to hap pen on offense. “That doesn’t necessarily mean that we need our quarterbacks to replace Craig’s pro duction, but we do need our entire offense

2005 FOOTBALL * 2005 Outlook to replace Craig Ochs’ production,” Hauck said. “ Bergquist and Washington are good solid players,” Hauck said. “The real question is how far can they come along from the first of August to the first of September during fall camp. I really like both of them as athletes. I think we tend to underestimate Cole’s ability to hurt you with his feet, and I think we tend to underestimate Jason’s ability to hurt you with his arm. Both are very versatile. I ex pect both of them to have productive years.” Waiting in the wings are sophomores Casey Cordial and Drew Hedrick. New to the program is 6-3, 215-pound freshman recruit Clint Stapp.

“Lex is a special player,” Hauck said. “He’s got a tremendous work ethic and is a tough, physical runner, and JR falls a lot into the same categories as Lex. Brady Green has worked his way up the depth chart, and he will have the ball in his hands. The running back position is a volatile one, and our young guys like Andrew Schmidt and our three in coming freshmen need to be ready to answer the call if needed.” Brady Green rushed for 150 yards last year. Also vying for playing time is hard-running redshirt freshman Andrew Schmidt. Promis ing frosh recruits Thomas Brooks-Fletcher, Jolly Righetti, and Brandon Utterback could also be in the mix.

• Running Back

* Offensive Line

The Grizzlies lost Green to graduation, but the cupboard is not bare with the return of Lex Hilliard, JR Waller and Brady Green. Justin Green ended his prolific two-year career at Montana ranked sixth in school his-

tory with 1,784 yards. However, both Hilliard and Waller begin the season among UM’s ca reer rush leaders. Hilliard, a junior All-American candidate, rushed for 972 yards and tied UM’s single-sea son record with 17 touchdown runs. He was a first team All-Big Sky pick last year despite start ing only four games. Hilliard’s 1,562 career rush ing yards are the 11th most in school history. Waller’s 262 yards and three touchdowns ranked him third on the team a year ago. His 1,280 career yards rank him 19th on the career list.

Procter, who signed a free agent contract with the Detroit Lions last spring, will be diffi cult to replace, but because of numerous in juries last season, several young players were thrown into the mix and gained valuable play ing time. However, Montana also returns several upperclassmen with starting experience to go along with some of those talented freshmen and sophomores. Senior honors candidate Brad Rhoades, an honorable mention all-conference pick last year, has started the past two seasons at both tackle and guard and will start at right tackle. Cody Balogh started UM’s final three games last season as a true freshman and will start at left tackle. Two promising redshirt freshmen, Kevin Bell and Dan Carter, will back up Rhoades and Balogh, respectively. At guard, honors candidate Jason Frink along with fellow senior Chris Orwig return and will start at left and right guard, respectively. Providing quality depth at guard is junior Ryan Wells, sophomore lettermen Ryan Gustafson and Eric Michel, and redshirt freshman Colin Dow. Junior honors candidate Jeff Marshall was a second team All-Big Sky pick at guard last season, and he will start at center, a position he started in eight games last season. Another talented youngster, redshirt freshman Trapper Hight, is the back-up at center. “We finally feel like we’ve developed some depth on our offensive line,” Hauck said. “Two years ago we didn’t feel like we had too many players we could throw in there. It’s different from a year ago, in that we’ve got some re turning starters. “ Early in the season last year we had a bunch of very inexperienced players on the offensive line, and it showed up when we tried to get our running game going,” Hauck said, “but, they really came on as the season did, thus our offense came along too. By the end of the season last year we were equally as efficient running and throwing the ball, and I expect our offensive line to have a good year.”

• Tight End/H-Back The “big guy,” Willie Walden, a 6-7, 270pounder, graduated and signed a free agent deal with the Kansas City Chiefs last spring. However, senior JaTon Simpson had an outstanding spring and starts the 2005 sea son as an honors candidate at this position. Simpson had five catches for 92 yards and a touchdown last season. Jaison Carriger also had a very good spring and will contribute at the tight end position and on special teams. Senior Kyler Noel is a solid player at this position as well.

Senior Offensive Guard Chris Orwig

‘Ja’Ton and Jaison both had terrific off seasons,” Hauck said. “ Depending on how fall camp goes, we will determine how big a part of our offense the tight end will play, and I expect that to be substantial. They are both playing the best football of their careers, and they’ll both be on the field making plays for us this fall.”

• Wide Receiver As mentioned earlier, the Griz lost their three top receivers to graduation. “ Experience at this position is a concern going into the season,” Hauck said. “We could talk at length about the positions on our football team that don’t have a lot of ex perience, but, I think we’ll continue to grow as the season evolves. The wide receiver position could be a strength for us. We just need to continue to progress in the right di rection. That group, led by senior Jon Talmage, is going to be very competent be fore all is said and done.” Talmage had 55 catches for 819 yards and nine touchdowns last season. The only other

MONTANA GRIZZLIES • 2005 Outlook

Sophomore Wide Receiver Ryan Bagley

wide receiver returning who had a catch is sophomore Ryan Bagley, who had two recep tions last season and played as a true fresh man. Bagley also ended spring drills as a starter. Eric Allen, a sophomore transfer from Oklahoma State, showed great promise in the spring and will start. Redshirt freshmen Mike Ferriter, Rob Schulte, and Matt Troxel should all play inte gral roles at receiver, despite their youth. Sophomore Brandon Dwyer is also vying for playing time. “There is a lot of potential there,” Hauck said, “and we need to bring it out of them. Jon’s the lone veteran in the group. He’s a senior and everyone else on the depth chart is either a freshman or a sophomore. That’s a big question mark going into the season, but we like the players who are in that group, and we think they’ve got a chance to produce a lot of yards and points for us.”

