MONTANA GRIZZLIES » 2006 OUTLOOK 2006 OUTLOOK: GRIZ VYING FOR 14TH l-AA APPEARANCE IN A ROW O FF E N S IV E O V E R V IE W Hilliard is one of six-plus starters, 19 lettermen, and five all-league picks who are back on offense. The addition of transfers Josh Swogger at quarterback, Craig Cham bers at wide receiver, and running back Reggie Bradshaw adds needed diversity and fire-power to the offensive side of the football. “I like the off-season that our offense had,” said Hauck, who is 29-11 in three years at UM. “We are improved from last season. We are on track to move the ball in a vari ety of different ways on the offensive side of the ball. It’s my belief that we’ll go as far as our offensive line takes us, and I am en couraged by the work done by them. It was fun to watch them come together in spring practice.”

Senior running back and Walter Payton/All-American Candidate Lex Hilliard

perennial Big Sky Conference pre season favorite, The University of Montana Grizzlies will more-thanlikely find themselves with that familiar “X” on their backs once again this season — and will be tabbed as the favorite to win yet another league crown. And why shouldn’t the Griz expect to “bear” (sic) that burden again in 2006? Montana has won or shared eight Big Sky Conference championships in a row and garnered league titles 11 out of the past 13 seasons. The Grizzlies have also registered a record 13 Division l-AA playoff appearances in a row. UM has been ranked in The Sports Network’s top 25 Division IAA 184 of the past 188 weeks. That storied history is just one of the rea sons that the Grizzlies enter the season more optimistic than ever. Another reason Montana could be in the thick of the Big Sky title hunt once again is that it returns 15 starters and 45 lettermen from an 8-4 team that was ranked 11th in USA Today/ESPN’s final poll and 12th in The Sports Network’s season-ending poll. Another couple of reasons Montana could be in the conference title hunt are Walter Payton Award candidate Lex Hilliard who returns at running back, and Buck Buchanan Award nominee Mike Murphy who is back at defensive end.

Add to that previous list the addition of three quality l-A transfers, as well as those returning starters and lettermen listed ear lier, and it all adds up to high hopes and expectations for fourth-year Griz head coach Bobby Hauck, his staff, and players.

Freshman quarterback Clint Stapp

Senior quarterback Josh Swogger

“I like our quarterbacks,” Hauck said. ‘Josh Swogger is a proven commodity, and we have players who add to our depth and have started at that position, which is in valuable. The running back position is one of the strongest on the team, and we’re led by Lex Hilliard, but we’ve also got terrific depth there. “The wide receiver position has come a million miles from where it was a year ago,” Hauck said. “Mike Ferriter and Eric Allen had tremendous springs, and we expect

2006 FOOTBALL * OUTLOOK Craig Chambers and Ryan Bagley to be bigtime players. “That’s a strong group of athletes. They’re young, and there are nothing but encouraging things going on in our offense, and in fact, when you look at it, we have only three senior starters there right now,” Hauck said. • QUARTERBACK Swogger, a 6-5,237-pound senior trans fer from Washington State, had an out standing spring and earned the starting job. Sophomore Cole Bergquist (6-2, 192) was 5-3 as a starter, and senior Jason Washington (6-2, 195) started four games. Redshirt freshman Clint Stapp (6-3, 215) could also figure into the mix, and UM signed highly touted in-state quarterback Andrew Selle. Last year Bergquist passed for 1,275 yards and eight touchdowns, while Wash ington passed for 535 yards and four scores. ‘Josh is an experienced guy. He’s ma ture, and he’s got a lot of leadership abili ties to go along with a big arm and his un derstanding of the game,” Hauck said. ‘Josh brings something to the table that some of the younger players can’t, and we’re hop ing for him to take the reigns and lead our team this fall. “Behind him we’ve got Cole Bergquist who started eight games. Clint Stapp is charging forward as well, and Andrew Selle is poten tially the best quarterback that we’ve re cruited, and then we’ve got Jason Washing ton who started four games back for us.”

Senior center Jeff Marshall

Junior tackle and Honors Candidate Cody Balogh

• HALFBACK Hilliard (6-1, 228) begins his senior sea son ranked second in school history with 2,884 career rushing yards and 34 touch downs. In 2005, he was a unanimous first team All-Big Sky selection for the second season in a row and a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, when he rushed for 1,322 yards and 12 touchdowns. Hilliard was ranked 19th in the nation and second in the league in rushing last year, averaging 110.17 yards a game. “We hope that Lex has a chance to leave here as the school’s career rushing leader and also the Payton Award winner, and for that to happen, we need to come together on the offensive line, and Lex needs to stay healthy,” Hauck said. “Hopefully, we can make that happen by being smart with the number of reps he has early in the season and have him playing in November and December.” Graduated JR Waller left UM as the eighth-ranked rusher in school history with 1,726 yards, but new addition junior Reggie Bradshaw (6-0, 215), a transfer from Louis ville, is a quality player, and veteran senior Brady Green (5-9, 195) brings quickness and toughness to the table. Bradshaw was injured last season and rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown in 2004 for the Cardinals. Green rushed for 174 yards and two scores last year and was named a first team All-Big Sky special teams player. “Reggie Bradshaw provides us with a powerful, explosive back-up, and Brady Green sees the field maybe as well as any

of our running backs,” Hauck said. “When you go down our depth at running back, we have a strong group with Andrew Schmidt, Brandon Utterback, Thomas Fletcher, and our incoming freshmen.” • OFFENSIVE LINE This was an area in which the Griz suf fered key injuries a year ago, and three starters are now gone due to graduation. However, junior Cody Balogh (6-7, 300) started all 12 games last season and is the incumbent at left tackle, while senior cen ter Jeff Marshall (6-5, 285) had 11 starts. At left tackle, Balogh is backed up by promising redshirt frosh Chris Dyk (6-8, 281). Marshall, a second team all-league pick last season, did not participate in spring ball due to an injury, and he may not be ready to play right away. In that case, vet eran Ryan Wells, a 6-4, 292-pound senior, will get the starting nod at center, and redshirt freshman Dan Girard (6-4 1/2,285) will provide solid depth. Sophomore Colin Dow (6-5,315) earned the starting job at right guard and was tabbed by coach Hauck as a 2006 “honors can d id ate.” Redshirt freshman Ryan Schmidt (6-1, 283) adds depth. Sophomore Brent Russum (6-4, 290) also had an outstanding spring and earned the starting berth at right tackle and hon ors candidate status prior to the season. Junior letterman Ryan Gustafson (6-5,280) and redshirt freshman Kevin Bell (6-4, 275) are vying for playing time at that position.

