2012-13 GRIZZLY CUP UM’S FEMALE & MALE ATHLETES OF THE YEAR

Olivia Weber, golf, and Mathias Ward, basketball

SERVICE Though service activities and outreach to the community have been taking place for years with individual contributions, Spring 2008 began the official induction of the Griz in the Community service program. The program enables student-athletes to have a holistic college experience by giving back to the surrounding community, speaking to local schools, and serving as role models in the area.

Student-athletes from every team have made over 200 volunteer appearances since the beginning of the program. Since taking office last fall, Athletic Director Kent Haslam has reiterated the fact of just how important giving back to the Missoula community is and has put a special emphasis on this by encouraging each student athlete to get out, volunteer and make a difference.

It was a busy fall semester (2012) where student athletes volunteered over 504 service hours through individual, team and classroom efforts. Some of these efforts included: Habitat for Humanity, Montana Food Bank Network, Missoula Food Bank, Flagship, Hellgate Elementary Fall Into Fitness, and visits to many elementary schools.

2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL – washington-grizzly stadium

UNITED

NO PLACE LIKE HOME! 2013 IS UM’S 28TH SEASON IN WASHINGTON-GRIZZLY STADIUM

washington-grizzly stadium – 2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL

NO PLACE LIKE HOME! 2013 IS UM’S 28TH SEASON IN WASHINGTON-GRIZZLY STADIUM increasing the stadium capacity to 23,183, with a cost around $3.5 million.

In the spring of 1995 the stadium underwent its first expansion in the north and south end zones. At that time there were 12,500 permanent seats, and seating was available, weather-permitting, in the grass end zones, which made the capacity around 15,000. The cost of that expansion was about $2.5 million.

GrizVision, a state-of-the-art video and message center, was added in 2002. GrizVision displays game statistics, player profiles, digital replays, and shots of the crowd. The screen is one of the largest in the FCS, measuring 26 feet by 36 feet, and it came from New York City and Times Square.

A natural-grass stadium gave way to SprinTurf prior to the 2001 season at a cost of about $1 million, which was paid for by an anonymous donor. The field was named “John Hoyt Field” in 2001 at the request of the anonymous donor, in honor of Hoyt, a long-time Grizzly booster, who passed away in March of that year.

The locker rooms measure 4,000-plus square feet. Adams Center features a 7,000-square foot weight room, a 4,500-square foot athletic treatment center, and a meeting room with big screen videos. The women’s locker room covers 4,000 square feet. There are also three other meeting rooms totaling 2,000 square feet.

• Stadium History & Namesake

• The Home of the Grizzlies

The 2013 season is the 28th that The University of Montana football team will call Washington-Grizzly Stadium (capacity 25,217) at John Hoyt Field home.

Last season Montana was ranked second at the Division 1 Football Championship Subdivision level in attendance, averaging 25,236 fans (151,417) in six homes games. (Appalachian State led the nation, averaging 26,358 in seven home games).

The Grizzlies broke their all-time single-game attendance record in 2012, as they drew 26,210 fans in a 16-7 setback to second-ranked Montana State in the 112th meeting between the long time rivals in UM’s regular-season finale. The only other time the Griz have topped the 26,000 mark was in 2011 against Eastern Washington (26,066) and in 2010 versus MSU (26,019), which was the first time more than 26,000 fans had attended any game in the state of Montana.

Montana had 26 winning seasons in a row until last season. The Grizzlies also dropped out of the Sports Networks’ top 25 poll for the first time since 1998. It ended a run of 195 straight appearances dating back to the Nov. 2, 1998 poll. It was the first time in 20 seasons (since 1993) UM ended the season unranked. In 2012 the Griz were 3-3 in WGS – the first time ever they have not been above .500 at home (UM was 3-2 in 1987).

In the 2012 season Montana had three games with more than 25,000 fans in attendance: 25,684 (Southern Utah), 25,254 versus Northern Arizona, and 25,126 in their opener against South Dakota. Four of UM’s six home games in 2012 rank in the top 25 all-time (198 games).