In just two seasons Murphy is tied with Spencer in stops for losses with 23.5, and he also has 14-plus sacks. Murphy was first team all-league last year, while Spencer was named to the second team. Murphy was named a second team All-American by As sociated Press, and he had team-highs of 17 tackles for loss and 12 sacks. Dlouhy was hampered with an injury mid way through the year, but when he took over as the starter when Spencer was lost due to an injury, he came on strong. Two of the youngsters Hauck was refer ring to earlier are Kroy Biermann (who was moved from linebacker to end) and Mike Stadnyk. Both played and contributed last season as true freshmen. “This could be a very solid position for us,” Hauck said. “We’re deep there, we’re tal ented, and we have the ability to come off the ball and get after the passer. We also have the ability to play the run. The one big con cern at defensive end is the injury problem we’ve had with the players in that group. Barring injury, this could be a big-time group of players for us.”

Sophomore Kelly Kain, and redshirt fresh men Jesse Carlson and Craig Mettler are ex pected to provide quality depth. “Saenz is the only player with a lot of ex perience,” Hauck said. “We really need to have those guys ready to go to battle this fall. That group needs to be ready to fight through a long season, and frankly they need to con trol the line of scrimmage. I think that we are capable in there, but we’re just not very ex perienced. We’re anxious to watch those guys get after it this season.”

• Linebacker

• Defensive End The Griz have a dynamic trio returning at defensive end in senior Lance Spencer, a fouryear starter, junior All-American Mike Murphy, and junior honors candidate Dustin Dlouhy. Spencer has been bitten by the injury bug the past couple of years but returned to ac tion in the spring. Murphy was recovering from off-season surgery and did not partici pate in spring football, but he’s expected to be at full strength in time for fall camp. Spencer begins his senior year ranked among Montana’s all-time leaders in sacks (sixth with 17.5) and tackles for losses (tied for eighth with 23.5).

Junior Defensive Tackle Kerry Mullan

• Defensive Tackle “The biggest question mark on our team is the defensive tackle spot,” Hauck said. Seniors Cahill, Horgan and Varona started every game at one of UM’s two tackle posi tions last season and had a combined 94 ca reer starts among them. Senior honors candidate Alan Saenz is the veteran in this group with 39 career games, but he only has one career start. Junior Kerry Mullan is the only other experienced player at tackle.

The now-graduated Hoge and Vella each started all 15 games a season ago, as did senior Shane MacIntyre. “ Mac” was a first team All-Big Sky pick and finalist for the conference’s defensive player of the year award and had a team-high 94 tackles last season. MacIntyre missed spring drills after undergoing off-season surgery but is ex pected to be fully recovered in time for the start of fall camp. There was a major youth movement at this position last year, with redshirt freshmen Kyle Ryan and Loren Utterback both seeing lots of playing time, as did “true” frosh Tyler Joyce. Those three young players were ranked among Montana’s leading tacklers a season ago and emerged as the starters af ter spring drills. However, MacIntyre has been moved from outside (“sam”) to inside line backer (“ mike”) and is the projected starter there, with Ryan backing him up. Sophomore Alex Hawthorne had a prom ising start last season but missed several games with a leg injury. Redshirt freshmen Tyler Corwin and David Haile could contrib ute as well. “This group will be fast and athletic,” Hauck said. “They also have really good size.

2005 FOOTBALL • 2005 Outlook With Shane moving to the middle linebacker spot we’ve put some great athletes on the field at all three spots. It will be fun to watch those guys chase the football, watch them in pass coverage, and watch them blitz.”

Sophomore Linebacker Tyler Joyce

• Secondary CORNERBACK: Honors candidates Kevin Edwards, a senior, and Tuff Harris, a junior, had 24 starts between them last year, al though true freshman Jimmy Wilson started six games at the “ F” corner spot. Edwards led the Big Sky and was nation ally ranked with six interceptions and was a second team All-Big Sky pick. Harris was sec ond (tied) on the squad with four picks in 2004 and started all 15 games.

Chris Clark started several games in the 2003 season and adds excellent depth at cor ner. Redshirt freshman Tim Parks will be hard to keep off the field if he’s recovered from an injury. Senior Chris Polhemus and sopho more Quinton Jackson also provide depth. “The corner position looks like it could be very deep and also very young, with Kevin Edwards being the only senior starter,” Hauck said. “That’s a group that, as the season wore on last year, became productive. They in creased their level of play this past spring. Assuming that we can stay healthy there and have everybody back for fall camp, we’ll have a good group of corners; maybe as good a group as we’ve ever had around here.”

SAFETY: The Griz also return both starters at safety in juniors (free) Matt Lebsock and (strong) Van Cooper Jr. Each of them started all 15 games a year ago. Lebsock and Coo per are the team’s fifth and third-ranked lead ing returning tacklers. Young free safety Torrey Thomas had an outstanding season a year ago as a true freshman. Torrey had the ninth most tackles on the team with 49 and was tied for second with seven pass deflections. Sophomore Muckie Foreman is a solid player at the free safety spot. Senior Tyler Thomas has played in 36 ca reer games, has started at strong safety, and was fifth on the team with 58 tackles last year. “This is a good group, and similar to the running back position, it’s a fairly volatile po sition, and you need to have depth there be cause it’s a high-speed, high-impact, collision position,” Hauck said. “ I like the depth that we’ve got there. “All of the players in that group bring a little something different to the table, which may lend itself to us playing against different offensive styles,” Hauck said. “You’ll see those guys on the field in nickel and dime situations. We may play five safeties in the game at the same time.”