Junior Eric Michel (6-6, 281) earned the starting job at left guard, with promising redshirt freshman Terran Hillesland (6-7, 313) pushing him for the starting berth. Sophomore Trapper Hight missed the ma jority of spring ball with an injury but will provide depth there this fall. “We have one senior slated to start in Ryan Wells at center; other than that, we have two juniors in Balogh and Michel and then sophomores Russum and Dow,” Hauck said. “It’s a young group. It’s a good-sized group, which had a good spring and a good off-season, and I believe our team will go as far as that group can take us. Guys like Terran Hillesland and Chris Dyk, a couple of redshirt freshmen, will challenge to start as the season goes on.” • WIDE RECEIVER Jon Talmage graduated and is gone, along with his 176 career catches and 2,566 career receiving yards, but juniors Eric Allen (6-3, 208) and Ryan Bagley (6-4, 210) are returning starters, and with the addition of Craig Chambers (6-4, 200), a junior trans fer from the University of Washington, and the improved play of Mike Ferriter (6-1,201), this should be a dynamic position for the Griz. Bagley had a team-high 50 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns in 2005, while Allen had 14 grabs for 106 yards. Chambers was the second-leading receiver for the Huskies the past two seasons and had 31 receptions for 573 yards and a teamhigh six receiving scores last year. Bagley was an honorable mention all-league se lection last year.

D E F E N S IV E O V E R V IE W

Sophomore wide receiver Mike Ferriter

Ferriter was the team’s third-leading re ceiver a year ago when he had 20 grabs for 182 yards and a score, while fellow sopho more Matt Troxel (5-9,173) had 14 catches for 117 yards. Sophomore Rob Schulte (58, 180) should also see action, along with redshirt freshman Tyler Palmer (6-3, 199). “There’s been incredible growth at the wide receiver position in attitude, maturity, strength, and in their ability to make plays and understand the offense,” Hauck said. “Eric Allen has transformed himself into a big-time player. Mike Ferriter and Ryan Bagley have really come on strong, and Craig Chambers is as explosive a player as there is in the conference. They are backed up by some tremendous young talent.” • TIGHT END Youth dominates the tight end/H-back position, with redshirt freshmen Dan Beaudin (6-5,228), Kevin Klaboe (6-2,218), and Carrier Morrell (6-1, 221) in the mix, along with a couple of “true” freshmen. Un fortunately, junior Ross Brunnelle, an hon orable mention all-conference pick last sea son, had to end his career due to injury. “We are very young, and as with so many young guys, it’s kind of a work in progress, especially at the tight end spot where they need to get bigger and stronger after you come into our program,” Hauck said. “It is the position where I see us potentially play ing a true freshman, but Dan Beaudin’s done a nice job. He is a gifted athlete who

Murphy heads up a group which includes seven-plus starters, 26 lettermen, and seven all-conference selections. The Griz “D” was ranked among the national lead ers in a couple of key categories: sixth in turnover margin at +1.54 a game and 16th in scoring defense, allowing 18.17 points a game. The Griz are also relatively young on defense with four seniors slated to start, but they return 12 players who started in at least one game last season, and seven play ers started in 10 or more contests. “Defensively we want to continue to not allow teams to put points on the board,” Hauck said. “It was a salty defense a year ago in a conference that had a good num ber of talented and well-drilled defenses, and I believe that we were the best by a long shot in our league last season. I also believe that we had one of the better, if not one of the best, defenses in our school’s history last year, and I expect nothing else from that group this season because of their proven experience and tenacious work ethic.” • DEFENSIVE END Four-year starter and injury-plagued Lance Spencer has graduated after rack ing up 23 career sacks, the fifth most in school history, but Murphy (6-3,240) is back and has 20.5 career sacks, including a team-high eight last season, despite play ing the last half of the year with a broken thumb. Senior Dustin Dlouhy (6-2, 235) is a 2006 “honors candidate” but missed spring football to recover from an injury. He was UM’s fourth leading tackier last season with 51 stops. Juniors Kroy Biermann (6-3, 230) and Mike Stadnyk (6-4, 253) are talented back ups who could start for a lot of teams. Biermann was fifth on the team in tackles last season with 48 stops and is also an “honors candidate” this year. Sophomores Karl Pitcher (6-2, 2250) and David Haile (65, 240) will both see action. “Defensive end is a strength for us, start ing with Mike Murphy,” Hauck said. “We believe that he is going to be a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award. Dustin Dlouhy, Kroy Biermann, and Mike Stadnyk have all played a substantial number of snaps, and we expect great production out of that

