Grizzly Football
The Home of the Grizzlies The 2009 season will be the 24th year that the University of Montana Grizzly football team will call Washington-Griz zly Stadium at John Hoyt field its home. Since playing their first game in the stadium in 1986, the Grizzlies have an overall record of 149-20 for a winning per centage of 88.2%. Montana was 9-0 at home last season. That first game was played mid-way through the season on October 18, 1986, a 38-31 come-from-behind win over Idaho State. Last season Montana set Big Sky Conference regular-season home attendance records, drawing 174,236 fans in seven games, averaging 24,891 per contest. The Grizzlies also set the standard for the largest crowd to attend a regular-season game with 25,326 at the Central Washington contest. Montana led the NCAA Football Championship Subdivi sion (FCS) in average attendance in 2005 and 2006, and have been ranked second the last two seasons. Last year UM aver aged 23,923 fans in nine home games (including two playoff contests). The Grizzlies broke the Washington-Grizzly Stadium at tendance mark five times during the 2008 season in its ex panded facility The attendance at all seven regular-season home games last year is ranked in the top 20 of all-time marks of the 169 contests played there since 1986. UM set a conference record with 27 consecutive regularseason wins from 2006-08, that skein ended with a 45-28 set back on Oct. 4 at Weber State last year. Over the past three seasons the Grizzlies are 20-0 at home in regular-season games. No Place Like Home Not only has Montana won 149 games in its 23 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 Sonoma State on Sept. 3 and ended with a 40-35 loss to Eastern Washington on Oct. 18 of 1997. UMs 30 consecutive home wins are the fifth most in FCS history. Stadium History and Namesake The plans for an on-campus football facility at Montana came to fruition in August of 1985 when Missoula business man Dennis R. Washington and the employees of Washington Corporations provided a gift of $1 million, hence the name of Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The cost of the stadium was around $3.2 million. There are 49 private boxes located on the east and west sides of the stadium, and they are individually decorated and furnished.

Stadium Expansions Washington-Grizzly Stadium underwent its third expansion, at a cost of approximately $6.5 million, prior to the 2008 football season. The eastside expansion now houses a 500-seat “Sta dium Club” with two membership levels: the “Canyon Room” has 125 seats inside and 125 seats outside, and the “Hellgate Terrace,” which has 250 seats. The recent expansion provided 375 Grizzly Scholarship Association priority seats, which are located between the 25-and-40-yard lines and on both sides of the 50-yard line, as well as 1,150 non-priority seats located on the 10-to-25-yard lines. This expansion increased the current seating capacity of Washington-Grizzly Stadium to 25,217. The second expansion occurred in the spring and summer of 2003, and approximately 4,000 seats were added to the north end zone section, increasing the stadium capacity to 23,183, with a cost of about $3.5 million. In the spring of 1995 the stadium under went its first expansion in the north and south end zones. At that time there were 12,500 per manent seats, and seating was available, weath er-permitting, in the grass end zones, which made the capacity around 15,000. The cost was approximately $2.5 million. GrizVision, a state-of-the-art video and message center, was added in 2002. GrizVision displays game statistics, player profiles, digital replays, and shots of the crowd. The screen is one of the largest in the FCS, measuring 26 feet by 36 feet, and it came from New York City and Times Square. A natural-grass stadium gave way to Sprinturf prior to the 2001 season at a cost of about $1 million, and a new Sprinturf playing surface was installed in 2008, which was paid for by an anonymous donor. The field was named “John Hoyt Field” in 2001 at the request of the anony mous donor, in honor of Hoyt, a long-time Griz zly booster, who passed away in March 2001. The Griz locker rooms measure 4,000plus square feet. The Adams Center features a 7,000-square foot weight room, a 4,500-square foot athletic treatment center, the Jacobson Academic Center, and a meeting room with big screen videos. The womens locker room covers 4,000 square feet. There are also three additional meeting rooms totaling 2,000 square feet.

