The Home of the Grizzlies The 2008 season will be the 22nd year that the University of Montana Grizzly football team will call Washington-Grizzly Stadium at John Hoyt Field its home. Since playing their first game in the stadium in October of 1986, the Griz have compiled an overall record of 140-20 for a winning percentage of 87.5%. The first game, played on October 18, 1986, was a 38-31 come-from-behind win over Idaho State.

- Gr i z z l y S t a d i u m

In the 2005 and 2006 seasons Montana had the highest average attendance of any NCAA Football Championship Subdivi sion team, averaging almost 23,000 fans a game. Last season UM was second in the FCS in attendance, averaging 22,800 in eight home games, while national cham pion Appalachian State was the national leader (24,219 average in nine games). The Griz had 140,989 fans attend its six regular-season games in 2006 for an average of 23,498 per contest, and three of those games ranked in the top seven for all-time attendance. The 24,018 fans at the 106th annual Griz-Cat game in Mis soula that season is a stadium record. In 2003 Montana set Big Sky Confer ence records with a total of 163,532 total fans in seven home games and an aver age attendance of 23,362.

No Place Like Home Not only has Montana won 140 games in its 22 seasons in Washington-Grizzly Stadium, but beginning in 1994 the Griz reeled off 30 straight home victories. The win streak began with a 41-7 win over So noma State on Sept. 3 and ended with a 40-35 loss against Eastern Washington on Oct. 18 of 1997. UM’s 30 consecutive home wins are the fifth longest victory streak in FCS history. (The record of 39 home wins in a row was set by Georgia Southern from 1997-2001.)

Stadium History and Namesake The plans for an on-campus football facility at UM came to fruition in August of 1985 when Missoula businessman Den nis R. Washington and the employees of Washington Corporations provided a gift of $1 million, hence the name of Washington-Grizzlv Stadium.

There are 47 private boxes located on the east and west sides of the stadium. They are individually decorated and fur nished.

Stadium Expansions Washington-Grizzly Stadium under went its third expansion at the conclusion of the 2007 football season. The eastside expansion now houses a 500-seat “Sta dium Club” with two membership levels, the “Canyon Room” with 125 seats inside and 125 seats outside, and the “Hellgate Terrace” with 250 seats. In the recent expansion there are 700 Grizzly Scholarship Association prior ity seats, located between the 25-and-40yard lines on both sides of the 50, as well as 800 non-priority seats located on the 10-to-25-yard lines. This third expansion increases the current seating capacity of Washington-Grizzly Stadium to approxi mately 25,203. The second expansion occurred in the spring and summer of 2003, when about 4,000 seats were added to the north end zone section, increasing the stadium ca pacity to 23,183. In the spring of 1995 the stadium un derwent its first expansion in the north and south end zones. At that time there were 12,500 permanent seats, and seat ing was available, weather permitting, in the grass end zones, which made the ca pacity around 15,000. GrizVision, a state-of-the-art video and message center, was added in 2002 and features game statistics, player profiles, digital replays, and shots of the crowd. The GrizVision screen is one of the larg est in the FCS, measuring 26 feet by 36 feet, and it used to be housed in New York City’s Times Square. A natural-grass stadium gave way to SprinTurf prior to the 2001 season at a cost of one million dollars, and was paid for by an anonymous donor. The field was also named ‘John Hoyt Field” in 2001 at the request of the anonymous donor, in honor of Hoyt, a long-time Grizzly booster who passed away in March of that year. The Griz locker rooms measure more than 4,000 square feet. The Adams Center also features a 7,000-square foot weight room, a 4,500-square foot athletic treat ment center, the Jacobson Academic Cen ter, and a meeting room with big screen videos. The women’s locker room cov ers 4,000 square feet. There are also three additional meeting rooms totaling 2,000 square feet.

Montana needs to re place 14 starters and several record-set ting players who graduated. The Griz, who have now won 10 Big Sky Conference championships in a row and 13 titles over the past 15 seasons, return just 10 starters: seven on offense and just three on defense, and their All-American punter and kicker have graduated as well. Montana added to its ongoing record with a 15th NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoff appearance in a row in 2007. The Grizzlies have now registered 22 straight winning seasons. “As a football team we made a lot of progress during spring ball, which was

ing starters on the offensive line, and hope fully with those key components back, we can have another good year offensively. “The defense has to be completely re tooled,” Hauck continued. “We can start with (strong safety) Colt Anderson, who has been an all-conference performer for us the past two years, and build from there. We have guys who have played at defensive tackle in Jesse Carlson and Craig Mettler, and they’re going to have to be leaders for us on the D-line. “At defensive end Mike Stadnyk is a guy who is now a fifth-year senior and has made a lot of good plays in his career, but he has had some injury problems, and it is impera tive for us to have success on defense for Mike to have a big year,” Hauck said. “When you look at our secondary and at linebacker, there are not a lot of recogniz able names there,” Hauck continued. “In Senior quarterback Cole Bergquist (Mike Bashor photo)

much-needed,” said sixth-year UM head coach Bobby Hauck, who sports a 52-14 overall mark and a Big Sky record of 325. “We’re not where we’ve been the last couple of years at this point in time; it’s re ally going to be a race against the clock for us to try to get ready for Sept. 6th and Cal Poly.” UM returns 46 lettermen from an 11-1 team of 2007 that went undefeated (8-0) in Big Sky games for the second season in a row. Montana ended up 10th in the final Sports Network poll and has been in TSN’s top 25 for 133 straight weeks. “The position on our team that has a lot of experience back is the offensive line,” Hauck said. “That is really the only spot that we have a good nucleus of veteran players coming back. That’s a good place to start. We do have a returning starter at quarterback (Cole Bergquist) and return-

eight of our 11 positions on defense not too many of the names on our depth chart are going to look familiar. That is a real concern for me and for our staff. “Special teams are a key component on any football team and have been a real strength for us,” Hauck said. “Frankly, we’re back to where we were when (kicker) Dan Carpenter and (punter) Tyson Johnson were coming in the door, and we had a lot of un knowns at those two positions. “When (former Griz kicker) Chris Sny der left Montana, he was the career points leader in the FCS for kickers, and then we replaced him with a guy (Carpenter) who went by him and became the career leader in that category,” Hauck said. “I don’t know if that will happen this time, but we do have a lot of work to do in the specialists area at the punter and kicker spots. That is a great unknown for us, and hopefully we will have an answer soon. Certainly, we need to have something we are comfortable with before our first game.”

