HEAD COACH ROBIN PFLUGRAD Robin Pflugrad was named the head football coach at Montana on Dec. 31, 2009. Pflugrad (pronounced: flew-grad) is UMs 34th head football coach. This past season he returned to Montana, where he served as the wide receivers coach and assisted with the offense. In 2009, Montanas offense was ranked second in the nation in scor­ ing (35.8 ppg), ninth in total offense (427.40), and 14th in passing (267.2 ypg). Senior wide receiver Marc Mar­ iani was named to several All-American teams and set numerous UM re­ cords. Pflugrad is a veteran coach who was a mentor in the prestigious Pac-10 Conference for 13 seasons with stints at Oregon, Washington State, and Arizona State. He has been a coach for 30 seasons overall and has worked 27 of those years at the college level. He came to UM from the University of Oregon where he served as the wide receivers coach for three seasons (2006-08). Prior to his stint in his hometown of Eugene, Rob coached the tight ends and served as assistant head coach and the recruiting coordinator for five seasons (2001-05) at WSU. He was the wide receivers and recruiting coordinator at ASU from 1995-2000. During his career, he has been instrumental in the development of nu­ merous quarterbacks and wide receivers who have received All-American recognition, along with several all-conference honorees, academic all-con­ ference athletes, and academic All-Americans. He began his coaching career at his alma mater, PSU, in 1980. A year later he had a one-year stint at South Eugene High School and then re­ turned to the college ranks. He came to Montana in 1986 when Don Read was named the UMs head coach. Pflugrad was an assistant coach for the Griz from 1986-94. While at UM he worked with the quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers and was promoted to assistant head coach in 1991.

2010 Grizzly Football iiT iiy


Senior

Quarterback


2010iSeasonOutlook" The University of Montana Grizzlies will begin the 2010 football season in familiar terri­ tory, tabbed as one of the top ranked squads in the Football Championship Subdivision and the favorite to win yet another Big Sky Conference title. That’s what first-year head coach Robin Pflu­ grad and his Grizzlies have facing them, but after-all, in 2009 the Grizzlies added to their record FCS playoff appearances with their 17th in a row and won a league-record 12 straight Big Sky championships, so those lofty expecta­ tions are surely no surprise to anyone. Montana also advanced to the FCS championship game a year ago, losing to Villanova 23-21. That was the Grizzlies’ seventh trip to the title game in the last 15 seasons. UM has now won (or shared) the conference crown every season since 1998, and finished first 15 of the past 17 seasons. The Grizzlies’ FCS playoff run now stretches from 1993-2009. There are huge shoes to fill this season if the Grizzlies plan to continue their record skeins of playoff berths and league championships. The Grizzlies were ranked second in the na­ tion in the final Sports Network and the FCS coaches poll. They have been ranked in the Sports Networks top 25 for 163 consecutive weeks. UM was ranked 57th in the nation in the final Jeff Sagarin Rankings (which includes FCS and FBS teams).

2010 Grizzly Football

To say Montana has been among college footballs elite this decade is an understatement. Go­ ing into the 2010 season the Grizzlies have won 119 games this past decade, which is the most by any FCS or Football Bowl Subdivision team. Montana has the highest winning percentage in the FCS at .838 (119-23), and has the third best overall percentage in the FCS and FBS, trailing just Boise State (.868, 112-17) and Texas (.852, 110-19). However, the Griz have just nine starters back in 2010 -- four on offense and five on defense (both the kicker and punter also return) from a 14-1 team that was a perfect 8-0 in the Big Sky. Montana was 14-0 until losing to the Wildcats in the 2009 FCS title game. Overall, UM returns 41 letterman —19 on defense, 19 on offense, and three kickers. Lost to graduation on offense are record-set­ ting wide receiver and returner Marc Mariani, as well as all-league offensive linemen Chris Dyk, Terran Hillesland, and Levi Horn. Also graduated are four-year lettermen and the starting tandem at tight end, Dan Beaudin and Steve Pfahler (who combined for 61 recep­ tions and 7 touchdowns last year). Also gone is wide receiver Tyler Palmer, who was third on the team with 37 catches and 4 TDs. UM must replace 63 percent of its receptions from last sea­ son. Mariani, who was named to numerous AllAmerican teams, set a UM mark with 1,479 yards receiving, along with team-highs of 80 receptions and 13 touchdowns last season. “Ev­ ery single time Marc touched the football great things happened,” Pflugrad said. Hillesland and Horn were first team all­ league picks last season; Pfahler was a second teamer, and all of the other starters on offense received a minimum of honorable mention sta­ tus. Montana had one of the top-ranked offenses in the FCS in 2009. They were ranked second in scoring (35.8 ppg), ninth in total offense (427.4 ypg), and 14th in passing (267.2 ypg). “We have some big holes to fill on offense, that’s for sure,” said Pflugrad. “We lost three all­ league linemen and need to look long and hard for replacements there. We need some other guys to step up for us as well. We have a cou­ ple young players coming in who could help us there. We also lost both our tight ends which are a key component to any O-line.” The defense must replace end Jace Palmer, tackle Austin Mullins, linebackers Brandon Fisher and Shawn Lebsock, cornerbacks Keith Thompson and Andrew Swink, and free safety Shann Schillinger. Lebsock, who had a team-high 104 tackles last season, and Schillinger, who was third with 90 stops, were both first team all-league picks. Lebsock finished ninth in school history with

S e n io r Q u arterback A n drew S e lle (M ike B ash or ph oto)

294 career tackles, while Schillinger is 20th with 257. Fisher, Mullins, and Palmer were second team all-league choices, and Swink was named honorable mention. The Grizzlies must replace almost half of their total tackles from the 2009 season. Mariani and Schillinger were NFL draft se­ lections, signed and chosen by the Tennessee Titans and the Atlanta Falcons, respectively. The Grizzly defense was an opportunistic and stingy one, and ranked seventh in the nation in turnover margin at +1.20, picking off 26 passes and recovering 11 fumbles, and 22nd in scoring defense, allowing 19.0 points a game. Despite the graduation of 15 players who re­ ceived at least honorable mention all-league rec­ ognition in 2009, the Grizzlies return a handful of talented, experienced players. On offense it all begins with senior running back Chase Reynolds and senior quarterback Andrew Selle, UMs tandem Walter Payton Award candidates. 20

Reynolds rushed for 1,502 yards and tied the school record that he set in 2008 with 22 rushing touchdowns. He was also second on the team with 38 receptions. Reynolds was ranked 11th in the FCS averaging 101.1 rush yards a game. He was 12th in the balloting for the 2009 Payton Award. Selle was ranked fourth in the country in passing efficiency, throwing for 3,043 yards and 28 touchdowns, with only six interceptions, and completed 62.9 percent of his attempts. “Andrew Selle had an outstanding season and was a very accurate passer, especially down the stretch,” Pflugrad said. “He had some receiv­ ers and tight ends who helped that accuracy and made some big-time catches, and those are things we need to replace. Andrew is such a great leader, has tremendous skills, and has command of the huddle.” Veteran senior and all-league center Alex Verlanic will provide leadership. While junior Jon Opperud is UMs other returning starter, and was moved from guard to tackle last spring. Opperud has been unable to practice this fall, and his playing status this season is unknown. “We know that we have a lot of big holes to fill, not only from a personnel standpoint, but from a leadership standpoint as well,” Pflugrad said. “It starts with the offensive line, then we lose two outstanding tight ends, and you just cannot replace a player like Marc Mariani, pe­ riod.”

Two key players back on offense are parttime starters at wide receiver, Jabin Sambrano, a junior, and Sam Gratton, a sophomore. Sambra­ no had 31 catches for 5 touchdowns, and scored four of his TDs in the playoffs, while Gratton had 28 grabs and a pair of scores. Senior All-American candidate Erik Stoll is an anchor from his strong safety position, and was second on the team a year ago with 98 tack­ les in 15 starts. Junior cornerback Trumaine Johnson begins the year as a Buck Buchanan Award candidate and was a first team All-Big Sky pick in 2009. He has had nine career picks the past two seasons. Johnson saw limited time at wide receiver this past spring and may also see action on special teams. Senior tackle Tyler Hobbs and junior line­ backer Alex Shaw each started all 15 games last season. Senior end Severin Campbell (15 starts) missed spring drills due to surgery, and he may not be able to play early in the season. Last year Shaw was Montanas fourth leading tackier (79), while Campbell was sixth (60), and Johnson was eighth (54). “It is pretty much the same scenario on de­ fense,” Pflugrad said. “We lost a lot of talent and leadership on that side of the football. Jace was one of our all-time sacks guys; Austin Mullins had an outstanding year; Bran­ don and Shawn were two of our main leaders; I think Keith Thompson was one of the best players on our defense; and Shann was an extraordinary player and leader.” “Our number one concern (on defense) is size,” Pflugrad said. “Were concerned about the size of our D-line, although last year we did a nice job rotating players there and keeping them fresh. Were still looking for a couple of players to help us at that position.” A plus for the Grizzlies is the return of both placekicker Bro­ dy McKnight and punter Sean Wren, both honorable mention all-league picks last year and both juniors. McKnight made 15-of-25 field goals with a long of 54, and hit the game-winner in a 12-10 victory at Idaho State. Wren averaged 41.2 yards a punt and 17 of his 58 attempts were inside the opponents 20-yard line. It will be impossible to re­ place Mariani as a punt returner, as he was among the national

M il

leaders the past three seasons, and was ranked fifth in the FCS last season at 15.84 yards a re­ turn. Kickoff returners Sambrano and sophomore running back Peter Nguyen are both back, and averaged 24.8 and 23.7 yards per kickoff return a year ago.

THE OFFENSE QUARTERBACK: Selle and fellow senior Justin Roper went head-to-head for the starting berth last season. That is not the case this year, but Roper won both his starts (at UC Davis and ver­ sus Portland State) last season, and passed for 951 yards and 8 touchdowns in 12 games. “I was around Justin at Oregon (Pflugrad was an assistant coach at UO from 2006-08 and was the wide receiver coach at Montana last season) when he won a bowl game for us,” he said. “He was a starter for a awhile but unfortunately suf­ fered an injury, and was slowed down. He had an outstanding spring for the most part, he just needs to become more consistent. I am not afraid to play him, and I will play him.” Also back is sophomore Gerald Kemp, who rushed for 67 yards last season and was moved to running back this fall. “We are excited to see what Gerald can do,” Pflugrad said. “I’ve never seen him healthy in

2 OlOMSeason'Outlook my time here. I recently watched his high school highlight tape, and he is a very gifted athlete.” Senior wide receiver Jeff Larson played quar­ terback his first three seasons at UM, and could be pressed into duty if necessary. Also in the wings is redshirt freshman D.J. Zapata. RUNNING BACK: Reynolds has been one of the premier backs in the FCS the past two years, rushing for more than 3,000 yards and 44 touch­ downs. Nguyen will hopefully fill the shoes of un­ derrated Thomas Brooks-Fletcher as Reynolds back-up. “TBF” rushed for 464 yards and three scores last season as a senior. Nguyen gained 187 yards and scored once as a true freshman last year. “I think Pete Nguyen had an outstanding spring,” Pflugrad said. “We didn’t have Chase run the football a whole bunch during spring ball, and did a little more with him as a receiver. We already know how talented he is running with the football. Dan Moore also showed some positive signs this spring, and played with more consistency.

