■ The Home of the Grizzlies The 2011 season will be the 26th year that the Uni versity of Montana Grizzly football team calls Wash ington-Grizzly Stadium (John Hoyt Field) “hom e” Montana was ranked second in Division 1 FCS in attendance in football last season, drawing a total of 152,689 fans to average a Big Sky Conference-record of 25,448 per contest in six home games. Appala chian State led the nation, averaging 25,715 fans per game. The Grizzlies broke their all-time attendance re cord twice in 2010. Montana drew a record crowd of 25,965 fans against Sacramento State, and then later in the season in their finale against Montana State, as 26,019 fans were on hand - the first time ever that more than 26,000 fans have attended a game in Wash ington-Grizzly Stadium, or in the state of Montana for that matter. Two seasons ago, in 2009, Montana led the nation in attendance - the third time in the last seven years the Grizzlies have accomplished that. UM’s average attendance of 24,417 in nine home games in 2009 broke its attendance record in five of its six regularseason games. Montana has led Division 1 in average attendance in 2005, 2006, and 2009, and was ranked second in 2007, 2008, and 2010. Since playing their first game in the stadium in 1986, the Grizzlies have an overall record of 163-21 for a winning percentage of 88.6%. The Griz played just three games in WashingtonGrizzly Stadium in their inaugural season in 1986. That first game was played on October 18, 1986, and was a memorable one, as Montana posted a 38-31 come-from-behind win over Idaho State. Montana has now gone 23-1 (.958) in WashingtonGrizzly Stadium the last three seasons (9-0 in 2008 and 2009), and is 38-3 (.927) there over the past five years. In 2008, Montana set (then) Big Sky regular-season home attendance records, drawing 174,236 fans in seven games, averaging 24,891 per contest. The Grizzlies broke the Washington-Grizzly Stadi um attendance mark five times during the 2008 sea son in its expanded facility. The attendance at all sev

Stadium History & Nam esake

The plans for an on-campus football facility at Montana came to fruition in August of 1985 when Missoula businessman Dennis R. Washington and the employees of Washington Corporations provided a gift of $1 million, hence the name of Washington Grizzly Stadium. The initial cost of the stadium was around $3.2 million. There are 49 private boxes located on the east and west sides of the stadium, and they are individually decorated and furnished.

■

Stadium Expansions

Washington-Grizzly Stadium underwent its third expansion, at a cost of approximately $6.5 million, prior to the 2008 football season. The eastside ex pansion now houses a 500-seat “Stadium Club” with two membership levels: the “Canyon Room,” which has 125 seats inside and 125 seats outside, and the “Hellgate Terrace,” which has 250 seats. The expansion in ‘08 provided 375 Grizzly Schol arship Association priority seats, which are located between the 25-and-40-yard lines and on both sides of the 50-yard line, as well as 1,150 non-priority seats located on the 10-to-25-yard lines. This expansion increased the current seating capacity of Washing ton-Grizzly Stadium to 25,217. The second expansion occurred in the spring and summer of 2003 when approximately 4,000 seats were added to the north end zone section, increas ing the stadium capacity to 23,183, with a cost around $3.5 million. In the spring of 1995 the stadium underwent its first expansion in the north and south end zones. At that time there were 12,500 permanent seats, and seating was available, weather permitting, in the grass end zones, which made the capacity around 15,000. The cost of that expansion was about $2.5 million. GrizVision, a state-of-the-art video and message center, was added in 2002. GrizVision displays game statistics, player profiles, digital replays, and shots of the crowd. The screen is one of the largest in the FCS, measuring 26 feet by 36 feet, and it came from New York City and Times Square. A natural-grass stadium gave way to SprinTurf prior to the 2001 season at a cost of about $1 million, which was paid for by an anonymous donor. The field was named “John Hoyt Field” in 2001 at the request of the anonymous donor, in honor of Hoyt, a long time Grizzly booster who passed away in March of that year. The locker rooms measure 4,000-plus square feet. Adams Center features a 7,000-square foot weight room, a 4,500-square foot athletic treatment center,

the Jacobson Academic Center, and a meeting room with big screen videos. The womens locker room covers 4,000 square feet. There are also three other meeting rooms totaling 2,000 square feet.

ATHLETES IN THE CLASSROOM AND COMMUNITY he University of Montana and Grizzly Athletic Depart ment are proud of our athletes academic success along with their volunteerism in the community. The Athletic Department jumped up 11 percentage points in the latest NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) report released in the fall of 2010. Using the federal graduation rate for UM’s incoming freshmen student-athletes from fall 2003, Montana had a success rate of 63 percent, which was up from 52 percent for UMs 2002 incoming class. The federal graduation rate measures the success rate of student-athletes who received some level of athletic aid during their first year of enrollment. The student-athletes must graduate from Montana within a six-year window of their initial college enrollment to be counted as successful. The departments percentage was higher than the campus’ rate as a whole for the entering class in 2003 of 44 percent. Further, Montanas success rate of 63 percent matched Eastern Washington for second among the nine Big Sky Conference schools. Northern Colorado led the league at 72 percent. For autumn semester 2010,57.3% of UM athletes had a term GPA greater than or equal to 3.0 as compared to 55.4% of UM undergrads, while 55% of athletes for spring semester 2011 earned that honor. Twenty-two and a half percent of the athletes were on the Deans List for autumn semester com pared to 19.6% of the undergraduate population and 18.9% for spring 2011 semester. Football had 11 athletes on the Deans List fall semester 2010 and 14 in the spring 2011. Senior strong safety Erik Stoll was selected the 2011 Big Sky Conference Scholar Athlete Award winner in June 2011. He was also named first team on the 2010 ESPN The Magazines Division 1 Academic All-America Football Team by Co-SIDA and was also a two time All-District 7 academic squad

pick, maintaining a 3.92 GPA in biology. He won the Prsident’s Award for academic achievement in 2009 and the Grizzly Cup in 2011. The “Cup” is awarded to a senior male student-athlete who has excelled athletically on the field/court/track, as well as in academics. (A Grizzly Cup is also awarded to the top female athlete, and the 2011 recipient was vol leyball player Jaimie Thibeault.) This year’s returning athletes in football who received Big Sky Conference all-academic awards are: Bobby Alt (sociology), Ryan with former UM Fetherston (political science), - Erik Stoll, _ 0 ^ ^ n . ^ \ T j President George Dennison, earned the Sam Gratton (history), Jordan D .. .

here after Andrew Selle,” Pflugrad said. “There just wasn’t a quarterback in that class; there just wasn’t. That’s been a challenge, because we had to go out and find a guy. Have we found the right guy? That is a big question mark. We don’t know, and practices and games are going to an swer that for us.”