O f f e n s iv e Ov e r v ie w In 2007 Montana was ranked 23rd in total offense at 415.3 yards a game and was 24th in scoring offense at 31.4 points per contest. The Griz had a balanced attack and were ranked 30th in passing (235.8 ypg) and 38th in rushing (179.5 ypg). The Grizzlies lost halfback Lex Hilliard and two of the top wide receivers in school his tory to graduation. Hilliard ended his career as the school record-holder with 50 rushing touchdowns, and his 4,018 rush yards are the second most ever at UM. Ryan Bagley and Eric Allen ended their careers ranked 13th and 21st all-time in receiving yards with 1,940 and 1,397, respectively. Also lost to graduation was tackle Cody Balogh, who started 41 games in a row. The offensive line returns several veteran starters in senior tackle Brent Russum and senior center J.D. Quinn, who were both first team All-Big Sky selections last year, while senior guard Colin Dow was a second team pick, and senior guard Dan Carter was honorable mention. Also back is senior quarterback Cole Bergquist, who started all 12 games last season, was also the team’s second-lead ing rusher, and who was a second team all league pick. Senior wide receiver Mike Ferriter, who was UM’s most consistent receiver a year ago, is back, as are a handful of upperclass men with some valuable game experience, but most have more potential than actual playing time. The tandem at tight end are juniors Dan Beaudin and Steve Pfahler, who have shared the starting job over the past two seasons. Both were honorable mention all-league picks last year. QUARTERBACK: Bergquist is now 17-4 as a starter over the past two-plus seasons.

Sophomore Tony Kazmierczak should also contribute. A couple of promising freshmen may get a chance to play as well. TIGHT END: Beaudin and Pfahler make this a strong position, and sophomore Rob ert Overton will also contribute. FULLBACK: Junior Kevin Klaboe was an all-league pick at fullback the past two seasons. Redshirt freshman Noah McWil liams and sophomore Nick Lebsock could also see action. Prior to the start of fall camp McWilliams was moved from linebacker to fullback, while Lebsock was moved from center.

Senior wide receiver Mike Ferriter

The All-Big Sky pick a season ago is expect ed to be pushed for playing time by promis ing sophomore Andrew Selle, who had an outstanding spring. Bergquist passed for 2,623 yards and 20 touchdowns and completed 60.9% of his throws last season. Selle played in six games and threw for 175 yards and a touch down. Sophomore Jeff Larson also had a solid spring. RUNNING BACK: Hilliard rushed for 1,132 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2007, while Bergquist gained 383 yards. However, a big plus from spring ball was the emer gence of sophomore Chase Reynolds, who was moved from wide receiver back to his original position of running back this past spring. He will battle junior Thomas BrooksFletcher for a starting role. Senior Andrew Schmidt is a hard-charger and special teams standout, while junior Brandon Utterback is vying for playing time, and a young newcomer or two could see time as well. OFFENSIVE LINE: The O-line should once again be a strength for the Griz. Russum started all 12 games at right tackle a year ago, while seniors Colin Dow, J.D. Quinn, and Dan Carter and junior Terran Hillesland had all of the starts at both guard spots and center and are also back. Juniors Chris Dyk and Levi Horn were battling for the starting job at left tackle, va cated by the durable Balogh. Sophomore Alex Verlanic was moved from defense to center and could help out as well. All five prep signees come into fall camp with good size. WIDE RECEIVER: Allen and Bagley ac counted for 78 catches and 13 touchdowns last season, but Ferriter hauled in a teamhigh 49 passes a year ago. Junior Marc Mariani is the fastest player on the team and has tremendous potential,

Montana has had one of the nation’s best defenses the past two seasons and was ranked second nationally in scoring defense in 2007, allowing 14.8 points a game. Over the past two seasons, the Grizzly defense led the Big Sky in nearly every de fensive category. Last year UM was ranked among the national leaders in several cat egories: rushing defense (21st, giving up 125.4 yards a game), 32nd in total defense (338.8 ypg), and 23rd in turnover margin (+.83 a game). In 2006 the Griz were ranked ninth in the country in total defense (266.4 yards a game). However, the “D” lost eight starters, and all eight of those players received all-league recognition in 2007. Lost to graduation are first-team all-con ference players Kroy Biermann and line backer Loren Utterback, as well as lineback er Tyler Joyce, cornerback Chris Clark, and free safety Torrey Thomas, who were sec ond team picks. Biermann was the Big Sky’s defensive MVP and UM’s first-ever winner of the Buck Buchanan Award.

All three starting linebackers - Joyce, Kyle Ryan, and Utterback - are gone as well as quality back-ups Muckie Foreman and Alex Hawthorne. Two-time first-team all-conference pick Colt Anderson is back at strong safety and is a 2008 Buck Buchanan Award candi date. The other two starters back are se nior tackle Craig Mettler, a second-team All-Big Sky pick, and senior end Mike Stadnyk, an honorable mention selection. DEFENSIVE END: Biermann, who had the second most sacks (32) in school his tory and was ranked second in the nation in that category last season with 1.25 a game, will be impossible to replace. But Stadnyk, a second round draft pick of the Canadian Football League, is braced to have a banner senior season. Junior Jace Palmer had quite a few reps last season as well. Depth will be provided by junior George Mercer. Sophomore Severin Campbell was moved from linebacker and has outstand ing speed, while redshirt freshman Ryan Featherston has shown a lot of promise.

Senior defensive tackle Jesse Carlson

DEFENSIVE TACKLE: Mettler has started the last 23 games over the past three seasons and was the ninth leading tackier with 46 stops last season. Senior Jesse Carlson played in 11 games a year ago and had 25 tackles. Senior Paul LaMantia has seen a lot of action the past two seasons, and upand-coming sophomore Carson Bender will help. Sophomore Austin Mullins was moved from end to tackle and could also be in the mix, along with redshirt freshman Braydon Schilling. LINEBACKER: Joyce, Ryan, and Utter back were all three-year starters, and they ended their careers ranked among the top

2 0 0 8 S easo n Outlo o k tacklers in school history and had all 36 starts at linebacker last season. Senior Tyler Corwin has been waiting in the wings for a starting berth and is a talent, as is newcomer Thomas Bauer, a junior. Junior Shawn Lebsock redshirted last season due to injury and will start at middle linebacker. Junior Brandon Fisher is vying for one of the starting jobs. Senior Tom Martin had an outstanding spring. Depth will be provided by junior Tyler Pelluer and sophomore Andy Gon zales. There are some talented incoming freshmen who could make an impact. CORNERBACK: Starters Clark and Quinton Jackson have graduated, and a couple of promising younger players left the program. Senior Ciarre Campbell had a good spring, while junior Joe Smith and redshirt freshman Nick Haynes are also in the mix. A couple of talented incoming freshmen may be pressed into duty. This will be an area coach Hauck will look to add to prior to fall drills. SAFETY: Colt Anderson’s return is ob viously a big boost here, but the Grizzlies should not miss a beat with junior Shann Schillinger starting at free safety in place of graduated three-year starter Thomas, along with talented sophomore Erik Stoll. Junior Tim Anderson and sophomore Ryan Nelson could also contribute. A couple of incoming freshmen may also see action.

