2015 Montana Football Outlook The University of Montana football squad opened its fall drills with the season’s first practice session in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The term “rebuilding year” may not be applicable to the 2015 edition of the Griz, with variables that include a new coaching staff and the loss of several all-conference caliber players, this new season comes about with an air of excitement, along with a few questions. “I’m just excited,” said first-year head coach Bob Stitt. “I’ve said that a million times, but: Are we going to walk out there and see a better team than we saw at the end of April? That’s what I’m excited about.” Since being hired in December, Coach Stitt and his staff have worked to install a new offensive scheme. Naturally, there will be a lot of information for the squad to take on board in this year’s condensed fall camp, concluded by the Aug. 29 “FCS Kickoff Game” on ESPN against four-time defending national champion North Dakota State. After a summer of individual voluntary workouts, Coach Stitt believes his team is leaner and meaner than he has seen since arriving in Missoula. “Talking to (strength & conditioning coach) Matt Nicholson, we’ve improved leaps and bounds in the summer as far as strength, power, and conditioning. I just think with the progress we made, there’s no way we won’t be a better team than when we started spring ball,” said Stitt. Senior defensive end Tyrone Holmes might be case study number one for Coach Nicholson’s off-season progress, having purportedly added three inches to his vertical leap. That’s a gain you can’t ignore. According to Stitt, the added fitness will help the players during fall camp, allowing them to focus more on learning than getting in game-ready shape. “We really want to make sure our guys are physically and mentally fresh every day when they come to practice so we get quality in practice instead of just trying to squeeze too much in,” he said. To make things easier, Montana returns a robust 23 starters and 35 lettermen from a 9-5 team of a year ago that finished second place in the Big Sky Conference at 6-2. The 2014 Griz hosted San Diego in the first round of the FCS playoffs - upping its record total to 22 appearances. UM was ranked 13th in the nation in the Sports Network and 11th in the FCS Coaches’ final polls. The Grizzly offense returns 14 lettermen, while 18 defensive lettermen return, along with special teams players. On offense, the 2015 Griz will take the field under junior QB Brady Gustafson, who emerged as the signal caller of choice for Coach Stitt after a solid spring outing. The 6’7”, 235lb Billings native will fill the shoes of three-year starter Jordan Johnson, who sits third in career passing yards at Montana. Gustafson will get plenty of opportunities to throw the ball however, as Stitt prepares to roll out his “fly sweep” brand of attack that earned his Colorado School of Mines team astronomical offensive numbers. Key offensive returners for the Griz include senior wide receiver Jamaal Jones, who led the team in receiving last season with 1,044 total yards and eight TD’s. Junior John Nguyen will play a leading role in the rushing attack, averaging 8 yards per carry in 2014. Defensively, the Griz will need to replace the NFL-bound Zack Wagenmann, who finished the 2014 season as Montana’s career sack leader (37.5), tackles for loss (53) and forced fumbles (11). Holmes looks to be the man to fill Wags’ big shoes. A starter in all 14 of Montana’s games last year on the defensive line, Holmes put in 66 tackles (14 of which were tackles-for-loss), and collected 7.5 sacks for a loss of 42 yards.

washington-grizzly stadium

The Home of the Grizzlies

The 2015 football season will be the 29th that the Montana Grizzlies will play their home games in Washington-Grizzly Stadium/at John Hoyt Field (capacity 25,217). The Grizzlies led the division in average attendance in 2014 with 23,777 in seven home games. James Madison finished second, averaging 19,816 in six home games. Montana has averaged more than 22,000 fans a game in the last 12 seasons in a row (starting in 2003). The Grizzlies broke their all-time attendance record last season, as they drew 26,352 fans to see the Griz-Bobcat game on Nov. 22. The Griz have topped the 26,000 mark five other times: as they drew 26,293 fans to a 30-6 opening-season home win over Appalachian State in 2013 and again in 2013 against the Eastern Washington Eagles (26,082), in 2012 versus Montana State (26,210), in 2011 (26,066) also against the Eagles, and in 2010 with 26,019 also against MSU. UM led the FCS in average attendance in 2005, 2006, and 2009, and was ranked second in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2012-13. Montana’s 9-5 mark last season was its 28th winning season in a row over the past 29 years (since the Griz have been playing in Washington-Grizzly Stadium). The first game played in WGS was on Oct. 18, 1986, a 38-31 come-from-behind win over Idaho State. Since that first contest the Grizzlies have an overall record of 180-26. Over the past eight seasons the Grizzlies are 52-8 at home in regular-season games. Montana has set numerous Big Sky Conference attendance records. The Griz hold the standards for single-season, regular-season home attendance average (25,652 in 2009): and single-

season, regular-season total home attendance (174,236, seven games, 2008); and largest crowd for a non-conference home game (25,698 versus Western Washington, Sept. 5, 2009). UM also holds the league record for the largest crowd at a non-conference road game of 94,661, set at Tennessee in 2011.

No Place Like Home

Not only has Montana won 180 games in its 28 seasons of playing in Washington-Grizzly Stadium, but it has gone undefeated 11 times. Starting the 1994 season, the Griz reeled off 30 straight home victories. The win streak began with a 41-7 win over Sonoma State on Sept. 3 and ended with a 40-35 loss to EWU on Oct. 18, 1997. Montana’s 30 consecutive home wins are the fifth longest streak in FCS history.

Renovation and Construction Plans Began in 2014

With support from the university administration and private donors, the athletic facility improvement plan includes the following: A new academic center that will be the first of these facility upgrades with construction scheduled to end in the summer of 2015. This facility will provide student-athletes with ample space to study and meet regularly with their academic advisors. The lower level will remain a lobby to accommodate fire code restrictions for the Adams Center. The next priority will be to construct a new building next to the Grizzly Pool adjacent to the southwest corner of Washington-Grizzly Stadium. This building will house a new studentathlete weight room, football locker room, football lounge and football meeting rooms. It will connect to the Adams Center and allow the football team to continue to access the field through -6-

the existing player tunnel. The weight room and locker room will sit below grade and make up the first level while the second will include a mezzanine for the weight room, the football lounge and meeting rooms as well, and a wider concourse in the football stadium complete with additional rest rooms and concession stands. After the completion of the new weight room/locker room building, the space where these were previously housed will be renovated into multiple locker rooms for the sports of men’s basketball, men’s tennis and men’s track and field as well as a new larger, central location for the athletic equipment room. The addition of locker rooms will also open up space to help the university host more outside events such as concerts and high school tournaments.

New Lights For 2012

New lights were installed in WGS in the spring of 2012. When the Big Sky Conference signed a television contract with ROOT SportsTM, each school in the league was required to install lights in their stadiums. The new lights, installed by Musco Lighting based in Oskaloosa, Iowa, made their debut on Saturday, April 14, 2012, at UM’s annual spring game. The lights are of the highest quality available, and feature “horizontal footcandles” in the 120125 range, which means the Washington-Grizzly Stadium has the ability to host all levels of NCAA televised football playoff games. It also includes lighting in the tailgate/parking areas. The project cost was approximately $950,000, and includes a 25-year or 20,000 hours service agreement.


washington-grizzly stadium 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 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 2008 provided 375 Grizzly Scholarship Association priority seats, as well as 1,150 non-priority seats, and increased the current seating capacity of Washington-Grizzly Stadium to 25,217. A new Sprinturf playing surface was also installed with the expansion in 2008. The second expansion occurred in the spring and summer of 2003, and approximately 4,000 seats were added to the north end zone section, boosting the stadium capacity to 23,183, with the cost at 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 (weather-permitting, which allowed for seating on the grass in the end zones, which made the capacity around 15,000). The cost of that expansion was about $2.5 million. GrizVision, a video and message center, was added in 2002. GrizVision displays game statistics, player profiles, digital replays, and shots of the crowd. The screen 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.

Stadium History & Namesake

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. Dennis Washington was brought in early in the process to be among the small group of visionaries who would examine what was possible with the new facility and who better than the man who started with a small loan and a bulldozer in the mid-1960s, turned it into Washington Construction and eventually into the global Washington Companies? There are 49 private boxes located on the east and west sides of the stadium, and they are individually decorated and furnished.

Washington-Grizzly Champions Center

A new generation of Washingtons, Dennis and Phyllis’s sons Kyle and Kevin, on behalf of the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation, gifted $7 million to the University of Montana’s Department of Athletics to be used for the $14 million Washington-Grizzly Champions Center. It is the largest gift to the Department of Athletics in its history. The remaining $7 million will come from private sources. Over the years the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation has been one of the university’s most generous benefactors. The foundation has given more than $150 million to various causes since it was established in 1988.

Kevin and Kyle Washington and their families are honored at halftime of the Sacramento State game Nov. 1, 2014 for their generous donation to the Champions Center as Kent Haslam, UM athletic director, UM President Royce Engstrom and Montana Commissioner of Higher Education Clay Christian look on.

Intercollegiate Athletics Facility Improvement Plan

Infrastructure and Student-Athlete Success Go Preliminary Rendering Hand-In-Hand Student-athletes know what to look for when visiting a college campus. In order to recruit the best student-athletes, focus on their academic and athletic welfare, and continue the success UM Athletics has enjoyed over the many years, the university must improve these vital “infrastructure” facilities. Upgrades for these facilities have been identified as a top priority by the athletic department and the university president. The existing academic center is undersized at 400 square-feet and can only serve a small number of the 300-plus total student-athletes. The weight room has limited space and is currently split between three separate rooms, making the working area difficult to supervise, unsafe, and ineffective. Meeting space is currently limited to one small room and a student-athlete lounge doesn’t exist. The women’s locker room facilities have recently been improved. The men’s locker room was renovated in 1996, and a remodel is beyond over-

The new Grizzly Student-Athlete Academic Center is scheduled to open in the fall of 2015.