■ QUARTERBACK

Junior quarterback/running back Gerald Kemp “Its great to be excited and fired up, and its very important to be positive in your coaching,” Pflugrad said. “However I think you have to be somewhat realistic too, and really analyze this thing. Theres some outstanding players in the league, and several outstanding teams as well.” Montana had a solid offense in the FCS in 2010. They were ranked 16th in scoring (31.73 ppg), 28th in passing (233.55 ypg), and 40th overall offensively. Pflugrad and offensive coordinator Jona than Smith revamped the offense this past spring, and will have a different look this sea son. “You could give our offense a couple of dif ferent names,” Pflugrad said. “Its the spread offense with a zone read concept. The passing game in it is based on a lot of run-and-shoot. I guess you could say we are a spread and shoot team. Those two words would incorporate more of what we do. “With the mobility of the quarterback, that’s kind of a help to the offense,” Pflugrad said. “We’re going to use the sprint-out in the passing game a little bit more than what’s been done here previously, other than when coach (Don) Read was here with some outstanding mobile quarterbacks. Mick (Dennehy) also had a couple of quarterbacks who were very mobile, I just didn’t get a chance to watch them play. “There’s been some outstanding quarter backs here, and that’s the one thing that was not

All four quarterbacks had their share of highlights during spring football drills. That quartet includes lettermen Jordan Johnson, a sophomore, and junior (lettermen) Gerald Kemp, along with junior transfer Nate Mon tana and redshirt freshman Shay SmithwickHann. The Grizzlies did not announce a starter at the conclusion of spring drills but Johnson probably has the inside track with Montana and Kemp close behind. Kemp was limited in the passing game due to an injury, while Smithwick-Hann had a lot of his success throwing the ball. Johnson, who was activated a year ago as a true freshman, is the only signal-caller to have any game experience, but he only attempted 20 passes in six games last season. “Gerald Kemp was moved from quarter back to running back towards the end of Bob by’s (Hauck) tenure here, and we resurrected his opportunity to play quarterback and have a shot, and that’s still going to happen in fall camp. “To me it’s still somewhat of an open bat tle, with Jordy Johnson, and Gerald, and Nate Montana having a fairly solid spring,” Pflugrad said. “Shay had a nice spring too. I like that depth, however fall camp and performance in games this season will tell us where we are at in regard to this position. We don’t see that there’s anyone out there right now to try and recruit who can fulfill those needs. “We like (high school signee) Trent McKin ney a lot on video tape, but he’s got to come and play at a different level,” Pflugrad said. “We’re going to take a look at him as well.”

involved mostly in the return game. “Peter Nguyen was the guy who took the most reps in the spring, followed closely by Jor dan Canada,” Pflugrad said. “They’re similar (Nguyen and Canada) and yet a little bit differ ent, in that they are both fast and really quick, but Jordan might have a little more top-end speed than Peter. Both catch the ball out of the backfield, but they are just not big targets in the passing game, which is the one negative. Brett got better, and I think he will help our football team. “A lot of people wonder how those two backs are inside the five-yard line, but I think we have a couple of players who can help us in that area, one who we did not have all last sea son, and another who we lost during the sea son,” he said. Pflugrad is referring to juniors Beau Don aldson (6-1, 233) and Dan Moore (5-11, 235). Donaldson missed last season with an injury, while Moore, a special teams standout, was injured mid-way through the 2010 season and lost for the year. “We’ll probably have a small package with a two-back system,” Pflugrad said. “Not only could we play Peter and Jordan at the same time, but we might be able to play Beau and Dan at the same time, or a combination of all of those players.”

■ RUNNING BACK Reynolds, who was a team captain last sea son, was a scoring machine as a sophomore and junior with 44 rushing touchdowns, but limited to eight as a senior, due in large part to injuries. He will be extremely difficult to re place. Junior halfback Peter Nguyen had a solid spring, while promising redshirt freshmen Jor dan Canada and Brett Kirschner are also in the mix. Nguyen was steady and consistent, while Canada displayed excellent quickness and speed. Kirschner should definitely contribute as well. Kemp is UM’s leading returning rusher with 45 carries for 224 yards, while Nguyen was

in fall camp a year ago, after transferring from the University of Washington, and had a tre mendous spring. Those two returnees might give the Griz zlies the past tandem in the Big Sky, and junior Jacob Haas had a good spring as well, and adds quality depth. “I think we have three very good players here,” Pflugrad said. “Greg and Kavario are as good as anyone in the league, and they’re going to push each other like they did in the spring. Jacob Haas really had a nice spring too. Greg and Kavario are also very good run-blockers.”

■ WIDE RECEIVER

■ OFFENSIVE LINE Burton was an honorable mention all league pick at right tackle where he started all 11 games a year ago, while Opperud started 10 contests at left tackle and Sabin started all 11 contests at left guard. Two talented sophomores, Danny Kistler Jr. and William Poehls, saw action as true fresh man last season and earned starting berths at right and left guard, respectively. Kistler had two starts at guard and one at tackle last year. Junior Jeremy Lapan came on strong last spring and will see action, as could promising redshirt freshman Trevor Poole and senior Jake Hendrickson. “The one thing that group did was get bet ter,” Pflugrad said. “Now, did they get better fast enough? - absolutely not. At the end of the season we ran the ball very well, including over 250 yards against Montana State, which was ex citing and promising. “We have some good veterans to mix with our two young guards, Kistler and Poehls, and I like our potential there, but potential does not win football games for you,” he said. “At tackle, Chuck Burton and Jon Opperud will be our bookends and veterans, with Sabin in there at center to help those young guards.”