THE BIG SKY CONFERENCE: The conference slate is another good news, bad news scenario for the Grizzlies. The bad news is that for the first time since 1989 Montana plays its first two Big Sky games on the road, at Weber State and then at the probable pre-season league fa vorite Eastern Washington Eagles in the first part of October. “To start the Big Sky season we have back-to-back road games against two very

Freshman walk-on Ken Wood showed promise this past spring, and freshman Kyle Finneman had an outstanding prep career. RETURNS: Mariani, an honorable men tion all-league pick a year ago, is the Big Sky’s top returning player in both punt and kickoff returns, averaging 13.3 on punt re turns and 32.2 per kickoff return. Schulte has been among the conference leaders in kickoff returns the past couple of years and averaged 25.4 yards per attempt last season. There will be several other players given an opportunity to earn the job as re turners.

NON-LEAGUE SLATE: The bad news is that the Grizzlies open their 12-game schedule at Cal Poly on Sept. 6, and the Mustangs, who have won 25 of their last 29 home games, return 20 starters from a 7-4 team. For the first time since the 2001 season Montana does not have an open weekend. “It will be a very tough schedule, especial ly for a young football team,” Hauck said. “It will be interesting to see how our team responds. Most of the players on our foot ball team, at least a good number of them, have never lost a Big Sky Conference game in their careers. “Going down to play Cal Poly to open with, I’d rather play Notre Dame or fill in the blank there,” Hauck said. “They are a good team. I’ve watched a lot of them on tape, and they’d certainly get my vote as a top two or three team going into the 2008 season. Right out of the gate we are going to be up against it. Cal Poly led the nation in total of

quality football teams, both of which I think will be picked to finish high in the league race,” Hauck said. “You know it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. We need to stay the course, keep working, and we’ll see how things go.” Other conference road games are at Northern Colorado (Oct. 25) and Portland State (Nov. 8). The good news is that the Grizzlies have three of their last four Big Sky games in the friendly confines of Washington-Grizzly Sta dium where they have compiled a record of 140-20 since playing there in 1986. UM’s first league home game is against Sacramento State on Oct. 18, and they then play three November contests in Missoula, hosting Northern Arizona (Nov. 1), Idaho State (Nov. 15), and end the regular-season against intra-state rival Montana State in the 108th Griz-Cat clash on Nov. 22.

“I think Dan is the first three-sport letterman here since Scott Zanon in the late 80’s. In the modern era they are few and far between.

2008 Griz Football

at M ontana 37, Southern Utah 17 Sept. 1 • Missoula, Mont. • Attendance: 23,599 m MISSOULA, MT - Junior quarterback Cole Bergquist

threw two touchdown passes to senior wide receiver Eric Allen; senior halfback Lex Hilliard rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown; and senior kicker Dan Car penter made three-of-three field goal attempts as the second-ranked University of Montana Grizzlies (1-0) defeated the visiting Southern Utah Thunderbirds in the 2007 season opener for both teams. There were 23,599 fans in UM’s Washington-Griz zly Stadium, which is the 10th largest attendance in 153 games. It was also an all-time attendance high for a home opener, surpassing the crowd of 23,454 at the home opener against South Dakota State in 2006. The final score was not indicative of the game. The pesky Thunderbirds (0-1) of the Great West Conference cut the Grizzly lead to 14-9 with 7:30 to go in the third quarter, when senior halfback Johnny Sanchez scored on a 1-yard run. Montana, of the Big Sky Conference, answered the Sanchez score with a 42-yard field goal by Car penter to take a 17-9 advantage with 2:19 left in the third stanza. Carpenter tacked on another field goal early in the fourth quarter, this one a 41-yarder, and Bergquist gave the Grizzlies some breathing room when he scampered up the middle for a 14-yard touchdown run - the first scoring run of his career. Bergquist’s touchdown made it 27-9 Montana with 9:21 to go. Southern Utah battled back, though, with San chez plowing over for another 1-yard touchdown, and then talented Thunderbird senior quarterback Wes Marshall hit senior wide receiver Jeremy Ed wards for a two-point conversion, which cut the Griz lead to 27-17 with 5:14 remaining. Montana put the game out of reach with 3:16 left when Bergquist hit Allen on a 29-yard scoring pass. Carpenter added three more points on a 41-yard field goal with 1:49 to go for the final points of the game. Bergquist, who improved to 7-3 as a starter, completed 15-of-22 passes for 150 yards and a pair of touchdowns without an interception and gained 26 yards rushing on five carries. Hilliard, who missed last season with an injury, broke the century mark for the 12th time in his career and gained 108 yards on 22 carries. Both of Allen’s catches went for touchdowns. UM senior Ryan Bagley added 3 catches for 25 yards, while senior halfback Reggie Bradshaw also had 3 receptions. Carpenter, who led the FCS in field goals last sea son with 1.71 a game, was perfect on all three at tempts, one from 42 yards out and two 41-yarders. UM senior punter Tyson Johnson, who also missed last season with an injury, had three punts for a 46.0-yard average, including a 56-yarder. The Griz defense was led by senior end Kroy Biermann and senior linebacker Tyler Joyce, each with six tackles, while junior safety Colt Anderson had four tackles, a stop for a loss, and a key interception in the Montana end zone. Senior linebacker Loren Utterback and sophomore safety Shann Schillinger also had picks forUM.