Facility Needs for Grizzly Athletics are Not Always Visible to the Public

On the surface the University of Montana athletic venues are among the best in the Big Sky Conference and the Football Championship Subdivision. Dahlberg Arena, Washington-Grizzly Stadium, West Auxiliary Gym and South Campus Field have hosted legendary competitions in their respective sports. Without a doubt, our fans and student-athletes are in good shape come game day. Washington-Grizzly Stadium rivals many of the larger stadiums as the most intimidating place for a visiting player to step foot. When the Griz burst out of the tunnel they are greeted by the roar of more than 25,000 fans – a sound that tests the nerves of the most seasoned players. Everyone in attendance gets to witness the pageantry and excitement that is Grizzly football. However, very few fans get the opportunity to go behind the scenes and see those areas that matter most in the everyday life of the student-athlete – the training, practice, and service facilities. It is the weight room, academic center, meeting rooms and locker rooms where all student-athletes spend the vast majority of their time. It is where Montana Grizzlies are made! In these critical areas, UM is significantly lacking and pales in comparison to the image portrayed by the thundering stadium on those glorious fall Saturdays. Construction for the Washington-Grizzly Champions Center will begin in 2015. A state-ofthe art all-sport weight room facility along with a football locker room are scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2017.

Spotlight shines on academics and in the community Academics

Montana’s student-athletes had a 2015 spring-semester GPA of 3.14, with 10 of the department’s 13 programs having team GPAs of 3.0 or better. Seven of those had term GPAs of 3.2 or higher. Eighteen of Montana’s 308 student-athletes, who on average completed a load of 14.4 credits, had a spring-semester GPA of 4.0, 75 made the Dean’s List, and 208 had a term GPA of 3.0 or better. The UM student body as a whole had a 2.92 term GPA while taking 12.3 credits. Derek Crittenden, who will be a redshirt senior on the Griz football team in the fall and is a chemistry and mathematics major, won the men’s President’s Award for having the highest GPA over the same two previous two semesters. The defensive end won the award for the fourth straight year, and with a cumulative GPA of 4.0, he has made it possible for anyone willing to put in the time to join him in winning the President’s Award but impossible to supplant him.

Community Service

The University of Montana student-athletes volunteer annually to support various organizations, community events and educational activities. We believe it is important to be invested in our great community and work diligently to extend a helping hand whenever possible. The Griz student-athletes have devoted over 3,100 hours of their time within Missoula and the surrounding communities this past 2014-2015 academic year. Griz in the Community is a program that enables student-athletes to have a holistic college experience by giving back to the surrounding community and the state of Montana. Studentathletes from every team have made over 1,000 appearances since the beginning of the program in 2008.

UM student-athletes have continued to participate and serve in various community events which provide local fans the opportunity to interact with the Griz, including: • American Red Cross • Children’s Museum Missoula • Grizzly Peak Retirement Community • Local Elementary and Middle Schools • Missoula Buddy Walk • Missoula Food Bank • Watson’s Children Shelter • YWCA

Not only do the Griz student-athletes participate in community service events but they make it a priority to take part in community engagement. The objective of community engagement is to build lasting relationships with organizations within the community. Reoccurring projects that the Griz student-athletes participate in include: • Active 6 • Flagship • Griz for Kidz Toy Drive • Habitat for Humanity • Missoula Food Bank Network • Super Grizzly Dip – Special Olympics

2015 Montana Coaching Staff Chad Germer

Run Game Coordinator/Offensive Line Veteran mentor Chad Germer is returning to his alma mater for the third time and will serve as the Grizzlies’ run game coordinator and also the coach of the offensive line. The 2015 season will be his 18th year of coaching at the college level. Germer (pronounced “JUR-mur”) came back to Montana from UNLV, where he coached under former Griz mentor Bobby Hauck for the past five seasons (2010-14). He returned to Montana and coached for one season in 2009 and joined Hauck’s staff the following year at UNLV. He coached second team All-Mountain West honoree and four-year starter Brett Boyko, who became the first Rebel offensive lineman to be honored by the league since 2004.

He also coached three-time honorable mention all-league center and Rimington Trophy Watch List selection Robert Waterman at UNLV. Germer’s lines helped produce the school’s all-time leading rusher as Tim Cornett finished with 3,733 yards, which is also the second-most in conference history. Prior to taking the position at UNLV, Germer spent six seasons coaching the offensive line at the University of Wyoming from 2003-08, working for former Griz head man Joe Glenn. He began his coaching career at Montana as a restricted earnings coach in 1998 and was elevated to full-time status the following season. He coached for the Grizzlies from 1998-2002.

LARAMIE, WYOMING – Montana gave Wyoming everything it wanted in the teams’ 2014 opener and had to endure two long delays due to lightning strikes which lasted a total of 57 minutes, losing 1712 to the FBS Cowboys in front of 25,243 fans in UW’s Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium. The game’s second lightning strike delay came with 13:28 to play and lasted 32 minutes, while the first came with about 12 minutes remaining in the halftime break, and it took 25 minutes. The game lasted a total of four hours and three minutes. The Griz made a run at the Cowboys late in the game, as quarterback Jordan Johnson threw a 16-yard TD pass to tight end Mike Ralston, cutting Wyoming’s lead to 17- 12. After the Johnson-toRalston TD hook-up, UM’s twopoint conversion try failed, and the Griz trailed by five points (17-12) with 8:20 left to play. The Cowboys went ahead 10-6 and took the lead for good with 5:10 to go in the third quarter on a 5-yard scoring run by junior halfback Shaun Wick. Wyoming upped its lead to 17-6 with 2:11 to go in the third period, when halfback C.J. May scored on a 58-yard run. UM took a 6-3 lead with 11:28 to go in that period on a 26-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Burke to fellow wide receiver Josh Janssen on an end-around play. Janssen’s first career catch and TD was set up by a sack and a forced fumble of UW quarterback Colby Kirkegaard by Griz defensive end Tyrone Holmes, and that fumble was recovered by tackle Trevor Rehm, giving UM possession on its own 36-yard line. UW got on the board first and scored the only points in the opening quarter on their first possession, a 12-play, 57-yard drive that took 5:59, and culminated it with a 41-yard field goal by senior kicker Stuart Williams. That made the score 3-0 UW at 7:17 left in the first quarter. Wyoming had a chance to regain the lead in the second stanza when Eric Nrzeocha blocked a punt by UM’s Stephen Shaw, which was recovered by Brian Hill on Montana’s 9-yard line with 2:09 to go until intermission.However the drive was halted when Griz junior linebacker Jeremiah Kose intercepted Kirkegaard’s pass in the end zone. Both defenses were stellar, as the Cowboys were limited to 301 total yards on 67 plays and the Grizzlies had 253 yards on 65 plays. Wyoming ended up with 17 first downs, to UM’s 12. The Cowboys rushed for 209 yards, while the Grizzlies gained 42. Wyoming had an edge in time of possession of 34:54 to 25:04. Halfback/receiver Travon Van had a career-high 9 catches for 66 yards. Wide receiver Ellis Henderson had 5 catches for 48 yards. Johnson completed 24-of 45 passes for 185 yards and one touchdown. Linebacker Kendrick Van Ackeren led the Griz with a game and career-high 14 tackles, while safety Matt Hermanson had 11, and junior linebacker Herbert Gamboa added 10. Senior defensive end Zack Wagenmann added 2 sacks and 7 tackles. Kose also had 7 tackles along with a pick. Kirkegaard was 13-21-1 for 92 yards. Wick rushed 15 times for 100 yards and a TD.

MISSOULA, MONTANA – Running back Travon Van scored four touchdowns on just six touches to lead the Grizzlies over the visiting Central Washington Wildcats in a non-league contest in UM’s 2014 home opener Saturday afternoon in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Van scored on touchdown runs of 31, 9, and 43, and also scored on a 85-yard pass reception. The Grizzlies (1-1) dominated from the out-set, scoring on five of their first six possessions. When Van hauled in the 85-yard pass from QB Shay Smithwick-Hann he upped Montana’s lead to 31-7 with four minutes to go in the second quarter. Montana jumped out to a 24-0 lead on Van’s 9-yard touchdown run with 13:10 to go in the second stanza. The key play in that scoring drive was a 23-yard hoop-up between Smith-Hann and receiver Jamaal Jones, and a 44-yard run by halfback Jordan Canada. The Griz scored 17 points in a row in the first quarter, starting with sophomore kicker Harrison Greenberg’s 29 -yard field goal. That was followed by Van’s 31-yard scoring run, and then redshirt freshman linebacker Tucker Schye scooped up a fumble and raced into the end zone for 46 yards out to give UM a 17-0 lead with 4:10 to go in the first stanza. CWU (0-1), a Division II team and member of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, got on the board with 10:06 remaining in the second quarter on a 13-yard pass from quarterback Jake Nelson to wide-out Kent McKinney, making the score 24-7, UM. Montana put the game out of reach with 22 seconds to go in the third quarter on a 22-yard run by halfback John Nguyen, which gave the home squad a 48-7 cushion. The Wildcats scored the final points of the game on a 22-yard run by running back Jordan Todd. Canada led the Grizzlies’ potent ground game with 15 carries for 96 yards. Van had just 3 totes for 83 yards, while Nguyen had 7 and rushed for 78 yards. Lorenzo Logwood, a true freshman from Oakland, California, made his UM debut today, and picked up 36 yards on 7 carries. Montana rushed 38 times for 298 yards and scored four TDs. Smithwick-Hann was an efficient 10-of-16-0 for 145 yards and a TD, and was sacked just once. Smithwick-Hann got the start because fellow senior signal-caller Jordan Johnson was unable to play because of an injury. Van had 3 catches for 70 yards, while Jones had 3 for 58. The Smithwick-Hann to Van 85-yard scoring pass was the fifth longest in school history. Defensive end Zack Wagenman led the stingy Griz defense with 9 tackles and a sack. Junior defensive end Tyrone Holmes had 2.5 tackles for loss. Senior free safety Matt Hermanson had an interception – the sixth of his career. The Griz limited CWU to 56 yards rushing on 31 carries, and had 3 sacks. Montana gave up just 273 total yards, and 117 of those came in the fourth quarter when the Griz defense was primarily playing with back-up players. Sixty-seven UM players saw action. Nelson was 25-of-37-1 for 217 yards and one score. Excluding his 32-yard TD run, Todd had 14 carries for 27 yards. Senior receiver Greg Logan led CWU with game-highs of 9 catches for 92 yards. The Wildcats’ top tackler was junior safety DeAndre Baines with 9 stops.