• Kicker/Punter/Returners

Senior Cornerback Chris Polhemus

Kicker Dan Carpenter was a second team All-Big Sky selection last season as a true freshman, while junior punter Tyson Johnson has been an all-conference honorable men tion pick the past two seasons. Carpenter converted 18-of-29 field goals and all 63 of his PAT attempts, while Johnson averaged 41.4 yards on 56 punt attempts, and nailed 15 inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. “We put a lot of emphasis on the kicking game,” Hauck said. “Our special teams have been very solid for us the past couple of years, if not better than that. We’ve had good success in our special team’s units — all six of them, whether it’s blocking kicks, or kick ing field goals, or returning, or covering kicks. Our players play very hard in the kicking game. Dan Carpenter and Tyson Johnson

Senior Strong Safety Tyler Thomas

give us a good chance to have a superior kicking game this season.” The Griz need to find replacements for Heidelberger and Segars, who were two of the most productive and elusive return men in the Big Sky the past couple of seasons.

2005 SCHEDULE Montana’s 2005 schedule is of the “Catch 22” variety, in that the Grizzlies play six of their first eight games at home in Washing ton-Grizzly Stadium, but their final three Big Sky games are all on the road.

• Non-Conference Schedule The season begins at home over the La bor Day weekend against Fort Lewis College of Colorado. The opener is followed by a con test against the Oregon Ducks of the Pac-10 Conference in Eugene. The Griz return home on Sept. 17 to face a South Dakota State team that returns 16 starters. Montana has an open date on September 24. “We have a very demanding non-confer ence schedule,” Hauck said. “ It will test us early on. The fact that we have to play Or egon, a team that I think will be picked among the top two or three teams in the Pac-10 and probably a preseason top 25 pick, will be very difficult. “ Fort Lewis will bring a fired up team in here for our home opener, and they are look ing to upset us,” Hauck said. “The same with South Dakota State, which has a very good program. And then we’ve got Cal Poly, which has something to prove because they won nine games last year and were left out of the (l-AA) playoffs.”

• Conference Schedule After a week off, UM begins its conference slate, hosting its annual Homecoming game against the Weber State Wild cats with new head coach Ron McBride, a former mentor at Utah. Then, after playing its only road game in the month of October (Oct. 8) against Idaho State, Montana returns home for three straight contests. That three-game homestand starts with Big Sky nemesis Eastern Washington on October 15. That is followed by a non-league game versus Cal Poly of the Great West Football Conference, a 9-2 team a year ago. UM’s last home game is October 29 against Portland State, the only conference team that defeated (35-32) the Griz last season. Montana ends the season with Big Sky road games at Northern Arizona, Sacramento State, and Montana State (for the 105th meeting). “Obviously we don’t like the way our season ends up, playing three Big Sky games on the road; I am not too sure how that gets set up,” Hauck said. “ For us to go back-toback-to-back on the road, especially with a long road trip to NAU followed by a long road trip to Sac State will take its toll on our team. We’ll have to be up for the task at that point in time. “Our league is very talented and well-coached, and we play good football in the Big Sky Conference,” Hauck said. “That shows up in our success in the national playoff pic ture. You can’t rule any team out from potentially winning the league championship. There are some teams maybe that would be considered front-runners at the start of the season, but I think every week is going to be a battle in the Big Sky Conference.” M

Le x Hill ia r d • • • •

Junior Running Back 6-0, 225, 2V Kalispell, Mont. Flathead HS

CAREER H IG H S: Rushing: 25 carries vs. Montana State, 2004; 171 yards vs. Northwestern State (LA), 2004; 4 to uch do w ns vs. Northwestern State, 2004. Receiv ing: 6 catches for 43 yards vs. Sam Houston State 2004.

• PERSONAL - A general studies major. Birth date: July 30, 1984. Lex’s parents are Elvis Hilliard and Leslie Moeller of Kalispell.

• MONTANA - Lex begins his junior season ranked 10th in school history with 1,562 yards rushing. He needs only 439 more yards to become the fourth player in school history to rush for more than 2,000 yards (Yohance Humphery, Rocky Klever, and Steve Caputo). • 2004 - Hilliard had a banner sophomore season, earning first team All-Big Sky Conference honors when he rushed for a team-high 972 yards and 17 touchdowns in just four starts. He was ranked eighth in the league, averaging 69.4 yards a game, and his 17 TDs rushing were the most by any running back in the conference. His 7.3 points a game ranked him fourth in the Big Sky and 39th in the country. Hilliard’s 972 yards rushing last season tied him with former (1969) halfback Les Kent for the seventh-most in a season. Lex had the fifth-most catches on the team a year ago with 22. He rushed for 100 or more yards in five games (at Eastern Washington, Northern Arizona, Montana State, Northwestern State, and New Hampshire). He played in 14 games (he did not play in the season opener against Maine) and started in four. He had a career-high 171 yards rushing on just 12 carries (12.2yard average) and four touchdowns in an NCAA Division l-AA home playoff game against Northwestern State (LA), and was named a l-AA.org All-Star for his efforts.

• QUOTING COACH BOBBY HAUCK: “Our goal for Lex, and Lex’s goal for himself, is to be the most productive running back in the history of our university. That’s a fairly lofty goal, but Lex has the ability to be one of the greatest players ever here at The Uni versity of Montana. “He’s got the rare combination of a player who is big and fast. He’s not much fun to tackle, high, or low. He can run away from defenders. He has the strength to overpower tacklers, and he catches the ball well too. He’s the complete package. Obviously we are looking for a big year out of him. “I think where Lex has made the biggest jum p in by becoming a great practice player. His attention to detail, his effort level in practice, and his blocking ability have all gone through the roof. His work ethic has really improved in the last year-and-a-half, and that’s just going to make him better and better as we go along.”

• 2003 - He was a redshirt candidate two seasons ago as a “true” freshman but was activated in the second game of the sea son. He played in 12 games (he did not play in the opener at Maine) and started once (Sam Houston State). He rushed for 590 yards - the most by a “true” freshman in recent history at UM. Despite only that one start, Lex was ranked ninth in the Big Sky in rushing, averaging 49.2 yards per game. • HIGH SCHOOL - Hilliard earned eight letters at Flathead High School: four in football, three in track, and one in wrestling. He was the MVP in football as a junior and senior. He was a three-time all-state and all-conference pick in football. He par ticipated in both the East-West Shrine Game and the MontanaNorth Dakota All-Star Game. His high school football coach was Bob Applegate.