The Griz, who played 73 players in the game, wast ed no time, as Hilliard took just 11 seconds to score when he broke up the middle for a 54-yard TD jaunt on Montana’s opening drive. Fort Lewis (0-1), playing its season opener, went three-and-out on its first series, and the Griz culminated a five-play, 40-yard scoring drive, on a 5-yard TD by Hilliard. The Skyhawks managed a first down on their sec ond series but were thwarted on a 4th-and-one from

2 0 0 7 Y e a r in R e v ie w : Game R ecaps at Montana 35, UAIbany 14 Sept. 22 • Missoula, Mont. • Attendance: 23,097 MISSOULA, MT- Junior quarterback Cole Bergquist passed for two scores and ran for another, and senior halfback Lex Hilliard rushed for two touch downs as the host and second-ranked University of Montana Grizzlies defeated the University at Albany Great Danes. A crowd of 23,097, the 24th largest in 155 games played at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, saw Bergquist shatter his previous high in rushing yards with 89 on just nine carries. His previous high was 25 yards against McNeese State in a first-round Football Championship Subdivision (l-AA) playoff game in Missoula in 2006. Bergquist was 21 -of-32-1 for a career-high 282 yards and two touchdowns. His previous high in passing yards was 257 against South Dakota State in his only start of 2006. Hilliard rushed 21 times for 136 yards, hitting the century mark for the 13th time in his career and the second time this season. The Grizzlies (3-0) took a 7-0 lead on their third possession of the game at the 4:45 mark of the first quarter when Bergquist connected with senior receiver Ryan Bagley on a 12-yard scoring pass. UAIbany tied the contest at 7-all with 8:14 to go in the opening half when senior tailback Omar Johnson scored on a 1-yard run on a fourth-andgoal situation. Montana regained the lead (14-7) for good with 1:49 left until intermission on a 1-yard run by Hill iard. The Griz got excellent field position to start that drive thanks to a 17-yard punt return by sophomore Marc Mariani, who advanced the ball to the UAI bany 37-yard line. Bergquist’s career-long 55-yard touchdown run with 10:03 left in the third stanza gave UM a 21-7 advantage. Montana took a three-touchdown lead at 28-7 with 9:56 to go in the contest, as Hilliard had his sixth rushing touchdown of the season. The Great Danes battled back, though, as soph omore quarterback Vinny Esposito hit sophomore split end Jason Smith for a 23-yard touchdown pass with 6:43 remaining, making it 28-14 UM. UAIbany then recovered the ensuing on-side kick and advanced the ball to Montana’s 24-yard line, but an Esposito pass was picked off to thwart the Great Danes’ comeback bid. UM put the game on ice on their last posses sion, as Bergquist hit senior wide receiver Eric Allen for a 30-yard TD pass, making it 35-14. UM’s leading rushers were Hilliard’s 136 yards, while Bergquist racked up 89 yards, and freshman quarterback Jeff Larson had seven totes for 34 yards.

MISSOULA, M T-The No.1-ranked Montana’s defense shut out visiting Weber State Wildcats in the second half and rebounded for the Big Sky Conference victory in their annual Homecoming game in UM’s Washing ton-Grizzly Stadium/John Hoyt Field. It was the Grizzlies 15th straight Homecoming win. On its second possession, WSU (0-4, 0-2 Big Sky) marched 94 yards on a 14-play drive to take a 7-0 lead, as senior halfback Adrian Conway hit tight end B.A. Har rell for a 10-yard TD pass. It was Harrell’s first catch of the season and Conway’s first career touchdown pass. It was also the first time that Montana trailed in a game this season. The Wildcats took a 10-0 lead when junior kicker Conor Foley connected on a 30-yard field goal at the

at Montana 18, W eber State 10 Sept. 29 • Missoula, Mont. • Attendance: 23,267 14:54 mark in the third period. The field goal was set up when Griz quarterback Cole Bergquist fumbled the ball when he was sacked and linebacker J.D. Folsom recovered the fumble on the UM 24-yard line. In its first series after the WSU field goal, UM finally got on the scoreboard, as senior kicker Dan Carpenter connected on the first of four field goal attempts, this one from 47 yards out, making it 10-3 WSU at intermis sion. The Grizzlies (4-0,1-0) cut the Wildcat lead to 10-6 with 13:35 to go in the third stanza, with Carpenter boot ing a 40-yard field goal. UM had the ball on the Weber State 25-yard line after a 62-yard kickoff return by soph omore Marc Mariani on the opening play of the second half but had to settle for Carpenter’s three-pointer. Montana once again mounted a solid drive on its next series, moving the ball to the Wildcat 14-yard line, but came away with three points on a Carpenter field goal, this one a 29-yarder, making it 10-9 WSU with 5:25 remaining in the third quarter. The Griz got excellent field position again on their next possession, thanks to an interception by UM senior linebacker Kyle Ryan. Starting from the WSU 25-yard line this time, Montana scored its only touchdown of the game on a 1-yard run by junior halfback Greg Coleman. UM employed five straight rushing plays by four differ ent players in the drive leading to the Coleman TD.

Carpenter, who had made 21 consecutive PATs going back to the Northern Colorado game last sea son, missed the PAT attempt after Coleman’s score, and that miss would help to keep the Wildcats within striking distance. Carpenter’s fourth field goal came with 6:35 to go in the game on a 17-play, 73-yard drive that took almost six minutes. This time he kicked one from 24 yards out, giving the Griz an 18-10 lead. WSU, down only a TD and a two-point conver sion, had a first-and-10 from the Griz 22-yard line, but three penalties, three incompletions by redshirt freshman quarterback Cameron Higgins, and a sack by UM’s Kroy Biermann pushed the ball all the way back to the Wildcats’ 37-yard line, which placed them in afourth-and-51 situation. Bergquist was 17-of-30-1 for 186 yards and rushed 10 times for 39 yards. Coleman had 16 totes for 39 yards and a TD. UM senior halfback Lex Hill iard had 11 carries for 27 yards and left the game with an injury mid-way through the third quarter. Junior re ceiver Mike Ferriter led the Griz with five catches for 43 yards, while senior Ryan Bagley added three for 33. UM’s defense was led by junior safety Colt Ander son’s game-high 10 tackles, while Biermann had eight stops and two sacks, and senior linebacker Loren Utterback had 10 tackles and two stops for losses.