MISSOULA, MONTANA – The University of Montana’s Jordan Canada, Jordan Johnson, and Zack Wagenmann led the way as the Grizzlies defeated the University of South Dakota Coyotes 28-20 Saturday evening in front of a Washington-Grizzly Stadium record crowd of 26,303. Canada rushed 16 times for 114 yards, while Johnson passed for 2 touchdowns, and Wagenmann led a solid effort by the entire “D” with 3 sacks. The Grizzlies (2-1) led the entire game, and took a 21-10 lead when Johnson tossed a 14-yard scoring pass to Jamaal Jones with 2:22 left in that stanza. The Coyotes (1-2) trimmed UM’s lead to 21-13 early in the fourth quarter (11:18) on a 29-yard field goal by Miles Bergner.

FARGO, N.D. - Senior kicker Adam Keller connected on a schoolrecord five field goals to lead the number-one ranked Bison to the win over the fourth-ranked Grizzlies Saturday afternoon in front of a loud and partisan crowd of 18,890 fans in NDSU’s Gate City Bank Field at the Fargodome. NDSU, the three-time defending FCS national champion, extended its record winning streak in the division to 28 with the victory. The Bison (4-0) tacked on three insurance points late in the game (1:43 left), when Keller kicked his record-setting fifth field goal. NDSU took a 19-10 lead on a 3-yard scoring pass from junior quarterback Carson Wentz to senior tight end Kevin Vaadeland at the 8:22 mark of the third quarter, and that’s how the third stanza ended. Montana (2-2) had reduced the NDSU lead to 12-10 with 52 seconds to go until halftime on a 20-yard field goal by junior kicker Daniel Sullivan - his first career three-pointer for the Griz. The score at intermission was 12-10, Bison. When Keller connected on his fourth field goal of the game, a 47 yarder, he gave NDSU a 12-7 lead, and scored all of the points the Bison would need for the win with 5:34 left in the second quarter. The Griz shaved the Bison lead to 9-7 with 10:01 left until intermission on a 3-yard run by senior halfback Jordan Canada. The big play which led to Canada’s rushing touchdown was a 72-yard pass from senior quarterback Jordan Johnson to junior wide receiver Jamaal Jones, as Jones advanced the ball to the NDSU 3-yard line. That 72-yard Johnson-to-Jones pass completion tied for the 13th longest in school history. NDSU took its first two-score lead (9-0) on a 32- yard field goal by Keller with 10:42 remaining until halftime. The Bison had taken a 6-0 lead in the opening quarter on back- to-back field goals by Keller, as he connected from 22 and 41 yards out. His two three-pointers accounted for the only scoring in the opening stanza. Johnson was 15-of-29-1 for 188 yards with no scoring throws. Johnson was intercepted for the first time this season, which was also the Grizzlies’ first turnover of the season. Canada had 12 carries for 48 yards and a TD. Senior running back/ wide-out Travon Van and junior wide receiver Ellis Henderson had a team-high 4 receptions each. Junior linebacker Jeremiah Kose led the Griz with a game and career-high 16 tackles. Kendrick Van Ackeren garnered 13 tackles for UM, while fellow junior linebacker Herbert Gamboa added 11 stops, as did senior free safety Matt Hermanson. Henderson now has 1,478 career receiving yards, moving him up to 24th in school history. Hermanson now has 274 career tackles, which moves him up to 15th on the all-time list. Wentz was 16-of-24-0 for 167 yards and a TD. Senior running back John Crockett rushed 28 times for 144 yards. Vaadeland led NDSU with 5 catches. The Bison out-gained the Griz 280 to 68 yards rushing, and had 24 first downs, compared to UM’s nine. NDSU had almost 20 more minutes of possession than Montana (39:06 to 20:54).

GRAND FORKS, ND — Junior kicker Daniel Sullivan kicked a 35yard field goal as time expired, as the 7th-ranked University of Montana Grizzlies defeated upset- minded North Dakota 18-15 Saturday afternoon in a Big Sky Conference contest in UND’s Alerus Center. UND scored 15 unanswered fourth-quarter points to tie the game at 15-all with 5:49 left to play. UND (2-4/0-2) had a chance to take the lead with 1:03 remaining, but freshman kicker Reid Taubenheim’s 40-yard field goal was blocked by Montana (4-2/2-0) freshman center Robert Luke and UM had new life. After UND’s missed field goal, Montana started from its own 41yard line, and on the Grizzlies’ first play from scrimmage, senior quarterback Shay Smithwick-Hann connected with wide receiver Jamaal Jones for a 46-yard pass completion and the Griz had the ball on UND’s 10-yard line. Two plays later Sullivan kicked the game-winner. The Griz had taken a 15-0 lead when senior halfback Travon Van plowed over for a 2-yard scoring run on a 4th-and-2 play with 2:57 left in the third quarter. However, UND got on the board with 6:37 left to play on a 3-yard run by redshirt freshman Kyle Norberg, cutting the Griz lead to 15-7. UND tied the game when junior cornerback Chris Brown picked off a Smithwick-Hann pass and returned it for a 14-yard touchdown, and then sophomore quarterback Joe Mollberg hit sophomore tight end Luke Matthewson for the game-tying 2-point conversion. Montana scored its first touchdown of the game with 2:19 left until halftime, when Smithwick-Hann hit Van on a 10-yard scoring pass, however, Sullivan missed the PAT attempt, and the Griz led 8-0. The Grizzlies’ defense held UND to 60 total yards and 4 first downs in the first half. Senior end Zack Wagenmann led the way for Montana with 2 first-half sacks, and UM led 8-0 at the break. The Griz gained 137 yards and had 11 first downs in the opening half. Smithwick-Hann had replaced starter Jordan Johnson twice during the opening half when Johnson was up on two different plays. Smithwick-Hann finished 12-of-21-1 for 128 yards and a touchdown. Johnson, who watched the second half in street clothes and on crutches, was 7-of-14-0 for 109 yards in limited action. Jones had game-highs of 7 catches for 114 yards, while Van had 7 grabs for 58 yards. Senior halfback Jordan Canada led the Griz with 53 yards rushing on 19 carries. Wagenmann had a team-high 8 tackles, 3 TFLs, 2 sacks, a safety, and a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. Junior linebacker Herbert Gamboa and senior safety Matt Hermanson had 7 tackles each.

MISSOULA, MONT. – Senior halfback Jordan Canada broke loose for three long touchdown runs and senior quarterback Jordan Johnson had two scoring passes and also rushed for a TD, to lead the Grizzlies over the upset-minded and visiting UC Davis Aggies Saturday afternoon in front of an appreciative crowd of 25,766 fans in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The Grizzlies (5-2/3-0 BSC) took a 7-0 lead with 29 seconds left in the opening quarter on a 24-yard pass from Jordan Johnson to wide receiver Jamaal Jones, who leaped over the Aggies’ defender to make the scoring grab. UC Davis (1-6/0-4) scored two unanswered TDs in the second quarter, the first one was a 9-yard pass from quarterback Ben Scott to wide receiver Ramon Vargas, and the second was an 8-yard throw from Scott to halfback Gabe Manzanares. That made the score 14-7 Aggies with 3:34 left until halftime. Montana tied the game when Johnson scrambled in from 5 yards out with 50 seconds remaining until halftime, making the score 14-14 at the break. The Griz regained the lead (21-14) for good with 5:27 to go in the third quarter on a 3-yard touchdown pass from Johnson to senior tight end Mitch Saylor. After that it was all Canada and some key stops by the defense. With 43 seconds remaining in the third stanza Canada broke a couple of tackles and scored on a 74-yard run – the fifth longest rushing TD in school history. The Aggies battled back, though, as Scott tossed an 11- yard touchdown pass to 5-10, 225-pound running back Dalton Turay, who caught the ball on the 5-yard line and powered his way into the end zone for a score. That trimmed the Griz lead to 28-21 with 9:41 left in the game. It took Montana just two plays and 42 seconds to answer the UC Davis TD, though, as Canada scored on a 24-yard run to give UM a 35-21 lead with 8:53 remaining in the contest. Canada’s scoring run was set up on a 46-yard completion from Johnson to Jones. The Aggies cut the Grizzlies’ lead to 35-28 on their next possession, as Scott threw a 15-yard scoring strike to junior wide receiver Ramon Vargas with 4:55 to go. Canada, who had just one rushing touchdown in UM’s first six games, scored his third TD of the game on a 21-yard run to give the Griz a 42-28 advantage with 2:22 left to play. The Griz offense scored on four of their six second-half possessions. Montana’s defense stopped UC Davis on its final two possessions in a pair of fourth down situations. The first late drive that the Griz thwarted they took over the ball on UC Davis’ 21-yard line, and then Canada scored from there on UM’s first play from scrimmage after making the fourth down stop. UCD’s final drive ended on its own 27, and Johnson took a knee on three straight plays and time expired. UM held UC Davis’ potent offense to 190 total yards in the second half, including 48 yards rushing. Canada rushed 15 times for 152 yards and the 3 TDs. It was his 10th career 100-yard rushing game. Senior halfback Travon Van added 63 yards on 10 totes. Johnson was 18-of-27-0 passing for a season-high 280 yards and 2 scores.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIF. — Quarterback Chris Brown rushed for 226 yards and two TDs to lead the host Mustangs to a 41-21 key Big Sky Conference victory over the 7th-ranked Grizzlies Saturday evening in Alex Spanos Stadium. The loss ended a three-game winning streak by the Grizzlies, who also dropped their first league contest of the season and are now 3-1 in the conference and 5-3 overall. It was the fourth win in a row for the Mustangs, who improved to 4-1 in league and 5-3 overall. Brown rushed 21 times for those 226 yards (a 10.7 average), and he also passed for 107 yards and a touchdown. The Griz scored their first and only points of the second half with 6:34 remaining when senior quarterback Jordan Johnson connected with junior wide receiver Jamaal Jones for a 2-yard scoring pass, cutting the Mustangs’ lead to 34-21. However, UM’s subsequent on-side kick was recovered by senior linebacker Nick Dunzbar on the Cal Poly 41-yard line. Brown put the game out of reach with 9:39 left to play when he sprinted up the middle for a 15-yard touchdown run, giving the Mustangs a 20-point (34-14) lead. Cal Poly’s final TD was a 1-yard scoring run by junior back-up quarterback Dano Graves with 1:10 left in the contest. The Mustangs scored back-to-back touchdowns in the third quarter and took the first double-digit lead of the contest - the second TD coming on a 17-yard run by Brown with 57 seconds left in the stanza. The third lead change of the contest came at the 10:46 mark of the third quarter, when Brown hit sophomore halfback Kori Garcia who was wide open in the right side of the end zone for 5-yard touchdown, giving Cal Poly a 21-14 lead. Cal Poly tied the game up for the second time of the opening half on a 5-yard run by senior fullback Brandon Howe with 48 seconds left until intermission. Griz sophomore kicker Harrison Greenberg had a chance to give UM the lead, but his 38-yard field goal attempts was wide left, and the first half ended in a 14-all deadlock. Montana took to its first and only lead of the game at 14-7 with 5:10 remaining until halftime, as Johnson hit senior tight end Mitch Saylor on a 20-yard touchdown pass. The big play on that drive was a 50-yard pass completion from sophomore wide receiver Ryan Burke to redshirt freshman wide- out Josh Janssen, which advanced the ball to Cal Poly’s 20-yard line, and Johnson’s TD throw to Saylor came on the next play after the Burke-to-Janssen hook-up. The Grizzlies tied the game at 7-7 with 11:57 to go to halftime, when Johnson hit Jones for a 1-yard touchdown pass. The Griz drive was sparked by two long pass completions by Johnson, the first to Jones and the second to senior wide receiver Sean Haynes, covering 36 and 24 yards, respectively. The Mustangs scored on their first possession of the game and scored the only points of the first quarter, when they marched 66 yards in 13 plays, as Garcia scored on a 1-yard run, giving Cal Poly a 7-0 lead. Johnson was 18-of-38-0 for 248 yards passing and 3 TDs. Jones had game-highs of 8 receptions for 134 yards and 2 scores, while Saylor had 4 grabs for 31 yards and a TD. Senior halfback Travon Van led UM in rushing with 45 yards. Griz senior free safety Matt Hermanson had a game-high 14 tackles, while junior linebacker Jeremiah Kose added 9. Hermanson now has 304 career tackles and is now tied with former linebacker Kyle Ryan for the eighth most in school history. Ryan had 304 tackles from 2004-07. Brown was 9-of-17-0 passing for his 107 yards. Cal Poly, which leads the FCS in rushing, gained 421 yards on 66 carries. Montana had 298 yards passing, but was limited to 78 yards on the ground on 24 attempts.