BOBBY HAUCK SEVENTH YEAR AT MONTANA: 66-16 OVERALL/39-6 BIG SKY Bobby Hauck is the winningest coach in Big Sky Conference history in terms of victories per season (11) and conference championships (six). His teams have compiled an amazing over all record of 66-16 and equally impressive 39-6 Big Sky slate in his six-year tenure at his alma mater (1988). When Coach Hauck reached the 60-win plateau in the fall of 2008, he was the fifth coach in Big Sky history to accomplish that, and he hit that mark of 60 victories two seasons faster than any other coach in league history. Hauck is ranked fourth in Big Sky history with his 66 career victories. Under Haucks tutelage the Grizzlies have won six straight league championships and participated in six consecutive Football Cham pionship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs, and he is the only mentor ever at Montana to accomplish that, while his six league titles are twice as many as any other Grizzly coach. Montanas 66 wins the past six seasons since Hauck took over the reigns in 2003 are the most by any FCS team. The Grizzlies 11 consecutive Big Sky championships are the second most in FCS or Football Bowl Subdivision history. Hauck, 44, is ranked fourth in Big Sky his tory with his 66 career victories. He is second in school history in wins, as former Griz mentor Don Read won 85 games in his 10-year tenure
THE HAUCK FAMILY

The Grizzlies have won (or shared) the Big Sky crown since 1998, and UM has finished atop the league 14 of the past 16 seasons. “Every season is different, but it was really en joyable last season to have it all come together,” said seventh-year UM head coach Bobby Hauck. “We

Obviously it was quite a season - amazing to say the least. “This year we lost a lot of key compo nents off that team: three offensive linemen, two defensive tackles; an All-American safe ty; a starting defensive end and linebacker; a prolific receiver; and one of the winningest quarterbacks in our school history,” said Hauck, who is 66-16 in his tenure and has won twice as many (six) Big Sky titles as any coach in Montana history. “With that being said, our winter condi tioning and spring practices were very pro ductive,” Hauck said. “I think our first group on both sides of the ball have the ability to compete at a high level. The rest of the guys have a ways to catch up. We need to continue to develop our depth.” Along with 13 starters (seven offense, six defense) are 48 lettermen, plus a couple of kickers.

2 0 0 9 SEASON O U T L O B THE OFFENSE Last season Montana was one of the highest scor ing teams in the FCS, ranked 21st in scoring (31.8 ppg) and 26th in total offense (393.3 ypg). That total offense average was due in a large part to the rushing of Reynolds, as UM was 25th in the nation in rush ing (175.1 ypg). However, a substantial amount of that offensive production was due to Bergquist, who was ranked eighth in the country in passing efficiency, as he

Junior Tight End Robert Overton
passed for 3,156 yards and 28 touchdowns, and he also rushed for eight scores. Bergquist accounted for 3,512 total yards, or 51% of UM’s 6,292 total yards. Ferriter, a three-year starter, was UM’s secondleading receiver last season with 50 catches for 820 yards and 10 touchdowns. Halfback Andrew Schmidt also graduated, and he was UM’s secondleading rusher with 466 yards. Montana had 3,490 receiving yards in 2008, and 2,418 (69.3%) of those yards were by players returning this season. Dow and Quinn started all 16 games at left guard and center, respectively, while Russum started the first nine contests at right tackle until he was side lined with an injury. QUARTERBACK: Andrew Selle is UM’s most experienced signal-caller. Oregon transfer Justin Roper, also a junior, will compete with Selle for the starting job. Redshirt freshman Gerald Kemp is also in the mix. Selle has passed for 489 career yards and five touchdowns in 13 career games. Roper played in six games last season at Oregon, and was 48-of-91-4 for 610 yards and three touchdowns, and he also rushed for a score. Kemp is perhaps the best overall athlete at the position, and he has the ability to run the op tion. “We are not sure who will be our starting quar terback going into fall camp, but we feel very good about the players we have there,” Hauck said.