group. We have a couple of young players, Karl Pitcher and David Haile, who provide us with competition and depth.” • DEFENSIVE TACKLE All-American Alan Saenz graduated, but senior Kerry Mullan (6-3, 290) started in 10 games, and sophomores Craig Mettler (64, 250) and Jesse Carlson (6-3, 255) had starts a year ago and are experienced de spite their youth. Mettler is one of the Griz zlies’ top returning tacklers with 36, as is Mullan, who had 21 stops a year ago. Carlson missed most of spring drills with an injury. Junior Kelly Kain (6-4, 288) was playing well last season but missed UM’s final eight games with an injury. Sophomore Dan Carter (6-5, 315) was moved from offense to defense and should contribute right away. “We had a rash of injuries at defensive tackle last season which kind of mirrored our entire team, and we’re hoping with the change we have in our strength program we won’t have the number of injuries we’ve had the last three years,” Hauck said. “We also need some young guys to come along at defensive tackle. It’s an extremely young group. Kerry Mullan is our only senior there, and he’s by far the most experienced. We like the depth and the play-making ability of Craig Mettler, Jesse Carlson, Kelly Kain, and Dan Carter.” • LINEBACKER Montana’s emotional leader and one of its defensive captains, Shane MacIntyre,

graduated, but juniors Tyler Joyce (12 starts), Kyle Ryan (10 starts), and Loren Utterback (two starts) are returning start ers. Utterback (6-1, 215) missed half the season with a leg injury. Weakside linebacker Joyce (6-5, 227) had a team-leading 83 tackles last season, while middle linebacker Ryan (6-3, 225) was second on the squad with 76 stops, and both players were honorable mention all-league selections. Other experienced players back are jun iors Alex Hawthorne (6-1, 220) and Muckie Foreman (6-1,201), along with sophomores Tyler Corwin (6-3,230) and Shawn Lebsock (6-0, 214). Junior letterman Tom Martin (510,200), redshirt freshman Jace Palmer (63, 207) and Tyler Pelluer (6-2, 222) are also vying for playing time. “The linebacking core is expected to be a strength of our defense,” Hauck said. “They all have good frames. They all run well, and they’re all becoming stronger. The best thing about them is that they all have game experience, but none of them are seniors, and we’ll have all of our top nine back for at least another year. We like this group. They’re leaders, and they’re hardchargers; they understand the defense, and we just expect them to carry the day this year for us on defense. “My belief is that Mike Murphy is the best defensive player in our conference, and Tyler Joyce may be the second best,” Hauck said. “Tyler is a terrific talent. He’s tough, he’s big, he’s fast, he’s got it all, and his future is bright. When you add Loren Utterback, Kyle Ryan, Shawn Lebsock, Tyler

Corwin, Alex Hawthorne, Muckie Foreman, Jace Palmer and Tyler Pelluer into that mix, you’ve got an awfully talented and deep group of linebackers who are all going to contribute.” •

CORNERBACK Senior Tuff Harris (6-0, 197) started all 12 games a year ago, and junior Jimmy Wil son (5-11,184) had six starts. Wilson had a team-high 10 pass deflections in 2005 and tied for the second most interceptions on the team with three. Harris had 30 solo tack les, which were the third most on the team. Both Harris and Wilson were honorable mention all-league picks in 2005. Junior Quinton Jackson (5-11,176) and sophomore Tim Parks (5-10,178) add qual ity depth, while junior Brandon Dwyer, who was moved from wide receiver to corner, is vying for playing time. Junior Chris Clark (5-11, 165) saw considerable action last season before being sidelined with a leg injury and did not participate in spring drills as he recovered from that injury. “We feel good about our corner group, and that all begins with Jimmy Wilson and Tuff Harris,” Hauck said. “They are both tal ented; they’re good tacklers, and they have great confidence in their ability to cover and in their catch-up speed. I believe that Tim Parks, Chris Clark, and Quinton Jackson all have the same type of speed and confi dence in their ability to catch up and cover wide receivers and get after folks, and we’ve got depth provided by Brandon Dwyer as well.”

penter to be very productive and be a real strength for our football team.” • KICKER/PUNTER At punter, senior Tyson Johnson has ranked among the Division l-AA leaders since his freshman season. He was second team all-league last season and ranked 17th in the country, averaging 41.03 yards a punt, and 20 of his 63 kicks were inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. Junior kicker Dan Carpenter has been a second team All-Big Sky pick the past two seasons. Last year he made 14-of-21 field goal attempts, including a career-long 50yarder at Northern Arizona.

Junior linebacker Alex Hawthorne

• RETURNS Tuff Harris was a first team All-Big Sky pick at punt returner and was ranked 14th in the nation, averaging 12.6 yards on 25 re turns, while Schulte was ranked 14th in the l-AA ranks by averaging 26.1 yards on 23 kickoff returns. Schulte, Troxel and Jackson are all work ing as punt returners, while Jackson, Bradshaw and Troxel may return kickoffs.

• SAFETY Junior Torrey Thomas (6-0, 190) started all 12 contests last year, as did his brother, Tyler, who graduated. Senior Matt Lebsock (5-11, 186) and junior Van Cooper Jr. (6-2, 200) have considerable experience. Torrey Thomas, an honorable mention All-Big Sky pick a year ago, had a team-best four inter ceptions and is the team’s fifth leading re turning tackier with 47 stops. Redshirt freshmen Brandon Fisher (5-10, 200) and Shann Schillinger (6-1, 193) each missed last season due to injury, and both will see playing time.

He makes good things happen out there on the foot ball field.