MISSOULA, MONTANA – The number one defense was outstanding and halfback Jordan Canada rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns, as the 12th-ranked Griz defeated the Hornets. Montana improved to 4-1 in league play and 6-3 overall, while the Hornets are 1-4/4-5. Montana leads the series against Sac State 18-1. The Hornets took an early 3-0 lead on their first possession of the game on a 15-play drive that was capped off by a 27-yard field goal by junior kicker Brad Cornish. However, Sac State had the ball and a first-and-10 on Montana’s 13-yard line on that opening series, but the Griz “D” set the tone early, and held the Hornets to just three yards on three plays, and forced them to settle for a field goal. Montana out-scored Sac State 17-0 over the next 23 minutes, though, and when senior halfback Travon Van scored on a 7-yard run he gave the Griz a 17-3 lead with 6:07 left in the second quarter. Canada had given UM the lead for good when he scored on a 1-yard run with 4:14 to go at 7-3 in the opening quarter. After Canada’s first TD, Daniel Sullivan’s 29-yard field goal lengthened the Griz lead to 10-3. Van tacked on his TD after Sullivan’s threepointer to put UM ahead by two touchdowns (17-3). The Hornets cut the Grizzlies’ lead to 17-6 with 33 seconds to go until the break on a 21-yard field goal by Cornish, and Montana took that 11-point advantage into its locker-room at halftime. The Griz out-scored the Hornets 14-0 in the third quarter, starting when Canada broke numerous tackles on his way to a 68-yard scoring run. After Canada’s long scoring jaunt, senior quarterback Jordan Johnson hit senior tight end Mitch Saylor for a 14-yard touchdown pass. The Johnson-to-Saylor hook-up gave UM a 31-6 lead with 3:06 left in the third quarter. Sac State scored its only touchdown of the game with 32 seconds left to play on a 1-yard run by senior quarterback Garrett Safron. The Hornets’ racked up 87 yards on their final scoring drive. Montana’s number one “D” allowed just 192 total yards after the first three quarters, and Sac State picked up 164 yards and scored its only TD of the game in the final quarter, against UM’s reserves. The Griz limited the Hornets to 4-of-15 on third down attempts in the game. Canada rushed 12 times for his 109 yards, to average 9.1 yards per carry en route to his 11th career 100-yard rushing game. Van added 8 totes for 42 yards and a score, and Johnson gained 33 yards on just three carries. Johnson was 13-of-21-0 for 143 yards and a TD. Junior wide receiver Jamaal Jones led the Griz with 4 receptions for 44 yards, while redshirt freshman Josh Janssen and Saylor had 3 grabs each. Junior linebacker Kendrick Van Ackeren had a game-high 9 tackles for the Griz, while junior LB Herbert Gamboa and senior defensive tackle Trevor Rehm had 7 tackles apiece. Senior end Zack Wagenmann added a sack, while Rehm and fellow senior defensive tackle Tonga Takai teamed up for one. UM had 10 pass break-ups in the game, led by senior cornerback Joshua Dennard with three. Van Ackeren returned his first career interception 59 yards to the Hornets’ 21-yard line, and his pick led to Sullivan’s second quarter field goal. Safron was 27-of-48-1 passing for 262 yards and he rushed for a team-high 43 yards on 13 carries. Junior wide receiver Nnamdi Agude led Sac with game-highs of 8 catches for 99 yards.

CHENEY, WASH. - The #11-ranked Grizzlies battled back from a 23-point deficit (33-10), but fell short in the loss to the host and 5thranked Eagles. EWU was led by junior quarterback Vernon Adams Jr,, who passed for 399 yards and 4 touchdowns. Adams, who started, had missed EWU’s last four games due to a foot injury. The Griz made it a one-possession game with 5:56 left in the game when Daniel Sullivan booted a 40-yard field goal, making the score 33-26. But 28 seconds later Tyler McNannay kicked a 37-yard field goal and EWU took a 36-26 lead. Montana scored its second TD in a row of the third quarter on a 38-yard scoring pass from senior quarterback Jordan Johnson to junior wide receiver Jamaal Jones, making the score 33-23 EWU with 49 seconds left in that stanza. The Johnson-to-Jones TD was set up when junior defensive end Tyrone Holmes stripped the ball from Adams and his fumble was recovered by junior end Derek Crittenden. The Griz got their first points of the third quarter and cut the Eagles’ lead to 33-17, when Johnson threw a 61-yard touchdown pass to senior halfback/wide receiver Travon Van. The Eagles had scored back-to-back touchdowns in a little over a minute in the third quarter, and jumped to a 33-10 lead on a 67-yard punt return by sophomore wide receiver Cooper Kupp with 8:13 to go in that stanza. EWU had widened its lead to 27-10 with 9:34 left in the third quarter when Adams threw a 38-yard TD pass to the fourth different receiver, this one going to Kupp. EWU needed just 1:21 and seven plays to regain their double-digit lead, this time Adams connecting with sophomore wide-out Kenrick Bourne for a 34-yard TD pass, and EWU jumped to a 20-10 edge at halftime. Montana scored its first TD of the game when Johnson tossed a 28-yard scoring pass to Ryan Burke to cut the EWU lead to 13-10 with 1:38 to go until halftime. The Griz took their only lead of the game and scored their sole points of the first quarter, on a 24-yard field goal by Sullivan with 5:23 to go in the first quarter.

CEDAR CITY, UTAH - Senior running back Jordan Canada rushed for a career-high 211 yards and two TDs to lead the Grizzlies to a crucial Big Sky Conference win. The win improved Montana’s record to 7-4 overall and 5-2 in league, and kept its FCS post-season playoff hopes alive. The victory also gave UM its 28th winning season in the past 29 years. The Griz win sets up a big match-up between the Griz and the firstplace Montana State Bobcats (6-1/8-3) next Saturday in Missoula, the 114th contest in the storied rivalry. It was a historic game for Griz senior defensive end Zack Wagenmann who had a sack in the win, as he ties Tim Bush (32.5 sacks, 2000-03) and goes by Kroy Biermann (32.0, 2004-07) for second. He needs just a half-a-sack to break the tie with Bush and a establish the school record. A 14-yard TD run by Canada put UM back on top for good at 21-17 with 4:38 left in the third quarter. About five minutes later he broke free for a 56-yard TD run, which came with 14:27 to go in the fourth, giving UM a 28-17 advantage. An 8-play, 88 yard drive which used up 4:22 on the clock, was capped off by a 1-yard scoring run by fullback Jamal Wilson - his first career touchdown, and his TD iced the win for the Griz and gave them a three-score (35-17) lead. After a blocked field goal by the T-Birds’ Lehi Afatasi, SUU scored on a 24-yard field goal by Keita Calhoun, and took its first and only lead of the game at 17-14 with 8:37 to go in the third quarter. Montana scored the first points of the game with 9:30 left in the second quarter on a 12-yard TD pass from QB Jordan Johnson to Sean Haynes, giving the Griz a 7-0 lead. SUU tied the game at 7-7 with 4:37 left in the second quarter on a 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Ammon Olsen to wide receiver Mitch Jessop. On UM’s next possession, an offside penalty on SUU allowed Montana to maintain possession, and the Grizzlies capitalized, as two plays later, Johnson hit wide receiver/halfback Travon Van on a 62yard TD pass, as Montana regained the lead (14-7). The T-Birds scored with 27 seconds to go until halftime on a 3-yard run by Olsen, which tied the score 14-14 at intermission. Canada rushed 29 times for his 211 yards and two scoring runs, to average 7.3 yards a carry. Halfback John Nguyen was instrumental in the win, as he rushed just 8 times for 90 yards including a career-long 54-yard jaunt, and picked up two key first downs on UM’s final two possessions. The Griz rushed for a season-high 316 yards on 49 totes. Johnson, who left the game with an injury in the fourth quarter, was 12-of-26-0 passing for 181 yards and two scores. Van had teamhighs of 6 catches for 56 yards and a TD, while Haynes had 2 grabs for 56 yards and a touchdown. On defense, senior FS Matt Hermanson had a game- high 12 tackles, while junior linebackers Kendrick Van Ackeren and Jeremiah Kose added 11 and 9 stops, respectively.