Juniors Moore and Beau Donaldson, both powerful running backs weighing around 230 pounds each, will also contribute and share time at fullback, although Donaldson has been slowed this fall with an injury. OFFENSIVE LINE: Some questions remain here as the Griz began fall drills, but two starters return, along with some key lettermen, two ju­ nior college transfers, and some talented fresh­ men. “We’ve talked long and hard on the offensive line,” Pflugrad said. “We are relying on two very strong coaches in Bob Beers and Scott Gragg to get that area solidified,” Pflugrad said; “and try to do some things with a limited amount of numbers and being a little unsure of our talent level. That’s obviously been a target for us in the recruiting process, and will be a target again in this year’s recruiting class.” Verlanic was a second team All-Big Sky selec­ tion at center, while Opperud was a honorable mention pick at guard and will now start at left tackle, although he’s been slowed by injury. At the right guard spot, senior Russell Piette ended spring drills as the starter, while at left guard JC transfer (Scottsdale CC) Stephen Sabin should get the nod. Junior and two-year letterman Charles Burton will start at right tackle. Sabin is also Verlanic’s back-up at center. Adding depth at guard is junior col­ lege transfer (Scottsdale CC) Jake Hen­ drickson. Vying for “PT” at tackle are sophomore letterman Blake Lebeau and redshirt freshman Kyle Hoffman, along with promising frosh Danny Kistler, Jr., who came to UM in the winter semester, but was unable to play last spring due to injury. WIDE RECEIVER: Sambrano and Grat­ ton are the only veterans at this position, along with Larson. Sophomore Bryce Carver was primarily used on special teams last year, but had a solid spring at receiver. Fellow sophomore Levi Buck­ les looks like he can contribute as well, as could redshirt freshman Aaron Roberts. “We don’t have the guys who have played a great number of reps or made big plays for us,” Pflugrad said. “We are young, and the one thing we need to es­ tablish is depth. Jeff Larson is back; he’s a good athlete; he’s a very good player on special teams; and we need him to pro­ duce at whatever position he is playing. The neat thing about him is he’s willing to play anywhere.” True freshman and 6-foot-5 Mitch Saylor could be in the mix right away, along with a pair of transfers.

TIGHT END: Sophomore Greg Hardy ended spring drills as the starter. Senior Rob Overton and sophomore Jacob Haas will see time too. “Hardy had an outstanding spring, and Rob was solid but needs consistency,” Pflugrad said. “How we use the tight ends will be geared on how productive they are and how well they are playing. Again, Greg had an outstanding spring and I am looking forward to seeing how much he can improve during two-a-days.” FULLBACK: Moore and Donaldson should make this position solid, depending on Donald­ sons health. “In the two-back schemes that we ran last year I thought it was smart what we did with our personnel, and I’d like to mirror that some­ what this season,” Pflugrad said. “We lost a very good one in fullback Kevin Klaboe, and it really comes down to Dan Moore and Beau Donald­ son, being our two bigger backs who can play that position, and/or using the tight end there. I like having that in our package.”

THE DEFENSE DEFENSIVE LINE: An All-American candidate this season, Hobbs (15 starts) had a team-high (tie) three forced fumbles, was third on the team with six stops for loss, and is UMs sixth-leading returning tackier (39 total tackle/TT). 22


2010ISeasoriT0utlook “Fetherston is a great person and a fun player to have on the team,” Pflu­ grad said. “He needs to understand that this has got to be his year. Severin might miss the first game or two, but he is a guy who can really put pressure on the quarterback and cause some havoc in the backfield, and we need him in our line-up. The rest of the guys we will look at and see how many reps they can get in a game and show us that they can be productive players.”

Junior tackle Bryan Waldhauser has gone from walk-on to honors candidate and is the Grizzlies’ fifth-leading returning tackier (45 TT), despite not starting a year ago. “Waldhauser had an excellent spring as far as his ability to finish plays, and he plays with great energy,” Pflugrad said. “He made it hard on our offensive line this past spring just by effort alone. Hobbs is very consistent, and we really like the leadership that he brings to us.” Senior Carson Bender and junior Braydon Schilling were the only returnees back at tackle with any experience, and Bender will be unable to play this season. With Campbell on the “IR”, two-year letter­ man Ryan Fetherston, a junior, emerged as the starter at one defensive end spot, while sopho­ more Josh Harris earned that role on the other side, but Harris is now out for the season due to an injury in 2010 fall camp. Junior Bobby Alt may get a starting nod. Campbell, who had a team-high 10.5 tackles for loss last season and is the team’s third-lead­ ing returning tackier (60 TT), may also miss the first couple of games due to off-season surgery. Depth at end should be provided by redshirt freshman Ethan Pateman, while Clay Pierson, also a redshirt frosh, has been unable to play be­ cause of an injury. 2010 Grizzly Football

LINEBACKERS: Shaw and Caleb McSurdy, who both played as true fresh­ men two seasons ago, are now the “vet­ erans” at this position, and are projected to start at the “will” and “mike” line­ backer spots. Shaw is the team’s second leading returning tackier (79 TT), while McSurdy is tied for seventh (32 TT) de­ spite no starts last season. UM’s other honors candidate along with Shaw, and the third projected starter, is sophomore Jordan Tripp. Tripp was a big-play guy on special teams a year ago as a true frosh; saw action at “sam” linebacker; and is the Grizzlies’ 11th leading returning tack­ ier (23 TT). Sophomore Brock Coyle is UM’s 10th leading tackier (30 TT), but will redshirt in 2010 due to off-season surgery. “Alex has been a steady force for us, and I liked the way Caleb McSurdy played in the mid­ dle this spring,” Pflugrad said. “Jordan Tripp had a great special teams effort for us last fall and now, as he just needs more reps and game experience, and he will improve game-by-game. I am also ex­ cited about a couple of the young guys we have coming in.” Sophomore Josh Stuberg adds quality depth. Stuberg is tied with McSurdy as the team’s sev­ enth leading returning tackier (32 TT). Redshirt freshman Ty Timmer is also vying for playing time. A pair of talented preps could see action right away.

“Dodson had a great spring, and I just love his energy and how he attacks the game of foot­ ball,” Pflugrad said. “Trumaine is multi-talented and multi-gifted. If he really wants to get better - and I know that he can - it’s on him.” Redshirt freshmen Sean Murray and Josh Pelczar are also competing for playing time, and UM added three players at this position prior to fall drills. SAFETY: Stoll fits the mold of a long line of out­ standing safeties at Montana. Junior Mike Mc­ Cord, who was moved from corner to safety last season, emerged as the starter at free safety after spring drills. “Erik Stoll is going to be a marquee player for us,” Pflugrad said. “Hes one of those Montana safeties who could possibly get an opportunity to potentially make some money at the game at the next level. Hes a great leader; a great physi­ cal player; and he runs well enough to be able to cover slots, or backs out of the backfield, or tight ends. McCord had a nice spring and even though he was injured, he hung in there and did not miss a day, and I appreciated his effort. “Bo Tully out of Spokane (Mead HS) is a very smart player,” Pflugrad said. “Coaches’ sons often have a high football IQ, and he is one of

CORNERBACK: Johnson is one of the most talented corners to ever play for the Grizzlies. He had a team-high five interceptions a year ago and was the team’s eighth-leading tackier last season with 54 stops, and missed four games with an injury. Senior Brandon Dodson saw considerable action a year ago after coming to Montana from the JC ranks and ended spring drills the other starter. Two-year junior letterman Donny Lisowski is a solid back-up. Senior Jimmy Wilson returns after a threeyear hiatus and should be in the mix for playing time, if not a starting role.

2010lSeason 'Outlook them. Hes a very good athlete, and were going to look to put him right into the fire early” Redshirt freshman Steven Rominger is also in the mix. SPECIAL TEAMS: Of McKnight’s 10 misses, two were blocked and four were attempts from 50 or more yards out. He was 12-of-13 from 2039-yard range. Wren had punts of 50 or more yards in nine different games and had three 60-yarders, including a career-long 65-yarder at Montana State. Sophomore redshirt kicker Rus­ sell Schey was l-of-3 in field goal attempts as a true freshman in 2008. “McKnight I really feel is becoming a leader, and our players are really starting to respect him,” Pflugrad said. “That is hard to do as a kick­ er. Its just the nature of the game and the nature of the position. Sean had a nice spring. Russell is kind of backing up a little at kicker and punter. “Jabin and Peter will be our return guys going into fall camp, and they need to become more consistent in certain areas of that part of the game,” he said. “Both players have the potential to be good. We lost the best punt returner (Mariani) in the country the past two years.”

Montana will be tested early in the season, with game two at always tough Cal Poly on Sept. 11, and then it has its Big Sky opener a week lat­ er on the 18th playing Eastern Washington on its new red, artificial playing surface. The season and home opener on Sept. 4th is against Western State (Colo.), a team that UM beat 38-0 in its inaugural game a year ago. A six-game home schedule also includes league games against Sacramento State, Idaho State, Northern Arizona, and Mon­ tana State, and a non-leaguer against North Dakota the week before the 110th Griz-Cat contest (Nov. 20). After the EWU game, Montana has con­ ference road games at Northern Colorado, Portland State (in Hillsboro), and Weber State. “My focus is really on the first game, because there’s just a ton of new faces, and how well we play Western State of Colorado is my main concern right now,” Pflugrad said. “The next two games are sitting there lurking, and I know how well-prepared that those two opponents will be for us.” “It is kind of what it is to be a Griz,” he continued. “You are going to get the best shot from everybody. That’s a compliment to our players and our tradition. The ma­ jority of our players have not been in that situation, and that’s what we talked about in meeting number one back in January. We said, you guys have been great spectators and now it’s time to be great participants’. ”

Walter Patton Award Candidate Andrew Selle Senior Q uarterback 6 -2 ,2 1 9 ,3V Billings, M ontana Billings West H igh School

M o n ta n a : Andrew begins his senior campaign ranked 11th in school history with 3,532 career passing yards and also 11th in career touchdown throws with 33. He is 12-1 as a starter (he did not start at UC Davis or against Portland State in 2009). All 13 of his starts occurred last season for the Grizzlies, who finished 14-1 and were ranked second in the nation in the final FCS polls. 2009: Andrew had an exceptional junior season and was one of the top-rated quarterbacks in the Football Championship Subdivision. He was ranked fourth in the nation and led the Big Sky Conference in passing efficiency (157,31), throwing for 3,043 yards and 28 touchdowns, with just six interceptions. He played in all 15 games and did not throw an interception in 10 of them. He threw for 300 or more yards in four games, including a careerhigh 351 in Montanas 23-21 loss to Villanova in the FCS championship game. He threw for three or more touchdowns in seven games and had at least one touchdown pass in 13 contests. His 28 touchdown passes rank him seventh (tied with Cole Bergquist, 28, 2008) in school history. His 3,043 passing yards last year are the 12th most ever in a season at UM. He was named the Big Sky’s “Offensive Player of the Week” on Sept. 26th and Nov. 23rd. He was named to the Big Sky’s academic all-confer­ ence team. 2008: He played in seven games. He got a chance to show what he can do when he replaced injured starter Bergquist and passed for 203 yards and a career-best four touchdowns in a 46-10 victory over Southern Utah. Montana tied a school record with six touchdown passes in the win over the Thunderbirds. 2007: He played in six games and passed for 175 yards and a touch­ down. 2006: He was a redshirt at Montana. H igh S c h o o l: Selle was a first team all-state selection in 2005. He was the co-MVP of Class “AA” as a senior when he led Billings West High School to their first-ever unbeaten season (13-0) and a state championship in 2005, throwing two touchdown passes in a 21-17 victory over Helena Capital in the title game. He amassed 5,803 yards in total offense, passed for 5,434 yards, and threw 51 touchdown passes in his prep career (John Edwards, UM’s start­ ing quarterback in 2001 when UM won the FCS championship, is Wests all-time total offense leader with 6,464 yards). Andrew completed 163-of275-9 (59.2%) passes for 25 touchdowns his senior year.