ago. SDSU has 14 starters back from a 6-5 team. UM’s other non-league foe is Cal Poly on Nov. 4. Last year the Griz beat the Mustangs 36-27 in the regular-season and lost 35-21 in a l-AA first-round playoff game in Missoula. Cal Poly returns 17 starters from a 9-4 team, including sophomore running back James Noble, who rushed for a school-record 1,578 yards and 16 touchdowns last season. “It’s a pretty demanding non-league schedule,” Hauck said. “Obviously taking Iowa on at Kinnick Stadium the first of Sep tember is a daunting task. They don’t lose at home to anyone, let alone a l-AA school. We’ll need to have our A’ game in order to have a chance to be in that football game. “South Dakota State returns a good nucleus of players off a team that was tal ented and hard-nosed a year ago,” Hauck said. “They played us extremely tough. They played Georgia Southern extremely tough, as well as Cal Poly — all playoff teams. They’re a team that has to feel like they let us off the hook last year and that they had a chance to beat us but couldn’t quite get it done. I am certain they’ll come in here look ing for an upset and feeling good about their opportunity to do that. “Cal Poly is a team that has had the (l-AA) player of the year on defense the last two years, and they were probably the most tal ented team, outside of the University of Or egon, that we played last year,” Hauck said. “We got after them the first time we played them, but we didn’t have enough left in our tanks to get them the second time we played them in the playoffs. They will come in with an extremely talented group of players this year and give us everything we can handle.” • BIG SKY SCHEDULE The Griz open their Big Sky slate at home on Sept. 23 against Sac State and then have difficult back-to-back league road contests at Portland State and Eastern Washington. After that two-game road swing, UM has three conference home contests against Northern Arizona, Idaho State and Montana State and road games at Weber State and new Big Sky member Northern Colorado. “I like our chances to compete this sea son, especially considering that we’ve won eight straight Big Sky championships and have a record streak of 13 straight NCAA playoff appearances right now,” Hauck said. “I see us as being one of the teams that is senior, or at least upperclassmen oriented, and many of the teams in the conference fit that bill last year, and we did not. No matter what, though, each league game will be a battle. That will never change.”

Career highs: Rushing: He had 34 carries for 237 yards vs. Cal Poly, 10/22/05; four touchdowns vs. Northwestern State, 2004. Receiving: He had six catches for 43 yards vs. Sam Houston State 2004.

Montana Lex begins his senior season ranked second in school his tory with 2,884 career rushing yards. He has 34 career rushing touchdowns. He is the fourth player in school history to rush for more than 2,000 career yards. He trails all-time leader Yohance Humphery (4,070 yards, 1998-2001) by 1,186 yards. He has rushed for 100-plus yards in a game 11 times in his career. His 216 career points rank him sixth in school history.

2005 He was a unanimous first team All-Big Sky Conference selec tion for the second season in a row and a finalist for the Walter Payton Award. His 1,322 yards rushing in 2005 were the sec ond most in school history. (Humphery rushed for 1,658 yards in 2001). He was ranked 19th in the nation and second in the league in rushing, averaging 110.17 yards a game. He had six 100-yard rushing games. His 237-yard rushing game against Cal Poly on October 22 is the second highest total in school history.

Shrine Game and the Montana-North Dakota All-Star Game. His high school football coach was Bob Applegate. He set a school record as a sophomore by rushing for 1,384 yards and 14 touchdowns and was named to the bune’s“Super State Team” that season. His junior football team was the State “AA” runner-up. Career-wise he also set Flathead High School records by rushing for 3,419 yards and 44 touch downs and compiling 4,410 all-purpose yards. Lex was a two-time all-league selection in track, running the 100, 200 and 4x100 meter relay, and he also threw the shot put. His sophomore, junior, and senior track teams all won state “AA” championships.

Personal He is a sociology major. Lex’s parents are Elvis Hilliard and Leslie Moeller of Kalispell. Birth date: July 30, 1984.

Quoting Coach Bobby H ck:“Lex has had a tremend u a career at Montana to this point. It’s hard to believe that he’s al ready a senior. I wish we had the luxury of redshirting him as a freshman, but that is not the way that it worked out. Our hopes for him this year are to break our school career records for rush ing yards and touchdowns, to be an All-American and win the Payton Award. If that were to happen, I would say that Lex would be considered the greatest back in school history. All of those things are out there for him this season, and it’s my hope that he can attain those goals. I believe Lex would be the first to say that he doesn’t care about those things as long as we win football games. He’s a team guy and puts individual goals secondary, which leads to success for the program.”

2004 He was first team All-Big Sky and rushed for a team-high 972 yards and 17 touchdowns in just four starts. His 17 rushing touch downs were the most by any running back in the conference. His 972 yards rushing that season tied him for the seventh-most in a season at Montana. He had five 100-yard rushing games.

2003 He was a redshirt candidate as a “true” freshman but was acti vated in the second game of the season. 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 and was ranked ninth in the Big Sky in rushing.

High School He earned eight letters at Flathead High School: four in foot ball, three in track, and one in wrestling. He was team MVP in football as a junior and senior and a three-time all-state and all-conference pick in football. He participated in the East-West

Coach Bobby Hauck quotes: “I believe that Mike Murphy is the best defensive player in the Big Sky Conference, and he may be the best defensive player in the country, but I have a slanted view because I get to coach him and see the work that he puts in on a daily basis. He’s like Lex Hilliard in that he doesn’t care about the individual accolades, he just wants our football team to win, which makes him a great leader and not just a great player. He’s 20 pounds up from where he was two years ago. If he does what I anticipate he’ll do from a sack total and a tackle for loss total, our defense is going to have a big year.”

He was third on the team with seven sacks for minus-39 yards and tied for the team-high (with now-graduated Shane MacIntyre and Alan Saenz) with two fum ble recoveries. 2004 He was another “true” freshman who saw action for the Griz zlies due to injuries at his position and because of his abilities. He played in 14 of 15 games. (He missed UM’s first-round l-AA playoff game against Northwestern State due to an injury.) He had the third most (tied) tackles for loss on the team with seven.

He’s a nasty football player who plays extremely hard. He comes off the ball and has great speed. He’s learned to play with great leverage. He’s got good hands in pass rush and the ability to tackle and chase down quarterbacks and running backs in the open field.”

Quoting Coach Bobby Hauck: “Loren is a hard-working, hardcharging football player. He played small high school football and lost most of last season because of injury inhibited his development to a degree. With that being said, we are expecting great things out of him. He comes on every time that he gets a chance to take the field. He learns best by playing. If he stays healthy this year, he’ll get better and better as a football player on a weekly basis.”