MISSOULA, MONTANA – The defense took advantage of seven turnovers and Jordan Canada and Jordan Johnson paced the offense, as the 13th-ranked Grizzlies defeated the 12th-ranked Bobcats. A Washington-Grizzly Stadium record crowd of 26,352 attended the 114th “Brawl of the Wild” contest. The Griz now lead the series 72-37-5, and have won 24 of the last 29 contests. Montana improved to 6-2 in league and 8-4 overall, while MSU is also now 6-2/8-4. It was an even more emotional “Senior Day” than normal for Montana’s 16 seniors, as earlier this week Griz head coach Mick Delaney announced that he would be retiring at the conclusion of the 2014 season. It was a record day for UM senior defensive end Zack Wagenmann. He had a sack in the game, giving him 33.5 in his career to break the school record, passing Tim Bush, who had 32.5 sacks from 2000-03. Bush is still ranked first at UM in tackles for loss with 48.5, but Wagenmann is right behind him with 48 TFLs. Canada, a senior halfback, picked up 119 yards on the ground which gives him 1,011 on the season – the second year in a row he has rushed for 1,000-plus yards (he had 1,062 last year). The senior signal-caller, Johnson, passed for 313 yards, which gives him 8,236 in his career – the third most in school history, while his 27 career wins are the fourth most W’s by a starting quarterback. Senior free safety Matt Hermanson now has 338 career stops and moved up to fourth in school history, as he passed linebacker Jordan Tripp, who had 335 career tackles from 2009-13. Hermanson also had 3 picks in the game, and now has 11 career picks, which ties him for the sixth most at UM with four other players. The Griz scored on five of their first six possessions and took a commanding 27-0 halftime lead. A Johnson 4-yard TD pass to senior tight end Mitch Saylor gave UM a 27-0 advantage with 3:05 left until intermission. On four of its five possessions of the opening half, Montana scored three TDs and kicked a field goal, and picked off MSU quarterback Jake Bleskin four times. All four of those interceptions resulted in Grizzly scores. Kicker Daniel Sullivan’s 42-yard field goal gave Montana a 3-0 lead with 12:04 to go in the first quarter. Canada boosted UM’s lead to 17-0 on back-to-back scores, the first on a 1-yard run, and the second came on a 4-yard TD pass from Johnson, which came with 50 seconds left in the first stanza. It was Canada’s first career receiving touchdown. The Grizzlies tacked on 10 more points in the opening half on a 29-yard field goal by Sullivan, and the Johnson-to-Saylor TD hookup. The Grizzlies’ only second half points came when Johnson connected with redshirt wide receiver Josh Janssen on a 9-yard scoring pass, which gave UM a 34-0 cushion with 12:53 left in the game. MSU finally got on the board with 5:59 left in the game on a 1- yard run by running back Chad Newell on the Cats’ final possession. Johnson was 22-of-36-0 for 313 yards and rushed six times for 80 yards. Canada had 27 totes for his 119 yards. Senior wide receiver/halfback Travon Van had 6 catches for 106 yards, while senior tight end Mitch Saylor had career-highs of 6 catches for 103 yards and a TD. Junior Jamaal Jones added 6 grabs for 70 yards, while Janssen had 3 receptions. Junior linebackers Kendrick Van Ackeren and Herbert Gamboa led the Griz with 11 tackles each, while Hermanson added 8 stops to go along with his 3 picks. Van Ackeren now has a team-best 110 tackles so far this season. Bleskin, who was starting in place of the injured Dakota Prukop, was 15-of-28-5 for 145 yards, and was sacked three times. Newell led MSU with 17 carries for 67 yards and a TD. Senior line-backer Alex Singleton led the Cats with a game-high 16 tackles.

MISSOULA, MONTANA – Montana dominated on both sides of the football, and the result was a 52-14 victory over the visiting Toreros in a first round NCAA FCS playoff game. The Grizzlies scored on six of their first eight possessions in the first half and held the Toreros (9-3) of the Pioneer Football League scoreless, to jump to an insurmountable 38-0 halftime lead. Montana grabbed an early 7-0 lead with 8:38 left in the first quarter on a 22-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Jordan Johnson to junior wide receiver Jamaal Jones. The Griz opened up a 14-0 advantage late (1:14) in the opening quarter on a 3-yard scoring pass from Johnson to senior halfback Jordan Canada. The Grizzlies then scored on all four of their possessions in the second quarter, and when Canada scored again, this time from 17 yards out, UM led 38-to-zip with 2:34 remaining until intermission. Sophomore running back John Nguyen started UM’s second quarter scoring onslaught by scoring on a 60-yard punt return, which was his first TD return and the longest punt return of his career, and gave the Griz a 21-0 lead. Junior kicker Daniel’s Sullivan’s 41-yard field goal upped the Grizzlies’ lead to 24-0 at the 10:20 mark of the second stanza. After Sullivan’s three-pointer, there was another Johnson-to-Jones hook-up, this one covering 30 yards, and that TD was followed by Canada’s 17-yard jaunt, and Montana never looked back. UM tallied two more unanswered TDs on scoring throws of 18 and 12 yards by senior QB Shay Smithwick-Hann to redshirt freshman receiver Josh Janssen (with 7:37 to go in the third quarter) and senior wide-out Kevin Berland. Berland, who made his first career catch earlier in the game, gave the Griz a 52-0 cushion on his TD reception, which came with 12:16 remaining in the fourth quarter. USD finally scored with 6:05 left to play on a scoring pass from halfback Dallas Kessman to freshman wide receiver Justin Priest from 27 yards out. Priest scored again on an 11-yard touchdown throw from junior QB Trey Wheeler. The Grizzlies out-gained the Toreros 315 to 17 in total yards, and had 18 first downs compared to USD’s one. Most of Montana’s starters played in just the first half. Johnson was 13-of-20-0 for 153 yards and 3 TDs, while Canada had 17 carries for 105 yards rushing with a scored, one touchdown rushing and one receiving, and Jones had 5 receptions for 86 yards and 2 scores – all of those yards for those three players were accumulated in the first half. Jones become the 13th player in school history to have more than 1,000 receiving yards in a season. Most of UM’s defensive starters also did not play in the second half, but that did not prevent senior defensive end Zack Wagenmann from breaking another school record. A sack in the second quarter gave him his 49th career tackle for loss, and he passed former end Tim Bush (48.5, 2000-03) to become UM’s all-time leader in that category. He also added to his career record totals in career sacks (34.5) and career forced fumbles (11). Redshirt freshman linebacker Tucker Schye led UM’s defense with a career-high 8 tackles, while junior safety Eric Johnson and redshirt freshman linebacker Connor Strahm had 5 tackles apiece. True freshman running back Lorenzo Logwood rushed 17 times for 59 yards, while Nguyen had 4 totes for 42 yards, and redshirt freshman Treshawn Favor had 9 carries for 36 yards. Berland finished with 3 grabs for 42 yards and a TD, while Janssen had 2 catches for 31. USD starting sophomore quarterback Keith Williams was 6- of18-0 for 34 yards, while Wheeler was 4-of-4 for 41 yards. Kessman had a team-high 30 yards rushing on 10 carries. Senior free safety Matt Miller led USD with a game-high 13 tackles.

CHENEY, WASH. – The second time was not the charm for the unseeded 12th-ranked Grizzlies, as comeback- minded Montana lost for the second time in 2014 to the 4th- ranked Eastern Washington Eagles in a second round NCAA Division I FCS playoff game at EWU’s Roos Field. It was the final game for third-year head coach Mick Delaney, as he had announced recently that he would step down at the conclusion of the 2014 season. Montana ended its season with a 9-5 record and went 6-2 (tie, second) in the Big Sky Conference. The Eagles (11-2) were led by junior quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. who passed for two touchdowns and ran for another, while senior halfback Quincy Forte rushed for 128 yards and a TD. Host EWU had defeated UM 36-26 earlier this season in a Big Sky Conference game on Nov. 8. The Grizzlies had kept their comeback chance possible with 6:29 remaining, when QB Jordan Johnson connected with senior wide receiver/halfback Travon Van on a 30-yard touch- down pass, cutting EWU lead to 10 points (30-20). Montana then stayed in the game when it stopped EWU on a fourth down conversion on an interception of Adams by junior linebacker Jeremiah Kose in the end zone. But, on UM’s next play from scrimmage the Eagles put the game out of reach, as safety Todd Raynes picked off a pass and returned it 40 yards, giving EWU a 37-20 lead and the final points of the game. Senior defensive end Zack Wagenmann had 3 sacks in the game, giving him 37.5 in his career, as he added to his school-record total. He increased his record total of tackles for loss to 52. Canada rushed 11 times for 79 yards and a TD, giving him 1,207 yards rushing this season, which ranks him seventh in school history. Johnson was 18-of-33-2 for 223 yards and a TD and rushed for 48 yards. For the season, he threw for 2,781 yards and 24 TDs. His passing yards are the 15th most yards in school history, while his 24 TD throws are the seventh most (tie) in a season. Senior free safety Matt Hermanson had 8 tackles, giving him 348 in his career, which ties him third in school history with linebacker Kent Clausen (348 tackles, 1976-79). Van had career-highs of 9 catches for 161 yards and a TD. Junior wide receiver Jamaal Jones had just 2 catches for 8 yards, but upped his season total to 1,037 receiving yards, which ranks him ninth in single-season history at UM. Junior linebackers Hebert Gamboa and Kose led the Griz with 11 tackles each. LB Kendrick Van Ackeren added 9 stops, followed by Hermanson’s 8. Defensive backs Nate Harris and Justin Whitted, and end Tyrone Holmes had 7 tackles apiece. Delaney finished his three-year stint as head coach with 24 wins - - the seventh most ever by a UM mentor.

