GAME PREVIEW

GRIZ GAME DAY PREVIEW In a game that already stirs the soul of Montanans from Eureka to Ekalaka (and for that matter, from sea to shining sea), the Griz/Cat rivalry doesn’t need much to bring fans to full fervor. The hype, the implications, the physicality, the emotions – they’re all turned up to 11 every season as the snow begins to fall around the Treasure State. The 2021 Braw of the Wild, however, has all that and more. Much more. On Saturday, the 120th edition of the Montana/Montana State game returns after a two-year layoff and returns to Missoula for the first time in three years. The long-awaited and much-anticipated grudge match features two bitter rivals with top-10 rankings, Big Sky Championship and post-season implications, and a battle royale for a bronze trophy requiring linemen to lug off the field in a celebration that lasts for 365 more days. At high noon on Nov. 20, No. 7 Montana (8-2, 5-2 BSC) and No. 3 Montana State (9-1, 6-0 BSC) meet at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, with each team boasting one of the nation’s top defenses and each holding big-play ability on offense. The Griz have not allowed a touchdown in over 10 quarters of play after shutting out Northern Colorado two weeks ago and keeping NAU out of the end zone. The last touchdown scored against UM was in the second quarter against Southern Utah. It’s the Grizzlies’ second stretch of stifling defense this season. Following Dylan Morris’ 1-yard score for Washington on the opening drive of the season, UM’s defense went 10 more quarters without allowing a touchdown until the fourth quarter of the Cal Poly game when UM had the game in hand the reserves were on the field. Meanwhile, Montana State has some stingy D this season, ranking second nationally in scoring defense at an average of just 11.6 points allowed per contest. On paper, we’ve got a defensive battle in the 2021 Brawl, but in rivalry games like this, something’s got to give.

GAME PREVIEW

GRIZ GAME DAY PREVIEW THE MATCHUP: Riding momentum of a four-game win streak and working its way back to health, the Grizzlies enter Saturday’s game playing some of the best defense in the country while finding its footing on offense with a rotating cast of characters. Defensive Coordinator Kent Baer’s Grizzly defense ranks third nationally in rush defense, fifth nationally in scoring defense, and second nationally in red zone defense after the string of shutouts. But Montana State comes to Missoula with one of the top running attacks in the country, led by Isaiah Ifanse, who currently sits third nationally with 1,208 yards on the ground, an average of 120.8 per contest. The best rushing team vs the best rushing defense. Again, something’s got to give. The Cats have, however, given up the fifth-most yards over the air in the nation this season at 160 per game. Compare that to a Grizzly defense who has had eight interceptions in eight-straight games (by one player – more on that later), and MSU QB Matt McKay might have his hands full. Like it often does, however, Saturday’s game is likely to come down to the fronts. Led by a veteran O-line, Ifanse and MSU is a run-first type unit. But the Griz have outrushed teams in nine of ten games so far this season, controlling the ground game with a veteran O-line of their own. Something’s got to give. IMPLICATIONS: With at least eight wins each under their belts this season, both Montana and Montana State appear to be destined for the FCS playoffs once again, but exactly who earns a bye and who plays in the first round is yet to be determined. A win for Montana likely means a first-round bye as one of eight seeded teams, while a loss likely means a first-round matchup over Thanksgiving weekend. A win would also likely extend Montana’s FCS record 24 playoff appearances in program history. Montana State and Sacramento State each enter the weekend undefeated in league play, meaning Montana could play spoiler for an outright conference championship Saturday as the No. 11 Hornets take on No. 10 UC Davis at Davis. All will be revealed on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. (M.T.) on the FCS Selection Show on ESPNU.

GAME PREVIEW

GRIZ GAME DAY PREVIEW WATCH: Cole Grossman, a tight end, had his best game yet in maroon and silver at NAU, coming up with big play after big play. Grossman posted a game-high 93 receiving yards on just three grabs, totaling 40 yards after the catch. All three of his catches would eventually lead to points for the Grizzly offense as well. The freshman entered the game having scored a TD in three-straight games for UM in the previous three weeks, and was about five yards shy of a fourth-straight at NAU. Grossman enters his first Montana/Montana State game as UM’s third-leading receiver this season with 30 catches for 406 yards and four-total touchdowns, the second-most on the squad. Cam Humphrey led the offense to 427 yards of total offense at NAU, completing 21 of 37 passes while only taking one sack for his best throwing performance of the year. In seven games this season Humphrey has been steady for the Griz, averaging 200 yards of total offense per game with 1,321 yards in the air while completing 111 of his 176 passes. Defensively, Jace Lewis had a monster game for the Grizzly defense with 10 tackles (eight solo), a season-high two sacks, and four total tackles for loss. The senior from Townsend has now put up nine or more tackles in five games this season and is second on the team in TFLs with 13.5.

HONORING THE RECIPIENTS OF THE 2021 UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA

Community Service Award cami and jon skinner The sixth Community Service Award of the 2021-22 season honors Cami and Jon Skinner of Sidney. The Community Service Award, presented to Cami and Jon at today’s game, recognizes support of and service to UM and its athletic programs, as well as service to hometown communities. It is presented by UM and coordinated by the Office of Alumni Relations, the Office of the President, Grizzly Athletics and the Grizzly Scholarship Association. Cami and Jon are proud graduates of UM. Cami earned her bachelor’s degrees in business administration and communication studies in 2003 and went on to receive a master of business administration in 2006. Jon graduated in 2004 with a bachelor’s in elementary education and later returned to UM to earn his master’s in educational leadership in 2013. During their years at UM, Cami was a UM Advocate and member of Delta Gamma sorority, and Jon was a member of the University of Montana Football team.

Since graduation, they have remained active members of the Grizzly Scholarship Association and the Quarterback Club, as well as the Pi Chapter Delta Gamma House Corporation. Cami and Jon are active in Sidney and the surrounding communities where they provide support and service for organizations benefitting youth, education and economic development, including Leadership Montana, Montana Community Foundation and the Masons. When they are not volunteering their time and talents to community organizations, Cami and Jon enjoy fishing, hiking and exploring Montana’s beautiful outdoors with their goldendoodle, Molly. “We are grateful for the quality education and connections made during our time at the University of Montana, and we look forward to contributing to its ongoing success,” Cami says.