Washington 23 Oct. 6 • Missoula, Mont. • Attendance: 23,226 MISSOULA, MT - Senior kicker Dan Carpenter connected on a 34-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining, as the top-ranked Griz edged the visit ing EWU Eagles in a key Big Sky Conference game in front of 23,226 fans at UM’s Washington-Grizzly Stadium/John Hoyt Field. The hard-fought victory kept the Grizzlies unde feated at 5-0 overall and 2-0 in conference, while the Eagles fell to 3-2 and 1-2. Montana jumped to a 14-0 lead in the opening half on two scoring passes by junior quarterback Cole Bergquist, the first a 26-yarder to senior Ryan Bagley and the second was a 20-yarder to junior Mike Ferriter. The Eagles came right back, scoring twice be fore intermission. The first EWU score came when sophomore quarterback Matt Nichols hit sopho more Brynsen Brown for a 21-yard touchdown pass, and then Macias added a 32-yard field goal, making it 14-10, UM, at the half. EWU took its first lead (17-14) of the game in the third quarter, as Nichols threw a 37-yard touch down pass to Aaron Boyce. They scored again on their next possession, Macias kicking a 42-yard field goal to put his team ahead 20-14. Montana came right back though, as senior halfback Lex Hilliard powered his way in on a 1yard touchdown run. Carpenter’s PAT made it 2120 Grizzlies with 6:17 remaining in the third quar ter.

In EWU’s third series in the last quarter, the Ea gles took a 23-21 lead with 2:20 left in the game on a 39-yard field goal by junior kicker Felipe Macias, and that looked like it might be the game-winner. The go-ahead three-pointer by Macias was made pos sible when Montana was called for a “ roughing the snapper” penalty. It appeared as though UM would get the ball back after holding EWU, but the 15-yard penalty gave EWU new life with a first down on the UM 43-yard line. EWU then advanced the ball to the Griz 23-yard line to set up the go-ahead field goal. Facing a 4th-and-10 from their own 38, Bergquist lofted a pass to Bagley who made a diving catch in front of the EWU bench, and Montana had a first down at the Eagles’ 35-yard line. A couple of Bergquist passes to junior receiver Mike Ferriter cov ering 18 yards moved the ball to the EWU 17-yard line to set up Carpenter’s game-winner. Bergquist was 16-of-32-0 for 181 yards and two TDs, and rushed 10 times for 38 yards. Ferriter had a team-high of six catches for 65 yards and scored his first touchdown of the season. Bagley had two grabs for 53 yards and a score. S co re b y Q u a rt

SACRAMENTO, CA - The Griz defense held Sac State to three points and improved to 14-0 versus the Hornets in a hard-fought game. The Griz took a 7-0 first-half lead on a one-yard run by senior half back Lex Hilliard, his eighth rushing touchdown of the season. Sac State’s (1-5/1-3) scoring came on a 28-yard field goal by Juan Gamboa with 10:56 left in the the second quarter, cutting the Griz lead to 7-3. Gamboa missed his next two attempts, though, from 41 and 20 yards out.

That score was followed by two field goals by NAU junior kicker Robbie Dehaze from 42 and 24 yards out, and Montana took a slim 7-6 lead at halftime. Montana scored on its first two possessions of the second half. The Griz started the third quarter with a methodi cal, 12-play, 80-yard drive, as Bergquist hit senior Eric Allen on a 7-yard touchdown pass. It was Bergquist’s 13th touchdown throw of the season. It was Allen’s only catch of the game, and so far this season he has 16 catches, four for scores. Dehaze added another field goal, to make it 14-9, UM, at the 9:53 mark of the third quarter. Hilliard then scored on a 5-yard run with 5:53 left in the third stanza, giving the Griz a 21-9 advan tage. One of the key plays in the drive was a 38-yard completion from Bergquist to Bagley, while Hilliard accounted for six carries for 32 yards. NAU cut the UM lead to 21-16 on an 8-yard run by sophomore Alex Henderson with 4:42 to go. However, the Griz kept the ball the rest of the way, thanks to Hilliard’s six rushes for 48 yards in the final 4:42. Hilliard had 47 total TDs in his career (45 rushing and two receiving). He needs just two more scores to pass all-time leader Yohance Humphery, who scored 48 TDs from 1998-2001. Hilliard had his fourth 100-yard rushing game in 2007 (and his second in a row, as he had 112 the pre vious week against Northern Colorado) and the 15th of his career. Griz senior linebacker Tyler Joyce paced the defense with a team -h igh 14 tackles, while senior cornerback Chris Clark added 10 stops, including 2.5 for losses, and senior end Kroy Biermann had four tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and two fumble re coveries.

MISSOULA, MT - Mike Ferriter had two touchdown catches, halfback Lex Hilliard rushed for 116 yards and a score, and the defense had an outstanding sec ond half, as the fourth-ranked Griz beat the Vikings in a Big Sky Conference contest. The win, played on “Senior Day” in front of 23,446 fans - the 15th largest in Washington-Grizzly Stadium history - gave the Grizzlies (9-0 overall/6-0 Big Sky) at least a share of their 10th Big Sky regular-season championship in a row. The victory also gave Montana the league’s automatic berth into the Football Championship Subdivision (l-AA) playoffs - adding to their record run with their 15th straight. PSU took an early 3-0 lead on a 30-yard field goal by Danny Urrego. The Grizzlies tied it at 3-all on the next series on a 47-yard field goal by senior Dan Car penter. Montana went ahead 10-3 when quarterback Cole Bergquist hit Ferriter for a 69-yard touchdown pass. After the Vikings picked off a Bergquist pass, PSU fullback Olaniyi Sobomehin scored on a 3-yard run, tying the game up again at 10-10. The Grizzlies regained the lead on their next pos session on a 7-yard touchdown run by Hilliard. That touchdown gave Hilliard his 48th career touchdown (46 rushing, two receiving), tying former (48 touch downs, 1998-2001) halfback Yohance Humphery for the record for most total career touchdowns. Hilliard’s scoring run was set up on a 56-yard completion from Bergquist to Ryan Bagley, who advanced the ball to the PSU 11-yard line. After a fumble by PSU punt returner Reggie Jo seph, the Griz started on the Viking 16, and halfback

Greg Coleman scored from five yards out, giving UM a 24-10 lead. Just nine seconds later, PSU quarterback Drew Hubei connected with senior wide receiver Tremayne Kirkland for a 73-yard touchdown, making it 24-17. Ferriter scored his second touchdown of the game on an 18-yard pass from Bergquist with 5:41 to go in the third quarter, giving Montana a 31-17 lead. PSU battled back, as Sobomehin scored from one yard out, making it 31-24 Grizzlies at halftime. Carpenter’s 35-yard field goal at 1:46 to go in the third quarter gave the Grizzlies a 34-24 lead, and it was also the Grizzlies’ only points in the second half. It was Carpenter’s 68th career field goal, which moved him up to fifth on the all-time FCS list. His 383 career points moved him up to third on the FCS scoring list for kickers. Condrew Allen picked off a Bergquist pass and re turned it for a touchdown, cutting the Griz lead to 34-31 with 6:14 left to play. But, like last week at Northern Arizona, UM ran out the clock to preserve the win, as Bergquist connected with Bagley for a key first down, and Hilliard ran for another two. The Grizzly defense held the Vikings to 106 total

mann set the tone for the second half when, for the second time this season, he blocked a field goal right before intermission. The score was 7-all at halftime. Montana regained the lead on its second series of the third quarter, as Bergquist connected with Eric Allen on a 24-yard fade pass in the left corner of the end zone for a touchdown. But ISU answered the Griz score just seconds later, as JD Ponciano returned a kickoff 100 yards for a score, tying the contest 14-14 at the 9:27 mark of the third stanza.