EUGENE, OREGON -- Montana was limited to just seven first downs, while the Ducks had 21, and Oregon’s 426 total yards more than doubled Montana’s 144 total yards. UM running back Lex Hilliard was held to 15 yards on 13 carries, while QB Jason Washington went 10-for-23 for 85 yards. Ducks kicker Paul Martinez kicked a school record six field goals, the most ever by a Griz opponent. Oregon senior quarterback Kellen Clemens was 24-of-400 for 275 yards and 2 TDs. The 33-point defeat was the largest margin of defeat for the Grizzlies since a 41-3 loss at Boise State in 1990. The Autzen Stadium crowd of 58,169 is the largest crowd to ever watch a Griz game. The previous high was 55,700, when Montana played the Minnesota Go phers, September 21, 1985 in the Metradome.

M ISSOULA - The ninth-ranked Grizzlies defeated the third-ranked Mustangs 36-27 in a key non-league Division l-AA match-up. AWashington-Grizzly Stadiumcrowd of 23,565 - the seventh biggest in stadium history (141 games) - saw a game that featured four lead changes and three ties. The Mustangs (5-2/3-0 Great West Football Conference), riding a five-game winning streak, regained the lead with 12:26 left on a 41-yard field goal by junior kicker Nick Coromelas, giving Cal Poly a 27-24 advantage. Montana (5-2/2-1 Big Sky Conference) got the lead back on its next posses sion, however, on a methodical, 11-play, 83-yard drive, as senior halfback JR W aller scored on a six-yard run with 8:17 to go. Cal Poly then drove from its own six-yard line to UM’s 18, but on a secondand-8 from the 18, Mustang senior quarterback Anthony Garnett’s pass was tipped by UMsophomore cornerback Jim m y W ilson and junior safety Van Cooper Jr. made the crucial interception. Montana went three-and-out on its next possession, but on Cal Poly’s first play on its ensuing possession, Garnett was picked off again, this time by sophomore free safety Torrey Thomas and Montana had the victory. The Griz iced the game when junior halfback Lex Hilliard scored on a 21-yard carry with 33 seconds left. Unfortunately, Garnett suffered a serious knee injury on Cal Poly’s final pos session in the closing seconds of the game and was lost for the season. Hilliard had career-highs of 34 carries for 237 yards and a TD. Torrey Thomas led the Griz defense with eight tackles and a key interception. Garnett was 15-of-23-2 for 210 yards and two scores, both to Barden, who had five receptions for 125 yards. Talented redshirt freshman running back James Noble had 22 carries for 144 yards. Cal Poly’s top tackier was junior linebacker Kyle Shotwell who had a gamehigh 17 stops.

fourth quarter, and those, sandwiched with a 42-yard interception return for a TD by sophomore linebacker Alex Hawthorne accounted for the all of the scoring. NAU struggled to find the end zone and was inside the red zone just once, and the Griz held the Jacks to 58 net yards rushing. It was the third shutout of the season for Montana (55-0 over Fort Lewis and 7-0 over South Dakota State).

Lex Hilliard picked up 81 hard-earned yards, while senior JR W aller gained 54 yards. The Griz rushed 47 times for 175 yards. Sophomore linebacker Kyle Ryan led the Griz defense with a career-high nine tackles, and he also had his second interception of the season. Senior safety Tyler Thom as also had a pick (his second of the year). Carpenter was perfect on all three of his field goal attempts against the Lumberjacks and has now made 12 in a row, tying Kirk Duce for the school record for consecutive field goals.

for good. Cummings had 12 carries for 91 yards, while Kris Daniels picked up 87 yards on 21 carries. The Hornets were playing without injured starting quarterback Chris Hurd and running back Ryan Mole. Dan Carpenter made his first field goal attempt at Sac State, a 31-yarder, but his second try from 42 yards out was blocked, ending his school-record skein at 13 straight. Carpenter broke Montana’s school record of 12 set by Kirk Duce in the late 80’s. His 13 consecutive field goals is just short of the league mark of 14, set by Northern Arizona’s Goran Lingmerth in 1986.

BOZEMAN, MONTANA - The third-ranked Grizzlies lost to the 22nd-ranked Bobcats in the 105th meeting of the schools on the gridiron. Playing conditions were not ideal on a slippery turf at Bobcat Stadium, but it was unseasonably warm in Bozeman with the temperature in the mid-40’s. MSU quarterback Travis Lulay passed for 171 yards and rushed for 52, but redshirt freshman halfback Evin Groves was the key, as he rushed 35 times for 143 yards and a touchdown. The Grizzlies finally got on the scoreboard with 10:27 remaining, as Cole Bergquist hit receiver M ike F erriter on a 10-yard touchdown pass on a fourthdown-and-seven from the MSU 10-yard line. Griz junior halfback Lex H illia rd rushed 19 times for 75 yards. Senior JR W aller gained 16 yards on four carries but missed the majority of the game due to a migraine headache. Griz sophomore cornerback Jim m y W ilson picked off his third pass of the season, which ties with Griz safeties Torrey and Tyler Thom as for the most on the team and the second most in the Big Sky this season. Montana sophomore linebackers Tyler Joyce and Kyle Ryan had a game-high 10 tackles each. The Griz had 220 total yards and were 3-of-16 in third down conversions, while the Bobcats had 370 yards and were good on 8-of-19 third down tries. UMaveraged 3.3-yards per play, compared to MSU’s 4.6.

MONTANA GRIZZLIES * BIG SKY CONFERENCE The Big Sky Conference enters its 44th year of athletic competition in 2006-07 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 officially became a member in July of 2006. The Big Sky is an NCAA Division I mem ber in all sports, with member institutions classified as 1-AA in football. The Big Sky will be in its fifth and final year with the current eight-team membership of Eastern Wash ington, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Portland State, Sacramento State and Weber State. The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in 1-AA football. • The Big Sky Conference was es tablished 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.