Quoting Coach Pflugrad: “What I saw with Andrew was just the ability to get better every week. In the Idaho State game he probably didnt play a super game, but the fourth quarter of that game - I wouldnt trade him for anybody in that fourth quarter. When he had to make big plays, he made huge plays. “He is another great leaderfor us, on and off thefootball field. He was at Hellgate (High School) doing a lot student-teaching, and we actually missed him being on campus; because he is such a great ambassador not onlyfor our football program, butfor the entire university. He cares about his teammates. Hes become a coach on the field, which is very, very important. He is also part of our leadership council and has done a great job in that area.”

Buck Buchanan Award Candidate Johnson Junior Cornerback 6 -3 ,1 9 7 ,2V Stockton, California Edison High School

Quoting Coach Pflugrad: “He really is a talented athlete. The one thing that ‘Tru really needs to work on is just his consistency in practic­ es, which obviously leads to the games. I don't think ‘Tru” was challenged enough this spring as a defensive back. It gets to the point that sometimes things are just too easy for him, and that's not good. We have to do a better job coaching him and make it tougher on him. “We cannot let him have any lapses in the physical or mental part of his game. If he doesn't have any lapses he will be as good of a player who has ever been here. And that's on him. That is totally up to ‘Tru.' “Playing him offensively, there is no question we will do that. How much he can handle, physically and mentally, we are still sifting through that pro­ cess. He can do some things with the football that not a lot of players in the Big Sky Conference can do. He has not played on special teams here at Mon­ tana, and he needs to. He could become a great special teams player. If you wrap all that up that's a pretty impressive player.”

M o n ta n a : Trumaine is a major talent, and this season may be used on offense and on special teams to better utilize his skills. He begins his junior year ranked tied for 17th in school history with nine career inter­ ceptions. 2009: He had team-highs of five interceptions and 12 pass deflections in 11 games (he missed four contests due to injury). He would be ranked first (tie) in the league in pass deflections (1.09 pg) and second in inter­ ceptions (0.45 pg), but because he did not play in the NCAA-required 75 percent (he played in 11 of 15, or 73.3%) of UM’s games, he did not qualify for the national rankings. “Tru” was fourth on the team with 31 solo tackles a year ago. He is the teams fourth leading returning tackier in 2010 with 54 stops last season. , I He was a first team All-Big Sky Conference selection. He was named the Sports Networks co-National Player of the Week on defense on Sept? 12th because of his outstanding play (six tackles and two interceptions) in a 17-10 victory at UC Davis. He was also named the Big Skys “POW” on defense that week. 2008: He was a rare starter as a “true” freshman, which is especially unique at the cornerback position. He started in Montanas first 11 games and was a Big Sky honorable mention selection. Johnson tied for the team lead with four interceptions and tied for sixth in the Big Sky with .36 picks a game.

Quoting Coach Pflugrad: “As I watched our highlight tape from last season, Alex shows up quite a few times with some huge hits and great plays. “I think the number one thing Alex needs to work on is the consistency of his open-field tackling, as does every defensive player. Some days this past spring he was very good, and other days he was not. Now-a-days, with all of the spread offenses and people in space, that’s how you win games on defense, open-field tackling. If he can do that, and then add in the intangibles like his leadership abilities, I don’t think there is a limit on how good of a player he can be.”

MISSOULA, MONTANA - The Grizzlies got off to a slow start, but turned on the after­ burners in the second half to register a 38-0 opening-season victory over the visiting Moun­ taineers in front of a Washington-Grizzly Sta­ dium record crowd of 25,698. The Griz defense was a key in the victory, holding the Mountaineers to 116 total yards and six first downs. Montana is now 33-14 in season openers since it became an inaugural member of the the Big Sky Conference in 1963. “It’s good to be 1-0,” said seventh-year UM head coach Bobby Hauck, who improved his overall record to 67-16 and 6-1 in season open­ ers. “We took care of business. We didn’t change anything at halftime, we just played a lot better in the second half.” The third-ranked Grizzlies dominated the Mountaineers statistically in the first half, out-

gaining them in total yards (233 to 54) and first downs (11-3), but led just 10-0. Sophomore Bro­ dy McKnight s 31-yard field goal and a 5-yard run by junior halfback Chase Reynolds, a 2009 Walter Payton Award candidate, accounted for UM s first-half scoring. Montana came on strong in the third quar­ ter, as tight end Steve Pfahler was on the receiv­ ing end of two touchdown throws, the first a 7-yarder from Andrew Selle, and the second a 10-yarder from Justin Roper. Pfahler s second scoring grab gave the Griz a 24-0 lead with 44 seconds left in the third stanza. The Griz scored two unanswered touch­ downs in the final quarter. After redshirt fresh­ man wide receiver Sam Gratton blocked a WSC punt, the Griz took over on the Mountaineers’ 13-yard line, and eventually scored on a 9-yard run by “true” freshman halfback Pete Nguyen.

The final UM score came on a 1-yard run by halfback Dan Moore with 1:19 left. Selle and Roper, both juniors, split playing time. Selle was 6-of-15-l passing for 112 yards and a touchdown, while Roper was 16-of-24-0 for a 149 yards and one score. “I think our offense started to get more effi­ cient in the second half,” said Roper. “I think we both (Selle and him) started to feel more confi­ dent and started to play with more consistency.” Reynolds rushed 18 times for 100 yards, the ninth time in his career he has hit the century mark. Nguyen had seven totes for 31 yards. Reynolds now has 23 career rushing touch­ downs, which ranks him fourth in school his­ tory. He was tied with Justin Green (2003-04) and Jody Farmer (1986-89), who rushed for 22 TDs each in their careers. With his 100 yards rushing today, Reynolds now had 1,683 in his career, which moves him up to 10th past former Griz great Dick Imer, who gained 1,592 yards in 1953-54. Senior wide receiver Tyler Palmer had a career-high six receptions for a game-high 87 yards. Sophomore wide receiver Jabin Sambrano had career-bests of five receptions for 63. yards. Senior tight end Dan Beaudin had three catches, while Reynolds and Pfahler each had two grabs. Senior linebacker Shawn Lebsock led the Grizzlies with seven tackles, and he also had a sack. Junior free safety Erik Stoll added five tackles, while sophomore safety Mike McCord added four stops. Sophomore end Ryan Fether­ ston had two tackles for loss. McKnight was just short on a 52-yard field goal try, and also had a 52-yard attempt blocked.

DAVIS, CALIF. - The University of Mon­ tana Grizzlies survived another slow start, two record-setting UC Davis Aggie individual per­ formances, and a light failure to notch a comefrom-behind 17-10 road win. The game was in question with less than a minute to go. UC Davis was knocking on the door, sitting at the Montana 12-yard line down 17-10 when things went crazy in Davis, Calif. The stadium lights failed with 57 seconds left to play, causing a lengthy delay on a 4th-and-7 from the 12-yard line. Following the delay, Griz cornerback Trumaine Johnson out-jumped Chris Carter in the end zone to snag the gamesecuring interception, allowing Montana to run out the clock. Montana went with a quarterback rotation for the second game in a row. Justin Roper start­ ed the game, going 9-for-19 for 143 yards and a touchdown, and Andrew Selle threw for 83 yards on 7-of-10 passing. Running back Chase Reynolds had a game-high 90 yards on 25 car-

Montana didn’t pick up a first down until 13:48 when Roper hit Reynolds for a 12-yard strike. The success was short-lived, and the Griz again traded punts with the Aggies. Following another Grizzly defensive stop, another prom­ ising UM drive was cut short when linebacker Mike Healey stripped Marc Mariani after a re­ ception, and UCD recovered and returned the fumble 39 yards to the UM 44. Davis couldn’t capitalize, and the half ended with the Aggies leading 3-0. UM’s Jabin Sambrano returned the opening kick of the second half 35 yards to give UM great field position at near midfield, but a botched snap led to a turnover, giving the Aggies the ball at the UM 45. UCD took advantage, putting to­ gether a 13-play scoring drive, capped by a Den­ ham 1-yard play-action pass to tight end Brad Bispo, giving the Aggies a 10-0 lead. Montana got on the board the following pos­ session, as Roper threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Sam Gratton in the corner of the end zone to make it 10-7 Aggies.