Montana led the FCS in average attendance in 2005, 2006, and 2009, and was ranked second in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2012.

The Griz played just three games in Washington-Grizzly Stadium in their inaugural season in 1986, and that first game on October 18, 1986 was a 38-31 come-from-behind win over Idaho State. Since that first contest the Grizzlies have an overall record of 171-24 (.877).

The Griz are 45-6 (88.2%) in WGS over the past seven seasons. UM set a conference record with 27 consecutive regular-season wins from 2006-08; that skein ended with a 45-28 setback on Oct. 4 at Weber State in 2008.

• No Place Like Home

Not only has Montana won 171 games in its 27 seasons of playing in Washington-Grizzly Stadium, but it has gone undefeated 10 times, including three (9-0 in 2008 and 2009 and 8-0 in 2011) of the last five years.

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.

• New Lights in 2012

The lights were installed in WGS in the spring of 2012. When the Big Sky Conference signed a television contract with ROOTS Sports last season, 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 120-125 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.

• Stadium Expansions

Washington-Grizzly Stadium underwent its third expansion, at a cost of approximately $6.5 million, prior to the 2008 football season.

The eastside expansion now houses a 500-seat “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, which are located between the 25-and-40-yard lines and on both sides of the 50-yard line, as well as 1,150 non-priority seats located on the 10-to-25-yard lines. This expansion increased the current seating capacity of Washington-Grizzly Stadium to 25,217.

The second expansion occurred in the spring and summer of 2003, and approximately 4,000 seats were added to the north end zone section,

2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL YEARBOOK

The plans for an on-campus football facility at Montana came to fruition in August of 1985 when Missoula businessman Dennis R. Washington and the employees of Washington Corporations provided a gift of $1 million, hence the name of Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The initial cost of the stadium was around $3.2 million.

There are 49 private boxes located on the east and west sides of the stadium, and they are individually decorated and furnished.

UNITED

MICK DELANEY: HEAD FOOTBALL COACH, THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA (5-6/Second Season at Montana)

Mick Delaney is in his second season as the head football coach at the University of Montana.

He recently completed his fifth season overall at Montana. From 2008-11 he was UM’s associate head coach and oversaw the running backs. D e l a n e y coached Peter Nguyen, who finished his career in 2012 ranked sixth in school history with 1,985 career rushing yards from 2009-11. He was also instrumental in the development of running back Chase Reynolds, who rushed for 4,067 yards and a school-record 52 touchdowns from 2008-10.

A veteran mentor, Delaney began his coaching career in 1964. The 2013 season will be his 29th season of coaching football at the collegiate level and his 48th overall.

Originally from Butte, he came to Montana from Colorado State where he was an assistant coach for former head coach Sonny Lubick for 15 seasons from 1993-2007. Former Griz head coach Bobby Hauck hired Delaney in 2008, and former mentor Robin Pflugrad retained him as he was the lone holdover from Hauck’s staff.

While at CSU, Delaney coached some of the finest running backs in school history, including five first-team all-conference selections such as Cecil Sapp (2000). Sapp was a finalist for the Doak Walker Award as the nation’s most outstanding running back and set a school rushing record with 1,601 yards in 2002.

Sapp went on to play with the Denver Broncos.

Prior to coaching the Rams, Delaney was the head football coach and athletic director at Western Montana, Dillon, in 1991 and 92. He served as the athletic director at Montana Tech in Butte from 1983-85.

Delaney began his coaching career at Butte Central High School (1964-67) as head wrestling coach and assistant football coach. He also taught English at Central.

Delaney was an assistant football coach under former UM head coach Jack Swarthout from 1968-69. He was the head wrestling coach at Montana at that time as well.

He then moved on to Great Falls High School (1969-76) where he taught English and was an assistant and football coach (197477) and also served as the head wrestling coach. He was also an assistant track and field coach.

He was an assistant coach on Lubick’s staff at Montana State from 1979-80.