BIG SKY CONFERENCE

2015 Griz Football

81


Big Sky Conference The Big Sky Conference enters its 53rd year and 28th year of women’s competition during the 2015-16 academic year. The venerable and stable Division I Big Sky Conference observed its 50th birthday on July 1, 2013. Four of the current league members – Idaho State University, The University of Montana, Montana State and Weber State – have been with the league since its birth. Fellow charter member the University of Idaho returned most of its sports to the Big Sky on July 1, 2014. Northern Arizona University enters its 47th season in the league, giving the league five members with at least 40 years of continuous membership. The Big Sky Conference welcomed North Dakota and Southern Utah on July 1, 2012 as full members. UC Davis and Cal Poly joined as football affiliate members. Eastern Washington University, the University of Northern Colorado, Portland State University and Sacramento State round out the current membership. The league has become one of the strongest Division I conferences in the West and is a national leader in the Football Championship Subdivision. Six times, Big Sky teams have won the Division I National Championship, including Eastern Washington in 2010. The Big Sky is one of three conferences in the western United States playing Division I football. The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members – Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Arizona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was replaced by Nevada, which gave the league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987 with the addition of Eastern Washington. The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada departed and put the Big Sky back at eight teams. In 1996 Boise State and Idaho left and at the same time the conference added Portland State, Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years before Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001.

The Big Sky’s full members represent nine states spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Red River Valley of North Dakota. The league is represented along the entire west coast with institutions in Washington, Oregon and California. League schools also range up and down the Rocky Mountains with institutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Colorado. It is “The Heart of the American West.” The University of Idaho, which was a member from 1963-96, will once again compete in the Big Sky in the majority of its sports. Idaho’s football program maintained its FBS affiliation, joining the Sun Belt Conference. 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 Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State. While on a track and field trip from Pocatello, Idaho, to Missoula, Mont., legendary Dubby Holt of Idaho State saw a “Welcome to Big Sky Country” sign as his team entered Montana. Holt, and his athletes thought “Big Sky” would be a perfect name for the new conference. Harry Missildine of the Spokane Spokesman-Review called for the newly formed league to be named the Big Sky Conference in his column dated Feb. 20, 1963. The Big Sky sponsors championships in 16 sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball and tennis. In addition, there are also championships in football, and women’s volleyball, golf and soccer. The Big Sky sponsored softball for the first time in 2013. Men’s golf returned as a championship sport in 201415 for the first time since 2002. The University of Hartford and Binghamton University have joined the Big Sky as affiliate members in golf. In 1988-89, the Big Sky Conference first began sponsoring women’s sports. The former Mountain West Conference existed from 1982-88, sponsoring championships for women’s sports at the same institutions the Big Sky had men’s programs. The Big Sky merged with the Mountain West in 1988, forming one league for both men and women. Doug Fullerton, the fifth commissioner of the Big Sky Conference, is in his 21st year at the helm. Fullerton took over the Big Sky on July 1, 1995, replacing longtime commissioner Ron Stephenson, who passed away in 2011. Stephenson served the league for 14 years. Steve Belko was the commissioner from 197781, while John Roning held the post from 1971-77. The first league commissioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

Information archives)

Fred Smith 1897

“Two years after The University of Montana opened its doors to students, the first football team was organized. Professor Fred D. Smith, chemistry professor and former football player at Cornell University, volunteered to coach the football team. Twenty-four men turned out. No uniforms were available so many of the players used makeshift clothing.” -- The Redbook

F.B. Seabright 1898

“Sgt. B.F. Seabright, a graduate and former player at Stanford, was a coach in 1898. He was engaged by the university as instructor in general athletics. Students raised an initial $110 to help pay the coach’s salary. Charles Allard kicked the first field goal in the state of Montana at the Thanksgiving game vs. the Montana State College Aggies in Missoula. Montana won 16-0.” -- The Redbook - 116 -

Guy Cleveland 1899

“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, Coach Cleveland played right halfback. He made the two touchdowns and kicked goal both times to win for the varsity.” --The Redbook

Frank Bean 1900-1901

“Frank Bean from the University 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 Redbook “The unsuccessful season was due to the lack of experienced players. We had no experienced quarterback.” --Kaimin, student paper

Dewitt Peck 1902

This season saw the organization of the Northwest Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Nine Northwest colleges were represented at a meeting which was held in Spokane.

H.B. Conibear 1903-1904

Coach Conibear will be remembered by University of Montana fans for at least one contribution, his 1904 team ran up the biggest score in football history against Montana State College, 79-0.” -- The Redbook

F.W. Schule 1905-1906

A writeup of the 1906 season by Coach Schule in the yearbook says, “as interesting and as spectacular a game of football as the writer has seen in the far west was played on the Montana field on October 19th. Our men succeeded in holding Washington State’s undefeated team to the closest score made against them this season.” --Montana Sentinel

Lt. W.C. Philoon, 1912

Bernie Bierman 1919-1921

“Bernie Bierman, the new coach, was an AllAmerica halfback at the University of Minnesota in 1915. Probably no season up to this time saw more “firsts” than in 1920. The Grizzlies beat the University of Washington for the only time in history. Montana’s football field was moved and named “Dornblaser Field” in honor of Paul Dornblaser, the great Grizzly tackle, who was killed in action in World War I. Finally, the Grizzlies ran up their biggest score in history, a 133-0 pasting of Mount St. Charles.” (Carroll College) -- The Redbook

A.G. Heilman, 1913-14

“This was the best team that Montana had yet produced, and Montana was undefeated and had one scoreless tie with Idaho in 1914. Richard Howell of the Law School wrote the song: “Up With Montana” (UM’s fight song) in 1914.” --The Redbook

Jerry Nissen 1915-1917

“The biggest game of the season and one of the biggest in Montana history came Thanksgiving Day 1915 when the powerful Syracuse University team invaded Missoula for the first intersectional game in the state. Coach Jerry Nissen returned from the Northwest Conference meeting at Seattle in 1916 with the news that Montana had been admitted to the conference. Coach Nissen resigned at the end of the 1917 season to join the Army. The coach had compiled a record of 14-7-4 in three seasons.” -- The Redbook

Frank Milburn 1926-1930

“Major Frank Milburn, a West Point graduate and winner of the Athletic Saber, emblematic of the best athlete at West Point, became head of the R.O.T.C. and head football coach. The 1930 season highlights were victories over Montana State College, University of Idaho and Gonzaga University. Major “Shrimp” Milburn closed his coaching career at the University of Montana due to Army orders transferring him to another station.” -- The Redbook

- 117 -

Bernard Oakes 1931-1934

Robert Stansberry and Henry Blastic made honorable mention All Americans. Bernard Oakes left after the 1934 season to coach football at the University of Colorado.” -- The Redbook

Doug Fessenden 1935-1941

“Douglas Fessenden, Fenger High School coach in Chicago, was selected as head football coach at the university in April of 1935. “Man of the Year” was the honor accorded Douglas Fessenden by the Kaimin in 1935 for the distinguished work done by him in raising Montana to a prominent place in Pacific Coast Conference football. Fessenden proved himself to be an able mentor and won the respect and admiration of the entire school. The 1937 season was the most successful football season since 1914. Montana won six consecutive games in 1937 which is the first time in history Montana won as many games. The highlight of the 1939 season was the 13-0 win over the University of Idaho, smashing the Idaho jinx and giving Montana possession of the Little Brown Stein for the first time. The 1941 football season was a successful year as well, UM going 6-3. 1946-1948 (14-15) Douglas Fessenden returned from the Army Air Corp in time to take over his duties as head football coach. Montana enjoyed a successful 1947 season winning 7 games and losing 4 and defeated Washington State College and the University of Idaho on their home grounds. Fessenden resigned in 1948 and the following year received his doctors degree in Physical Education from Columbia University. Fessenden had the best win and loss record in football of any university football coach up until that time.” -- The Redbook

George Dahlberg 1945

Coaching History Ted Shipkey 1949-1951

“Ted Shipkey began his coaching stint at the University of Montana in 1949. The passing combination of Ray Bauer (end) and Tom Kingsford (quarterback) in 1950 was one of the best in University history. Montana withdrew from the Pacific Coast Conference and joined the Mountain States Conference which is also know as the “Skyline” Conference. Ted Shipkey resigned as football coach in 1951.” -- The Redbook

Ed Chinske 1952-1954

“Edward Chinske became the next UM head football coach in 1952. Richard (Dick) Imer was selected for All-American honors in 1953. Imer and Joe DeLuca were chosen to several AllAmerican teams in 1954.” -- Redbook

Jerry Williams 1955-1957

“UM’s fund-raising arm, the Century Club, got its start in 1955, the same year as Head Coach Jerry Williams arrived. Aside from the fact that Stanley Renning was considered one of the greatest sophomores to ever appear in a Grizzly uniform, the 1956 campaign was a dismal one. Coach Jerry Williams, who had played professional football with the Philadelphia Eagles, left UM to be an assistant coach for the Eagles.” -- The Redbook

Ray Jenkins 1958-1963

“Ray Jenkins’ first year as football coach was a poor debut with an 0-10 record, the worst in Montana history. The Grizzlies came up with their best passing attack in 10 season during 1959, a campaign that also marked the end of a 15-game losing streak when the Grizzlies scored a 12-0 upset over Brigham Young. Terry Dillon was selected and played in the East-West Shrine game January 1963. The 1963 football season was unsuccessful winning one game and losing nine.