It was Schulte’s second career receiving touch down. UM added six more fourth-quarter points thanks to the right leg of kicker Dan Carpenter, who made field goals from 29 and 44 yards out. ISU managed 11 total yards and two first downs in the fourth quarter Montana had five sacks in the fourth quarter, two by Biermann, and one each by Kelly Kain, Mike Stadnyk, and Jace Palmer.

BOZEMAN, MT - The Griz won their 21 st regular-season game in a row, as senior halfback Lex Hilliard rushed for three touchdowns, junior quarterback Cole Bergquist passed for two touchdowns, with both throws going to senior wide receiver Eric Allen, and the Montana defense held MSU to six points in the second half to lead the way. The Big Sky Conference contest was the 107th Griz-Cat football game. It was also Montana’s (11-0/8-0 Big Sky) 16th consecutive conference victory, as they went 8-0 in league play for the second year in a row. Montana jumped to a 6-0 first-quarter lead on two field goals by senior kicker Dan Carpenter, who connected from 51 and 41 yards out, but MSU took a 7-6 lead on a 5-yard run by Demetrius Crawford with 2:52 to go in the first period. The Cats extended their lead to 14-6 late in the second quarter on a 1-yard run by Crawford. Howev er, the Grizzlies answered the MSU score right before halftime, as Hilliard powered over for a 2-yard scor ing run, making it 14-13 Bobcats at intermission. UM took the lead for good when Allen caught a pass from Bergquist in the middle of the field, cut to his left, and raced untouched into the end zone at the 12:08 mark of the third quarter, making it 20-14, Montana. Early in the fourth quarter Bergquist hit Allen on a fade pattern in the right side of the end zone on a 23yard touchdown pass to give the Griz a 27-14 lead. MSU came right back, though, as halfback Isaiah Taito scored on a 1-yard run. Griz defensive tackle Craig Mettler blocked the all-important PAT attempt, making it 27-20 Griz with 4:21 to go. The Griz then took control, going 59 yards on 12 plays on a 5:46 drive, with Hilliard scoring from two yards out. Hilliard capped a terrific day by breaking loose for a 31-yard touchdown run with 2:35 left.

Hilliard rushed 32 times for 181 yards. It was his sixth 100-yard effort of the season. Bergquist was 22-of-33-0 for 274 yards and also rushed 10 times for 24 yards.

2008 Griz Football

The Big Sky Conference enters its 46th year of athletic com peti tion in 2008-09. The Big Sky is an NCAA Division I member in all sports, with member institutions classified in the Football Championship Subdivision (formally l-AA). The Big Sky returned to a nine-team form at in 2006 with the addition of Northern Colorado. The current lineup includes Eastern Washington, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, Portland State, Sacra mento State and Weber State. The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in the Football Championship Subdivision.

BENGALS

IDAHG

The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members - Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Arizona. 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.

m i it

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, Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years before Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001. With the addition of Northern Colorado, the Big Sky spreads across eight 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 institutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and now Colorado. Of the eight western-m ost states in the contiguous United States only one, Nevada, is not represented in the Big Sky. On Feb 2 5,1 96 3 , the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the charter members as the name of the new conference. The name Big Sky originated in a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., in 1947 entitled “The Big Sky.’’ Jack Hollowell, a form er Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State. While on a track and field trip from Pocatello, Idaho, to Missoula, Mont., the legendary Dubby Holt of Idaho State saw a “Welcome to Big Sky Country” sign as his team entered Montana. Holt, and his athletes thought “ Big Sky” would be a perfect name fo r the new conference. Harry Missildine of the Spokane SpokesmanReview called forthe newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his column dated Feb. 2 0,1 96 3 . The Big Sky sponsors championships in 14 sports, including men’s and wom en’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In addition, there are also championships in football, and wom en’s volleyball, golf and soccer.

The 2008-09 season will mark the 21th year that the Big Sky Confer ence will sponsor championships in wom en’s sports. The form er Mountain West Conference existed from 1982-88, sponsoring cham pionships fo r wom en’s sports at the same institutions the Big Sky had men’s programs. The Big Sky merged with the Mountain West in 1988, form ing one league for both men and women. Doug Fullerton, the fifth com m issioner of the Big Sky Conference, will enter his 14th year at the helm. Fullerton took over the Big Sky on July 1, 1995, replacing longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson. Stephenson served the league fo r 14 years. Steve Belko was the com m issioner from 1977-81 while John Roning held the post from 1971-77. The first league commissioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

2 0 0 7 : Montana Breaks FCS Record for Playoff Berths

Griz look on during the 2007 NCAA FCS quarterfinal game vs. Wofford. (Photo by Cary Shimek)

Montana continued to be one of the premier programs in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, adding to its FCS record with a 15th straight berth in the playoffs. The Grizzlies made their 18th playoff appearance in 2007, the most in FCS history. Montana had begun the season tied with Eastern Kentucky for the most playoff berths (17) in division history. The Grizzlies won national titles in 2001 and 1995, were the runners-up in 1996, 2000 and 2004, and have advanced to the semifinal game seven times. In the current millennium, Montana has won 91 games - 11.4 victories per season over the past eight years. In 2007, UM won a 10th consecutive Big Sky Conference title and has now won league titles in 13 of the past 15 seasons going back to1993. However, in 2007, the Grizzlies suffered a rare home playoff setback, losing 23-22 in a first-round game to Wofford. Montana is 22-6 at home in the playoffs, and its setback to Wofford was its fifth FCS playoff loss at home by three points or less. UM’s six home playoff losses (out of 28 games) were 49-48 to Delaware in 1993, 30-27 to Youngstown State in 1999, 43-40 in double overtime to Western Illinois in 2003, 35-21 to Cal Poly in 2005, 19-17 in the semis to UMass in 2006, and last season. UM had several players establish milestones in 2007. Senior defensive end Kroy Biermann became UM’s first ever Buck Buchanan Award winner, given to the FCS “Defensive Player of the Year.” Biermann was second in the nation in sacks with 1.25 a game last season, and his 32.5 career sacks are the sec ond most in school history. Senior halfback Lex Hilliard set school career records with 50 rushing touchdowns and 52 total scores (he scored twice on pass receptions). Hilliard’s 4,018 career rush yards are the second most in school history. Kicker Dan Carpenter set FCS career records with 75 field goals (out of 103) and 413 points by a kicker. Senior linebackers Tyler Joyce and Kyle Ryan finished second and sixth in UM history with 352 and 304 career tackles, respectively. Montana has won 43 games the past four seasons. 2 0 0 6 : Griz Advance to Semis for Eighth Time