The Grizzlies return 10 of their top 11 lead ing receivers this season. Bryce Carver, Grat ton, Moutra, and Sambrano combined for 134 receptions, 1,772 yards and 18 touchdowns last season. Reynolds led the team with 40 catches. Last season Moutra had team-highs of 600 yards receiving and six touchdowns, while Sambrano was second in receptions (39) and receiving yards (584). Both players were hon orable mention all-league picks. Juniors Carver (31-for-261-5 TDs) and Gratton (28-327-4) were key players as well. Atkins, a senior, redshirt freshmen Mitch Saylor, C.J. Hatchett, Sean Haynes, along with sophomores Aaron Roberts and Cam Warren, could also contribute. “There are some players there who have made plays for us,” Pflugrad said. “Sam’s made plays since he was a freshman, and Jabin’s soph omore year and the big catch (game-winner) he had against Appalachian State. Carver has had his moments; each just needs to be more con sistent and bring his game up a notch or two, and that would really help our depth. “The way Antwon Moutra played for us was just outstanding,” he said. “To be able to get him late in the summer and to see how he produced for us was exciting. Mitch Saylor, at 6-5, will help us. C.J. Atkins has a lot of natural ability. Aaron Roberts is still a big question mark for us and would have played as a true freshman, but unfortunately, because of injuries that has not happened. He could be a complete receiver for us in all phases of the game - if he is healthy.”

►

Bobby Alt along with fellow senior Ryan Fetherston, who was an all-league honorable mention player, are both back at end. Also vy ing for a starting job is junior Josh Harris, who might have started last season at end but was lost for the year due to an injury in fall camp. Senior tackle Bryan Waldhauser was a sec ond team All-Big Sky pick last season (as was Campbell) and started all 11 games a year ago. Also back is safety Mike McCord (eight starts). Montana was ranked among the best in Division 1 leaders at 10th in total defense, al lowing just 289.82 yards a game. The Griz were ranked seventh in pass efficiency defense (98.08 ypg) and 40th in scoring defense (22.09 ppg)“I think we are solid on the D-line, but losing Severin Campbell for the season to an injury in the Portland State game (and to graduation) will be a huge void for us and al most impossible to fill. He was by far our best pass rush guy, and a player who maybe could have gone on to the next level if he would have stayed healthy. Some of that will be by commit tee, probably somewhat like our running backs’ position.”

DEFENSE

With seven-plus starters back, including all three linebackers, the defense should again be one of the best in UM’s division. The Griz need to replace Campbell and also lost some key players in the secondary. Senior cornerback Trumaine Johnson was a Buck Buchanan Award finalist last season, and named to virtually every All-American team in 2010. He was one of UM’s leading tacklers a year ago with 44 stops, and second on the team with four picks, two of which he returned for touchdowns.

Junior tight end Greg Hardy

missed a lot of action last year because ot in juries. Senior Ben Hughes should be a factor here as well. Like UM’s defensive end position, youth will provide the crux of the depth at tackle, with the likes of sophomore Alex Bienemann and freshmen Derek Crittenden and Tonga Takai. Highly heralded prep signee Jesse Ginn, a 6-5, 290-pounder, will get a chance to con tribute right away. “Yes, there are sure some good players com ing back on our D-line, but I don’t know if we ever had all of them in there at the same time because they were injured,” Pflugrad said. “The last part of the season we were so hobbled in the D-line area that we struggled in a few of our games. “We have some younger players who could be very solid players, but they just have not been game-tested,” Pflugrad said. “All three of those young tackles had some pretty good practices in the spring.”

I LINEBACKERS

Junior linebacker Jordan Tripp

■ DEFENSIVE LINE There is good returning experience at end, as Alt started in nine games and Fetherston had six starts, while Harris adds quality depth and could vie for a starting berth. Like Harris, Fetherston missed spring drills because of his recovery from off-season surgery, and hopeful ly both will be ready to go and be at 100 percent by the start of fall camp. Fetherston was third on the team with four sacks a year ago, while Alt had 2.5. Going into the 2011 season there is a con cern at D-end depth-wise because of lack of experience, as sophomores Chris Bradford, Clay Pierson, Trevor Rehm, and redshirt fresh man Zack Wagenmann have not had a lot of “PT.” “We don’t know how healthy Clay Pierson is going to be (he was injured in spring drills), and what a loss Josh Harris was for us,” Pflu grad said. “Coming into the (2010) season he was going to start for us along with Severin, and we lost both of them, and those were bigtime hits for us.” At tackle, Waldhauser played hurt during a substantial portion of the season, but he still had a team-high five sacks and tied for sixth on the team for the most tackles (50) en route to earning all-league honors. Team captain and UM’s other starter at tackle last year, Tyler Hobbs, graduated, but senior Tyrone Duncan could be an all-conference caliber player if he can stay healthy. Both Hobbs and Duncan

The Griz return a talented trio in starting linebackers Caleb McSurdy (a team-high 112 tackles), Jordan Tripp (99 tackles), and Alex Shaw (62 tackles), who ranked first, second, and fourth respectively in total tackles last season. McSurdy tied for 24th in the nation with 10.18 tackles a game, while Tripp tied for 50th with 9.0 stops per contest. “Will” linebacker Shaw had 6.5 stops for losses. Pflugrad thinks this position will be one of the main strengths on his defense. “I like those three players (returning start ers) a lot,” he said. “I also like some of our other players at that position. John Kanongata’a is a guy who can play a couple of different positions for us. Josh Stuberg is a smart enough player to play all three of those spots, and I think Brock Coyle could play two of those as well. At mid dle linebacker, Beau Donaldson gives us some depth there. Hopefully Taylor Tuliaupupu will develop too and help us. We are not sure how (sophomore) Ty Timmer is going to be coming off an injury. That kind of rounds that position out.” Stuberg, a junior, and sophomore Ethan Pateman are two-three at mike linebacker; sophomore letterman Kanongata’a will back up at sam. Coyle, a sophomore, and Tuliaupupu are back-ups at the will spot.