• COACH BOBBY HAUCK QUOTES: “M ike’s maybe not the biggest or fastest player on the team, or on the field, but he has a real knack for the game. He has a great feel for the pass rush. He has a good nose for the ball and that shows up on the stat sheet. He just finds ways to make plays. “He continues to hone his skills and learn the game. He’s com ing off an off-season surgery, but we fully expect him to be 100 percent by this fall, and we’re excited about his prospects this fall. “He’s an instinctive player.

2005 FOOTBALL • Honors Candidates P a n (Carpenter Sophomore Kicker • 6-2, 190, 1V • Helena, Mont. • Helena HS

• MISC. - In 2004 he had a 14-yard rushing touchdown against Northern Arizona and scored 16 points (rush TD, two field goals, and four PATs). He also had one rush for three yards against James Madison in the NCAA Divisions l-AA cham pionship game in Chatanooga. • COACH BOBBY HAUCK SAYS: “ We think that Dan will im prove every year that he is here, and he had a big year as a fresh man. He had one of the tougher jobs on the team when he had to come in to replace the all-time scorer in l-AA football in Chris Snyder, and he owned up to that task. For a true freshman to come in and fill those shoes - I thought that he did a spectacular job. The big thing Dan’s going to improve on will be his mid-range consistency, and when this season plays out, I expect him to do that and to make a higher percentage of his field goal attempts.”

CAREER H IG H S : 49-yard field goal vs. Northern Colorado, 2004; kicked two field goals in six different games; was 8-of-8 in PATs vs. N orthw estern State, 2004.

His 123 points was the second most in school his tory, trailing only Snyder, who scored 124 points in 2003. He was a second team All-Big Sky Conference pick. He was selected the Big Sky’s “Special Teams Player of the Week” three times last season (Sept. 6, Sept. 27, and Nov. 8). Dan was ranked 16th in the nation in Division l-AA in field goals, averaging 1.20 a game, while he was ranked 26th in scor ing, averaging 8.13 points per contest. His 7.8 points a game as a kicker led the conference in that category. • HIGH SCHOOL - As a senior and junior at Helena High School he was chosen first team all-state and first team all-con ference as a kicker and a punter. Following his senior year he participated in Montana’s Annual East-West Shrine Game and in the Montana-North Dakota All-Star Game (Badlands Bowl).

• QUOTING COACH BOBBY HAUCK: “Jeff had a great year, especially considering he had a foot injury that slowed him through the first part of the football season. He’s a very good football player. He’s a very intelligent individual, which equates to good offensive line play at the center spot. “H e’s going to make all the calls for us on the offensive line, and he always gets us in the right blocking scheme. He’s also valuable because he can play multiple positions. He played guard and center for us last year, and in a pinch he could play tackle too. ”

2004 REVIEW

Senior

Cornerback

MONTANA GRIZZLIES * 2004 Year in Review of Montana Grizzlies were 12-3 ast season and 6-1 in the Big Sky Conferroute to another league championship and as Division l-AA’s national runner-up, los-21 to James Madison in the title game. Mon tana was ranked second in final poll. It was Montana’s 12th season in a row in the IAA playoffs and the fifth time in the past 10 years that the Grizzlies have played for the national title. The Griz have won or shared seven straight Big Sky championships over the past 12 seasons and have now accumulated 19 straight winning seasons. The Griz had their share of squeakers last sea son, including three non-league games against two Atlantic-10 Conference teams and a l-AA indepen dent, as well as a pair of Big Sky contests in which Montana blocked field goals to preserve victories. Third-ranked Montana began the season against 11 th-ranked Maine in front of 23,228 fans - the larg est attendance ever for a home opener in Washing ton-Grizzly Stadium. The game was tied 13-all early in the fourth quarter, but two unanswered touch down passes by quarterback Craig Ochs boosted UM to the win. The next week Atlantic-10 foe Hofstra battled the Griz down to the wire, Montana scoring two late fourth quarter TDs for a 41 -23 victory, with the key play a 96-yard kickoff return for a score by Jefferson Heidelberger. The roof caved in a week later, as host Sam Houston State downed Montana 41-29, in a final score that was not indicative of the Bearkats’ domi nance, as they gained 512 total yards. In its final non-league win, UM used a late touch down catch by Heidelberger from back-up QB Jeff Disney to squeak out a 27-16 victory over new

(2006) Big Sky member Northern Colorado. Bear receiver Vincent Jackson, a 6-6 senior, had 15 catches for 227 yards. A week after the UNC win, the Griz opened con ference play with a 42-21 victory at Weber State, taking advantage of four Wildcat turnovers and three touchdown passes by Ochs. A week later, UM won its 12th Homecoming game in a row, but it took a blocked field goal by senior tackle Jonny Varona with 30 seconds left to preserve the 24-22 win over Idaho State. It was deja vu the following week in Cheney, Wash., as Eastern Washington and Montana squared off for the Big Sky lead. This time it was linebacker Shane MacIntyre, playing the role of hero, blocking a game-tying 38-yard field with 18 seconds remain ing, as the Griz beat the 23rd-ranked Eagles 31-28. After a bye week, the Grizzlies looked a bit rusty and suffered three turnovers, losing their first (and only) Big Sky game, 35-32 at Portland State. The Vikings rushed for 207 yards. Montana ended the season with league wins over Northern Arizona (34-22), Sacramento State (5221), and beat Montana State 38-22 in the 103rd meeting of the teams to claim the Big Sky’s regularseason championship. The Griz held respectable leads in those three games at 34-0 versus NAU, 457 against Sac Sac, and 38-16 vs. MSU. Once again Montana had an impressive run in the playoffs, beating Northwestern State (56-7), New Hampshire (47-17), and Sam Houston State (3413) at home on their way to the l-AA championship game. The title game, a 31-21 setback versus James Madison in Chattanooga, Tenn., was played on aw ful field conditions. Each time a player tried to make a cut on the grass playing surface, huge chunks of