He earned his B.A. in education at UM-Western (Western Montana College) in 1964. He is an inaugural inductee into the Western Montana College Sports Hall of Fame and was honored by the Montana Coaches Association in 1972 as the Wrestling Coach of the Year. In 1974 he was named the Football Coach of the Year by that organization. He also belonged to many associations during his athletic career including the Montana Coaches Association from 1968-present.

2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL – outlook

2013 OUTLOOK: GRIZ RETURN 19-PLUS STARTERS MISSOULA, MONTANA – After suffering their first losing season in 27 years, the University of Montana Grizzlies have three primary goals in their sights in 2013 – win the Big Sky Conference; return to the playoffs; and compete for a national championship.

UM’s many past accomplishments speak for themselves. Montana started a 26-season winning skein back in 1986. Last season was the first time in 20 years and just the second in 25 seasons that the Grizzlies have not finished first or second in the conference.

Montana led the Big Sky and was ranked 11th in the country in total offense (452.27 ypg) and rushing (235.73 ypg), and tied for 27th in scoring (31.64 ppg). (The Grizzlies’ Achilles heel was pass defense, where they allowed 299.26 yards a game and were ranked 120th out of 121 teams).

go along with outstanding speed. Counts (5-9, 215,1V), who played as a true freshman last season, rushed for 84 yards in limited action.

“With the transfer of Travon from Marshall to us, it just gives us another dimension at that position, and he has two years left, as does Canada,” Delaney said. “Canada has got bigger and stronger (5-9, 190, 2V), and has not lost any of his quickness, and hopefully he can stay healthy. It’s a solid position with the guys returning, along with Travon, and we will have good depth there.”

Treshawn Favors (5-9, 175, from Mountain Ridge High School in Glendale, Ariz.), and John Nguyen (Peter’s brother), a 5-7, 187-pounder from Bellevue High School in Washington, are two talented additions from the prep ranks.

Sophomore Gavin Hagfors (6-2, 226, 1V) returns at fullback, and Boise State transfer Jamal Wilson (5-11, 238), also a sophomore, will be a factor at fullback as well.

and (junior halfback) Jordan Canada who had a really good spring, and now with the addition of (Boise State transfer) Jamal Wilson at fullback, that allows us to move Joey Counts to halfback on a full-time basis, we have a lot more options offensively,” Delaney said.

Also back are kicker Chris Lider and punter Stephen Shaw, both sophomores. One of UM’s key losses was punt returner/halfback Peter Nguyen, who was ranked among the national leaders in punt returns (18th, 9.88 ypr) and rushing (50th, 84.18 ypg) a year ago and was a four-time all-league pick.

OFFENSE: POSITION-BY-POSITION -QUARTERBACK

Johnson (6-1, 195, 2V), who redshirted last season, passed for 21 touchdowns and rushed for four en route to being named honorable mention all-conference in 2011.

McKinney (6-0, 190, 1V) started UM’s first eight games last year and passed for 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns and rushed for 309 yards and seven scores, but was picked off eight times.

Smithwick-Hann (6-4, 219) started the final three contests last year and threw for 933 yards and eight scores, with three interceptions.

Competing for playing time will be redshirt freshman Brady Gustafson, a 6-7, 230-pounder.

Also in the mix is Makena Simis, a newcomer from Boise’s Capital High School.

Junior running back Jordan Canada

The Grizzlies, who are coming off a 5-6 overall season and went 3-5 league record (tied for eighth), return 19-plus starters and 43 letterman. The team adopted the theme “United” for the 2013 season – and they are on a determined mission to get Montana back to one of the elite teams in the FCS – a position which they have occupied for almost the past three decades.

Ten of those starters return from a defense that was ranked second in the nation in sacks (41) and also second in rush defense (92.55 ypg).