a year ago, while Dodson and Wilson were honorable mention selections. “As I said earlier, this is an area of concern for us going into fall camp and into the 2011 season,” Pflugrad said. “We do have Trumaine Johnson back in the secondary, and he is our only true starter back there, and losing Erik Stoll, Jimmy Wilson, and Brandon Dodson that’s a big concern for us right now. Jimmy could do so many things for us, because he brought an element to our practices and got ev erybody fired up, and he was like our spiritual leader. And Erik Stoll brought so much to our team physically and mentally. “Trumaine has really grown up on the field and in the classroom, and that needs to carry over into fall camp,” Pflugrad said. “It’s hard to believe that he is already a senior. He definitely has the ability to be one of the best players at his position to ever play at Montana, and he definitely will have an opportunity to play at the next level.” Seniors Houston Roots and Donny Lisowski are vying for the other starting cornerback spot. Also expected to see action are junior college transfer Kevin Frank Jr. and sophomore letterman Sean Murray. “It would have been awesome to have the corner position solidified coming out of spring practice, but that did not happen,” Pflugrad said. “One of those four players just has to come along.”

SPECIAL TEAMS McKnight, a senior from Vancouver, B.C., who was taken in the first round (eighth pick) in the 2011 Canadian Football League draft, re turns to handle the kicking duties for the fourth season in a row. He will also more-than-likely serves as UM’s punter, and he also kicks off. Last season McKnight was a second team 'ick, making 14-of-18 field goal at(two of which were blocked). He aver38.5 yards on 53 punts. “He’s talented, he’s really turned into a team leader, and he was our co-MVP last year,” Pflu grad said. “He does not want to relinquish anything he does, but it would be awesome if someone came in and could out-punt him. If that happens thats a plus for us, because we’d add to our depth, and it would keep him fresher in the rest of the kicking game.” Nguyen led the Griz and was nationally ranked in both punt and kickoff returns. He was 12th in punt returns (12.79 ypr) and 38th in kickoffs (24.81 ypr). Johnson and Sambrano should also contribute in the return game. Senior strong safety Andrew Badger McCord missed the last month or so of the season due to an injury and is back at free safety. Sophomore Stephen Rominger will also be in the mix, and freshman Justin Whitted is vying for playing time there too. Senior Andrew Badger appeared to emerge as the starter at strong safety after spring drills, and sophomore Bo Tully will see action there as well. “Those are two guys (McCord and Badger) we are counting on, and you know thats prob ably a group (safeties) that we might play by committee,” Pflugrad said. “Rominger had a solid spring, and Bo Tully had some really good days too.” Highly touted recruits Matt Hermanson (Washington High School, Sioux Falls S.D.) and Conner Lebsock (Skyview High School, Billings, Mont.) are both expected to compete for playing time. “I like Matt Hermanson and Conner Leb sock coming in as true freshmen, and were going to give them an opportunity to play,” he said. “Justin Whitted came in in January; he had some solid days this spring as well. We should have some depth there, which should help us in our special teams play.” “As I said, our secondary is the big question mark for us,” he continued. “Who

That trio of tough match-ups is followed with a trip to Sac State, a 6-5 team that returns 16 starters. “This is the first time that Montana has played an SEC team, and there are probably reasons why that’s never happened before,” Pflugrad said. “But it is on the schedule, so let’s go do it. It is a very challenging schedule. We will probably not be favored in our first four games, and I dont know the last time that any team from this program could say that. “It’s a major, major task for us those first four games, not to mention several more after that, he continued. When you consider we play the likes of Idaho State, Northern Arizona, and Montana State on the road, then the sched ule looks even more daunting. “The way our schedule has been upgraded, not only this year, but in years to come, it’s go ing to be an amazing challenge not only this season, but also in the future,” Pflugrad said. “We have to come out with guns blazing and have to know what we are doing as a staff much better than we did last year. That’s is true on offense, defense, and in special teams.”

Mike Bashor photo

Quoting Coach Pflugrad: “He’s really got it all. He's got the size to play safety. We played him a little bit on offense last year as a receiver and we probably should have played him there more. He's done a outstanding job fo r us the past three years. He's a lock-down corner; he's physical; and he tackles very well. A lot of teams go awayfrom him, so he doesn't get the opportunities to be a ball-hawk and get as many picks like a lot of other corners in our league do. I f we can get him some help on the other side o f the field it should help Trumaine get even better stats than he did last year, although his stats last season were impressive.''

Quoting Coach Pflugrad: “When you’re co-MVP with Chase Reynolds and the great career that he had here, that’s saying a lot. Brody is kind of going that way with his career. He has the tremendous ability to play both spots as a punter and a kicker, plus he kicks off for us too. Some teams have three different players handling those duties. To be drafted in the first round in the CFL, what an honor for him. That tells you what they think about him up north. He will have his chances there after his senior season. However, I think he’s going to get a chance to play in the National Football League if he’s as consistent as he was last year. He’s in good condition and can handle all of those duties, and he becomes very marketable by doing all three things.”

The first time I remember see ing that speed really showing was at Sac State in ‘09 when he took a screen pass and just p ut his foot on the ground and went fast, and no one was even close, and you could see him pull away from everybody. There’s occasions in which he has been able to show that speed. “Unfortunately, he has been hampered by injuries. When he’s healthy I don’t know iftheres anyone in our league who can run with him. That top-end speed is really nice to have, not only as a receiver, but we want to get him more involved in the punt return game, and in the kickoff return game, and other areas on special teams. We’re going to try to get him on the field more than he has the last three years, although we have to be cautious there, because he’s had some injuries that have cost him games.” RECEIVING Year G/S 2008 10/0 2009 15/12 2010 9/9 TOTAL 34/21