MISSOULA, MT - Two Division l-AA heavyweights squared off, and the third-ranked Grizzlies held off the 11th-ranked Maine Black Bears for a hard-fought 27-20 victory in the 2004 opener for the teams. A home-opener record crowd of 23,228 WashingtonGrizzly Stadium fans saw the Grizzlies overcome a 6-3 halftime deficit. The Black Bears (0-1) scored first when quarterback Ron Whitcomb connected with Christian Pereira for a 4yard touchdown. The only other scoring in the first half was a 32-yard field goal by Griz “true” freshman kicker Dan Carpenter, making the score 6-3 Black Bears at intermission. Montana (1-0) regained the lead when quarterback Craig Ochs hit senior receiver Jefferson Heidelberger on a 25-yard TD pass.

MISSOULA, M T - The second-ranked Grizzlies played their second foe from the Atlantic-10 Conference in as many weeks, and had two big plays to pull out a victory over the unranked Hofstra Pride. Montana quarterback Craig Ochs threw for a careerhigh 364 yards and a touchdown in leading the Grizzlies’ evolving air attack. Ochs’ main target was fellow senior Jefferson Heidelberger, who had career-highs of 12 receptions for

147 yards. His 12 receptions ties him for the fifth most in single-game history. The biggest play was by senior speedster Levander Segars. Segars turned a 15-yard crossing pattern into a 75-yard tackle-breaking touchdown, which broke open a 20-20 tie to give Montana a 27-20 lead late in the third quarter. UM never trailed after Segars’ highlight film run. Segars finished with six catches for 108 yards. Heidelberger provided the other big play for Montana, breaking loose for a 96-yard kickoff for a score with 10:25 left in the game. It was the fourth longest kickoff return in school history, tying Heidelberger’s own mark of 96 yards on a return in 2002. Hofstra junior QB Bobby Seek passed for 300 yards and a TD, while sophomore halfback Terry Crenshaw rushed for 104 yards.

Griz QB Craig Ochs took several big hits and was forced to leave the game with a leg injury in the closing minutes. Ochs finished with 198 yards passing and a TD. Senior signal-caller Jeff Disney passed for 76 yards and a score - his first touchdown pass of 2004. The Grizzlies (2-1) scored 19 points in the final minutes of the game to make the final score look more respectable.

I was in the right place at the right time.” For the second consecutive week the Griz blocked a field goal attempt in the final moments to secure a victory. “You can’t count out the Montana Grizzlies,” Hauck said in a postgame interview with KGVO radio. “Our kids came to play and fought hard.” Freshman kicker Dan Carpenter, who had missed his last three field goal attempts, hit a 39-yarder with 5:45 remaining, for what turned out to be the gamewinner.

MISSOULA, MT - The Montana Grizzlies blew past their last obstacle - Sam Houston State - on the road to Chattanooga, Tenn., and a chance to compete in their fifth Division l-AA national championship game. They were led by sophomore cornerback Tuff Harris who picked off two key passes in the first half to help the Griz defeat the Bearkats 34-13. The attendance of 23,607 set a record for the largest crowd in a l-AA semifinal game, breaking the old mark of 21,085 set in 1991, when Eastern Kentucky lost 14-7 at Marshall. Redemption was on the minds of the Griz coming into the game remembering their early season 41 -29 loss to the Bearkats in September. Harris’ two picks doubled his season total and nullified the fact that statistically Montana was out-gained in total yards (411 to 368), but M o n t a n a

( j j r i z z i i e s

the one stat that the Griz dominated during the game, and all season long, was in the turnover margin. Coming into the game Bearkat quarterback Dustin Long was sacked three times all season, but Montana’s defense doubled that total with six sacks, three by end Mike Murphy and two by end Dustin Dlouhy. Craig Ochs led all rushers with 77 yards on eight carries. He completed 22-of-30 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns. Despite their 209 total yards on offense in the first half, SHSU scored on two field goals and the Griz led 146 at intermission. SHSU battled back from a 28-6 second-half deficit, and when Stevie Smith rushed for a 1-yard TD, it made the score 28-13 late in the third quarter, but the Griz defense shut the Kats’ out the rest of the game. Griz fans tore both goal posts down, breaking the south goal post into three pieces. “ It was fun to see the fans on our side tear down the goal posts,” said Griz head coach Bobby Hauck.

Defense: UM-Adam Hoge: 12TT, PD; Nick Vella: 10TT; Shane MacIntyre: 9 TT. JMU-Tony LeZotte: 7 TT. CHATTANOOGA, TENN. — Montana’s quest for a third national championship in the past decade was dashed by the James Madison Dukes, on a game played on horrific field conditions. The Dukes controlled the ball for 12-plus more minutes than the Grizzlies, out-gained Montana 314 to 44 yards on the ground (JMU rushed for 20 first downs, while UM had two), and had 18 more plays than UM en route to a 31-21 title victory. Senior QB Craig Ochs made it tough on the Dukes, completing 29-of-38 passes for three touchdowns and a career-high 371 yards. He was not intercepted until the last play of his college career. The Grizzlies rallied from a 17-7 deficit. After Griz linebacker Nick Vella recovered a fumble, Montana cut the JMU lead to 17-14 at the 8:51 mark of the third stanza when Ochs hit Levander Segars for a 17-yard touchdown pass. UM finally retook the lead (21 -17) with 7:29 to go in the third quarter, this time Ochs throwing to tight end Willie Walden for an 8-yard touchdown. But James Madison, which had only two yards of total offense after the first quarter, dominated Montana with its running game from there. The Dukes started from their own 28 on the next series and marched 72 yards on nine straight runs to go ahead 2117 and regain the lead for good, as sophomore halfback Maurice Fenner scored from a yard out. JMU scored its final touchdown and put the game out of reach when sophomore QB Justin Rascati rushed for his second TD of the game, a 6yarder, with 8:00 minutes remaining. Fenner rushed for a game-high 164 yards, while sophomore Alvin Banks gained 88, and Rascati picked up 57. The Dukes averaged 5.1 yards per tote (UM averaged 1.9) on their 61 carries. Junior Jon Talmage, and UM’s three starting senior receivers Segars, Jefferson Heidelberger, and Tate Hancock all had five or more catches, accounting for 22 of UM’s 39 receptions. JMU of the Atlantic 10 Conference, won all three of its playoff games on the road over Lehigh (14-13), Furman (1413), and William & Mary (48-34), and finished 13-2. The Griz wound up 12-3.