2009
RUNNING BACK: When Lex Hilliard com pleted (in 2007) his superb four-year career with his record-setting 50 touchdown runs, the Griz faith ful held their collective breaths to see who would emerge at halfback. Reynolds, a Walter Payton Award Candidate this year, burst upon the FCS scene, though, rushing for a school-record 22 touchdowns, while his 1,583 yards were the second most ever in a season at UM. Reynolds, a second team All-Big Sky pick last sea son, started in 13 games and rushed for 100 or more yards in eight contests. His 98.9 rush yards a game ranked him 30th in the nation. Senior Thomas Brooks-Fletcher, who has rushed for 845 career yards, had an outstanding spring and will share some of the load with Reynolds. Sopho more Beau Donaldson was pressed into service last season as a “true” freshman, and he will be a factor as well. Redshirt freshman Tel Reynolds, Chases younger brother, displayed substantial talent this past spring. Sophomore Dan Moore was unable to play last year due to NCAA rules, but he had a prolific prep career, so both Tel Reynolds and Moore could be in the mix at running back. OFFENSIVE LINE: There is a good nucleus back in Dyk (11 starts), Hillesland (10 starts), and Horn (15 starts). Horn was a second team all-league pick in 2008, while Dyk and Hillesland were honor able mention selections. Junior Alex Verlanic saw a lot of action a year ago and will start at center, while sophomore Jon Opperud, who played as a “true” freshman last sea son, will get the starting nod at left guard. The only other players back who have any game experience are sophomores David Arndt and Charles Burton, along with junior transfer (West ern Washington) Russell Piette. Redshirt freshmen Blake Lebeau and Kyle Kmet may also contribute. WIDE RECEIVER: In 2008 Mariani had teamhighs of 69 catches for 1,308 yards and 15 touch downs and was a first team All-Big Sky choice. Both his receiving yardage and touchdown grabs are the second most in UM history in a season. Senior Tyler Palmer had the fifth most (20) catches on the team a year ago. Sambrano, a speedy sophomore, has battled injuries recently, but has outstanding potential. Larson will also be a factor Youth will definitely be a factor at wide receiver. Levi Buckles, Sam Gratton, and Connor Smith, who are all redshirt freshmen, could all see playing time. TIGHT END: This will once again be a strong position for the Grizzlies. Pfahler and Beaudin have both been honorable mention all-league picks the last three seasons and have shared the starting job, and 2009 will be no different. A year ago Pfahler was the Grizzlies’ third-leading receiver with 24 re ceptions, while Beaudin had the seventh most (14). Overton had an excellent spring, and redshirt fresh man Greg Hardy will be in the mix too. FULLBACK: Klaboe, who has started in 38 games, is a three-time honorable mention All-Big Sky selection, and invaluable as a blocker and deep snap per. Junior Nick Lebsock should also see action.
Senior Cornerback Andrew Swink
THE DEFENSE Montana’s opportunistic and “bend-but-notbreak” defense led the Big Sky and was ranked 10th in the FCS, allowing only 17.75 points a game. Scor ing defense has been the Grizzlies’ forte recently, as they were second in the country in scoring defense in 2007, giving up a measly 14.8 points per contest. Overall the Grizzlies were ranked 45th in total defense (330.9 ypg). The Grizzlies were 13th in the nation in the all-important turnover margin catego ry (+1.0). Anderson, a Buck Buchanan Award finalist, was Montana’s leading tackier with 129 stops a year ago,