“I really, really expect our defense to be outstanding,” said second-year UM head coach Mick Delaney. “Obviously they haven’t done it on the field as a group yet, but when you look at who we have coming back, plus the younger guys who will provide quality depth, I think our defense could be one of the best in the FCS.” Leading the way are returning All-Americans Jordan Tripp (LB) and Zack Wagenmann (DE), who were both first team all-league selections as well. Other returning starters on “D” are tackles Alex Bienemann and Tonga Takai; linebackers Brock Coyle and John Kanongata’a; cornerbacks Joshua Dennard/Anthony Goodwin and Sean Murray; and safeties Matt Hermanson and Bo Tully.

“I know we are going to be very solid on the offensive side of the football,” Delaney said. “We changed our scheme somewhat, and I think that will benefit the type of players we have. We have great size and depth on the offensive line and will use a two-back set sometimes, or a one-back scheme with two or three tight ends.

“I think that scheme will help our playaction passing game,” Delaney said. “I expect our completion percentage to go way up (it was 63.4% last season) because of what we are doing.

We won’t go down the field as often, but we will still have a nice package to stretch the field.”

All-America tackle Danny Kistler Jr. heads a group of four returning offensive linemen, which also includes center Kjelby Oiland, guard William Poehls, and tackle Trevor Poole. Also back are wide receivers Ellis Henderson and Mitch Saylor, as well as part-time starters Jordan Canada at running back and Logan Hines at center.

Trent McKinney and Shay Smithwick-Hann shared the starting job at quarterback last season, but former starter Jordan Johnson returned to the team after missing the 2012 season due to personal reasons. Johnson emerged as the No. 1 signal-caller after spring drills.

“With our quarterback Jordie Johnson back and the transfer of running back Travon Van 2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL YEARBOOK

said. “Trent and Shay both started in games a year ago. From day one I was very excited about Brady Gustafson. Makena Simis is big (6-2, 195) and physical, and a good football player.

“Obviously we’re extremely excited about the return of Jordie Johnson to the team,” Delaney said. “He started out in spring ball a little rusty early, but soon got back into a groove, and he just has outstanding overall skills.”

-RUNNING BACK/FULLBACK

outlook – 2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL

The O-line has four quality starters returning and a couple of returning lettermen along with five up-and-coming redshirt freshman from UM’s impressive recruiting class of 2012.

Kistler (6-8, 315, Sr., 3V) has started the past three-plus seasons at both tackle (2012) and guard (2010 and 2011), and was a preseason AllAmerica selection. Poehls (6-8, 345, Sr.) missed spring drills due to an injury, but started all 11 games last season.

Oiland (6-4, 290, Sr.) and Poole (6-5, 290, Jr.) both started the first nine games of the year last season.

Oiland, who started his college career as a defensive lineman at UNLV, was an honorable mention all-league pick last season. Logan Hines (6-4, 290, Jr., 1V) had two starts at center last year.

Sophomore John Schmaing (6-7, 291) had two starts a year ago and will compete with Poole for the starting berth at left tackle. Max Kelly (67, 274, RS) and Clint LaRowe (6-2, 275, RS) are

two talented young players vying for playing time at tackle.

Youngsters who could contribute at guard include Devon Dietrich (6-4, 270, Fr., RS), Samson Kaleikini (6-5, 280, So., 1V), McCauley Todd (67, 295, Fr., RS), and Ben Weyer (6-4, 270, Fr., RS).

“I think that when it’s all said and done that our offensive line will have more depth than all of the time that I’ve been here,” Delaney said. “We’ll have a solid two deep, and at this level that does not happen very often.”

-WIDE RECEIVER

Henderson, a 6-0, 185-pound sophomore, is UM’s leading returning receiver with 23 receptions last season (which were the third most on the team), while Saylor, a 6-5, 222-pound junior was right behind him with 22 catches in 2012.

Returning lettermen who should also contribute are Sean Haynes (6-3, 185, Jr., 2V), Chase Naccarato (5-7, 160, So., 1V), Taylor Walcott (60, 177, So., 1V), and Cam Warren (6-0, 177, Sr., 2V). Marq Rogers, a 6-4, 181-pounder from Concordia Lutheran HS (Fort Wayne, Ind.) could see action as a true freshman.