BIG SKY CONFERENCE

Senior Offensive Tackie Brad Rhoades

MONTANA GRIZZLIES • Big Sky Conference he Big Sky Conference enters its 43rd year of athletic competition in 2005-06 pre paring to expand its footprint across the West. The University of Northern Colorado ac cepted an invitation to join the Sky in July of 2005 and will officially become a member in July of 2006. The Big Sky is an NCAA Division I mem ber in all sports, with member institutions classified as l-AA in football. The Big Sky will be in its fifth and final year with the cur rent eight-team m em bership of Eastern Washington, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Portland State, Sac ramento State and Weber State. The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in l-AA football. • The Big Sky Conference was estab lished in 1963 by six charter members Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Ari zona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was replaced by Nevada, which gave the league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987 with the addition of Eastern Washington. • The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Ne vada departed and put the Big Sky back at eight teams. In 1996 Boise State and Idaho left and at the same time the conference added Portland State, Sacramento State and Cal State N orthridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years be fore Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001, giving the Big Sky its cur rent makeup. • With the addition of Northern Colo rado, the Big Sky will spread across seven states spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountain Front. The Big Sky is represented along the entire west coast with schools in Washington, Oregon and California. League schools also range up and down the Rocky Mountains with insti tutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and in 2006, Colorado. Of the eight western-most states in the contiguous United States only one, Ne vada, is not represented in the Big Sky. On Feb 25,1963, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the char ter members as the name of the new con ference. The name Big Sky originated in a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie

of Great Falls, Mont., in 1947 entitled “The Big Sky.” Jack Hollowell, a former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State, and Harry Missildine of the Spokane Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963. • The Big Sky sponsors championships in 14 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In addition, there are also cham pionships in football, and women’s volleyball, golf and soccer. • The 2005-06 season will mark the 18th year that the Big Sky Conference will spon sor championships in women’s sports. The former Mountain West Conference existed from 1982-88, sponsoring championships for women’s sports at the same institutions the Big Sky had men’s programs. The Big Sky merged with the Mountain West in 1988, forming one league for both men and women.

Big Sky Conference

• Doug Fullerton, the fifth commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, will enter his 11th year at the helm. Fullerton took over the Big Sky on July 1,1995, replacing longtim e c o m m is s io n e r Ron S tep he nso n. Stephenson served the league for 14 years. Steve Belko was the commissioner from 1977-81 while John Roning held the post from 1971-77. The first league com m is sioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

James Madison beat the Grizzlies 31-21 in the l-AA championship game in Chattanooga. UM was ranked second in the nation in The Sports Network’s final poll. Montana has now won o utright or shared seven straight conference crowns. In the past 12 seasons Montana has won or shared 10 league titles and finished second the two seasons they did not win or share the championship. • 2003: GRIZ BREAK PLAYOFF RECORD STREAK In 2003 Montana set a l-AA record with its 11th consecutive playoff appearance, passing Eastern Kentucky, which had 10 playoff berths from 1986-1995. The Griz were 9-4 in 2003 and 5-2 in league, finishing in a threeway tie for the Big Sky title. Montana received an at-large bid into the playoffs and suffered a heartbreaking 43-40 double overtime loss in its first-round game against visiting Western Illinois. Ochs battled injuries during the first half of the season, but junior halfback Justin Green had a break-out season, rushing for 1,146 yards and 14 touchdowns.

2005 FOOTBALL • Griz in the NCAA and star halfback Louis Ivory gained just 33 yards on 12 carries. UM’s defense forced three turnovers, and Furman’s sole score came on a Hail Mary pass as time expired. Humphery became Montana’s all-time rusher with 4,070 career yards, ranking sixth in Big Sky history. In 2001, the Griz amassed a school-record 15 wins, going 15-1 overall. Montana had begun the season ranked second in the nation by The Sports Network and then moved up to first nine weeks later and stayed there.

• 2000: THIRD TRIP TO THE TITLE GAME The Griz (13-2) advanced to the championship game for the third time in school history in 2000, playing Georgia Southern in Chattanooga, losing 27-25. In that title contest, starting Griz quarterback Drew Miller was injured late in the first quarter, and Edwards, a sophomore at the time, was forced into action. After trailing 20-3 at halftime in a rain-soaked Finley Stadium, the Griz took a 23-20 lead early in the fourth quarter on a short run by the record-setting Humphery. However, that lead was short-lived as Eagle halfback and Walter Payton Award winner Adrian Peterson broke loose for a 57-yard touchdown on GU’s first play from scrimmage after Humphery’s TD run, and held on for the win.