GAME 2 - AT CAL POLY 35, MONTANA 33 SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIF - The Cal Poly Mustangs built a 15-point fourth quarter lead and used late turnovers for the upset win over the topranked Grizzlies. Montana had two chances for a comeback win in the final few minutes. Cal Poly defensive lineman Kyle Murphy forced Montana quarter back Justin Roper to fumble and recovered at the Montana 35 with 1:55 left to end a UM attempt to get into field goal range. The Griz defense then forced the Mustangs to punt, and Montana had 1:06 left and the ball at its own 2-yard line. The Griz only picked up 24 more yards before Poly linebacker Marty Mohamed picked off Roper in the closing seconds to end Montanas last gasp. The game was knotted 14-14 at the half, and after the Mustangs’ James Langford missed a 50yard field goal attempt wide left, Montana put together two drives to set up Brody McKnight field goals of 27 and 28 yards to give Montana a 6-point (20-14) lead in the third quarter. At that point, everything went wrong for the Grizzlies. Cal Poly quarterback Doug Shumway, who replaced starter Tony Smith, used his first pass attempt of the game to hit a wide open David Mahr for a 83-yard touchdown strike to wrap up a 3-play, 95-yard drive. On Montana’s next play, Cal Poly cornerback Scottie Cordier stepped in front of Andrew Selle’s pass at the Montana 45 and weaved untouched into the end zone. The pick-six gave the Mustangs a 28-20 lead going into the fourth quarter. Cal Poly put together a 9-play drive that cov ered 62 yards and consumed 4:11 at the begin ning of the fourth quarter. Shumway hit Domi nique Johnson in the end zone from 25 yards out to make it 35-20 with 10:40 left to play. Down 15 (35-20), Montana began coming back. Roper went 5-for-8 throwing on the next Griz drive, including a 21-yard pass to Antwon Moutra and a 24-yarder to Sam Gratton before he closed out the 9-play, 76-yard drive with a 5-yard scoring strike to Chase Reynolds to draw it to 3527 with 8:13 remaining. Severin Campbell then forced a Shumway fumble that Bryan Waldhauser recovered at the Poly 13. A penalty pushed Montana back, but the Griz found the end zone on a 19-yard Roper-toGratton touchdown pass. With 5:34, Montana had a chance to tie the game, but Roper’s pass at tempt to Sambrano sailed high through the back of the end zone. Montana had a 465-340 advantage in total offense, including a huge 416-178 lead in pass ing yardage. The option-based Mustangs led in rushing yardage 162-49. Montana was flagged ten times for 87 yards, while Poly had four penalties for 30 yards. The Griz turned over the ball four times, and Poly coughed it up twice. Roper threw for 229 yards while going 18for-26 with two touchdowns and an interception. Sambrano caught a career and game-high eight

- AT EASTERN WASHINGTON 36, MONTANA 27

CHENEY, WASH. — The 18th-ranked East ern Washington Eagles scored nine unanswered points in the final seconds of the game to register a 36-27 victory over sixth-ranked Montana in the inaugural game on the red turf of Roos Field. Montana had tied the game 27-27 with 1:33 to play on a 22-yard field goal by junior kicker Brody McKnight. The Griz had advanced the ball from their own 15-yard line to the EWU five in that drive. But with a first-and-goal at the Eagle fiveyard line, Montanas drive stalled and they had to settle for McKnights game-tying field goal. But EWU answered back, as the Eagles drove 50 yards and regained the lead 30-27 on a 31-yard field goal by Mike Jarrett with just four seconds re maining in the contest. On the following kick-off, EWU was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, leaving Montana one more desperation play. Montana quarterback Justin Roper had the ball knocked out of his passing hand on that final play, and Eagle defensive lineman Renard Williams returned the loose ball for a final touchdown as time expired. Both teams jumped out to quick starts in the first quarter combining for three touchdowns in 52 seconds. Griz junior cornerback Trumaine Johnson scored the first points of the game on a 53-yard in terception return. Montana recovered the follow ing muffed kick return, and then scored a touch down the next play on a reverse to receiver Jabin Sambrano, and UM led 14-0 with 8:10 to go in the opening quarter. Montanas 14-7 lead did not last into the sec ond quarter, as EWUs explosive running back, Taiwan Jones, broke free for a 72-yard touchdown run tying the game 14-14 with 8:02 left in the sec ond stanza. Montana responded with a 14-play, 96-yard drive, resulting in a 20-yard touchdown reception by Antwon Moutra to give UM a 21-14 halftime lead. EWU got its first lead in the third quarter when Darriell Beaumonte blocked Sean Wren’s punt and returned it for a touchdown, giving the Eagles a 24-21 advantage.

GAME 4 - A T M O N T A N A 2 8 , S A C R A M E N T O ST A T E 2 5 MISSOULA, MONTANA - Senior quarter back Justin Roper threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Bryce Carver with 9:34 left in the game, and the defense played a stel lar second half to lead the 14th-ranked Grizzlies. A record Washington-Grizzly Stadium crowd of 25,965 watched Montana win its 18th consecu tive Homecoming contest, but it wasn’t easy. The attendance eclipsed the mark of 25,811 set in the Weber State game last season. The Grizzlies once again were plagued by turnovers and sketchy special teams play, as they lost three fumbles and were picked off once, and had a punt blocked. The Hornets had the ball three times after the Roper-to-Carver go ahead TD, but had two threeand-outs, and then when Griz junior cornerback Trumaine Johnson picked off a pass by Sac State quarterback Jeff Fleming on a desperation fourthand-18 situation, the Grizzlies had the win. The Griz “D” held the Hornets to eight total yards on their last three offensive series. Montanas defense held Sac State to 70 total yards (24 rushing and 46 passing) and two first downs in the second half. The Grizzlies gained 142 second-half yards (103 passing and 39 rushing), and picked up nine first downs. The Hornets took a 25-21 lead early (14:56) in the fourth quarter when Fleming hooked up with tight end Matt Carter for the second time, this one coming from three yards out. After the Hornets re-gained the lead for the fourth time in the game, Roper, who had replaced Andrew Selle who was injured late in the second quarter, engineered a 12-play, 68-yard drive which culminated with the 29-yard scoring strike to Carver, which proved to be the winning points. Sac took an early 3-0 lead on a 50-yard field goal by Chris Diniz. UM went ahead 7-3 on a 42yard TD pass from Selle to halfback Chase Reyn olds. A 42-yard field goal by Diniz cut the Griz lead to 7-6 in the final scoring in the opening quarter. The Hornets regained the lead (13-7) early (11:52) in the second quarter on a 4-yard Flemingto-Carter scoring pass. That touchdown was set up when Sac State defensive back Joe Larche blocked a Brody McKnight punt, and the Hornets got the ball on the UM 11-yard line. It took Sac just two plays to convert the turnover into six points. The Grizzlies went up 14-13 on their next possession, as Roper connected with wide receiver Antwon Moutra for a 54-yard touchdown pass with 9:40 to go in the second stanza. The Hornets took a 16-14 lead with 1:53 to go until half on a 28yard field goal by Diniz and took that two-point edge into their locker room at halftime. The Griz “D” was dominant in the final 30 minutes, holding Sac State to just 70 total yards and a pair of first downs, and Roper and the offense did just enough, as UM out-scored the Hor nets 14-9 in the final two quarters. One of the keys to the win was holding Sacs outstanding junior halfback, Bryan Hilliard, to just