“Wide receiver was a position that we had a lot of questions about going into last year, and it’s kind of like that this season, but we have some very good athletes there,” Delaney said.

“Some of them haven’t been tested yet, but Ellis has been, as has Cam Warren, who I would go to battle with any day of the week, and Saylor has started there as well.

“We got quite a bit of time from Taylor Walcott last year, and Sean Haynes made pretty good strides in the spring,” he continued. “We added Jamaal Jones (6-1, 188, So.) from the University of Washington to that crew, and we have two freshmen coming in who we think may help 21

2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL – outlook Noah Scarver (6-4, 234, from Washburn High School in Minneapolis, Minn.), both have the size and ability to see action as true freshmen.

“Clay had an outstanding spring, plus we have the possibility of three young men adding depth to that position, with Jonathan Richards who we moved from linebacker to tight end, as well as Aschan Richards who has added about 20 pounds or so, plus Jordan Harper who just came back from a mission may lack some size, but has a lot of talent,” Delaney said.

“Plus we think that Mike Ralston and Noah Scarver, two freshmen we have coming in, are both big, physical kids who could both play this year,” he said. “We could surprise some people at the tight end position, although Clay is the only player with any game experience there.”

“Like the offensive line, we’ve got really good competition and depth on the D-line, and I think that’s going to help us to be a good football team week-in and week-out,” he said.

more Jesse Ginn (6-5, 298, So., 1V) and Bo Harris (6-3, 265, Fr., RS) should contribute as well.

“When you talk about football anymore, and things have changed in a lot of respects, one of the main ingredients that give you a chance to be successful is when you have competition at every position,” Delaney said. “We have stressed that here since day one, and when you look at that defensive front, we’ve got eight guys there who will all play.

“We’ve got Zack Wagenmann back at end, who is a tremendous player,” Delaney continued.

“We have Bienemann and Tonga at tackle, who

There are big shoes to fill at this position, as two-time first team All-Big Sky pick Greg Hardy is gone. Senior Clay Pierson (6-3, 239, 3V) emerged as the starter there after spring drills, but the back-ups will all be youngsters.

Sophomores (and cousins) Aschan Richards (6-6, 240, SQ) and Jonathan Richards (6-3, 222, SQ), along with redshirt freshman Jordan Harper (6-3, 215) will all compete for “PT.” A pair of incoming players could be called upon this season.

with 13 and UM’s sixth (tie) leading tackler with 50 stops. Talented sophomore Tyrone Holmes (6-4, 245) will start at the other defensive end spot, vacated by UM’s only starter lost on defense, Josh Harris (who had 39 tackles and 3.5 sacks a year ago). Holmes had 5.0 sacks in just one start a year ago.

Sophomore Derek Crittenden (6-3, 240, 1V) and redshirt freshmen Ryan Johnson and Zach Peevey, both listed at 6-2 ½, 250, will all see action at end.

Tackles Alex Bienemann (6-2, 285, Sr., 3V) and Tonga Takai (6-2, 315, Jr., 2V) started all 11 games last season, and were both named honorable mention all-conference. They were UM’s 11th and 12th leading tacklers a year ago, with 32 and 30 stops. Bienemann was third on the squad with 7.0 tackles for loss.

(5-11, 215, 3V) were the team’s first, second, and third leading tacklers last season, and accounted for 274 of 912 total tackles, or 30.0% of UM’s stops. Tripp had a team-high 13.5 tackles for loss for 1.23 a game, which tied him for 25th in the FCS. Coyle, an honorable mention all-league pick, averaged 9.73 tackles per game, tying him for 28th in the nation.

“I’ve said it before, that I would not trade those three for any three linebackers at any level, FCS or FBS, and I know that sounds like a huge statement,” Delaney said. “That is just a tremendous threesome at linebacker.”