(Photo by Dean Hendrickson)

In 2006 the Grizzlies narrowly missed playing in their sixth national title game in 12 years. Montana started the year with a loss (41-7) at 16th-ranked Iowa then reeled off 11 wins in a row, before losing in the FCS semifinal game and finished 12-2 overall and 8-0 in the Big Sky. UM’s successful season was especially impressive considering it lost running back Lex Hilliard, a 2006 Walter Payton Award candidate, for the season to an injury in fall camp. The Griz were led by senior quarterback Josh Swogger, the play of three outstanding junior wide receivers and a solid running attack, and an opportunistic defense. Swogger threw 17 touchdown passes, while UM’s “ABC” wideouts, Eric Allen, Ryan Bagley, and Craig Chambers, combined for 147 catches and 17 touchdowns, and halfbacks Reggie Bradshaw, Brady Green, and Thomas Brooks-Fletcher rushed for a total of 19 touchdowns. A young defense led the Big Sky in several key categories and was ranked ninth in the FCS in total defense, allowing 226.4 yards a game. Montana defeated 22-ranked McNeese State 31-6 in a FCS first-round game, beat No.10 Southern Illinois 20-3 in the quarterfinals, but lost 19-17 to third-ranked UMass in the semi-final game that was televised nationally on ESPN2. Fourth-year Head Coach Bobby Hauck became the first Griz mentor in history to win four Big Sky titles. (He won a fifth league championship last season.) 2 0 0 5 : Griz Lose in First Round

Montana was 8-4 overall and 5-2 in the Big Sky, receiving an at-large bid into the playoffs. The Griz were led by Hilliard who rushed for 1,322 yards - the second highest total in single-season history. The defense was ranked sixth in the country in turnover margin at +1.08. The ninth-ranked Griz hosted a first-round playoff game and suffered a rare home loss, losing 35-21 to 10th-ranked Cal Poly. Of UM’s six playoff losses at home, the 14-point loss was the largest ever. 2 0 0 4 : Fifth Trip to the FCS Title Game in the Last 10 Seasons

Head coach Bobby Hauck took the Griz to their fifth trip to the FCS title game in 2004, his second season at the helm.

Montana went 12-3 overall and advanced to the FCS championship game for the fifth time in the last 11 years. Quarterback Craig Ochs passed for 3,807 yards and 33 touchdowns and set a league record by completing 68.7% of his passes. The Griz defense was ranked third in the country in turnover margin (+1.47) with 38 take-aways. Hilliard tied the school record for touchdown runs with 17, while senior wide receiver Jefferson Heidelberger had the second most receiving yards in 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), losing 31-21 to James Madison in the FCS championship game. 2 0 0 3 : Griz B reak Playoff Record Streak

In 2003 Montana set the FCS record by making its 11th consecutive playoff appearance, breaking the mark of 10 that it shared with Eastern Kentucky, who played in 10 straight from 1986-1995. Montana received an at-large bid into the playoffs, losing a 43-40 double overtime thriller to visiting Western Illinois in the first round. Senior kicker Chris Snyder set four NCAA career records in the FCS with 394 points and 182 PATs, and a single-season mark with 123 kicking points. He also set a record by connecting on 126 consecu tive PATs. Defensive end Tim Bush finished his career as Montana’s all-time sacks (32.5) and tackles for loss (50) leader. His 34.5 sacks are the second most in FCS history. 2 0 0 2 : Griz Tie FCS M ark for Consecutive Wins

The Griz started the season with 10 wins in a row, and, combined with 14 straight wins the year before, they tied the FCS mark for consecutive wins with 24. The streak began on September 22 of 2001, with a 30-0 home win over Western Washington and was stopped on Nov. 16 of 2002, with a 30-21 setback at Eastern Washington in Spokane. Montana tied Pennsylvania, which had 24 wins in a row from 1992-95. Montana also set the record 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 and senior safety Trey Young was the league’s defensive player of the year. Montana defeated Northwestern State 45-14 at home in a first-round playoff game but lost 24-20 at McNeese State in a quarterfinal contest. 2 0 0 1 : Griz Win Second N ational Championship

Montana won its second FCS national championship in history, defeating Furman University 13-6. Edwards engineered a 16-play, 99-yard scoring drive for UM’s only touchdown in the title game. Half back Yohance Humphery was a work-horse in the game, gaining 142 yards on 30 carries. The Griz defense limited the Paladins to 121 yards rushing (124 under their season average), and the defense forced three turnovers. Furman’s only score came on a Hail Mary pass as time expired. Humphery wrapped up his illustrious career as Montana’s all-time rusher with 4,070 career yards, the sixth most in Big Sky history. PERIOD The Grizzlies’ 15 victories are a school record for the most wins in a season. P0SS" 2 0 0 0 : Third Trip to the Title Game

Senior kicker Chris Snyder set four NCAA career records.

BONUS

The Griz earned a trip to the championship game for the third time in six seasons, losing 27-25 to Georgia Southern in Chattanooga, Tenn. Starting Griz quarterback Drew Miller was injured late in the first quarter, and Edwards, a sophomore, was called into action. The Griz trailed 20-3 at halftime in a rain-soaked Finley Stadium but took a 23-20 lead early in the fourth quarter on a scoring run by Humphery. However, the lead was short-lived as Eagle halfback and 2000 Walter Payton Award winner Adrian Peterson broke loose for a 57-yard touchdown run for the game-deciding score. 1 9 9 9 -9 7 : Griz Lose Three Straight First-Round Games

From 1997-99 the Griz lost three first-round playoff games in a row, but in 1999 they set the Big Sky record with their seventh consecutive FCS playoff ap pearance. The old standard of six straight was set by former Big Sky member Idaho from 1985-90. In 1999, Youngstown State, coached by current Ohio State mentor Jim Tresspeaks sell, kicked a late field goal for a 30-27 win in a first-round FCS game. About a week after that loss, Griz mentor Mick Dennehy took the head job at Utah State, where he coached until 2004. In 1998 Montana suffered its worst playoff setback ever, losing 52-9 at Western Illinois. The playoff loss streak began with a loss at McNeese State in 1997 when the Cowboys scored on a last-second touchdown for a 19-14 first-round victory.