2009 SEASON OUTLOOK while Corwin was third with 104. Stadnyk, who was a second round draft pick by Saskatchewan follow ing his junior year, was second on the team with eight-plus sacks last season. Schillinger was outstanding last season and a second team all-conference pick. Despite not start ing, junior Erik Stoll was UMs 10th leading tackier (45 TT) and will start at strong safety. Palmer is a proven commodity at defensive end, as are Johnson, Swink, and Thompson at cornerback. Fisher and Lebsock each started every game in 2008, and up-and-coming sophomore Alex Shaw has the inside track at the starting job at weakside linebacker. Tyler Hobbs improved with each game last sea son, and fellow junior tackle Carson Bender is ex pected back after missing the crux of last season with an injury. Senior Austin Mullins started three games last season when Mettler was injured, and he was UMs 11th leading tackier (38 TT). That trio of Bender, Hobbs, and Mullins gives Montana a good nucleus to the middle of its D-line. DEFENSIVE END: Jace Palmer, an honorable mention all-league pick, had 27% (8.5) of Montanas 32 sacks last year. Sophomore Ryan Fetherston is a solid pass-rusher and may get the starting nod at the other D-end spot, but senior George Mercer, who missed spring drills due to an injury, may challenge him for that job if he is healthy. Junior Severin Campbell will also see action along with redshirt freshman Josh Harris. Sopho more Bobby Alt, a junior college transfer (Mt. San Antonio College) to UM, will also vie for “PT.” DEFENSIVE TACKLE: Junior Tyler Hobbs and Bender are listed as the starters on the pre-fall depth chart, but may be challenged by senior Austin Mul lins for one of the starting berths. Bender was lost for the season when he suffered an injury at Weber State last year and was unable to participate in spring drills. Junior college transfer Brett Hutter (Mt. Sac JC), along with junior Braydon Schilling and sophomore Bryan Waldhauser add depth. LINEBACKER: Fisher and Lebsock were both Big Sky honorable mention picks a year ago, and what they might lack in size they more than make up for with their quickness and aptitude. Shaw end ed spring drills as the starter at weakside linebacker, while and fellow sophomore Caleb McSurdy saw considerable action as a “true” freshman last season and will see “PT” this year. Sophomore Cole Lockwood and redshirt fresh men Brooks Rabold and Josh Stuberg are vying for playing time. CORNERBACK: Johnson had a team-high (tie) four interceptions in his 11 starts, and he missed the last few games due to an injury, but participated in spring drills. Swink was the teams seventh leading tackier with 58 and started in all 16 games. Thomp son played in all 16 contests and was UMs 12th lead ing taclder (37 TT). Junior college (College of the Sequoias) transfer Brandon Dodson, and sophomores Nick Haynes and Donny Lisowski will provide depth. SAFETY: Schillinger had four picks to go along with 100-plus tackles and is a heady player with ex cellent speed. Also in the mix is sophomore Mike 2009
Sophomore Cornerback Nick Haynes
McCord, who was moved from cornerback to free safety last spring. Stoll has the inside track as the starter at strong safety, but sophomore Mike Cummings had an out standing spring and will see plenty of playing time. Seniors Tim Anderson and Ryan Nelson add depth.
SPECIAL TEAMS KICKER: McKnight was one of the most im proved players in spring drills, while Schey, a talent ed athlete with potential, may redshirt this season. PUNTER: The Grizzlies added Sean Wren (Ful lerton JC) to their roster this past summer, and he is expected to be the starter. RETURNS: Mariani was also a first team All-Big Sky pick at returner. He was ranked fourth in the nation in punt returns (16.2 ypr) and averaged 22.9 yards per kickoff return. Sambrano and Thompson should see action as returners this season.
well against us, like they did a year ago. Cal Poly has almost become a rivalry game. The non-conference schedule will be demanding.” In the second half of the season Montana plays six Big Sky games. The Grizzlies host Eastern Wash ington, Weber State, and Northern Colorado, with road contests at Sac State and Idaho State sand wiched in between those three league battles. The regular season concludes in Bozeman on Nov. 21 against Montana State in the 109th Grizzly-Bob cat clash. Montanas three league home opponents all re turn several starters. The Eagles have 14 starters back from a 6-5 team; the Wildcats (a 10-4 team last year) return 13 starters, including four first team all-league players; while the Bears have 17 starters back. The Grizzlies three conference road foes also have veteran squads. The Hornets return 14 start ers from a 6-6 team; the Bengals have 14 starters back; while the Bobcats return 15 starters from a 7-5 squad. “The conference is a little bit of a mystery to me,” said Hauck, who sports a gaudy 39-6 Big Sky ledger (UM is 23-1 in league the past three seasons). “I am not sure who will be real good, but I think from top to bottom its going to be very solid. “I watch what Sac State has done in recruiting, and I think they’re dangerous,” he said. “Portland State can go up and down the field on people, and they play extremely hard and well against us in gen eral, just like everybody in the league does. “Weber States got a lot of good players back from the very good team that they had a year ago,” Hauck continued. “I think NAU feels strongly about their football team’s chances. Eastern Washington has a great quarterback in Matt Nichols and has a lot of guys back, and they have a chance to have a good year. “Everybody, from top-to-bottom, has a legiti mate chance to win the conference,” Hauck said. “It wouldn’t surprise me if any team in the league came up and challenged to win the title this year.”
THE SCHEDULE Following its season opener, Montana is on the road to play a talented UC Davis team. The Aggies gave the Grizzlies everything they wanted when the teams played last season, the Grizzlies winning 2924 in the final minutes of the game. UC Davis re turns 17 starters, including nine players on offense. The Grizzlies start their Big Sky slate early, on Sept. 19, hosting a Portland State Viking team that returns 16 starters and led the FCS in passing last season. A week after the PSU contest, the Griz have a road game in the Walkup Skydome of Northern Ari zona. The Lumberjacks return 14 starters from a 6-5 squad. After an open week (Oct. 3), Montana faces one of the top teams in the FCS, hosting the Cal Poly Mus tangs, in its homecoming game on Oct. 10. The Mus tangs return 14 starters, including eight on defense. Cal Poly was 8-3 last year, and Montana nipped the host Mustangs 30-28 in their 2008 Opener. “Our non-league schedule is probably about what it should be,” Hauck said. “Davis is historically a strong football program. They will play hard and