GAME 6 - A T M O N T A N A 4 7 , ID A H O ST A T E 2 8 MISSOULA, MONTANA - University of Montana running back Chase Reynolds became the leading touchdown scorer in school history as the host Grizzlies defeated the visiting Bengals In a Big Sky Conference game in UM s WashingtonGrizzly Stadium (the attendance 25,568 is the ninth largest is stadium history). Reynolds, a senior from Drummond, scored on a 3-yard run early in the third quarter, giving him a school-record 54th career touchdown (48 rushing and six receiving). He broke the record of 53 total touchdowns set by running back Lex Hilliard from 2003-07.

Montana then scored on a 6-yard scoring pass from Roper to halfback Dan Moore (his first career receiving touchdown); McKnights fourth field goal (33 yards); and the Johnson-to-Larson hook-up, and took a commanding 47-14 advan tage with 10:37 left to play. ISU’s final two scores came in the return game, as Tavoy Moore broke loose for a 100-yard kickoff return for a TD on the ensuing kickoff af ter Larsons TD grab, and then busted free on a punt return for an 84-yard touchdown with 1:42 left in the contest. Roper passed for a career-high 319 yards, going 28-of-42-l for two scores. Johnson, a true freshman who was activated the previous week at Northern Colorado, was 7-of-9-0 for 19 yards, and had the TD pass to Larson.

MISSOULA, MONTANA - University of Montana running back Chase Reynolds became the leading touchdown scorer in school history as the host Grizzlies defeated the visiting Bengals In a Big Sky Conference game in UM’s WashingtonGrizzly Stadium (the attendance 25,568 is the ninth largest is stadium history). Reynolds, a senior from Drummond, scored on a 3-yard run early in the third quarter, giving him a school-record 54th career touchdown (48 rushing and six receiving). He broke the record of 53 total touchdowns set by running back Lex Hilliard from 2003-07. The 12th-ranked Grizzlies dominated the Bengals and took a commanding 47-14 lead with 10:37 left on a 15-yard touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Jordan Johnson to senior wide receiver Jeff Larson, the former with his first career TD throw, and the latter with his first ca reer touchdown reception. Montana scored 20 unanswered points to start the game on a pair of field goals by junior kicker Brody McKnight and a 17-yard scoring pass from senior quarterback Justin Roper to sophomore wide-out Sam Gratton, along with a “trick play” - a Reynolds to Roper halfback pass that covered seven yards. ISU finally got on the board on a 10-play, 80yard drive which culminated with a 1-yard touch down run by fullback Jacob Hutton. That made it 20-7 Grizzlies with 2:30 to go until intermission. With three seconds left until halftime McKnight tacked on his third field goal of the first half, and Montana took a 23-7 lead at the break. Reynolds started the scoring in the second half with his record-breaking touchdown, giving Montana a 30-7 lead with 10:19 to go in the third quarter. The Bengals’ second and final TD on offense came on an 8-yard pass from senior quarterback Russel Hill to junior wide receiver Kelvin Krosch, cutting the Griz lead to 30-14 with 4:46 remain ing in the third stanza. Montana then scored on a 6-yard scoring pass from Roper to halfback Dan Moore (his first career receiving touchdown); McKnight’s fourth field goal (33 yards); and the Johnson-to-Larson hook-up, and took a commanding 47-14 advan tage with 10:37 left to play. ISU’s final two scores came in the return game, as Tavoy Moore broke loose for a 100-yard kickoff return for a TD on the ensuing kickoff af ter Larsons TD grab, and then busted free on a punt return for an 84-yard touchdown with 1:42 left in the contest. Roper passed for a career-high 319 yards, going 28-of-42-l for two scores. Johnson, a true freshman who was activated the previous week at Northern Colorado, was 7-of-9-0 for 19 yards, and had the TD pass to Larson. Thirteen different Griz players caught passes, led by sophomore Bryce Carver (6-29-0), junior

MISSOULA, MONTANA - Wide receiver C.J. Atkins scored on a 1-yard pass from quar terback Justin Roper with five seconds left in the game, as the Grizzlies edged the Lumberjacks 2421 .