Montana turned it on in the fourth quarter. After Austin Mullins broke up a screen pass on third down to force the Aggies into a 38-yard field goal attempt that Kelley pushed wide right. Following the missed field goal by UCD, Mon­ tana strung together a 5-play scoring drive, highlighted by a Roper to Dan Beaudin 61 yard catch-and-run to the Davis 3. Reynolds threw a key block on that play and also got the touch­ down on the next snap, a 3-yard run to the left, giving Montana its first lead, 14-10. Davis turned the ball over on its next posses­ sion when a high shotgun snap was recovered by UM’s Severin Campbell at the Aggie 20-yard line. Montana moved the ball after that and had a first-and-goal from the 5-yard line, but the Da­ vis defense stiffened, and the Griz had to settle for a 23-yard field goal by Brody McKnight. The 17-10 lead with 8:34 to go would be all Montana would need. Montana burned 3:30 off the clock on its next possession, giving UC Davis 67 yards to go in 2:31. A Denham pass to Carter for 42 yards picked up a large chunk of that, but the Aggies would only get to the UM 12 be­ fore the agonizing lighting delay, which lasted around 15 minutes. Reynolds 90 yards rushing give him 1,773 in his career, moving him up to eighth on the career list. Reynolds now had 24 career touch­ down runs, tying him with Tony Rice (1989-92) for the third most in school history. Marc Mariani had a team-high 5 catches for 66 yards, while Tyler Palmer and Reynolds had 3 catches each, and tight end Dan Beaudin had 2 grabs for 72 yards, including a key career-long 61-yarder. Safety Erik Stoll led UM with 10 tackles, while linebacker Brandon Fisher and cornerback Keith Thompson each had 8 stops. Johnson also had six tackles, including one for a loss, and he now has six career interceptions in 12 games. UC Davis quarterback Greg Denham and Carter both set school records against Montana. Carter’s 18 receptions and Denham’s 43 comple­ tions were both single-game bests. Carter fin­ ished with 190 receiving yards, and Denham threw 64% (43-67) for 362 yards and a touch­ down, as well as two interceptions.

a 38-yard pass from Drew Hubei to Lavonte Kir­ ven. PSU had scored the opening touchdown of the game on a three-yard run by Ben Bowen with 9:00 left in the first quarter. Montana came right back, though, as Justin Roper connected with Marc Mariani for a 56yard scoring pass to cut the Viking lead to 14-7 with 1:57 left in the first stanza. The Grizzlies tied it 14-all when the PSU deep snapper hiked the ball over PSU punters head and it sailed all the way back to the goal-line, and Montana linebacker Jordan Tripp, a “true” fresh­ man, jumped on the ball for a touchdown at the 12:58 mark in the second quarter. Exactly five minutes later the Grizzlies scored on a four-play, 65-yard drive that took just a tick

over 1:31, as sophomore Beau Donaldson plowed over the goal-line for a 1-yard touchdown, the first of his career, that coming with 7:58 left un­ til halftime. The play that led to Donaldsons TD was a 38-yard completion from Selle to Jabin Sambrano, who was tripped up at the PSU oneyard line. Montana gambled a bit and went ahead by two scores when they went for it on a fourth-andthree from the PSU 14-yard line, as Andrew Selle tossed a 14-yard touchdown strike to tight end Steven Pfahler, who now has three TD catches this season. Pfahers scoring grab made it 28-14 UM, with 2:41 left until intermission. PSU scored its final points in the closing min­ ute (0:58) of the second quarter on a 20-yard field goal by Zach Brown, making the score 28-17 at the half. Montana dominated the second half, as the Grizzly offense used a solid running game (28 rushes for 157 yards and a score) and mixed that in with a good passing game (214 yards and two touchdowns), outscoring the Vikings 21-0, and added a superb effort by the “D,” which shut out PSU and held the Vikings to 160 total yards and seven first downs. UM s Chase Reynolds scored the only touch­ down in the third quarter on a 4-yard run. Mon­ tana had started the drive that led to Reynolds’ scoring run on the PSU 29-yard line thanks to junior safety Erik Stoll, who picked off Hubei for the first interception of his career. The Grizzlies scored twice in the final quarter, first on a 45-yard pass from Selle to Mariani, and the final score came on a 6-yard pass from Selle to Donaldson. Selle completed 14-of-23 passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns. Roper, who suffered ajarring late hit on a broken play, but returned to the huddle after that hit, threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to Mariani on the next play, but he did not return to action after that series. “True” freshman Peter Nguyen rushed only five times, but picked up a game-high 71 yards. Quarterback Gerald Kemp, a redshirt freshman, also sparked the team with his ball-carrying, gaining 61 yards on 11 carries. Selle rushed three times for 41 yards. Reynolds had 12 carries for a hard-earned 28 yards. Nguyen had three punt returns for 48 yards, two kickoff returns for 43 yards, 71 rushing yards, and a catch for 10 yards for 172 all-purpose yards. Linebacker Shawn Lebsock led Montana with 8 tackles, including one for a loss, while safety Shann Schiliinger had 7 tackles and a pass break­ up, and tackle Austin Mullins had 6 stops and also blocked a field goal. Defensive end Bobby Alt and linebacker Brock Coyle each had interceptions. 68

FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA - The Grizzlies sur­ vived a shootout in Flagstaff, defeating the North­ ern Arizona Lumberjacks 41-34 in overtime in the Walkup Skydome. It was a milestone victory for seventh-year Montana mentor Bobby Hauck, as he picked up his 70th career win. Montana held a 27-14 lead until the waning moments of the third quarter when NAU came back, starting with a 21-yard touchdown pass from Michael Herrick to Curt Sweeney. NAU added a Matt Myers 37-yard field goal and another Herrick to Sweeney 41-yard TD strike, scoring 17 unan­ swered points, putting the Lumberjacks up 31-27 with 3:52 remaining. The Griz answered though, as a Jabin Sam­ brano kickoff return of 50 yards gave UM the ball at midfield. The drive sputtered with a false start 2010 Grizzly Football

sandwiched between a pair of short completions, but facing 3rd-and-5, wide receiver Sam Gratton reeled in a pass from Andrew Selle and took it 45 yards for the go-ahead touchdown, putting Mon­ tana up 34-31 with 2:37 to go. NAU started its final possession at its 24, and put together an 11-play drive to set up a 47-yard field goal attempt by Myers, a transfer from Wash­ ington State, and his three-pointer tied the game 34-all with just two seconds left. Ty Palmer took a Selle screen pass 25 yards for a TD on the first play of overtime to put Montana ahead 41-34. On the next play Herrick connected with half­ back Alex Henderson on a play-action pass for 22 yards to the Montana 3, but Griz free safety Shann Schiliinger slammed the door on the next play, intercepting a Herrick pass which was tipped by

cornerback Trumaine Johnson in the end zone to secure the win for the Griz. The interception was the game s only turnover. UM threw for 349 yards and NAU for 458. The Griz ran for just 74 yards, while the Jacks had only 49. UM was outgained 507-423 in total offense, but had a 12-minute edge in time of possession. The Griz had three receivers catch six balls each: Palmer went for 87 yards and his first touch­ down of the season, Gratton had 77 yards and a TD, and Mariani tallied 70 yards and a score. Selle completed 29-38 passes for 349 yards and three touchdowns, while Herrick went 36-of-49-l for 440 yards and four TDs. UMs Chase Reynolds led the way on the ground with two touchdowns on 23 carries for 73 yards. The Griz started the scoring on a Reynolds 3-yard run, capping a 91-yard drive, spanning 15 plays and eating up nearly six minutes of game clock. After that lengthy Griz drive, NAU put together a quick strike, a two-play drive covering 78 yards in just 30 seconds, Herrick throwing a 46-yard TD strike to Sweeney. Following the NAU touchdown, Peter Nguy­ en returned the kickoff 61 yards to the NAU 37. Reynolds capped a 37-yard drive with a 6-yard touchdown run to put Montana up 14-7 to start the second quarter. With his rush yards and two TDs, Reynolds moved up to sixth in career rushing yards (1,874) and 13th in career scoring (168 points). Mariani turned a short pass from Selle into a 13-yard TD reception, capping a seven-play, 77yard drive to push the UM lead to 21-7 with 6:21 to go in the half. The TD was Mariani s 19th of his career, moving him into a tie with former Griz Matt Wells for ninth on the teams all time list. The Jacks drew within a touchdown in the sec­ ond quarter, taking the ball 80 yards in 11 plays, and Hendersons 25-yard reception on a screen pass from Herrick made the score 21-14, UM. Montana took possession with 1:34 left until halftime, and it looked like the score would be 2114 at intermission, but Selle strung together five completions on six plays to get the ball into field goal range with two seconds on the clock. Brody McKnight’s field goal attempt from 54 yards out was good, giving McKnight his career-long and the Griz a 10-point (24-14) halftime edge. McKnight added a 21-yard field goal at the 6:55 mark of the third quarter, pushing the Griz lead to 13 (27-14), but NAU stormed back, setting up the late-game drama and come-from-behind overtime victory for the fourth-ranked Grizzlies.

It was the third largest crowd ever in 172 games at Washing­ ton-Grizzly Stadium. Cal Poly (2-3) took a 17-14 lead at half, con­ trolled the game with their option attack, and also shut down Montanas (5-0) offense in the opening 30 minutes. The Mustangs of the Great West Conference jumped to a 10-0 lead with 11:19 to go until in­ termission on a 32-yard field goal by kicker Chris 2010 Grizzly Football

Pinto. Cal Poly took a 7-0 first-quarter lead on a methodical, 83-yard 10-play drive, with quarter­ back Tony Smith scoring on a 1-yard run. The Grizzlies got their initial first down of the game in grand fashion, as wide receiver Marc Mariani hauled in a short pass and then out-raced the Mustangs’ defense for an 84-yard touchdown reception on a pass from quarterback Justin Roper. Mariani’s grab, which tied him for the sixth longest in school history, cut the Cal Poly lead to 10-7 with 8:15 remaining until halftime. The Mustangs got great field position when Ryan Taylor recovered a fumbled punt return by Mariani, giving the Mustangs the ball on the UM 20-yard line. Six plays later Cal Poly fullback Jor­ dan Yocum scored on a 1-yard plunge, giving his

team a 17-7 lead with 1:08 left until half. But Montanas offense started to come to life, and just 48 seconds after Yocums score, Griz halfback Chase Reynolds took a screen pass from quarterback Andrew Selle for a 35-yard touch­ down, reducing the Cal Poly lead to 17-14 with 28 ticks left until the half. Neither team scored in the third quarter, but the Grizzlies scored back-to-back touchdowns in the final stanza and took a 28-17 lead when Mari­ ani hauled in a 68-yard pass from Selle with 9:03 left to play. Earlier in the final quarter, Reynolds gave Mon­ tana what proved to be the lead for good, when he scored on a 3-yard run with 14:28 remaining in the contest. Reynolds was a work-horse on that scor­ ing drive, rushing 10 times for 59 yards and three first downs. Cal Poly did not go away, though, as just 32 seconds after the Grizzlies had taken their 11point (28-17) lead, the Mutangs scored on a 59yard bomb from quarterback Harlan Prather to wide receiver Mike Anderson. Prather, who had replaced Smith who was injured early in the game, was errant on a two-point pass conversion, and Montana led 28-23 with 8:23 left to play. The Grizzlies then used up valuable time and got a much-needed insurance touchdown, as Reynolds hauled in a pass from Selle for an 8-yard touchdown with 3:24 left in the contest, capping off a nine-play 62-yard drive that took almost five minutes (4:54) off the clock. In the second half, UM out-gained Cal Poly 277 to 112 in total yards, had nine more first downs (14 to 5), and had the ball almost eight minutes (17:39 to 12:21) more in time of possession. Reynolds rushed 29 times for 109 yards and a touchdown, and also caught 2 passes, both for scores. Mariani had game-highs of 6 receptions for 200 yards and a pair of TDs. Selle was 9-of-17-0 for 155 yards and 3 touchdowns, while Roper com­ pleted 5-of-10 passes for 123 yards and a score, but was picked off twice. Griz DT Austin Mullins had a team-high 10 tackles, while linebackers Shawn Lebsock and Brandon Fisher and end Jace Palmer had 8 stops each. Yocum rushed for 119 yards on 24 carries and scored once, while Smith had 7 totes for 21 yards and a touchdown. Smith was 7-of-14-0 passing for 86 yards.