He had 50 receiving yards (three catches) and a career-long 27-yard scoring grab in an FCS semifinal game at James Madison. Says Coach Hauck: Obviously Chase had a big year for us last year, rushing for almost 1,600 yards. He set a school record for touchdown runs in a season. We expect him to have a big year. Most of his production came over the last eight games of the season, and we look for him to do the same thing during the course of the 2009 season. Hes got good speed, good power, and good vision. He gets downhill fast. He’s got the ability to run around people. He’s also got the ability to break tackles.” Rushing Year G/S 2008 16/13

MISSOULA, MT - Redshirt freshman place-kicker Brody McKnight connected on a 42-yard field goal with one second left, as Mon tana edged the upset-minded Wildcats. It was a battle between two unbeaten teams. The Wildcats, ranked seventh in Division II, en tered the game 4-0, while the Grizzlies, ranked fourth in the Football Championship Subdivi sion, came in at 3-0. The win gave Montana a 4-0 start for the second year in a row. The last Griz teams to ac complish that were the 1969 and 1970 squads. Montana extended its school and Big Sky Conference records by winning its 25th straight regular season game. Since opening the 2006 season with a loss to Iowa, Montana has won 25 straight regular-season games (10 in 2006, 11 in 2007 and four this season). UM broke the previ ous Big Sky mark of 23 straight regular-season victories it set from 1969-71. For the third straight week, the Grizzlies set a Big Sky record for the largest home crowd at a non-conference game, as 25,326 packed the newly-expanded Washington-Grizzly Stadium to watch UM nip CWU. The Griz also set atten dance records earlier this year against Southern Utah (25,056) and UC Davis (25,209). Central Washington capitalized on five turnovers by Montana, but the visitors from Ellensburg, Wash., also showed a lot of grit, over coming an 11-point deficit with 7:30 remaining. The Wildcats cut the Grizzly lead to 3532, when quarterback Mile Reilly hit wide-out Johnny Spevak for a 56-yard scoring pass with
7:30 to go. A pass from Reilly to tight end Jared Bronson was good for the two-point conver sion. CWU recovered the ensuing on-side kick, and six plays later kicker Garrett Rolsmas 44yard field goal knotted the score at 35-all with 2:47 left to play. Starting from their own 35-yard line, UM eked its way down the field, with the key plays, two catches by Mike Ferriter, covering 40 yards. McKnight then nailed the game-winner with one tick left on the clock. Thanks to a Griz fumble, CWU took an ear ly 7-0 lead on a 32-yard touchdown pass from Reilly to Ryan Dyer. But the Grizzlies made it 7-7 a few minutes later when Bergquist hit tight end Dan Beaudin for a 2-yard touchdown pass. CWU took a 14-7 lead when linebacker Buddy Wood scooped up a Bergquist fumble and raced 20 yards for a score. CWU took its biggest lead, 21-7, with 8:50 to go until halftime, when Reilly and Bronson hooked up for a 17yard scoring pass. Montana rebounded with back-to-back touchdown passes from Bergquist to Marc Mar iani of 64 and 42 yards, which tied the score 2121 with 2:47 left until intermission. Reynolds first touchdown run, a 12-yarder around left end, came at the 3:05 mark of the third quarter, and was the only scoring in that stanza, setting up the dramatic final 15 minutes. Bergquist was 25-of-34 for a career-high 377 yards and three touchdowns. Ferriter had a career-high 133 receiving yards and matched his career best with eight recep tions, while Mariani had six grabs for 161 yards and two scores. Reynolds rushed for a career-best 87 yards on 16 carries, and had the first two touchdown-day of his career as well. Senior safety Colt Ander son had a team-high 10 tack les, while junior linebacker Shawn Lebsock had eight stops and a tackle for a loss. Reilly, from Kalispell, was 21-of-35-0 for 280 yards and three touchdowns, while Spevak had seven recep tions for a game-leading 136 yards. CWU senior line backer Chris James had a game-high 15 tackles.

CHENEY, WASH. - The 12th-ranked Mon tana Grizzlies held off the potent and 23rd-ranked Eastern Washington Eagles offense for the win.