• 1999: GRIZ BREAK BIG SKY PLAYOFF STREAK In 1999 Montana set a Big Sky record by making its seventh consecutive playoff appearance. The old mark of six straight was set by former conference member Idaho from 1985-90. Youngstown State, the winningest l-AA program in the 1990s with 103 victories and Montana (second with 93 wins) met in a nipand-tuck first round playoff game. The Penguins, who had defeated the Griz in a 1994 semifinal game in Ohio, kicked a late field goal for

About a week after the loss to the Penguins in £99, head coach Mick Dennehy left to become the mentor at Utah State (where he coached until 2004). A couple of weeks after Dennehy’s departure, Glenn left Northern Colorado and became Montana’s 32nd head coach

• SHORT WIN DROUGHT IN PLAYOFFS The Griz endured a three-game losing streak in the playoffs from 1997-99. In 1997 McNeese State revenged a 1994 quarterfinal playoff loss (30-28) at Montana, the host Cowboys winning by a 1914 margin this time around, on a last-second touchdown in a firstround game. In 1998 Montana suffered its worst playoff loss ever, a 52-9 shel lacking at Western Illinois. A year later the Griz lost in the final two minutes to the Penguins, yet by 2000 they were playing for their third championship.

• RUNNERS-UP IN 1996 All-American quarterback Dave Dickenson had graduated; popular 10-year head coach Don Read had retired; and the Griz faithful were worried about the future. However, Montana reeled 14 straight wins to advance to the title game, and as in the prior season, the opponent was Marshall. Unfortunately the Herd had bolstered their line-up with quarterback Eric Kresser and wide receiver Randy Moss, two Division l-A transfers, and they were too much for the Griz, host Marshall easily winning 49-29. That 1996 showdown was between l-AA’s two top-ranked teams, and it was the first time in playoff history that two undefeated (14-0) teams squared off for the crown. In the losing effort at Marshall, Griz quarterback Brian Ah Yat set playoff records for pass completions (36) and total plays (67), and Joe Douglass set a record for receptions with 13. Douglass had an extraordinary senior season, setting single season records with 82 catches for 1,469 yards and 18 touchdowns.

• 1995 THE FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP The Grizzlies won their first national championship in 1995 with a last-second, 22-20 come-from-behind victory over host Marshall and quarterback Chad Pennington in front of a playoff-record crowd of 32,106. Dickenson and the Griz defense were unerring, as “ Dicky” passed for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns en route to winning their first three playoff games by a combined score of 163-14. In the title game, Dickenson orchestrated a 12-play, 72-yard scoring drive, culminating with a 25-yard field goal by Andy Larson with 39 seconds remaining. The key play in the winning drive came on a fourth-and-three from the 50-yard line, when Dickenson hit wide receiver Mike Erhardt on a short slant pass for a 20-yard gain and a crucial first down. Senior receiver Matt Wells scored both of Montana’s touchdowns in the game. UM set playoff records for first downs (125), pass completions (137), pass attempts (197) and passing yards (1,703).

• 1993 AND 1994: GAINING MOMENTUM

The Grizzlies’ first national championship title came in 1995.

a 30-27 win. It was Montana’s third straight loss in the first round of the playoffs. The Griz had a chance to tie the game, but kicker Kris Heppner slipped as he planted his foot on what appeared to be the muddiest spot on the field and missed wide left. YSU would go on to the title game, losing 59-24 to Georgia Southern.

The Griz squeaked by Northern Iowa 23-20 in 1994 in a firstround contest, and then edged by visiting McNeese State 30-28 in a snow storm on a game-ending field goal by Larson. Unfortunately, Dickenson was injured early in the win over McNeese and unable to play in the semifinal game, a 28-9 loss to host Youngstown State. In 1993, Montana rolled to a 10-1 season, with its only regularseason blemish a 35-30 setback at Oregon. After the loss to the Ducks, the Griz reeled off nine straight wins and were a perfect 7-0 in the Big Sky, winning their first league title in 11 seasons (since 1982) and just their fourth crown in 31 years.

MONTANA GRIZZLIES • Griz in the NCAA However, M ontana suffered a lastsecond 49-48 first-round home loss to Delaware in 1993 on the frozen grass surface of Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

• ELITE TEAM OF THE 1990s The Grizzlies’ 93 wins in the 1990s were the second most in l-AA, trailing only the Jim Tressell-coached Youngstown State Penguins (103). Montana’s 74.4 (93-32) winning percentage was the third best of the decade, behind Dayton (84.4%, 92-17) and YSU (77.0%, 103-30).

• 1989: GRIZ HOST THEIR FIRST PLAYOFF GAME This was a breakout year, as the Griz hosted a playoff game for the first time in school history and defeated Jackson State 48-7, advancing past the first round for the first time. Montana then hosted Eastern Illinois 25-19 in a quarterfinal game, winning 25-19. The Griz were out-manned in their semifinal fame, a 45-15 setback to eventual national champion Georgia Southern in Statesboro.

• FIRST TWO l-AA PLAYOFF APPEARANCES Montana’s initial trip to the playoffs came five years after the playoff system began, in 1982. The Griz, who earned the Big Sky’s automatic playoff berth with their first league title in 12 years, lost 21-7 at Idaho, as quarterback Marty Mornhinweg and tailback Greg Iseman were held in check. Six years later (1988) the Griz received an at-large bid into the playoffs, once again playing at Idaho with the same results, a 38-19 loss. The l-AA playoffs now includes 16 teams. In the playoff’s inaugural season in 1978, four teams competed in the playoffs. In 1981 the NCAA expanded the field to eight teams, and six years later (in 1986) they adopted the current 16-team format. Montana has now participated in 15 of IAA’s 27 tournam ents. Those 15 playoff appearances rank the Grizzlies second in division history. The all-tim e leader is Eastern Kentucky with 17 playoff berths.