199 6: Moss Is Too Much and Griz Are Runners-Up

Montana reeled off 14 straight wins to advance to the title game. For the second year in a row they played at Marshall, as current NFL star wide receiver Randy Moss grabbed four touchdown catches in a 49-29 Marshall win. The FCS title game was the first time ever two undefeated (14-0) teams played for the championship. Griz quarterback Brian Ah Yat set (then) playoff records for pass completions with 36 and total plays (67). UM wide receiver Joe Douglass set a playoff record with 13 receptions, and he also set Montana single-season standards with 82 catches for 1,469 yards and 18 touchdowns. 1 99 5 : Griz Win First N ational Championship

The Grizzlies won their first national championship with a last-second, 22-20 come-from-behind vic tory over host Marshall in front of an FCS playoff-record crowd of 32,106 in Huntington, W. Va. Walter Payton Award-winning quarterback Dave Dickenson passed for 1,219 yards and 11 touch- Head coach Don Read hoists the downs in Montana’s first three playoff games, UM winning by a lop-sided combined score of 163-14. ^ Qr/Z national Championship In the title game, Dickenson orchestrated a 12-play, 72-yard scoring drive, culminating with a 25-yard trophy in 1995

P ost Seaso n P l a y field goal by Andy Larson with 39 seconds left for the game-winner. The key play in that winning drive came on a fourth-andthree from the 50-yard line, when Dicken son 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. Montana set FCS playoff records with 125 first downs, 137 pass completions, 197 pass attempts, and 1,703 yards passing. 1993-1994: A Program on the Rise The Griz squeaked by Northern Iowa 23-20 in a 1994 first-round contest, and then nipped visiting McNeese State 30-28 in a snow storm on a game-ending field goal by Larson. Dickenson was re-injured early in the win over McNeese, and he was not able to play in the semifinal - a 28-9 loss at Youngstown State. In 1993, Montana rolled to a 10-1 regular-season record, with the only blemish a 35-30 loss at Oregon. After that loss to the Ducks, the Griz reeled off nine straight wins and won their first league title since 1982. The season ended in a 49-48 heart breaking, last-second first-round FCS playoff loss to visiting Delaware. The Grizzlies won 93 games in the 1990’s, second only to Youngstown State (103), while their 74.4 (93-32) winning per centage was the third best of the decade. 1989: Griz Host Their First Playoffs Montana hosted a playoff game and won one for the first time in school his tory, beating Jackson State 48-7. The next week the Griz hosted Eastern Illinois, win ning 25-19. Montana lost 45-15 to eventual national champion Georgia Southern in Statesboro in the semis. 1982 and 1988: In the Playoffs Montana’s initial trip to the playoffs in 1982 came five years after the FCS/I-AA playoff system began. The Griz lost 21-7 to former Big Sky member and host Idaho. Six years later, in 1988, the Griz earned their first at-large bid into the playoffs, los ing (38-19) once again at Idaho.

FCS Playoff Format History The FCS playoff field now includes 16 teams, while in its inaugural season of 1978 there were four. It expanded to eight teams in 1981 and then six years later, in 1986, it adopted its current 16team format. Montana has now participated in 18 of the FCS’s 30 tournaments, or 60 percent of them. 1969-1970: M ontana Plays for NCAA College Division Title Montana played for the College Divi

2008 sion national championship in 1969 and 1970. The Griz went undefeated and untied for the first time in school history at 10-0 and won their first-ever Big Sky title in 1969 and repeated that feat again in 1970. Both years Montana advanced to the Camellia Bowl in Sacramento, Calif., but, missing many start ers because NCAA’s rules on junior college transfers, the under-manned Griz lost 30-3 to top-ranked North Dakota State in 1969 and 31-16 to the same team a year later.

Jim O'Day, Director of Athletics Jim O’Day was named Director of Athletics at The University of Montana by UM President George Dennison on June 30, 2005. Prior to that, he spent almost four years as UM’s Director of Development for Intercollegiate Athletics, and three years as Assistant Director of the Grizzly Athletic Association (now the Grizzly Scholarship Association). As Director of Development, O’Day was responsible for major gift development as it pertains to athletics and served as the liaison between UM Athletics and The University of Montana Foundation. At the GAA, he was involved in annual gift fund-raising. O’Day returned to his alma mater in 1998 following a lengthy career in the print media business. After graduating from the UM School of Journalism in 1980, O’Day was the sports editor of the Daily Interlake newspaper in Kalispell, Mont., for two years. Following the death of his father in 1982, he returned to his hometown of Cut Bank, Mont., to assist his mother as a reporter/editor of the twice-weekly, and family-owned, Western Breeze newspaper. In 1987, he purchased the newspaper from his mother and served as owner/publisher until selling the business to his employees in 1998. He then relocated to Missoula to begin work with the GAA. O’Day was a charter member of the Cut Bank Education Foundation and Alumni Association. He was Cut Bank’s Citizen of the Year in 1992 and served on various boards and committees in the community. In 1986, he was selected as a member of the UM Alumni Association’s Board of Delegates, and his volunteer work with that organization eventually led to his involvement in other UM activities. He organized the Golden Triangle Chapter of the GAA in 1992 and eventually became the state board president until his appointment at UM in 1998. O’Day was the 1991 recipient of The University of Montana Service Award. Jim and his wife Kathy have three sons: Chris, Kevin and Brian. Chris graduated from The University of Montana in the spring of2008, and Kevin is a student at The University of Montana, while Brian will be a senior at Missoula Hellgate High School in the fall of 2008. O’Day sits on the board of directors for the Master’s of Education in Intercollegiate Athletics Leadership program with the University of Washington and is a member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). In December 2007, he was honored by the All-American Football Foundation as the recipient of the Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletics Director Award. In 2008, O’Day was selected to a four-year team on the NCAAs Football Championship Subdivision Playoff Selection Committee.