MISSOULA, MONTANA - The thirdranked and never-say-die University of Mon­ tana Grizzlies put together a scoring drive in the final few minutes to up-end the 21st ranked Ea­ gles in a Big Sky Conference match-up in front of a record crowd (25,751) at UM’s WashingtonGrizzly Stadium. The victory gave Montana its 24th winning season in a row, starting in 1986. Montanas final scoring drive was an 11play, 55-yarder that culminated when halfback Chase Reynolds scored on a 4th-and-goal from the 1-yard line, which gave the Grizzlies a 41-34 lead with 1:18 remaining in the game. After Reynolds had scored the go-ahead touchdown, EWU took over on its own 20-yard line and advanced the ball to its own 49-yard

line, but its drive stopped there, as quarterback Matt Nichols threw four straight incompletions. EWU had tied the game up at 34-all on a 1-yard scoring run by halfback Taiwan Jones with 4:58 remaining. After Jones’ game-tying run, Montanas Jabin Sambrano gave UM good field position, return­ ing the kickoff 26 yards to the Montana 45-yard line, setting the stage for the Grizzlies’ go-ahead scoring drive. The Grizzlies took their biggest lead on their second possession of the third quarter, as quar­ terback Andrew Selle connected with wide re­ ceiver Tyler Palmer in the left corner of the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown pass, which gave UM a 27-13 advantage with 6:09 to go in the third quarter.

EWU came right back, though, and scored twice, the first a 14-yard TD pass from Nichols to Ashton Gant, and the second a 50-yard scor­ ing strike from Nichols to Aaron Boyce. Boyce’s touchdown catch came with nine seconds left in the third quarter and tied the game at 27-27. Montana’s prolific receiver/returner Marc Mariani re-gained the lead for the Griz with 10:11 left in the contest, returning a punt 82 yards for a touchdown. It was Mariani’s third career score on a punt return. EWU marched down the field on its opening drive and took a 7-0 lead on a 13-yard scoring pass from Nichols to tight end Nathan Over­ bay. UM got on the scoreboard when a bad snap sailed over the EWU punter’s head and that safety made it 7-2, Eagles. Eastern Washington closed out the first-quarter scoring on a 39-yard field goal by Mike Jarrett, giving the Eagles a 10-2 lead at the 2:44 mark. The Griz scored the next 18 points, however, to take a 20-10 lead with 1:05 left until intermis­ sion. Montana’s scoring during that 11-minute surge started with a 27-yard field goal by McK­ night.

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA - Chase Reynolds and Thomas Brooks-Fletcher com­ bined for 245 rushing yards and four touch­ downs to lead the second-ranked Grizzlies (70/4-0) to a 45-30 win. On the opening drive for Montana, Andrew Selle found Marc Mariani over the middle for an 18-yard TD pass. The Grizzlies’ early 7-0 lead didn’t last long, though, as the Hornets (2-5/2-3) marched down the field, scoring a touchdown on a 3-yard run by halfback Terrance Dailey. With a 7-7 tie to start the second quarter, Sac State completed a 25-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jason Smith to receiver John Hen­ dershott, giving the Hornets a 14-7 lead at the 14:13 mark of the second quarter.

back possessions. The go-ahead touchdown was set up by a successful on-side kick which was re­ covered by redshirt freshman quarterback Ger­ ald Kemp on the Sac 49-yard line. The two touchdown runs by Reynolds were 2-and 1-yarders, the second giving the Griz a 21-14 lead with 2:06 left in the half, and Mon­ tana led the rest of the way. Reynolds scored his third touchdown of the game and 13th of the season after Marc Mari­ ani returned a Hornet’s punt 54 yards to the Sac 5-yard line. Reynolds’ third touchdown run of the afternoon came on the first play from scrim­ mage after Mariani’s punt return, and gave Mon­ tana a 28-14 advantage with 9:32 left in the third quarter.

Henderschott for a touchdown pass for the sec­ ond time in the game, cutting the Grizzly lead to 28-21. On its next drive, Montana took the ball down to the Sac 31-yard line and then success­ fully completed a fake field goal, as holder Jeff Larson ran for 14 yards to the Hornet 17 for a key first down. Two plays later Brooks-Fletcher scored on a 17-yard run, making it 35-21 UM with 1:07 left in the third stanza. The trick play kept Montana driving. Two plays later, Thomas Brooks-Fletcher ran for a 17-yard touchdown, giving the Grizzlies a 3521 lead. The score was Brooks-Fletcher’s first touchdown of the season. On Sac’s first drive of the fourth quarter, Griz safety Mike Cummings picked off a pass at the UM 24, and the Grizzlies then put together an 11-play, 56-yard drive that took almost five min­ utes (4:53), and Griz kicker Brody McKnight gave his team a three-score lead, connecting on a 38-yard field goal. McKnight’s three-pointer gave the Griz a 38-21 lead with 8:04 left to play. Sac State cut Montana’s lead to 38-28 on a 28-yard TD pass from Smith to Brett Willis with 5:06 remaining on the clock. Sophomore wide receiver Jabin Sambrano helped extend the Grizzlies lead with a 57-yard touchdown reception on a screen play, giving Montana a 45-28 advantage with 3:35 left. The Hornets scored the final points of the game with a safety, giving Sac State two points and the ball, and the Hornets still had hope, but linebacker Caleb McSurdy sealed the victory for Montana with an interception. Montana finished the game with 471 yards of total offense. Quarterback Andrew Selle started the game and was 9-of-15-0 for 109 yards and a touchdown. Justin Roper rotated at QB, going 9 -o f-ll-l for 127 yards and a score. Brooks-Fletcher had 22 carries for a careerhigh 133 yards - his fourth career 100-yard game.

MISSOULA, MONTANA - Running back Chase Reynolds rushed 33 times for a careerhigh 241 yards and a touchdown, and the de­ fense stymied one of the best offenses in the Football Championship Subdivision, as the host and second-ranked Grizzlies defeated the 14thranked Wildcats 31-10 in a pivotal Big Sky Con­ ference game. The Grizzlies set a Washington-Grizzly Sta­ dium attendance record for the fifth time in five home games this season, as 25,811 fans saw the Grizzlies stay unbeaten at 8-0 and improve to 5-0 in the conference. The Wildcats are 5-4 overall and 5-2 in the Big Sky. Montana set the tone early, going 75 yards on 10 plays in its first drive, with Andrew Selle throwing a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dan Beaudin, giving UM a 7-0 lead. The Grizzlies took a two-touchdown lead later in the opening quarter when UM defen-

sive end Jace Palmer intercepted a pass by WSU quarterback Cameron Higgins and raced 57 yards for his first-ever collegiate touchdown. The extra point snap was errant and Montana was unable to get the PAT attempt off, and led 13-0 with 2:05 left in the first quarter. The Wildcats, who entered the contest ranked fourth in the FCS in passing yards a game (307.0 ypg ) and eighth in total offense (440.8 ypg), scored just three first-half points, as Mike Snoy hit a 36-yard field goal at the 10:56 mark of the second quarter, and Montana led 13-3 at inter­ mission. Montana scored the only points in the third quarter on a six-play, 81-yard drive which cul­ minated with a 2-yard touchdown run by Reyn­ olds. It was all Chase Reynolds on that drive, as the junior from Drummond carried the ball four times for 58 yards.

Kicker Brody McKnight gave Montana a 20point cushion with 14:09 left on a 42-yard field goal, making it 23-3 Grizzlies. WSU scored its only TD of the game on a flea-flicker play, as halfback Bob Bolen took a hand-off, pitched the ball back to Higgins, and Higgins lofted a 59-yard scoring pass to Mike Phillips, cutting the UM lead to 23-10 with 11:15 to go. After a three-and-out by both teams, Mon­ tana put together another impressive scoring drive, going 79 yards on eight plays, as Selle hit halfback Thomas Brooks-Fletcher on a screen pass which resulted in a 14-yard touchdown and a 31-10 lead by the Griz with 4:52 remaining. Reynolds was the catalyst again on UM s final scoring drive, as he picked up 53 yards on five totes, although a Selle to Marc Mariani 17-yard hook-up, which gave the Grizzlies a first-and10 on the WSU 4-yard line, was also a key play. An illegal use of hands penalty by the Grizzlies moved the ball back to the Wildcat 14, but on the next play after the penalty, Selle hit BrooksFletcher, whose 14-yard touchdown was his first career receiving touchdown. The Grizzly defense limited the Wildcats to 299 total yards (26 carries for 56 yards rushing, 243 yards passing), and picked off four of Hig­ gins’ passes. Montana cornerback Trumaine Johnson, who missed last Saturday’s game at Sac State due to injury, had a team-high 8 tackles, two picks, and two pass deflections. Johnson now has eight career interceptions in two-plus seasons. Cornerback Andrew Swink added 6 tackles and a pick, while end Severin Campbell added five stops, a sack, and 2 tackles for loss. The Grizzlies racked up 506 total yards (52 rushes for 288 yards and 218 yards passing), and had 11 more (24 to 13) first downs. Reynolds, who rushed 21 times for 193 yards in the second half, had a previous career-high of 233 yards rushing against Texas State in a first round FCS playoff game last season. Reynolds now has 2,405 career rushing yards which move him up to third all-time, as he passed Rocky Klever (2,228 yards, 1977-71). Selle was 13-of-26-0 for 214 yards and two touchdowns. Mariani had team-highs of 4 receptions for 98 yards, while Jabin Sambrano caught three balls for 20 yards, and Steve Pfahler, BrooksFletcher and Beaudin had two grabs each. Beaudin’s touchdown grab was the first for him this season and the fourth in his career.

POCATELLO, IDAHO - Kicker Brody McKniight hit a 33-yard field goal with no time remaining to keep the Grizzlies (9-0/6-0 Big Sky) unbeaten. Montanas final possession began at the UM 17 with 1:25 to go, the Griz trailing 10-9. Quar­ terback Andrew Selle was 3-of-5 passing on the game-winning drive. All three completions were big gainers, including a 39-yard strike to Marc Mariani to move Montana to the ISU 15. Chase Reynolds followed that up with a 14-yard carry to the 1-yard line. A Reynolds goal line dive couldn’t break through, and after Selle spiked the ball to stop the clock at 0:09, an offensive pass interfer­ ence penalty moved the field goal try back 15 yards. ISU called two timeouts to ice McKnight, but the sophomore kicker stayed perfect from inside 40 yards and sealed the game for the Griz. Montana outgained Idaho State 492-309, in­ cluding a hefty 335-198 passing advantage, but the Griz had 129 penalty yards and three turn­ overs.