Montana won the Big Sky Conference championship in 1969 for the first time since conference football began in 1963. Coach Swarthout and his staff received considerable praise for the excellent job of coaching Montana to its second consecutive undefeated regular season play in 1970. The team played in the Camillia Bowl, losing to UND 31-16. There were several Grizzlies selected to various AllAmerican teams in 1971. Swarthout resigned as football coach at the close of the 1975 season. He chose to return to high school teaching and coaching at Capital High, Olympia, Wash. Swarthout left UM as the winningest football coach in the University’s history with a nine-year record of 51 wins, 41 losses and one tie. He won two consecutive Big Sky football championships (1969 and 1970).” -- The Redbook

Gene Carlson 1976-1979

“The 1976 football season opened with Eugene Carlson as the new head football coach. Carlson inherited the coaching staff of the preceding administration (Jack Swarthout), as well as the offensive system (Wishbone or Texas Y). However, Gene made some changes in the offense formation.” Carlson was an alumnus of UM and was a very successful high school coach in Great Falls prior to coming to the University of Montana. A greater success was expected by those in power so Carlson resigned at the close of the 1979 season. ”-- The Redbook

On July 26, 2013, the NCAA Committee on Infractions (COI) issued its findings regarding a NCAA investigation into the UM football program that began in February 2012. In its findings, the COI found that The University of Montana and a former head football coach failed to monitor its football program. Specifically, violations occurred as a result of the following: (A) boosters providing extra benefits to student-athletes, some of which resulted in two student-athletes competing while ineligible, (B) during one season, an undergraduate student assistant participated in coaching activities resulting in the football program exceeding the permissible limit of football coaches and (C) the institution and football coach failed to monitor these activities. As a result of the findings, UM is subject to the following penalties: (1) public reprimand and censure, (2) three years of probation from July 26, 2013, through July 25, 2016, (3) a limit of 59 football equivalency scholarships during the 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 academic years, (4) with regard to the 2011 football season and games in which the student-athletes competed while ineligible, the vacation of wins and participation in the FCS Championship Playoffs, as well as vacation of the individual statistics for the involved student-athletes, (5) forfeiture of $3,000 which will be donated to local charities, (6) reduction of undergraduate student assistant positions by two during the 2013-14 academic year and (7) external review of the compliance program. During the three-year probationary period, the institution will submit annual progress reports to the COI regarding compliance with all penalties and self-corrective actions.

GRIZ IN THE POSTSEASON

2015 Griz Football

127


Post-Season Play

The Griz run onto the field for the secnd round playoff game at Eastern Washington in 2014.

2014: Griz Advance to Second Round Playoff Games

Montana extended its record number of appearances in the division I-AA/FCS playoffs to 22. Montana dominated on both sides of the football, and the result was a 52-14 victory over the visiting Toreros in a first round NCAA FCS playoff game. The Grizzlies scored on six of their first eight possessions in the first half and held the Toreros (9-3) of the Pioneer Football League scoreless, to jump to an insurmountable 38-0 halftime lead. The Grizzlies then scored on all four of their possessions in the second quarter. Sophomore running back John Nguyen started UM’s second quarter scoring onslaught by scoring on a 60-yard punt return, which was his first TD return and the longest punt return of his career, and gave the Griz a 21-0 lead. UM tallied two more unanswered TDs on scoring throws of 18 and 12 yards by senior QB Shay Smithwick-Hann to redshirt freshman receiver Josh Janssen (with 7:37 to go in the third quarter) and senior wide-out Kevin Berland. USD finally scored with 6:05 left to play on a scoring pass from halfback Dallas Kessman to freshman wide receiver Justin Priest from 27 yards out. Priest scored again on an 11-yard touchdown throw from junior QB Trey Wheeler.

The Grizzlies out-gained the Toreros 315 to 17 in total yards, and had 18 first downs compared to USD’s one. Most of Montana’s starters played in just the first half. The second time was not the charm for the unseeded 12th-ranked Grizzlies, as comebackminded Montana lost for the second time in 2014 to the 4th-ranked Eastern Washington Eagles in a second round NCAA Division I FCS playoff game at EWU’s Roos Field. It was the final game for third-year head coach Mick Delaney, as he had announced recently that he would step down at the conclusion of the 2014 season. Montana ended its season with a 9-5 record and went 6-2 (tie, second) in the Big Sky Conference. The Eagles (11-2) were led by junior quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. who passed for two touchdowns and ran for another, while senior halfback Quincy Forte rushed for 128 yards and a TD. Host EWU had defeated UM 36-26 earlier this season in a Big Sky Conference game on Nov. 8. The Grizzlies had kept their comeback chance possible with 6:29 remaining, when QB Jordan Johnson connected with senior wide receiver/ halfback Travon Van on a 30-yard touch- down pass, cutting EWU lead to 10 points (30-20). Montana then stayed in the game when it stopped EWU on a fourth down conversion on - 128 -

an interception of Adams by junior linebacker Jeremiah Kose in the end zone. But, on UM’s next play from scrimmage the Eagles put the game out of reach, as safety Todd Raynes picked off a pass and returned it 40 yards, giving EWU a 37-20 lead and the final points of the game, thus ending Montana’s chances to advance further in the playoffs.

2013: Montana Wins 10 games en route to 21st berth in playoffs

Montana won seven of its last eight regularseason games and earned an at-large berth into the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs, its 21st in school history. The host Griz lost 42-37 to 11th-ranked Coastal Carolina in the second round. The 10-3 Grizzlies were led by three senior linebackers, who all ended their careers ranked among UM’s all-time leaders in career tackles. That dynamic trio consisted of Jordan Tripp (fourth, 335 total tackles), Brock Coyle (12th, 293 TT), and J.P. Kanongata’a (17th, 269 TT). Junior end Zack Wagenmann had a teamhigh 16.5 tackles for loss and was a first team All-Big Sky Conference pick for the second season in a row. UM also had stellar seasons on offense by running back Jordan Canada, wide receiver/returner Ellis Henderson, and quarterback Jordan


Post-Season Play Johnson. Canada rushed for 1,062 yards and 16 touchdowns; Henderson racked up 1,008 receiving yards and 145 TDs; and Johnson passed for 3,387 yards and 32 touchdowns.

2012: Griz Miss Playoffs for the Second Time in the Past 20 seasons

For the just the second time in the past 20 seasons the Grizzlies did not advance to the FCS playoffs. Montana finished 5-6 overall and had its first losing season in 27 years (since going 3-8 in 1985). It was also the first time in 20 seasons that the Griz have not finished first or second in the Big Sky Conference. In October of 2012 Montana dropped out of The Sports Network’s FCS Top 25 poll for the first time since 1998. That ended a run of 195 straight appearances, dating back to the Nov. 2, 1998 poll.

2011: Montana advances to FCS semis for the 20th time

The Grizzlies returned to the playoffs after a one year hiatus, advancing to the FCS semifinal, and suffered a 31-28 loss to host, top-ranked, and undefeated (14-0) Sam Houston State. It was Montana’s 18th playoff berth in the past 19 seasons and 20th overall. UM has won (or shared) 13 of the past 15 Big Sky Conference championships.

Montana out-scored the Kats 14-3 in the second half and advanced the ball to the SHSU 49-yard line on its final drive, but was forced to punt, and Flanders rushed eight times for 63 yards, including a 22-yarder on a fourth down, to ice the victory. The Griz defense held SHSU to two total first downs in the second half prior to the Bearkats’ final drive. Halfback Tim Flanders led SHSU, rushing for 287 yards on 26 carries, and led a potent ground attack that amassed 383 yards. Senior linebacker Caleb McSurdy led a defense that featured nine senior starters, and he was named the Big Sky Conference’s MVP on defense. Record-setting senior kicker/punter Brody McKnight booted a league-record 210 PATs. Jabin Sambrano, also a senior, became just the second player in school history (the other one was “Will Bill” Kelly in 1926) to score a touchdown rushing, receiving, and via punt and kickoff returns in a season. Second-year head coach Robin Pflugrad was named the Big Sky’s “Coach of the Year,” as the Griz went 11-3 overall and placed first in the league with a 7-1 mark. NOTE: Montana would later vacated five wins, Big Sky title, and its participation in FCS playoff games due to NCAA violations, finishing with an “official record” of 6-2.

2010: Playoff Run Halted/Reynolds Ends His Brilliant Career

It had to end some time, and unfortunately the first time in 18 seasons that Montana did not advance to the playoff was the final season of the illustrious career of halfback Chase Reynolds. Reynolds ended his record-breaking career by setting school records for total touchdowns (59) and rushing touchdowns (52), and was ended up only four yards short of the record for career rushing yards with 4,067, and he set all of those standards in just three seasons. The Griz suffered a huge setback early in the year, when senior quarterback Andrew Selle suffered a career-ending injury in the fourth game of the season against Sacramento State.

2009: Another Trip To The FCS Championship Game

Montana played in the FCS championship game for the second year in a row and seventh time in the last 15 seasons, but second-ranked Villanova rushed 51 times for 351 yards in a 2321 Griz loss. It was the top-ranked Grizzlies’ only loss (14-1) of the season. UM’s road to the title game was a difficult one. The Griz trailed 11th-ranked South Dakota State by 27 points (48-21) with 5:40 left in the third quarter, but out-scored SDSU 40-0 on their way to a 61-48 victory. A week later UM forced 10 turnovers and crushed 12th-ranked, visiting Stephen F. Austin 51-0 in a quarterfinal contest. Montana’s semifinal against fifth-ranked Appalachian State and quarterback Armani Edwards was a classic. The game was played in front of a national audience on ESPN and came down to the last play. Selle floated a 25-yard TD pass to Sambrano with 1:31 left to give the Griz a 24-17 lead. However, Edwards drove ASU to Montana’s 3-yard line, but his last-second TD pass was broken up, and the Grizzlies earned their seventh trip to the title game. Mariani broke numerous receiving and return records, and Reynolds tied his own single-season record by rushing for 22 TDs. Selle passed for 28 TDs. Linebacker Shawn Lebsock and safety Shann Schillinger ended their careers as two of the leading tacklers in school history. Head coach Bobby Hauck, who left UM for UNLV following the 2009 season, advanced to the FCS playoffs all seven of his seasons as the head man, and won or shared seven league championships.