The 22nd-ranked Lumberjacks (4-3/2-2 Big Sky) had regained the lead (21-17) with 1:59 left to play on an 11-yard scoring run by halfback Giovannie Dixon. NAU tried a two-point con version after Dixon’s go-ahead touchdown, but a pass by quarterback Chase Stangel fell incom plete. Montana won its fifth game in a row, and scored its game-winning points in the final sec onds for the second straight week. Last Saturday Griz kicker Brody McKnight booted a 25-yard field goal as time expired in a 23-21 win over Portland State. The victory over NAU, UM s sixth of the year, gave the Grizzlies their 25th consecutive winning season. Atkins scored his first career TD, UM’s only points in the first half, on a 48-yard run in the opening quarter. NAU running back Zach Bauman knotted the score at 7-7 with 44 seconds left until halftime on a 1-yard run. The Jacks got two more points when referee Jim Lenau called a safety after Griz zly returner Peter Nguyen had stepped out of the back on the end zone after catching the ball on the ensuing kickoff, making it 9-7 at half. The Griz took a 10-9 lead on a 38-yard field goal by McKnight. Montana boosted it lead to 17-9 when Roper connected with junior wide re ceiver Antwon Moutra on a 28-yard touchdown pass with 8:03 remaining in the third quarter. The Jacks whittled the Griz lead down to two points (17-15) when Stangel hit Nick Larson, a 6-foot-8 senior tight end, on a 1-yard TD pass, and NAU s two-point try failed. NAU s final drive was impressive. The Jacks went 67 yards on nine plays, with Stangel com pleting a pair of passes for 27 yards, Bauman rushing six times for 29 yards, and Dixon cap ping it off with his 11-yard touchdown run. Montana’s final drive was equally as impres sive. First Nguyen had a 43-yard kickoff return, giving the Griz the ball on their own 44. Roper completed six passes in the final drive - three of them going to Moutra, and he also had a key 15yard run, picking up a big first down on a 3rdand-10 and advancing the ball to the NAU 15. After Roper’s 15-yard gain, he completed back-to-back passes to Moutra (8 yards) and Reynolds (6 yards), making it first-and-goal for Montana from the NAU 1-yard line. Then Reyn olds was stopped short on a couple of runs, but the Griz got another first down on a defensive holding call, and the next play after the penalty Roper lofted a pass to Atkins who wrestled the ball away from the NAU defensive back for the game-winner.

OGDEN, UTAH - Running back Vai Tafuna, a 6-1,245-pound senior, rushed for 124 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Wildcats to a key Big Sky Conference victory over the seventhranked Grizzlies. It was the second loss in a row for Montana in Ogden, as they suffered their only regular-season loss there in 2008, 45-28. The setback halted a five-game winning streak by the Grizzlies, and knocked them out of a tie with Eastern Washington for first place in the Big Sky. Montana senior quarterback Justin Roper threw for three first-half touchdowns but also threw three second-half interceptions in the los ing effort. The Wildcats out-rushed Montana 259-111. The power running attack of WSU also gave the Wildcats a massive 40:28-19:32 edge in time-ofpossession and helped them convert 50-percent of their third down opportunities. Overall, the Griz led 261-129 in passing yards. WSU held a slim 388-372 yard edge in total offense. Roper was 22-of-38-3 for 261 yards and 3 TDs in the game, but was 4-of-ll-3 for 66 yards in the second half. Griz running back Chase Reynolds had 125 all-purpose yards — 71 on the ground on 14 car ries and 54 yards on six receptions. Wide receiver Jabin Sambrano, who has been slowed by an in jury, led all receivers with 70 yards and a touch down on four catches. The Grizzlies took advantage of a WSU fum ble to take the early lead. Sophomore linebacker Jordan Tripp recovered a fumble by quarterback Cameron Higgins at the WSU 7-yard line, and on the next play Roper hit Sambrano for a 7-yard touchdown. The Wildcats answered with two Tafuna rushing touchdowns. He had a 1-yard score with 3:21 left in the first quarter to finish off an 80-yard Wildcat drive, but the extra point was wide right. He followed that up with a 2-yard TD run with 7:20 left in the second quarter, giving Weber State a 13-7 lead. Montanas offense got hot at the end of the first half. Roper had TD throws of 11 yards to Sam Gratton with 2:08 to go and a 12-yarder to Bryce Carver with 26 seconds left. The pair of TDs gave Montana a 21-13 halftime lead. The turnaround in the contest came on UM’s first possession of the third quarter. After the Grizzlies drove to the WSU 17-yard line, Roper was picked off on a first-and-10 by defensive back David Webb who returned it 29 yards to the WSU 37-yard line. The pick set up an 11-play drive that consumed 5:52 and ended with a Tafuna 1-yard TD run. Instead of taking a 28-13 lead, Montana held a slim 21-19 advantage. That pick started a lop-sided second half for WSU. The Grizzlies had 22 plays for 121 yards and five first downs in the final 30 minutes, com pared to the Wildcats’ 43 plays for 170 yards and

Bo Bolen’s two-point run gave the Wildcats the lead for good, 27-21, with 2:07 left in the third quarter. WSU had the ball 11:09 in the third stanza, converted 5-of-6 third downs (UM was 0-of-0), and out-scored the Griz 14-0. The teams traded punts to begin the fourth quarter, and on UM’s next possession Roper forced a third-down pass and safety Jordan Brown picked it off and returned it 47 yards to

GAME 10 - A T M O N T A N A 2 7 , N O R T H D A K O T A 17 MISSOULA, MONTANA - Senior running back Chase Reynolds rushed for 173 yards and three touchdowns and broke the school record for scoring runs in the win. Reynolds’ three touchdown runs gave him 51 in his career, breaking the record of 50 set by former halfback and Kalispell native Lex Hilliard from 2003-07. Saturday’s game was a non-league contest, but North Dakota, along with Cal Poly, UC Davis, and Southern Utah will join the Big Sky Confer ence in 2012. Montana took an early lead and scored the only points of the first quarter when senior quar terback Justin Roper hit junior wide receiver An twon Moutra for a 58-yard touchdown pass, giv ing UM a 7-0 lead with just three seconds left in the opening stanza. It looked like the Grizzlies might have the game under control when Reynolds scored his first touchdown of the game on a 12-yard run with 12:28 left in the second quarter, giving Montana a 13-0 lead, but Dominique Hawkins returned the ensuing kickoff 99 yards to the UM 1-yard line, and running back Mitch Sutton scored on a 1-yard run, and the Fighting Sioux cut the Griz lead to 13-7 with 12:10 remaining until halftime. UND had another big play right before halftime, this time by its defense, as senior nose tackle Ty Boyle tipped a Roper pass, intercepted the ball, and then returned it to Montana’s 7-yard line. The Grizzly defense held, though, and UND settled for a 29-yard field goal by Zeb Miller. That made the score 13-10, Montana, at halftime. The Fighting Sioux took their only lead of the afternoon at the 11:05 mark of the third quarter, as Sutton broke off right tackle and raced down the right sideline for a 50-yard touchdown run, and UND led 17-13. However, those proved to be the final points of the game by UND. The Griz “D” and the Drummond native Reynolds were the keys to the win for Montana in a second half that was dominated by the home team. Reynolds carried the ball 27 times and aver aged 6.4 yards a tote. Sophomore halfback Gerald Kemp added 50 yards on nine runs. Roper was 14-of-22-l for 231 yards and a touchdown. Sambrano had a game-high 4 catches along with 74 yards, while Reynolds had 4 grabs for 39 yards, and Moutra caught 3 passes for a game-high 100 yards. The Griz defense was led by sophomore line backer Jordan Tripp with a game-high 13 tackles and a sack. Senior strong safety Erik Stoll and junior linebacker Caleb McSurdy had 12 tackles apiece. Junior linebacker Alex Shaw and junior end Ryan Fetherston each had a sack. Sutton rushed 12 times for 76 yards and two TDs.