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 champion ships in 14 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In ad dition, there are also championships in foot ball, and women’s volleyball, golf and soc cer. • The 2006-07 season will mark the 19th year that the Big Sky Conference will sponsor championships in women’s sports. The former Mountain West Conference ex isted from 1982-88, sponsoring champion ships for women’s sports at the same insti tutions 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. Sky

C o n fe re n c e

Doug Fullerton • The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada 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, Sacra mento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years before Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001, giving the Big Sky its current 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 Colorado. Of the eight western-most states in the contiguous United States only one, Nevada, 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

• Doug Fullerton, the fifth commis sioner of the Big Sky Conference, will enter his 12th year at the helm. Fullerton took over the Big Sky on July 1,1995, replacing longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson. Stephenson served the league for 14 years. Steve Belko was the commissioner from 1977-81 while John Roning held the post from 1971 -77.

• 2005: 13th TRIP IN A ROW TO NCAA PLAYOFFS

• 2003: GRIZ BREAK PLAYOFF RECORD STREAK

The Grizzlies added to their Division l-AA record with their 13th straight trip to the playoffs, finishing 8-4, and received an at-large bid into the playoffs. UM won four of its first five games, with the sole loss 47-14 at nationally-ranked Oregon. A 30-24 loss to Eastern Washington was followed by four wins in a row and an 8-2 record. Next was a16-6 loss at Montana State, and a 35-21 first-round setback to 10th-ranked Cal Poly ended UM’s season. Junior halfback Lex Hilliard rushed for 1,322 yards - the sec ond most in Griz history, and the defense was ranked sixth in the country in turnover margin (+1.08). UM has the second most playoff berths ever in l-AA with 16, trailing all-time leader Eastern Kentucky by one (17) game. The Griz have won or shared eight straight conference crowns, and have accomplished that feat 11 of the past 13 years. Mon tana has had 20 winning seasons in a row.

In 2003 Montana set a l-AA record with its 11th consecutive playoff appearance, passing Eastern Kentucky, which held the standard of 10 berths (1986-1995). The Griz were 9-4 and received an at-large bid into the play offs, losing 43-40 in double overtime in a first-round game to vis iting Western Illinois. Junior halfback Justin Green rushed for 1,146 yards. Kicker Chris Snyder ended his Griz career by setting NCAA marks in ca reer points (394), single-season points (124) scored by kicking, most extra points in a career (182), and most consecutive PATs made (126). Defensive end Tim Bush finished his career as Montana’s alltime sacks leader with 34.5 -- the second most in l-AA history.

•2004: FIFTH TRIP TO TITLE GAME IN A DECADE Montana has been one of l-AA’s most dominant programs since the turn of the century, having played for three national championships, winning the title in 2001 and were the runnersup in 2000 and 2004. During that five-year span, the Griz have 68 wins and average an impressive 13.6 victories a season (from 2000-05). Montana was 12-3 in 2004 and 6-1 in the Big Sky, won the league title, and advanced to the l-AA championship game for the fifth time in the last 10 years. The team was led by senior quarterback Craig Ochs and an opportunistic defense. Ochs passed for 3,807 yards and 33 touchdowns and com pleted a league-record 68.7 percent of his attempts. The Griz defense was ranked third in the country in turnover margin at +1.47 and had 38 take-aways. Hilliard tied a school record with 17 touchdown runs, and se nior receiver Jefferson Heidelberger had the second most re ceiving yards in UM single-season history with 1,240. In the playoffs the host Griz beat Northwestern State (56-7), New Hampshire (47-17), and Sam Houston State (34-13), and lost 31-21 to James Madison in the l-AA championship game played in Chattanooga on a slippery, sloppy playing surface.

• 2002: GRIZ TIE DIVISION l-AA’S CONSECUTIVE WIN SKEIN The Grizzlies started the 2002 season with 10 consecutive vic tories and in the process racked up 24 straight victories, tying the l-AA record for consecutive wins. The win streak began with a 30-0 home win on September 22, 2001 over Western Washington and ended with a 30-21 setback at Eastern Washington (in Spo kane) on November 16, 2002. Montana tied Pennsylvania, which won 24 in a row from 1992-95 for the record. Montana also set records for most consecutive Big Sky wins (25) and most league road wins in a row (13). Senior quarterback John Edwards was named the Big Sky’s co-MVP on offense, while UM senior safety Trey Young was the league’s defensive player of the year. Montana defeated Northwestern State 45-14 at home in a firstround playoff game and then lost a 24-20 decision at McNeese State in the quarterfinals.

• 2001: NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Montana won its second l-AA national championship in 2001, defeating Furman University 13-6 in Chattanooga. Edwards engineered a 16-play, 99-yard scoring drive for UM’s only touchdown in the title game, and senior halfback Yohance Humphery gained 142 yards on 30 carries and scored on a twoyard run. The Griz defense limited the Paladins to 121 yards rushing (124 under their season average) and forced three turnovers. Furman’s sole score came on a Hail Mary pass as time expired.

2006 FOOTBALL « POST-SEASON PLAY Humphery ended his illustrious career as Montana’s all-time rusher with 4,070 career yards. The Griz (15-1) won a school-record 15 games. UM began the season ranked second by The Sports Network, moved up to first nine weeks later, and stayed in the top spot for the rest of the year.

• 2000: THIRD TRIP TO TITLE GAME The Griz went 13-2 and advanced to the championship game for the third time in the past six seasons in 2000, playing Georgia Southern in Chattanooga, losing 27-25. Starting Griz quarterback Drew Miller was injured late in the first quarter, and Edwards, a sophomore, was called 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, UM”s lead was short-lived as 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 touchdown run, and the Eagles held on for the win.

• 1999-1997: GRIZ LOSE THREE STRAIGHT FIRST-ROUND PLAYOFF GAMES From 1997-99 the Griz lost three first-round playoff games in a row. However, 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 198590. ~ In the 1999 playoffs, Youngstown State, then coached by cur rent Ohio State mentor Jim Tressell, kicked a late field goal for a 30-27 win. In 1998 Montana suffered its worst playoff loss ever, a 52-9 shell-lacking at Western Illinois. UM’s three-game playoff loss streak began in 1997, when host McNeese State scored on a last-second touchdown for a 19-14 first-round victory.