GREELEY, COLO. - Sophomore halfback Chase Reynolds rushed for a career-high 137 yards and two touchdowns, and senior quarter back Cole Bergquist passed for 243 yards and two scores, as the eighth-ranked University of Montana Grizzlies won their seventh game of the season - guaranteeing them their 23rd win ning season in a row. Montana took a three touchdown lead at the end of the first half on an eight-play, 93-yard drive, when Bergquist scored on a quarterback keeper on a six-yard touchdown run, making it 24-3 Montana at halftime. Bergquist completed 78 percent of his pass es, going 14-of-18-0 in three quarters of action. Griz wide receivers Mike Ferriter and Marc Mariani again had impressive outings. Fer riter had three receptions for 88 yards and one touchdown, while Mariani caught two balls for 38 yards and one touchdown. Reynolds had just 14 carries and had scor ing runs of 43 and 32 yards. Northern Colorado was forced to play all three of its quarterbacks after junior starter, Bryan Waggener did not return in the second half after an undisclosed injury. Waggener was 6-of-ll for 53 yards, while redshirt freshman quarterback Dylan Orms was 6-of-ll for one touchdown and 53 yards, and had a team-high 67 yards rushing and a touchdown. Sophomore QB James Schrenk saw limited action.
On the first Griz drive Reynolds had nine carries for 44 yards to get the Grizzlies within field goal range, and freshman kicker Brody McKnight put UM ahead 3-0 on a 20-yard field goal. On their next drive, the Bears found them selves with a first-and-goal after a couple of long plays, but it stalled, and kicker Michael York tied the game three-all on a 27-yard field goal with 30 seconds left in the first quarter. Montana kept giving the ball to Reynolds and when he took an inside draw through the line, he cut back to the right across the field and raced to the end zone for the 43-yard touchdown run, giving UM a 10-3 lead. On the next Griz possession Bergquist hit Ferriter on a deep crossing route, and he cut down the right sideline and out-sprinted several UNC defenders for a 75-yard touchdown. The four-play, 94-yard drive gave Montana a 17-3 lead. UM got the ball back with 1:39 left on the clock and had an eight-play, 93-yard drive, cul minating with a keeper by Bergquist, as he ran up the middle for a six-yard touchdown to give Montana a 24-3 halftime lead. The Grizzlies started the second half the same way they ended the first, as Reynolds went untouched on a 32-yard touchdown run to ex tend Montanas lead to 31-3 to start the second half. After a UNC field goal the Griz scored again, this time Bergquist con nected with Mariani who scored on a 30-yard touchdown - his 12th TD re ception of the season, giving the Griz a 38-6 lead with 3:32 left in the third quarter. McKnight added UMs final points on a 30-yard field goal with 13 seconds left in the third quarter, pushj ing the Griz advantage to 41-3. UNC scored two TDs in the final minutes of the contest, the first a oneyard run by Orms, and the next an Orms pass to Brandon Smith for a fiveyard TD. Griz junior tight end Steve Pfahier had a career and game-high four catch es for 55 yards, while senior receiver Rob Schulte and Reynolds each had two catches. Senior strong safety Colt Anderson and senior linebacker Tyler Corwin each had a team-leading nine tackles, while sophomore end Ryan Fetherston had seven stops and two tackles for loss. Sophomore halfback Chase Reynolds rushed for a career-high 137 yards and two touch downs at UNC.

PORTLAND, OREGON - The fifth-ranked Montana Grizzlies were led by sophomore half back Chase Reynolds’ three touchdowns runs; senior quarterback Cole Bergquist added 91 rushing yards and a touchdown; and UMs de fense limited the Vikings 210 total yards to lead the way in a 29-12 victory. The Vikings were moving the ball on their first drive of the second half, but that came came to a halt when Griz senior safety Colt Anderson recovered a Mario D’A mbrosio fumble after a long reception. Reynolds, who had career-highs of 35 carries for 160 yards and the three touch downs, made the most of the turnover by scor ing from 18 yards out. The seven-play, 52-yard drive put the Griz up 16-5 with 8:18 left in the third quarter. The Vikings bounced right back, though, on just three plays and 72 yards when sophomore quarterback Drew Hubei hit Raymond Fry on a 38-yard touchdown pass to bring the Vikings back within four points (16-12). On the Grizzlies next possession it appeared as though Bergquist had completed a pass to se nior wide receiver Mike Ferriter, but the initial call from the line judge was overruled by the field judge. Montana’s bench disputed the call and was called for an unsportsmanlike penalty, which turned a 20-plus yard pass completion into a 15-yard penalty. The Grizzlies were able to overcome the penalty and set up to attempt a 44-yard field goal, but kicker Brody McKnight faked the kick and took the pitch from holder Jeff Larson and ran for the first down. Montana went for it again on fourth down from the PSU 11-yard line, and Reynolds scored his second touchdown of the game with 31 seconds re maining in the third quarter to increase Mon tana’s lead to 23-12. Hubei, after completing a 47-yard pass to Lavonte Kirven, was picked off near the goal line by junior linebacker Brandon Fisher with a little more than nine minutes remaining in the game. PSU forced Montana to punt, though, and Hubei was again intercepted by Fisher on the first play of the ensuing drive. Reynolds once again made the most of the turnover by scoring on a 21-yard run, which gave the Grizzlies a comfortable 2912 lead with 3:51 left to play - the final points of the contest. Both teams had come into this game with potent offenses, but it was a defensive first half as the Griz held the Vikings to just 50 total yards. Even though Montana dominated the time of possession (19 minutes to 11) in the first half, the Griz had just nine points to show for it, as they led 9-5 at halftime.
The 91 yards rushing on 16 carries by Bergquist was a career-best, bettering the 89 yards he gained against Albany last season. In UM’s last three games Reynolds has rushed for 137 yards at Northern Colorado, 157 against Northern Arizona, and the 160 at PSU, giving him 454 yards and eight touchdowns in his last three games. Junior wide receiver Marc Mariani had a game-high five catches for 38 yards but did not have at least one touchdown reception for only the third time this season. Reynolds also had four grabs for 19 yards, while Ferriter had three for 29. Griz defensive ends Jace Palmer and Mike Stadnyk had two sacks each, while senior safety Colt Anderson had a team-best six tackles and a fumble recovery, and Fisher had two picks. Montana dominated the game statistically. The Griz outgained the Vikings 427 to 210 in to tal yards and doubled PSU in first downs (24 to 12). UM’s ground game racked up season highs of 309 yards on 62 attempts, which accounted for the lopsided time of possession numbers (43:21 to 16:39 for the Grizzlies). The win improved Montana’s record to 1GO21 this decade, and those 100 victories are the most by any FBS or FCS team during that time span. Oklahoma has the second most wins at 98, while Appalachian State is the closest FCS team in number of wins in the decades, with a mark of 87 victories.