2008: Montana Plays For Its Sixth National Title

Despite losing 14 starters, Montana made it to the FCS title game for the sixth time, losing 24-7 to Richmond in Chattanooga. In the first round Montana handled Texas State 31-13. In the quarterfinals the Grizzlies avenged an earlyseason league loss (45-28) at Weber State, de-


Post-Season Play feating the 10th-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. Senior quarterback Cole Bergquist passed for 3,156 yards and 28 touchdowns, and wideout Mike Ferriter finished his career ranked ninth in school history with 2,089 receiving yards. Reynolds rushed for a (then) schoolrecord 22 touchdowns. The defense was led by strong safety Colt Anderson, a Buck Buchanan Award finalist, who was Montana’s leading tackler with 129 stops. 2007: 15th FCS Playoff Appearance In a Row The Griz made their 15th playoff appearance and their 18th overall, which moved them past Eastern Kentucky for the most in division history. Montana suffered a rare home loss in the playoffs, though, a 23-22 setback to Wofford. Senior defensive end Kroy Biermann became Montana’s first ever Buck Buchanan Award winner. Senior halfback Lex Hilliard set a record with 50 career rushing touchdowns, which Reynolds would break three seasons later. Kicker Dan Carpenter set FCS career records with 75 field goals and points scored by a kicker with 413. Senior linebackers Tyler Joyce and Kyle Ryan finished second and sixth in UM history with 352 and 304 career tackles, respectively.

2006: A Trip To The Semis

Montana just missed playing for its sixth national title in the past 12 years. Host Montana defeated 22nd-ranked McNeese State 31-6 in an FCS first-round game, then knocked off visiting and No.10-ranked Southern Illinois 20-3 in the quarterfinals, but were edged (19-17) out to third-ranked and visiting UMass in the semifinal game which was televised nationally on ESPN2. Hauck became the first Griz mentor in history to win four Big Sky titles. After losing at 16th-ranked Iowa in its opener, Montana won 11 straight games and finished 12-2 overall and 8-0 in the Big Sky. Hilliard, a 2006 Walter Payton Award candidate, was lost for the season due to an injury in fall camp. Senior quarterback Josh Swogger threw 17 TD passes, while senior 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. UM’s young defense was ranked ninth in the FCS in total defense, allowing 226.4 yards a game.

2005: Griz Lose in First Round

Montana was 8-4 overall and received an atlarge bid into the playoffs. UM was led by Hilliard who rushed for 1,322 yards – the second highest total (at the time) in single-season history. The ninth-ranked Griz hosted a first-round home playoff game, losing 35-21 to 10th-ranked Cal Poly. Montana had defeated Cal Poly 36-27 in Missoula earlier in the season.

2004: Fifth Trip to the FCS Title Game in the Last 10 Seasons

Montana was 12-3 and advanced to the FCS championship game for the fifth time in the last 11 years. Senior quarterback Craig Ochs passed for 3,807 yards and 33 touchdowns and set a league record by completing 68.7% of his passes. Hilliard tied the school record for touchdown runs with 17, while senior wide receiver Jefferson Heidelberger had the second most receiving yards in single-season history with 1,240. In the playoffs the host Griz handled their first three opponents at home relatively 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. Sadly, the championship game was played on a field that was a quagmire, as the grass playing surface had recently been re-sodded.

2003: Break Playoff Record With 11th in a row

Montana broke the FCS record by making its 11th consecutive playoff appearance, eclipsing the mark of 10 that it had shared with Eastern Kentucky (10, from 1986-1995). The Griz received an at-large bid into the playoffs, losing a 43-40 double-overtime thriller to visiting Western Illinois in the first round. Senior kicker Chris Snyder set four NCAA career FCS records, scoring 394 points and con- 130 -

verting 182 PATs. He also set a single-season school marks by scoring 123 points and connecting on 126 consecutive PATs. Senior defensive end Tim Bush finished his career as Montana’s all-time career leader in sacks (32.5) and tackles for loss (48.5).

2002: Tie FCS Mark for Consecutive Wins

The Griz started the season with 10 wins in a row, and, combined with 14 straight wins the year before, 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 halted on Nov. 16 of 2002, with a 30-21 setback at Eastern Washington in a game played in Spokane’s Joe Albi Stadium. Montana tied Pennsylvania, which had 24 wins in a row from 1992-95, for the longest winning skein in the division. The Griz also set the record for most consecutive Big Sky wins (25) and most league victories on the road with 13 in a row. Senior quarterback John Edwards was named the Big Sky’s co-MVP on offense and senior safety Trey Young was tabbed as the league’s defensive player of the year. Montana defeated Northwestern State 45-14 at home in a first-round playoff game, but lost 24-20 at McNeese State in a quarterfinal contest.

2001: Second National Championship

Montana won its second national championship by defeating Furman 13-6 en route to a 15-1 record. Edwards engineered a 16-play, 99yard scoring drive for UM’s only touchdown in the game. Halfback Yohance Humphery, Montana’s all-time career rushing leader, gained 142 yards on 30 carries in the game and UM’s only touchdown on a 2-yard run, which culminated its 99-yard scoring drive. The Griz defense limited the Paladins to 121 yards rushing and forced three turnovers. Furman’s only score came on a Hail Mary pass as time expired. Humphery wrapped up his illustrious career with 4,070 career rushing yards. The Grizzlies’ 15 victories set a school record (which still stands as of 2013) for the most wins in a season. 2000: Third Trip to the Title Game 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 Chattanooga. Starting senior Griz quarterback Drew Miller was injured late in the first quarter, and Edwards, a sophomore, was called into action. The Griz trailed 20-3 at halftime in rainsoaked Finley Stadium, but took a 23-20 lead early in the fourth quarter on a scoring run by Humphery. The lead was short-lived though, as Eagle halfback and 2000 Walter Payton Award winner Adrian Peterson broke loose for a 57yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter for the game-winning touchdown.

1999-97: Griz Lose Three Straight First-Round Games

Montana dropped three first-round playoff games during this time, but in the 1999 season it set the Big Sky record with its seventh straight FCS playoff appearance, breaking the old standard of six that had been set by former Big Sky member Idaho from 1985-90. In 1999, visiting Youngstown State, coached by Jim Tressel, kicked a late field goal for a 3027 win. In 1998 Montana suffered its worst playoff setback ever — a 52-9 drubbing at Western Illinois. Montana’s three-game playoff losing streak in the first round started in 1997 with a 19-14 setback at McNeese State.

1996: Moss Too Much In Quest For Second Title In A Row

Montana reeled off 14 straight wins to advance to the title game, and for the second year in a row they played at Marshall. Future NFL standout Randy Moss led Marshall with four touchdown catches in a 49-29 win. It was the first time ever that two undefeated (14-0) teams had squared off for the title. In the championship game, Griz sophomore quarterback Brian Ah Yat set (then) playoff records for pass completions with 36 and total plays (67). Senior wide receiver Joe Douglass set a playoff record with 13 receptions, and he also set Montana single-season standards with 82 catches for 18 touchdowns (both still school records), and had 1,469 receiving yards, in UM’s 11 regularseason games.

- 131 -

The Grizzlies won their first national championship with a last-second, 22-20 come-frombehind victory over host Marshall in front of an FCS playoff-record crowd of 32,106 (which still stands) in Huntington, West Virginia. Walter Payton Award-winning quarterback Dave Dickenson passed for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns in Montana’s first three playoff games, when UM out-scored its opponents 16314. In their 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, 72-yard scoring drive, culminating with a 25-yard field goal by Andy Larson with 39 seconds left for the game-winner. The big play in the winning drive took place on a fourth-and-three from the 50-yard line, as Dickenson connected with senior wide receiver Mike Erhardt for a 20-yard gain and a crucial first down. Senior wide receiver Matt Wells scored both of Montana’s touchdowns (24, 1). Montana set playoff records (at the time) with 125 first downs, 137 pass completions, 197 pass attempts, and 1,703 passing yards.

1993-1994: A Program On the Rise

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 37-yard field goal by Larson with eight seconds left to play. Unfortunately, Dickenson was re-injured early in the McNeese win, and he was not able to play in the semifinal – a 28-9 loss to host (and eventual national champion) Youngstown State, which was also coached by Tressel. In 1993, Montana rolled to a 10-1 regularseason record, with its only blemish a 35-30 loss at Oregon. After the 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, as the Blue Hens scored with 55 seconds left to play. The Grizzlies’ 93 victories in the1990’s were the second most in I-AA (Youngstown State won 103).

1989: Griz Host Playoff Games For First Time

Montana hosted and won its first playoff game in school history, beating Jackson State 48-7 in the first round. The Grizzlies defeated visiting Eastern Illinois 25-15 in the quarterfinals, and then lost 45-15 to eventual national champion Georgia Southern in Statesboro in the semis.

First Two Playoff Berths: 1988 & 1982

After a six-year hiatus, in 1988, the Griz earned their first at-large bid into the playoffs, losing on the road 38-19 to fellow Big Sky member Idaho. Montana’s initial trip to the playoffs was in 1982, when it won its first Big Sky


Post-Season Play title since the 1970 season. Despite winning the league championship the Grizzlies had to travel to Moscow, Idaho, losing 21-7 to the Vandals.

1969-1970: Montana Plays For A Pair of College 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 of NCAA’s rules on junior college transfers, the under-manned Griz lost 30-3 to top-ranked North Dakota State in 1969 and 3116 to the same team a year later.

UM offers 15 intercollegiate programs in men’s and women’s basketball, cross country, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, football, women’s golf, soccer, softball and volleyball. Women’s softball began its inaugural season in the spring of 2015. The Grizzlies/Lady Griz compete at the NCAA Division I level and are eligible for postseason competition, except for football, which competes in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly called Division I-AA), that employs a playoff system. Montana is a charter (1963) member of the Big Sky Conference, which celebrated its 50th anniversary recently and is headquartered in Ogden, Utah. There are now 12 schools in the Big Sky Conference plus two football only schools, Cal Poly and UC Davis. The 12 schools are: Eastern Washington, Idaho (all sports but football), Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Portland State, Sacramento State, Weber State, Northern Colorado, North Dakota and Southern Utah; the last two entered the conference in the 2011-12 season. Men’s golf was added in 2014; however, Montana does not participate.