Reynolds rushed 15 times for 117 yards (7.8yard average) and two touchdowns in the second half. After Sutton’s go-ahead TD, the Grizzlies re gained the lead for good thanks to Reynolds, who on the next series had a huge 51-yard run to the UND 14-yard line, then two plays later he scored on a 14-yard run, giving the Griz a 20-17 lead with 9:49 left in the third quarter. Montana added an insurance touchdown on its third possession in the fourth quarter, with Reynolds scoring his record-breaking touch-

down on a 4-yard run. The key play in the drive that led to Reynold’s record-breaking TD run was a 55-yard pass completion from Roper to junior wide receiver Jabin Sambrano. That hook up moved the ball to the UND 12-yard line, and two plays later Reynolds scored his 51st rushing touchdown.

GAME 11 - MONTANA STATE 2 1, AT MONTANA 16 MISSOULA, MONTANA - The Grizzlies shut their intrastate rivals in the second half, but that was not enough as the Bobcats won in front of a Washington-Grizzly Stadium record crowd of 26,019. MSU tied Eastern Washington (9-2/7-1) for the league title, but the Cats earned the automatic Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth thanks to their 30-7 win over the Eagles earlier this season. EWU received one of the FCS’s 10 at-large playoff berths and went on to win its first-ever FCS national title. The Grizzlies were denied a play-off berth, ending their record streak at 17 in a row. The Grizzlies had won or shared the previ ous 12 Big Sky championships, dating back to the 1998 season. The loss over-shadowed a gutsy effort by Montanas record-setting halfback, Chase Reyn olds, who rushed for a season-high 180 yards. Montana dominated MSU in the second half out-gaining them 219 to 57 in total yards, and picking up eight more first downs (12 to 4). But, the home-standing Grizzlies managed only two points of their own in the final half, those points coming thanks to an errant snap on a MSU punt. The 8th-ranked Bobcats opened the scoring on the first possession of the game, as quarter back Denarius McGhee threw a 16-yard TD pass to fellow redshirt freshmen and wide receiver Tanner Bleskin, giving MSU a 7-0 lead. The 11th/14th-ranked Grizzlies tied the game up just seconds later, as Reynolds scored on a 59-yard touchdown run in Montanas first play from scrimmage, knotting the score at 7-7 MSU’s next possession culminated with a 9-yard scoring pass from McGhee to running back CJ Palmer, giving the Cats a 14-7 lead with 3:57 left in the first quarter. Montana scored on its next possession, with senior quarterback Justin Roper scoring on a 6-yard run with 16 seconds remaining until halftime, tying the score at 14-all. But MSU scored on its third straight possession, running back Orenzo Davis rushing for a 17-yard TD to give MSU a 21-14 lead with 9:18 left in the second quarter, which proved to be the final points tallied by the Cats. The Griz had several opportunities to score in the second half, but were intercepted once at the MSU 24-yard line, and lost two fumbles in side the Bobcats’ five-yard line. The only second-half points in the contest came with 4:41 left in the third quarter, as a low snap from center skidded by MSU punter Rory Perez and went all the way back to the end zone, and Perez scooped the ball up and swatted it out of the end zone for a safety. It was Montanas first regular-season home loss since a 34-20 setback to EWU in 2005. Reynolds rushed 21 times for 180 yards and a TD. In UM’s last two games he rushed for 353 yards and four touchdowns.

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 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.

T he University of Montana led the Big Sky Conference in attendance in 2 0 10 with an average of 25,448 fans per home game in Washing ton-Grizzly Stadium. Montana finished the regular season second in the nation in total at tendance and average attendance. Montana drew 152,589 fans to its six home games. Appalachian State led the FCS with 25,717 per contest.

The Big Sky sponsors championships in 14 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. The 2011-12 season will mark the 24th year that the Big Sky Confer ence will sponsor championships in women’s sports. The former Moun tain West Conference existed from 1982-88, sponsoring championships for women’s sports at the same institutions the Big Sky had men’s pro grams. 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 17th 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 Big Sky will be a nine-team football league in 2011 but expand to 13 football-playing members in 2012. North Dakota and Southern Utah will join the Big Sky on July 1, 2012 as full members. Cal Poly and UC Davis will begin play as football-only members in 2012.

The Big Sky Conference enters its 49th year of athletic competition in 2011-12. 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 FCS. The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter mem bers - Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber Doug Fullerton Ron Loghry Jaynee Nadolski Jon Kasper State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the Commissioner Associate Assistant Assistant league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Arizona. dfu"erton@bigsky Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was replaced by Nevada, which gave the conference.org rloghry@bigsky jnadolski@bigsky jkasper@bigsky league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987 with conference.org conference.org conference.org the addition of Eastern Washington. The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada departed and put the Big Sky back to eight teams.

Frank Bean from the Univer sity of Wisconsin was selected as coach. A game with Anaconda failed to materialize, therefore, the only game scheduled in 1900 was with Montana State College. “The unsuccessful ( 19 0 1) sea son was due to the lack of experi enced players. We had no experi enced quarterback.” (Kaimin, student newspaper)

1899(1-2) Prospects for a first class team were not very bright at the start of the 1899 season when Guy Cleveland took over the team. Scarce any of the old players were back and positions had to be filled with untried material.” “In the first game against the Anaconda Athletic Club, the coach, Cleveland, played right halfback. He made the two touchdowns and kicked goal both times, to win for the varsity.” -T h e Redbook