BIG SKY CONFERENCE
MARC HP
M A R IA N I SENIOR WIDE RECEIVER/RETURNER
SKY CONFERENCE The Big Sky Conference enters its 47th year of athletic competition in 2009-10. The Big Sky is an NCAA Division I member in all sports, with member institutions classified in the Football Championship Subdivision (formally I-AA). The Big Sky returned to a nine-team format in 2006 with the addition of Northern Colorado. The current lineup includes Eastern Washington, Idaho State, Mon tana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, 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 the Football Championship Subdivision. The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter mem bers - 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. 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 Port land State, Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky main tained 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-most states in the contiguous United States only one, Nevada, is not represented in the Big Sky.
BE N G A L S
On Feb 25, 1963, 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 former Mon tana 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 for the new conference. Harry Missildine of the Spokane Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963. The Big Sky sponsors championships in 14 sports, including mens and womens cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In addition, there are also championships in football, and womens volleyball, golf and soccer. The 2009-10 season will mark the 22nd year that the Big Sky Confer ence will sponsor championships in womens sports. The former Mountain West Conference existed from 1982-88, sponsoring championships for womens sports at the same institutions the Big Sky had mens programs. The Big Sky merged with the Mountain West in 1988, forming one league for both men and women. Doug Fullerton, the fifth commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, will enter his 15th 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. The first league commissioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