• RUNNERS-UP IN 1996 Montana reeled off 14 straight wins to advance to the title game, and, as in the prior season, its opponent was Marshall in Huntington, West Virginia. Herd quarterback Eric Kresser and wide receiver Randy Moss, both Division l-A transfers, were too much for the Griz, as host Marshall won easily, 49-20. That 1996 showdown was between l-AA’s two top-ranked teams, and it was the first time in playoff history that two unde feated (14-0) teams squared off for the division crown. Griz quarterback Brian Ah Yat set single-game playoff records for pass completions (36) and total plays (67). Senior wide re ceiver Joe Douglass set a single-game playoff mark with 13 re ceptions. Douglass also established single-season school records that are still in existence: 82 catches for 1,469 yards, and 18 touch downs.

• 1995 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! The Grizzlies won their first national championship in 1995 with a last-second, 22-20 come-from-behind victory over host Marshall and freshman quarterback Chad Pennington in front of

Z006 Y o o t b a ll

a l-AA pi ay off-record crowd of 32,106 in Huntington, West Vir ginia. Dickenson, who learned after the game that he was voted the recipient of the Walter Payton Award, passed for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns in Montana’s first three playoff games, which the Grizzlies won by an unfathomable 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 Lar son with 39 seconds remaining. The key play in the winning drive, known in Griz circles as “The Throw, The Catch, and The Kick,” came on a fourth-andthree from the 50-yard line. On that game-deciding play, Dicken son completed a short slant pass to senior wide receiver Mike Erhardt for a 20-yard gain and a crucial first down, keeping UM’s final drive going. Senior receiver Matt Wells scored both of Montana’s touch downs on a pair of Dickenson completions, the first a 24-yarder and next a one-yard reception. In his illustrious career Dickenson passed for a school-record 11,080 yards and 96 touchdowns. Wells remains the all-time school leader with 2,733 receiving yards. Montana established team playoff records for first downs (125), pass completions (137), pass attempts (197) and passing yards (1,703).

• 1994 AND 1993: GAINING MOMENTUM... The Griz squeaked by visiting Northern Iowa 23-20 in 1994 in a first-round playoff contest and then edged visiting McNeese State 30-28 in a the quarterfinals on a snowy day in Missoula, thanks to a game-ending field goal by Larson. Unfortunately, Dickenson was re-injured early in the McNeese State win, and he was unable to play in the semifinal, a 28-9 loss to coach Tressell and his host Youngstown State team. Dickenson, who had injured his leg in a regular-season loss at Boise State three weeks earlier, had missed UM’s last three contests before returning to action in the first-round contest. Montana rolled to a 10-1 regular-season record season in 1993, with the only bemish a 35-30 loss at Oregon. After that loss to the Ducks in Eugene, the Griz reeled off nine straight wins and had a perfect 7-0 Big Sky slate, clinching their first league title in 11 seasons with 54-34 victory at Idaho. Montana’s banner season ended abruptly, however, as it dropped a 49-48 first-round contest to visiting Delaware on a frozen, yet speedy Washington-Grizzly Stadium grass playing surface.

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

• 1989: GRIZ HOST FIRST PLAYOFF GAME(S) Montana hosted a playoff game and won one for the first time in school history, defeating Jackson State 48-7, advancing past the first round for the first time ever. Next UM hosted Eastern Il linois 25-19 in the quarterfinals, winning 25-19.

Celebration of the 2001 national championship

The Griz were out-manned in the semis, though, suffering a 45-15 setback to eventual national champion Georgia Southern in Statesboro.

• FIRST TWO PLAYOFF BERTHS Montana’s initial trip to the playoffs was in 1982, five years after the playoff system began. The Griz earned the Big Sky’s automatic playoff berth and lost 21-7 at Idaho. Six years later (1988) the Griz received their first at-large bid into the playoffs, losing 38-19 at Idaho.

• DIVISION l-AA PLAYOFF FORMAT CHANGES The current l-AA playoff format now includes 16 teams. In the inaugural l-AA season in 1978, four teams competed in the play offs. The field expanded to eight teams in 1981, and six years later (1986) it expanded to the 16-team format.

• 1969 AND 1970: MONTANA PLAYS FOR TWO COLLEGE DIVISION TITLES Montana played for the College Division national champion ship in both 1969 and 1970. In 1969, the Griz went a perfect 10-0 in the regular-season and won their first-ever Big Sky championship. That unblemished re cord earned them a trip to Sacramento, Calif., and the Camellia Bowl. Montana was matched up against North Dakota State and lost 30-3. That Jack Swarthout-coached 1969 team featured the likes of quarterback Ray Brum, halfbacks Steve Caputo, Les Kent, and Jeff Hoffman, safety Karl Stein, cornerback Roy Robinson, and linemen Larry Miller and Tuufuli Uperesa, and kicker Dan Wor rell. Unfortunately, due to NCAA rules regarding junior college transfer, the second-rankled Grizzlies had to play in the Camel lia Bowl in 1969 without the services of Kent, Blanca, Stein, Tom McMahon, and three other JC transfers. The Grizzlies had their ups-and-downs in 1970, but once again went unscathed during the regular season with a 10-0 record. This time around quarterback Gary Berding, future NFL stand out Steve Okoniewski, two other JC transfers, and three fresh men were declared ineligible for the Camellia Bowl, and North Dakota State beat Montana 31-16 en route to a second straight NCAA College Division crown.

It is the fifth longest home winning streak in l-AA history. The Griz were 10-0 at home in 2004. • S ta d iu m T im e lin e /N a m e s a k e Plans for UM’s on-campus football facil ity came to fruition in August of 1985, as Missoula businessman Dennis R. Wash ington and the employees of Washington Corporations provided a gift of $1 million, hence the name of Washington-Grizzly Stadium. There are 49 private boxes located on the east and west sides of the stadium. They are individually decorated and fur nished.