Reynolds ran 22 times for 123 yards, while Thomas Brooks-Fletcher had UM s lone touchdown. ISUs Russel Hill threw for 198 yards, go­ ing 23-36 with a TD and an interception. Clint Knickrehm had 102 rushing yards on 19 carries. After forcing the Bengals to punt on the opening drive, Montanas offense started off with a 10-play drive that gained 81 yards; 42 of those came when Selle hit Mariani down the right side­ line, moving the Griz to the ISU 7. The drive was stalled by an illegal block, and UM eventually settled for a McKnight 27-yard field goal. The Bengals answered with a field goal of their own, a 25-yard effort from Jarrett Huk, on a 14-play, 79-yard drive, aided by two UM penalties for 25 yards. The Griz got on the board again in the second quarter when Thomas Brooks-Fletcher ran up the middle for a 1-yard TD. A personal foul after the UM touchdown moved the conversion back 15

yards, and McKnights kick attempt was blocked by Michael Wright to leave the score 9-3 ISU at halftime. Things got crazy after halftime. A holding call nullified a 66-yard Mariani punt return for a touchdown, and neither team found success in the third quarter. After a combined four straight punts to start the second half, Montanas drive ended when ISU stopped the Griz and took the ball over on downs. The Bengals immediately turned it over when Hill, trying to avoid an Austin Mullins sack, at­ tempted to throw the ball away, but the pass went straight to Montana linebacker Josh Stuberg at the ISU 36. The Griz were driving the short field, but that possession fell apart when A.J. Storms recovered a Montana fumble. A Carson Bender sack ended the ensuing Bengal drive, forcing a punt, but the turnover frenzy continued when Selle threw an interception to Keith McGowen, setting up ISU at its own 44-yard line. The Bengals were finally able to capitalize on the Montana miscue, putting together a 9-play, 56-yard touchdown drive, capped by Hills 21yard slant pass to Kelvin Krosch. Huk’s extra point gave the Bengals their first lead (10-9) of the game with 10:29 to go. Montana gave the ball away again when ISU s Sean Rutten forced Selle to fumble following an 8-yard carry. It was recovered by Chris Holmesly to give the Bengals the ball at their 17. The teams then traded punts, and ISU had the lead and the ball with 3:50 left. The Griz defense allowed only 19 yards in six plays while burning only 2:25 off the game clock. Jon Vanderwielens 44-yard punt went out-ofbounds at the UM 17 to set up Montanas final drive.

MISSOULA, MONTANA - Junior running back Chase Reynolds rushed for 151 yards and three touchdowns to lead the top-ranked (FCS Coaches’ Poll) University of Montana Grizzlies to a Big Sky Conference regular-season champion­ ship with a 38-10 victory over the visiting Univer­ sity of Northern Colorado Bears. It is the 12th straight Big Sky championship for the Grizzlies, who remained unbeaten at 10-0 and are now 7-0 in league. Montana has gone 30-1 in conference games the last four seasons and won 42-of-43 regular-season games. The Grizzlies overcame an early 7-0 deficit, and took a 14-7 halftime lead when junior quar­ terback Justin Roper connected with senior wide receiver Tyler Palmer on a 19-yard touchdown pass with 28 seconds to go until intermission. Montana outscored Northern Colorado (3-8/ 1-7) 24-3 in the final half, thanks in large part to touchdown runs of 54 and 37 yards by Reynolds. Neither teams scored in the opening quarter,

but the Bears took a 7-0 lead at the 13:29 mark of the second quarter on an 18-yard scoring pass from senior quarterback Bryan Waggener to se­ nior wide receiver Alex Thompson. Montana came right back, though, and scored on its next possession after UNC s scoring pass. Reynolds was a workhorse on the Grizzlies’ 12play, 59-yard scoring drive, rushing nine times for 24 hard-earned yards, including the tying TD. The Grizzlies took the lead for good right before halftime, going 80 yards on 11 plays, that go-ahead score coming on the Roper to Palmer touchdown pass. Reynolds’ back-to-back long scoring runs gave the Grizzlies a 28-7 advantage with 12:03 left in the third quarter. The Bears got their final points of the after­ noon on a 25-yard field goal by senior kicker Mi­ chael York, making the score 28-10 Grizzlies with 3:29 left in the third stanza.

A 20-yard field goal by sophomore kicker Brody McKnight and a 32-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Andrew Selle to senior wide receiver Marc Mariani closed out the scor­ ing. Reynolds rushed 23 times for his 151 yards, and had just seven carries for 107 yards and a pair of TDs in the second half. He also had three catches for 26 yards. Reynolds now has 1,096 yards rushing for 15 touchdowns this season. He is the 10th player in school history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season and the third UM player to go over the 1,000-yard plateau twice, joining Yohance Humphery (1,658 yards in 2001 and 1,277 yards in 1999) and Lex Hilliard (1,322 yards in 2005 and 1,132 yards in 2007). Reynolds rushed for 1,583 yards last season. Roper was 13-of-20-0 for 123 yards and a touchdown, while Selle was 6-of-9-l for 72 yards and a score. Mariani had three grabs for 49 yards and a TD, while Palmer had three catches for 43 yards and a touchdown. Nine different players caught passes for Montana. Griz senior linebacker Shawn Lebsock had a team-high nine tackles; junior safety Erik Stoll added eight stops; and sophomore LB Alex Shaw added seven tackles; junior end Severin Campbell had four tackles, including two for losses and a sack. Waggener was 26-of-44-l for 200 yards and a touchdown. UNC sophomore wide receiver Pat­ rick Walker had game-highs of 12 catches for 82 yards.

BOZEMAN, MONTANA - The Grizzlies defeated the Bobcats 33-19 in the 109th meeting of the in-state rivals. Montana leaves Bozeman with an 11-0 record - the fifth time in school history a UM team has gone undefeated during the regular season (1969, 1970, 1996, 2007, and 2009). Griz junior quarterback Andrew Selle threw for three touchdowns, going 17-for-22 and 163 yards passing. The Grizzly defense picked off Cody Kempt twice in the first quarter, one by Andrew Swink and the second by Shann Schillinger. Montana had a chance to take the lead early, but Brody McKnight missed a 43-yard attempt in the first quarter. Montana State opened scoring when Dan Ogden sacked Justin Roper in the end zone, put­ ting the Bobcats up 2-0 in the first quarter. The last time there was a safety in a Griz/Cat game was 1989, and for the first time in the rival­ ries long history, there were two in a game.

The Griz threatened to score early in the sec­ ond quarter when UM faced first-and-goal from the MSU 5. Montana rushed Chase Reynolds four straight times but failed to convert, giving MSU the ball at its own 2-yard line. MSU gave back the two points from the safety in the second quarter when an early snap sur­ prised quarterback Mark Iddins and sailed into the end zone where Iddins fell on the ball, knot­ ting the game at 2-2 with 11:29 to go in the half. Montana took the ball at the UM 45 following the free kick and turned in the only touchdown drive of the half. The Grizzlies strung together a 5-play drive over 2:40, capped by a 9-yard pass from Selle to Marc Mariani in the corner of the end zone, giving Montana a 9-2 lead with 8:49 re­ maining in the second quarter. The Griz threatened again later in the quar­ ter when Mariani sprung a 53-yard punt return to the MSU 27-yard line, but MSUs stiff defense and a Montana penalty left UM with a 41-yard field goal attempt. Dane Fletcher blocked Brody

McKnights kick, ending the last Grizzly scoring threat of the half. The Bobcats got the final points of the first half. MSU stuffed a fake punt and took over at the UM 21. The Cats only picked up nine yards in the ensuing 4-play drive, but Jason Cunninghams 29-yard field goal 25 seconds before intermission made it a baseball type of score, 9-5 at halftime. Montana then had a 11-play drive, highlight­ ed by a 6-yard Selle-to-Mariani touchdown pass, which took 4:56, and pushed the UM lead to 16-5 early in the third stanza. Another long Mariani punt return set up Montana with great field position at the MSU 31. A 25-yard Roper-to-Jabin Sambrano pass set up a 1-yard Dan Beaudin touchdown catch from Roper, extending the Griz lead to 23-5. The third quarter was unkind to the Bobcats, as MSU did not pick up a first down in the pe­ riod. The Griz got a 40-yard McKnight field goal with 14:44 left in the game to make the score 26-5, UM. Following the Griz field goal, MSU finally found the end zone on a 57-yard drive. Cody Kempt found Joe Schriebeis for a 14-yard scoring pass with 12:40 to go. Montanas next drive ended the Cats’ hopes, consuming over nine minutes of game clock and resulting in a Selle-to-Beaudin touchdown. The Bobcats were able to cut into the Griz lead one final time on a Kempt 1-yard sneak, making the score 33-19, but with only 58 seconds remaining, the MSU on-side attempt went outof-bounds, and the Grizzlies ran out the clock.

MISSOULA, MONTANA - The Griz put together perhaps the most impressive comeback in school history for a 61-48 win. Top-ranked Montana (12-0) trailed 11thranked SDSU (8-4) by 27 points (48-21) with 5:40 left in the third quarter after SDSU pushed the buldge back up to 27 points when junior run­ ning back Kyle Minett scored on a 2-yard run. After the SDSU score, though, the Grizzlies scored 40 unanswered points. Just 15 seconds after Minett s score, Montanas Marc Mariani started his teams turnaround, breaking loose for a 98-yard touchdown on a

kickoff return, cutting the Jacks lead to 48-27 with 5:25 remaining in the third period. The Grizzlies then dominated the fourth quarter, scoring 34 unanswered points. A 15-yard scoring pass to Mariani from quar­ terback Andrew Selle started the Grizzlies’ offen­ sive explosion. That hook-up cut the SDSU lead to 48-34 at the 14:56 mark of the fourth quarter. Senior wide receiver Tyler Palmer had two key plays in the drive with 2 catches for 32 yards. Griz junior running back Chase Reynolds then scored on back-to-back 1-yard runs, the

second touchdown knotting the game up at 48-48 with 4:11 remaining. The Grizzly defense held the Jacks to a second straight three-and-out on their possession follow­ ing Reynolds’ game-tying run. Mariani gave UM good field position on a 19-yard punt return to the SDSU 41-yard line, and five plays later Marinai scored on a 4-yard pass from Selle, and Brody McKnight’s PAT gave the Grizzlies their first lead of the game, 55-48, with 1:08 left to play. UM’s final score was set up when linebacker Alex Shaw deflected a pass by SDSU redshirt quarterback Thomas O’Brien. The tipped pass landed in the arms of end Severin Campbell, who returned the interception 32 yards for a touch­ down. Leading 17-14, SDSU scored 17 unanswered points, which resulted in a 34-14 lead by the Jacks at intermission. Mariani had a career-high 12 receptions (which ties him for the fourth most catches in single-game history at UM) for 171 yards and two touchdowns. He also had six kickoff returns for 178 yards and a score, and six punt returns for 40 yards for a school-record 389 all-purpose yards. Tyler Palmer had 6 catches for 85 yards and a score. Selle, who overcame a shaky first half, was 27of-43-2 overall for 309 yards and three TDs, but he completed 21-of-28-0 passes for 241 yards in the second half. Reynolds had 35 hard-earned yards on 14 carries but scored three times. He has 18 touch­ down runs this season and 40 in his career. The Griz rushed 26 times for 40 net yards. Montana senior free safety Shann Schil­ linger had a career-high 14 tackles, and junior strong safety Erik Stoll had a career-best 11 stops. Campbell had 4 tackles, a sack, and a pair of in­ terceptions. Sophomore cornerback Trumaine Johnson had his fifth pick of the season. The Grizzly “D” held the Jacks to 128 total yards and seven first downs in the final half (com­ pared to Montana’s 18 first downs and 296 yards). SDSU had 48 yards in the fourth quarter, includ­ ing just two rush yards. Mariani now has 5,079 career all-purpose yards, breaking the school standard held by running back Yohance Humphery (4,997 yards, 1998-2001). Mariani’s game-winning touchdown grab was the 27th of his career, breaking the school record of 26 shared by Etu Molden, Mike Erhardt, and Shalon Baker. Minett rushed 35 times for 131 yards and a pair of touchdowns. O’Brien was 14-of-27-3 for 198 yards and three scores - all to Cochart. SDSU’s leading tackier was junior cornerback Cole Brodie with 12 stops. 77