National Title Despite losing 14 starters from a team that had gone undefeated (11-0) in the regular sea son the previous year, Montana had one of its best seasons in school history, advancing to the Football Championship Subdivision champion ship game, as the fifth-ranked Grizzlies lost 24-7 to No. 7 Richmond in Chattanooga, Tenn. Although they were in an unfamiliar re building mode going into the season, the Griz zlies advanced to the FCS title game for the sixth time in school history. In 2008, Montana participated in the FCS playoffs a record 16 years in a row and made its 19th appearance, also a division record. In its first-round game UM defeated visiting and 23rd-ranked Texas State 31-13. In the quar terfinals Montana stayed at home and avenged its early-season loss at Weber State, defeating the lOth-ranked Wildcats 24-13. In the FCS semi-final game Montana had its biggest ever playoff road win, beating topranked James Madison 35-27. Montana had some outstanding players on its FCS title-contending team. On offense, quarterback Cole Bergquist was ranked eighth in the country in passing efficiency, as he passed for 3,156 yards and 28 touchdowns. He also rushed for eight scores and was the second most successful quarterback in school history, compiling a record of 31-6 as a 2009
starter. Wide-out Mike Ferriter finished his ca reer ranked ninth in school history with 2,089 re ceiving yards. Linemen Colin Dow, J.D. Quinn, and Brent Russum all earned all-league and All-American recognition. Sophomore running back Chase Reynolds rushed for a school-record 22 touchdowns, while his 1,583 yards were the second most ever in a season at UM. The defense was led by strong safety Colt Anderson, a Buck Buchanan Award finalist, who was Montanas leading tackier with 129 stops, while fellow senior Kevin Corwin was third on the team from his linebacker position with 104 tackles. End Mike Stadnyk, a second round draft pick by Saskatchewan following the 2007 season, had eight-plus sacks. Head coach Bobby Hauck is now six-of-six in advancing his Grizzly teams to the FCS play offs during his tenure, and UM has also won its sixth Big Sky title in a row. Hauck reached the 60-win plateau faster than any coach in Big Sky history, winning his 60th game in his 74th con test, a 29-12 victory at Portland State. The Grizzlies won their 11th consecutive Big Sky Conference championship, meaning a UM team has now won league titles 14 of the past 16 seasons (starting in 1993). Montana is 23-1 in Big Sky games the past three seasons. Montanas FCS playoff run now stretches from 1993 to 2008. The Grizzlies won national titles in 2001 and 1995, and was the runner-up in 2008, 2004, 2000, and 1996.
The Grizzlies’ “rebuilding” team of 2008 was ranked second in the nation in the Sports Networks final poll and have been ranked in that organizations top 25 for 150 consecutive weeks. In the current millennium, Montana has won 105 games - the most victories by any FCS or Football Bowl Subdivision team in the nation. Those 105 victories over the last nine seasons translate to 11.7 wins per year.
2007:IGrizzlies-Make 15tmFGS PlayofftAppearance,IiTa;Row The Grizzlies had a perfect 11-0 record in the regular-season, and made their 18th overall playoff appearance and their 15th in a row. That 18 FCS playoff moved Montana past Eastern Kentucky for the most (17) in division history. Montana suffered a rare home loss in the play offs, 23-22, in a first-round set-back to Wofford. Several players from the 2007 squad left their names in the UM record books. Senior defensive end Kroy Biermann became Montanas first ever Buck Buchanan Award winner (the FCS De fensive Player of the Year). Senior halfback Lex Hilliard set school career records with 50 rushing touchdowns. Kicker Dan Carpenter set FCS ca reer records with 75 field goals 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.
Grizzly Football
-SEASON PLA1 In 2006 the Grizzlies narrowly missed play ing for their sixth national title in 12 years. Af ter losing at 16th-ranked Iowa, Montana won 11 straight games, finished 12-2 overall and 8-0 in the Big Sky. Hilliard, a 2006 Walter Payton Award can didate, was lost for the season to an injury in fall camp. The Griz were led by senior quarterback Josh Swogger, who passed for 17 touchdowns, while wide receivers Eric Allen, Ryan Bagley, and Craig Chambers, combined for 147 catches and 17 scores. Halfbacks Reggie Bradshaw, Brady Green, and Thomas Brooks-Fletcher combined for 19 rushing touchdowns. A young defense was ranked ninth in the FCS in total defense, allowing 226.4 yards a game. Host Montana defeated 22nd-ranked Mc Neese State 31-6 in an FCS first-round game, knocked off No.10 Southern Illinois 20-3 in the quarterfinals, but lost (19-17) to third-ranked UMass in the semi-finals in a game televised na tionally on ESPN2. Hauck became the first Griz mentor in his tory to win four Big Sky titles.
Montana was 8-4 overall and received an atlarge bid into the playoffs. The Griz were led by Hilliard who rushed for 1,322 yards - the second highest total (at the time) in single-season histo ry. The defense was ranked sixth in the country in turnover margin at +1.08. The ninth-ranked Griz hosted a first-round playoff game, losing 35-21 to lOth-ranked Cal Poly. Montana had defeated Cal Poly 36-27 at home earlier in the season.
Montana was 12-3 and advanced to the FCS championship game for the fifth time in the last 10 years. Quarterback Craig Ochs passed for 3,807 yards and 33 touchdowns and set a league re cord 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.

Walter Payton Award-winning quarterback Dave Dickenson passed for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns in Montanas first three playoff games, and the Grizzlies out-scored their oppo nents 163-14. In its first three playoff victories the host Grizzlies beat (in order): Eastern Ken tucky (48-0), Georgia Southern (45-0), and Ste phen F. Austin (70-14). In the title game, Dickenson orchestrated a 12-play, 72-yard scoring drive, culminating with a 25-yard field goal by Andy Larson with 39 sec onds left for the game-winner. The key play in that winning drive came on a fourth-and-three from the 50-yard line, when Dickenson hit wide receiver Mike Erhardt on a short slant pass for a 20-yard gain and a crucial first down. Senior receiver Matt Wells scored both of Montanas touchdowns. En route to the title Montana set FCS playoff records for first downs (125), pass completions (137), pass attempts (197), and passing yards (1,703).