Montana was matched up against a North Dakota State team that had gone 36-3 in the last four seasons. Swarthout, whose first head coaching job was at Montana, came to UM from Texas where he was an assistant coach and the color “Texas orange” was prominent. Soon after his arrival, he changed the Grizzlies’ primary color from maroon to copper, or “Texas Orange.” (The Grizzlies switched back to the maroon color prior to the 1996 season). That ‘69 team featured quarterback Ray Brum, three of UM’s top career rushers in Steve Caputo, Les Kent, and Jeff Hoffman, as well as safety Karl Stein, cornerback Roy Robinson, and linemen Larry Miller and Tuufuli Uperesa on defense and kicker Dan Worrell. The second-ranked Griz entered the Camellia Bowl as seven-point underdogs. Unfortunately, due to NCAA junior college transfer rules, Kent, Blanca, Stein, Tom McMahon, and three other JC transfers were not permitted to play in the bowl game. Topranked NDSU won the game 30-3. The Grizzlies had their ups-and-downs in 1970, but they pulled out some close encounters and once again went unscathed during the regular season with a 10-0 record. This tim e around qua rte rba ck Gary B erding, fu tu re NFL s ta n d o u t Steve Okoniewski, two other JC transfers, and three freshmen were declared ineligible for the championship game again against North Dakota State. That 1970 Montana team set two school records that are still in the books, 728 carries for an average of 338.4 rushing yards a game. However, those gaudy rushing statistics were not enough, as NDSU won 31-16 en route to a second straight NCAA College Division crown.

• 1969 AND 1970: MONTANA PLAYS FOR COLLEGE DIVISION TITLES Montana played for its first national championship in 1969. In what was just his third season as head coach, Jack Swarthout and his wishbone offense went undefeated and untied for the first time in school history. The Griz went a perfect 10-0 in the regularseason and won their first ever Big Sky championship. That unblemished record and league title earned the Griz a trip to Sacramento, Calif., and the Camellia Bowl and a shot at the NCAA’s “College Division” national title.

MONTANA GRIZZLIES • Washington-Grizzly Stadium • The Home of the Grizzlies he long-time dream of an on-campus foot ball facility was initiated in August of 1985, as Missoula businessman Dennis R. Wash ington and the employees of Washington Corporations provided a gift of $1 million. In recognition of the gift, UM’s facility was named Washington-Grizzly Stadium. There are 48 private boxes located on the east and west sides of the stadium. They are individually decorated and fur nished by their respective leasees. This is the 20th season that The Univer sity of Montana Grizzlies have been play ing in W ashington-Grizzly Stadium/John Hoyt Field since the mid-way point of the 1986 season. Since that time the Griz have racked up an impressive 120-16 record. The first game played in the stadium was on October 18,1986, and the Grizzlies reg istered a 38-31 come-from-behind win over Idaho State. In 2004, Montana was ranked second in the nation in attendance among Division l-AA schools, averaging a school-record 22,118 in 10 home games. With 23,867 in attendance at last year’s Grizzly-Bobcat game, the Grizzlies broke their old record of 23,687, set in 2003 in a homecoming contest against Cal Poly. Of Montana’s 10 home contests last sea son, nine of them rank in the top 20 for alltime attendance in Washington-Grizzly Sta dium. In 2003 Montana set Big Sky Conference records with 163,532 fans in seven home gam es fo r an average a tte n d a n ce of 23,362.

• Undefeated at Home Montana went undefeated at home in 1994, 1995, and 1996, and reeled off 30 straight victories. The win streak started with a 41 -7 win over Sonoma State on Sept. 3, 1994 and ended on a 40-35 setback to Eastern Washington on Oct. 18 of 1997. That win skein is the fifth longest home win ning streak in l-AA history. The Grizzlies started another winning streak in 2004 going 10-0 at home.

• Stadium Expansions The facility underwent its second expan sion in the spring and summer of 2003, as approximately 4,000 seats were added on to the north end zone section of Washing ton-Grizzly Stadium, which increased the capacity to its current 23,183. The stadium was first expanded in the spring of 1995 with end zone seating on both the north and south sides.

n t a n a

r i z z I i e s

A few more additional seats were added in 2002, bringing the capacity to 19,005. Prior to the 1995 expansion there were 12,500 permanent seats. When grass end zone seating was available, the capacity was approximately 15,000. GrizVision was added for the 2002 sea son, featuring a state-of-the-art message center w hich features game sta tistics, player profiles, digital replays, and shots of the crowd. The Griz Vision screen is the largest in Division l-AA, measuring 26 feet by 36 feet and was brought in from Times Square in New York City. The natural-grass stadium gave way to SprinTurf for the 2001 season. A million dollars was given by an anonymous donor for the new playing surface. The field was also named ‘John Hoyt Field” that year at the request of the anonymous donor, in honor of a long-time Grizzly booster. New men’s locker rooms measure more than 4,000 square feet. When Adams Center, which is adjacent to the stadium, was renovated in 1999, a

new 7,000 square foot weight room, a 4,500 square foot athletic treatment center, the Jacobson Academic Center, and a meet ing room with big screen videos were added. In addition, a new women’s locker room covering 4,000 square feet, a 3,200 square foot equipment center, and three new meeting rooms totaling 2,000 square feet were added.

FIGHT SONG - UP WITH MONTANA The U M fig h t song

“ Up with Montana ” was w r itte n b y R ic h a rd H o w e ll o f the U M law school in 1914. In 2002 the N e w Y o rk Tim es singled out U M ’s fig h t song in an article about humorous college fig h t songs, s a y in g , “ A t (U M ), fans expect their team to devour its en emies w h ile s till alive.”

Up With Montana... “ Up with Montana, boys, down with the foe, Old Montana s up fo r a victory; She ’11 shoot her backs around the foe men s line; A hot time is coming now, oh, brother mine. Up with Montana, boys, down with the foe,Good old Grizzly’ll tri umph today; And the squeal o f the pig w ill float on the air, From the tummy o f the Grizzly Bear. ”