MISSOULA, MONTANA - The Grizzlies forced 10 turnovers which led to a dominating 51-0 victory in a NCAA Football Subdivision quarterfinal playoff game in UM’s WashingtonGrizzly Stadium at John Hoyt Field. The first/third-ranked Grizzlies improved to 13-0 overall, while the 12th-ranked Lumberjacks finished their season at 10-3. The last shutout the Grizzlies had in the FCS playoffs was in 2001, a 38-0 win over Northern Iowa in a semi-final game in Missoula. It was a nip-and-tuck first quarter, with nei­ ther team moving the ball very effectively. The Griz got on the board first on a 34-yard field goal by Brody McKnight. Those three points were set up when Montana defensive tackle Austin Mul­ lins picked off a pass by SFA quarterback Jeremy Moses and returned it to the Jacks’ 21-yard line.

Montana got its next points in a similar fash­ ion, when halfback Chase Reynolds scored on a 3-yard run to give the Grizzlies a 10-0 lead with 5:30 left in the first quarter. Reynolds’ scoring run was set up when free safety Shann Schillinger recovered a fumble on a muffed punt by SFA’s Aaron Rhea on the Jacks’ 22-yard line. Perhaps the biggest turnaround in the con­ test occurred late in the opening quarter, as SFA halfback Romonte Hampton caught a pass from Moses on the Montana 2-yard line, but Griz line­ backer Alex Shaw forced him to fumble the ball which was recovered by end Josh Harris. After that fumble recovery, Montana marched 98 yards on 14 plays that took 6:20, and when quarterback Andrew Selle scored on a 4-yard run - the first rushing touchdown of his career, the Griz led 17-0 with 12:24 to go in the second quarter.

2010 Grizzly Football

CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE - Mon­ tanas perfect season ended in Chattanooga at the hands of Villanova on a rainy night in Ten­ nessee. The win gave the Wildcats’ their first-ever NCAA FCS football title. The Griz (14-1) led 14-9 at halftime, but ‘Nova shut down the Montana offense in the second half, limiting the Griz to just six first downs after the intermission. They also shut out UM’s record-setting senior receiver, Marc Mari­ ani, who did not have a catch in the second half, after he had racked up 178 receiving yards and a TD on nine catches - all in the first half. Versatile All-American junior wide receiver Matt Szczur had 14 carries for 159 yards and two touchdowns to go with 68 receiving yards and 43 return yards, for 270 all-purpose yards to lead the Wildcats, who had two 100-yard rushers.

Wildcat junior quarterback Chris Whitney rushed for 102 yards while completing 10-of13 passes for 142 yards, a touchdown, with one pick. Montana senior linebacker Shawn Lebsock intercepted Whitney in the end zone early in the second quarter - Lebsock’s first career pick. Montana got two touchdowns from sopho­ more receiver Jabin Sambrano, who caught five passes for 79 yards. Griz junior quarterback Andrew Selle completed 27of-35 passes for a career-high 351 yards and three touchdowns. UM junior running back Chase Reynolds gained 64 yards on 15 carries, and added 5 catches for 39 yards. Montana had a chance to take the lead early, but kicker Brody McKnight never got a foot on a 32-yard field goal attempt, as holder Jeff Larson mishandled the spot, and Larson was forced to try a pass that fell incomplete.

Villanova (14-1) grabbed the game’s first lead at 5:12 in the first quarter. Nick Yako drilled a 23-yard field goal to cap an 8-play, 79-yard drive. Fifty of those yards came on rush by Szc­ zur, who was lined up at quarterback in a “Wild­ cat” offensive formation. After the Nova field goal, Montana answered with two touchdowns. The Grizzlies’ first score came on Mariani’s 24-yard reception from Selle with 3:15 to go in the first quarter, giving UM a 7-3 lead. Selle then connected with Sambrano from four yards out with 6:48 left in the second quarter to cap an 80-yard drive, and Montana led 14-3. Villanova got into the end zone with 3:34 to go until halftime as Szczur scored on a 5-yard run. Yako missed the PAT, and Montana led 14-9 at intermission. The Wildcats ate up 7:28 of the third quar­ ter on a 13-play, 81-yard drive. Whitney found tight end Chris Farmer wide open at the goal line with a 3-yard scoring pass to grab the lead, 16-14, with 5:27 left in the third quarter. Szczur scored again in the fourth quarter. Villanova went 95 yards on ten plays, highlight­ ed by Szczur’s 3-yard touchdown run, to stretch the VU lead to nine points (23-14) with 11:04 to play. Montana took the ball at its own eight-yard line with 2:17 and covered 92 yards in four plays, the last being a 53-yard Selle-to-Sambrano pass. Sambrano adjusted to an underthrown ball at the ‘Nova 20-yard line and ran untouched to the end zone. The Griz picked up three of their six second-half first downs on that final drive. After the extra point, Montana was down 23-21 with just 1:07 to go. Although the on-side kick went out-of-bounds, Tte Griz had all three timeouts remaining and still had hope if the de­ fense could force the Wildcats into a three-andout. However, a 10-yard Szczur rush for a first down ended Montana’s chances for a comeback. The Grizzlies could not stop the Wildcats rushing attack, as they rushed 51 times for 351 yards - gaining 6.9 yards a carry. Nova gained 192 yards on 30 carries in the second half Montana managed just 13 yards rushing on 11 totes in the final half, and had 72 total yards in the final 30 minutes after picking up 293 yards in the first half.

Big Sky

Conference Montana once again led the confer­ ence in 2009 with an 8-0 record and became conference champs. in the past 20 years Montana has owned the title outright 10 times or shared it five times for a total of 15 championships. Head coach Bobby Hauck earned Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year for the third time in four seasons. He guided UM to conference victories in 15 straight games and 31 of the last 32. (B obby H auck a n d p la y e rs c e le b r a te th e 2 0 0 9 Big S k y ch a m p io n sh ip a fte r winning th e Nov. 1 4 g a m e vs. N orthern Colorado.)

The Big Sky Conference enters its 48th 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 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 2010-11 season will mark the 23rd 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 16th 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.

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 in 2006, 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. 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. 2010 Grizzly Football

2 0 0 9 : Griz A dvance to S eventh FCS Title Gam e in 1 5 Years Montana made it to the Football Championship Subdivision champi­ onship game for the second year in a row and seventh time in the last 15 seasons. However, second-ranked Villanova rushed 51 times for 351 yards to beat the Grizzlies 23-21 in Chattanooga, Tenn. The setback in the chipper was the top-ranked Grizzlies only loss (141) of the season. It was the fourth straight season the Grizzlies have won 11 or more games. The Grizzlies won (or shared) their 12th consecutive Big Sky Confer­ ence championship and 15th in the past 17 seasons. Montana is 31-1 in Big Sky games over the past four seasons. Montanas consecutive FCS playoff run is now at 17 and stretches from 1993 to 2009. The Grizzlies won national titles in 2001 and 1995, and were the runners-up in 2009, 2008, 2004, 2000, and 1996. UMs route to the 2009 title game had its share of drama. Trailing 1lth-ranked South Dakota State by 27 points (48-21) with 5:40 left in the third quarter, the Grizzlies went on a tear - outscoring the Jackrabbits 40-0 on the way to a 61-48 victory. Montanas dynamic duo of Marc Mariani and Chase Reynolds, along with an opportunistic defense, turned the tide for the Griz in the come­ back. Senior Marc Mariani started it all with a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and also scored twice on passes from junior quarterback An­ drew Selle. Junior halfback Chase Reynolds rushed for two scores in the final quarter. The Griz defense held SDSU to 128 total yards and seven first downs in the final half. A week later UM forced 10 turnovers and crushed 12th-ranked Stephen F. Austin 51-0 in a quarterfinal contest. Ironically, in 1993, the year Montana started its record FCS playoff ap­ pearance streak, the Griz set a division record by scoring 39 fourth-quarter points in a 52-48 win over visiting SDSU. Montanas semifinal showdown against fifth-ranked Appalachian State and dynamic quarterback Armani Edwards on a snowy day and a nation­ ally televised game by ESPN was everything it was expected to be, as it came down to the last play. With the game knotted 17-all, Selle floated a 25-yard pass to sophomore wide receiver Jabin Sambrano who caught the ball in the left corner of the end zone, giving the Grizzlies a 24-17 lead with 1:31 remaining.. However, Edwards led the Mountaineers down the field to Montanas 3-yard line, but a last-second pass was broken up by Trumaine Johnson, and the Grizzlies earned their seventh trip to the title game. 2010 Grizzly Football