• T h e H o m e of th e G rizzlie s This will be the 21st season that Mon tana has called Washington-Grizzly Sta dium/John Hoyt field home. Since that time the Griz have played 143 games and have an overall record of 125-18 record (.874). Montana led the nation in attendance for the first time in history in 2005 among Divi sion l-AA schools, averaging 22,537 fans in seven home games. Of Montana’s seven home contests last season, sixth of them rank in the top 20 for all-time attendance highs in WashingtonGrizzly Stadium. The 23,867 fans at the 2004 Griz-Cat game set an all-time stadium attendance record. In 2003 Montana set Big Sky Confer ence records with 163,532 fans in seven home games for an average attendance of 23,362. The first game played in the stadium was on October 18, 1986, a 38-31 comefrom-behind win over Idaho State. • U n d e fe a te d a t H o m e Montana went undefeated at home in 1994, 1995, and 1996, and reeled off 30 straight victories.

• S ta d iu m Exp an sio n s Washington-Grizzly Stadium underwent a second expansion in the spring and summer of 2003, as approximately 4,000 seats were added to the north end zone section The final expansion in 2003 increased the stadium 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. Prior to the 1995 expansion there were 12,500 perma nent seats, with grass end zone seating making the capacity around 15,000. GrizVision was added for the 2002 sea son, featuring a state-of-the-art message center which features game statistics, player profiles, digital replays, and shots of the crowd. The GrizVision 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.

M i^ o A

Birthplace and hometown of author Norman Maclean, who wrote A River Runs Through It, Missoula is nestled in the heart of the Northern Rockies in western Montana and is 3,210 feet above sea level. A com munity of approximately 66,000 residents, Missoula is located where five valleys converge. It is 140 m iles from G lacier National Park and 270 miles from Y ellow stone N ational Park. In 2004 M issoula was selected as the No. 1 small town in the nation by Men s Journal magazine. The Lewis and C lark Ex pedition, the Corps o f D is covery, passed through the Missoula area 200 years ago. There are many interpretive sites in the area, and bicentennial celebrations continue through out the area. The search for gold in the West and the completion of the Mullan Road, which opened up travel from the Missouri River to the state of Washington, brought people to the valley in 1860. Missoula began as a settlement called Hell Gate when C.P. Higgins and Francis Worden began a trading post to accommodate the travelers. The settlement was later renamed Missoula, taken from a Salish Flathead Indian word, lmisuletiku, “At the stream or water of surprise.” {Missoula, the Way It Was, Lenora Koelbe, 1972). Early settlers constructed Fort Missoula in 1877. Today the Fort Missoula Museum remains a testament to the West. Because of its location on the Mullan Road, Missoula became a trading and commercial center, which it remains to this day. For many years Missoula’s main industry was logging, sawmills and related activities. The Aerial Fire Depot Smokejumper Center is strategially located as the nation’s largest training base for smokejumpers. Missoula also serves as a center for education, health care, retail and the arts. The University of Montana provides educational opportunities for more than 13,000 college students. Two major hospitals, along with many clinics, make Missoula one of the state’s premier health care communities. The Missoula community supports the arts in all its forms: theater productions, dance, art and music. The Missoula Children’s Theater, founded in 1970, is located close to campus and produces plays and m usicals by national and local “Out to Lunch" in Caras Park downtown attracts playwrights for both adults and children. The thousands o f visitors on Wednesdays in the summer theater also takes theatrical productions to fo r food, entertainment and fun. ' audiences outside the Missoula area. The Garden City Ballet and Missoula Symphony, which is in its 53rd season, bring performances and concerts to the community year round. The Art Museum of Missoula, located in downtown Missoula, sponsors changing exhibits and also has a permanent collection that focuses on Western contemporary art and has been recently renovated. One of the most desirable places to live in the United States, western Montana has become an attractive residence for those looking for pristine beauty and serenity. Some of America’s famous people, such as Liz Claiborne, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Phil Jackson, Huey Lewis, and Charlie Sheen, have made western Montana their home.

RlissoudaAttractions andActivities.,, • Favorite activities in w estern M ontana include fly fishing, rafting, kayaking and canoeing. Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake in the western United States, is close by. • Hiking, biking, camping, rock climbing and hang gliding are a few activities enjoyed in and close to Missoula. Many trails are within minutes of Missoula. • “A C arousel for M isso u la,” located downtown, is one of the first fully handcarved carousels to be built in America since the 1930s. Other area attractions include Garnet Ghost Town, the National Bison Range and the Smokejumper Visitor Center. • M issoula Parks and Recreation and the YM CA provide a variety of recreational opportunities in basketball, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball. The Missoula Osprey professional baseball team is an affiliation of the Arizona Diamondbacks and play their home games in a new downtown stadium easily accessible to UM.

From a real bear in the 1940s to national mascot of the year in 2002 and 2004, the Montana Grizzlies have had this namesake since 1912 when a Salt Lake City sportswriter called the M ontana football team the “G rizzlies” when they played a Utah team. UM team s were called “Grizzlies,” “Bru ins” or “Bears” until the 1920s when the name “Grizzly” stuck. They were sometimes referred to as the “Silvertips” all the way through the 1970s.

Although the Griz zly m ascot’s features m ight have changed over the years, the Griz zlies still rem ain a sporting pow erhouse throughout the state.

The UM fight song “Up with Montana ” was w ritten by R ichard Howell of the UM law school in 1914. In 2002 the New York Times singled out UM’s fight song in an article about humorous college fight songs, saying, “At (UM), fans expect their team to devour its en emies while still alive.” Up With Montana...

“Up with Montana, boys, down with the foe, Old M ontana’s up fo r a victory; She’ll shoot her backs around the fo e m en ’s line; A hot time is ■coming now, oh, brother mine.