Mariani broke numerous records in his impressive career, including ca­ reer marks for receiving yards (3,018) and TDs (29), and all-purpose yards (5,441). Reynolds rushed for 1,500-plus yards for the second season in a row and tied his own mark with 22 rushing touchdowns. The under-rated and efficient Selle passed for 28 touchdowns. Linebacker Shawn Lebsock and safety Shann Schillinger ended their careers as two of the leading tacklers in UM history. Schillinger was a sixth round NFL draft pick by the Falcons, while Mariani was tabbed in the seventh by the Tennessee Titans. Head coach Bobby Hauck, who left UM for UNLV following the season, was seven-of-seven in taking his teams to the FCS playoffs, and had a re­ cord of 80-17, ranking second at UM and third in Big Sky history with 80 victories. Montana has won 119 games over the past 10 seasons, averaging almost 12 (11.9) wins per year. 2 0 0 8 : M ontana Plays For Sixth N ational Cham pionship Despite losing 14 starters, Montana made it to the FCS championship game for the sixth time, losing 24-7 to Richmond in Chattanooga. In the first round Montana handled Texas State 31-13. In the quarter­ finals the Grizzlies avenged an early-season league loss (45-28) at Weber State, defeating the lOth-ranked Wildcats 24-13. In the FCS semi-final game Montana had its biggest playoff road win ever, beating top-ranked James Madison 35-27. Griz senior quarterback Cole Bergquist passed for 3,156 yards and 28 touchdowns and wide-out Mike Ferriter finished his career ranked ninth in school history with 2,089 receiving yards. Reynolds rushed for a schoolrecord 22 touchdowns. Senior linemen Colin Dow, J.D. Quinn, and Brent Russum all earned all-league and All-American recognition. The defense was led by strong safety Colt Anderson, a Buck Buchanan Award finalist, who was Montanas leading tackier with 129 stops. 2 0 0 7 : Grizzlies M ake 1 5 th FCS Playoff A ppearance In a Row This was the Grizzlies’ 18th overall playoff appearance and their 15th in a row. That 18th FCS playoff moved Montana past Eastern Kentucky for the most (17) in division history. Unfortunately, Montana suffered a rare home loss in the playoffs, a 23-22 setback 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 Defensive Player of the Year). Senior 138


Montana Year-by-Year halfback Lex Hilliard set school career records with 50 rushing touch­ downs. Kicker Dan Carpenter set FCS career 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. Carpenter and Hilliard are currently playing for the Miami Dolphins, while Biermann is with the Atlanta Falcons. 2 0 0 6 : Griz M ake it to th e S em is In 2006 the Grizzlies narrowly missed playing for their sixth national title in 12 years. After losing at 16th-ranked Iowa, Montana won 11 straight games, finished 12-2 over­ all and 8-0 in the Big Sky. Hilliard, a 2006 Walter Payton Award candidate, 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.

Post Season Play 2 0 0 4 : Fifth Trip to th e FCS Title Game in th e Last 1 0 S e a so n s Montana was 12-3 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 se­ nior wide receiver Jefferson Heidelberger had the second most receiving yards in single-season history with 1,240. In the playoffs the host Griz handled their first three opponents rela­ tively easy, beating Northwestern State (56-7), New Hampshire (47-17), and Sam Houston State (34-13). The title game was a 31-21 loss to James Madison in the FCS title game in Chattanooga. Sadly, the championship game was played on a field that was a quagmire. The grass playing surface had reportedly recently been re-sodded, and big chunks of grass and dirt were tossed all over the field by the player s cleats whenever they ran or cut on the grass playing surface. 2 0 0 3 : Griz Break Playoff Record S treak Montana broke the FCS record by making its 11th consecutive playoff appearance, eclipsing the mark of 10 that it shared with Eastern Kentucky, which had 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 West­ ern 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 scoring 123 points. He also set a re­ cord by connecting on 126 consecutive PATs. Defensive end Tim Bush finished his career as Montanas all-time career leader in sacks (32.5) and tackles for loss (50). 2 0 0 2 : Griz Tie FCS Mark for C on secu tive W ins

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 East­ ern Washington in Spokane.

UM also set the record for most consecutive Big Sky wins (25) and most league A young defense was ranked ninth in the FCS in total defense, allowing road wins in a row (13). Senior quarterback John Edwards was named the Big Sky’s co-MVP on 226.4 yards a game. Host Montana defeated 22nd-ranked McNeese State 31-6 in an FCS offense and senior safety Trey Young was the leagues defensive player of first-round game, then knocked off No. 10 Southern Illinois 20-3 in the the year. Montana defeated Northwestern State 45-14 at home in a first-round quarterfinals, but were edged (19-17) out to third-ranked UMass in the playoff game, but lost 24-20 at McNeese State in a quarterfinal contest. semi-finals in a game televised nationally on ESPN2.

The defense was ranked sixth in the country with a 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 in Mis­ soula earlier in the season.

Montana won its second FCS national championship in history, defeat­ ing Furman University 13-6. Edwards engineered a 16-play, 99-yard scor­ ing drive for UM s only touchdown in the title game. Halfback Yohance Humphery, Montanas all-time rusher, was a work-horse in the game, gain­ ing 142 yards on 30 carries, and scored UM’s only touchdown on a 2-yard run. The Griz defense limited the Paladins to 121 yards rushing and forced three turnovers. Furmans only score came on a Hail Mary pass as time expired. Humphery wrapped up his illustrious career with 4,070 career yards. 139


Montana Year-by-Year

Post Season Play playoff-record crowd of 32,106 in Huntington, West Vir­ ginia. Walter Payton Award-winning quarterback Dave Dickenson passed for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns in Montana’s first three playoff games. UM out-scored its op­ ponents 163-14. In its first three playoff victories, the host Grizzlies beat Eastern Kentucky (48-0), Georgia Southern (45-0), and Stephen F. Austin (70-14). In the title game, Dickenson orchestrated a 12-play, 72yard scoring drive, culminating with a 25-yard field goal by Andy Larson with 39 seconds 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 Montana’s 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). 1 9 9 3 -1 9 9 4 : A Program On th e R ise

The Grizzlies’ 15 victories set a school record for the most wins in a season. 2 0 0 0 : Third Trip to th e Title Gam e The Griz earned a trip to the championship game for the third time in six seasons, losing a heart-breaker, 27-25 to Georgia Southern in Chatta­ nooga. Starting Griz quarterback Drew Miller was injured late in the first quar­ ter, 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 ear­ ly in the fourth quarter on a scoring run by Humphery. The Grizzlies’ 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 gamewinning touchdown. 1 9 9 9 -9 7 : Griz Lose Three Straight First-Round G am es The Griz dropped three first-round playoff games during this time, but in 1999 set the Big Sky record with a seventh consecutive FCS playoff ap­ pearance. The old standard of six straight was set by former Big Sky mem­ ber Idaho from 1985-90. In 1999, visiting Youngstown State, coached by current Ohio State men­ tor Jim Tressell, kicked a late field goal for a 30-27 win. In 1998 Mon­ tana suffered its worst playoff setback ever, losing 52-9 at Western Illinois. UM’s three-game playoff losing streak started in 1997 with a 19-14 setback at McNeese State. 1 9 9 6 : M oss Is Too Much & 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 NFL star wide receiver Randy Moss grabbed four touchdown catches to lead Marshall to a 49-29 win. It was the first time ever two undefeated (14-0) teams played for the I-AA crown. In the title game Grizzly quarterback Brian Ah Yat set (then) playoff records for pass completions with 36 and total plays (67). Wide receiver Joe Douglass set a playoff record with 13 receptions, and he also set Mon­ tana single-season standards with 82 catches for 1,469 yards and 18 touch­ downs.

The host Griz squeaked by Northern Iowa 23-20 in a 1994 first-round contest, and then edged visiting McNeese State 30-28 in a snow storm on a game-ending field goal by Larson. Unfortunately, Dickenson was re-injured early in the win over McNeese, and he was not able to play in the semifinal - a 28-9 loss to host Youngstown State. In 1993, Montana rolled to a 10-1 regular-season record, with its 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 first-round shoot-out loss to visiting Delaware. The Grizzlies’ 93 victories in the 1990’s were the second most in the divi­ sion (Youngstown State won 103). 1 9 8 9 : Griz Host Their First Playoff Gam e Montana hosted and won its first playoff game in school history, beat­ ing Jackson State 48-7 in the first round. UM defeated visiting Eastern Il­ linois 25-15 in the quarterfinals, and then lost 45-15 to eventual national champion Georgia Southern in Statesboro in the semis. 1 9 8 8 & 1 9 8 2 : In th e Playoffs After a six-year hiatus, in 1988, the Griz earned their first at-large bid into the playoffs, losing (38-19) at Idaho. Montana’s initial trip to the play­ offs came in 1982 when it won its first Big Sky title since 1970. Despite winning the league championship the Grizzlies had to travel to Moscow, Idaho, losing 21-7 to the Vandals. 16-Team FCS Playoff Format The FCS playoff field goes up to 20 teams in 2009. In the inaugural season (1978) of Division I-AA there were four teams in the playoffs. The tournament was expanded to eight teams in 1981, and then in 1986, it went to a 16-team format. 1 9 6 9 -1 9 7 0 : M ontana Plays For NCAA C ollege Division Titles Montana played for the College Division 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. Both years Montana advanced to the Camellia Bowl in Sacramento, Calif., but, missing many starters 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 is in his sixth year as Director of Athletics at The University of Montana. A 1980 graduate of the UM School of Journalism, O’Day returned to his alma mater in 1998 after an 18-year career in the newspaper business, first as sports editor of the Kalispell (Mont.) Daily Interlake, then in his hometown of Cut Bank, Mont., as owner/publisher of the twice-weekly Western Breeze newspaper. O’Day served as assistant director of the Grizzly Athletic Association (now the Grizzly Scholarship Association) for three years before becoming Director of Development for UM Athletics in 2001. On June 30, 2005, he was named by UM President George Dennison as the Director of Athletics at Montana. O’Day currently serves on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee and the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoff Selection Committee. This year, O’Day will serve as chairman of that particular committee. In addition, he 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 2007, he was honored by the All-American Football Foundation by receiving the Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletics Director Award. Prior to returning to UM, O’Day was a charter member of the Cut Bank Education Foundation and Alumni Association and was Cut Bank’s Citizen of the Year in 1992. He organized the Golden Triangle Chapter of the GAA in 1992 and served as president until his appointment at UM in 1998. He was also actively involved in many other community service organizations.

Chris and Kevin are graduates of The University of Montana and reside in Arizona, while Brian will be a sophomore at UM this fall. Several of Jim’s many accomplishments during his first five years in the athletic department include UM Athletics winning the school’s first Sterling Savings Bank Presidents Cup in 2007 (Montana was second in 2010 and 2009, and third in 2008); paying off a $1 million deficit two years early; instrumental in constructing a 2,000-seat east-side expansion to Washington-Grizzly Stadium that was ready in time for the 2008 football season; and capturing conference titles in women’s golf (coached by Joanne Steele) in 2006 and in women’s basketball (coached by Robin Selvig) in 2007,2008 and 2009. In addition, the men’s basketball team won Big Sky Tournament titles and made NCAA appearances in 2006 and 2010. In 2006, the team under the direction of Coach Larry Krystkowiak won a first round game in the NCAA tourney vs. Nevada. The school’s only other NCAA men’s basketball tournament victory came in 1975 against Utah State. Academically, UM student-athletes have their highest cumulative grade point averages (3.05) in school history, and also maintain graduation rates significantly higher than the general student population at The University of Montana. Also, the Grizzly Scholarship Association topped the $2 million mark in annual giving the past three years - more than double the amount raised in 2000. 2010 Grizzly Football