Once again the Griz will have quality depth at a position, with talented Jeremiah Kose (6-2, 230, So., JC/RS), Connor Lebsock (6-2, 205, So., SQ/RS), Kelsey Lippert (6-0, 212, So., SQ), Addison Owen (6-2, 220, So., 1V), and Kendrick Van Ackeren (6-1, 215, So., TR) biting at the bits to get into the game and contribute.

“We have very good depth at linebacker with five young guys who can step in there and make plays for us and give us a chance to win games,” Delaney said. “That’s what makes us excited about this football team – we’ve got depth at every position on the football field. I realize some of them

Joshua Dennard (5-11, 185, Jr., 2V), Anthony “Chief ” Goodwin (6-1, 180, Sr., 1V), Nate Harris (5-10, 180, So., 1V), and Sean Murray (61, 190, Sr., 3V) all started at cornerback one time last season.

Murray started in 10 contests, and tied for sixth on the team with 50 tackles, and was an honorable mention all-league selection. Dennard and Goodwin started five contests each.

Dennard was UM’s eighth leading tackler (46 total tackles), while Goodwin was 10th with 38 stops. Harris was 14th on the squad with 26 tackles.

Those veterans will be challenged by talented redshirt freshman J.R. Nelson (6-0, 177) and sophomore transfer Jamal Anderson (5-11, 180, So., JC).

“Chief (Goodwin) had a really good spring, and he just got better and better each game last season,” Delaney said. “Josh and Nate have a year under their belts, and Sean Murray started a bunch of games for us, plus I really like J.R. Nelson.

“That was a real emphasis in recruiting, and I think we have two corners coming in who will have an opportunity to play, although one may play at safety,” Delaney said. “Marquin Russell (6-0, 185, from Lakes HS in Lakewood, Wash.) and Ryan McKinley (6-1, 187, from Boulder Creek HS in Anthem, Ariz.) are both good looking young football players with excellent size.”

2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL YEARBOOK

Free safety Matt Hermanson (6-1, 198, Jr., 2V) and strong safety Bo Tully (6-2, 199, Sr., 3V) had 67 and 64 stops a year ago – ranking them fourth and fifth on the team. Each also had two interceptions, tying them with Murray for the squad lead.

Hermanson was an all-conference honorable mention pick. Senior Steven Rominger (510, 186, 3V) had the 16th most tackles on the squad with 23.

Sophomores Herbert Gamboa (6-1, 195, 1V) and Justin Whitted (6-1, 191, 1V) will both see action as well.

“I am really excited about the way Justin played in the spring, and Herbert is probably the third or fourth fastest guy on the whole football team. We’ve got five quality guys there, and one of those freshman corners will probably end up at safety.”

Lider (6-1, 199, 1V) made 15-of-21 (71.4%) of his field goal attempts. His 1.36 field goals a game ranked him ninth (tie) in the FCS. He was 37-of-41 in PAT attempts and scored a team-high 82 points.

Shaw (6-3, 260, 1V) was 21st in the country, averaging 41.83 per punt, and 23 of his 54 attempts (42.6%) were inside the opponents’ 20yard line.

“They both have outstanding potential,” Delaney said. “That year of experience that Chris has should give him some confidence. I think he’s learned how to take the pressure that goes along with that position. He will be an outstanding place-kicker for us. I think that Stephen Shaw is going to be one of the top two or three punters at the FCS level. He’s got a very strong leg.

“I think we have a very good group of return guys, in both the punt return and kickoff return areas,” he said. “We’ve got Jordie (Tripp) for the long snaps and Kjelby (Oiland) and Tonga (Takai) for the short snaps.”

UM also added preferred walk-on kicker/ punter Ben Worst from Twin Falls High School (Idaho). Worst kicked two 52-yard field goals as a prep.

“We are bringing in Ben Worst as a punter and a kicker, and he appears to have a ton of tal24

ent, although he hasn’t done it at the college level yet,” Delaney said. “He has done some things at kicking camps around the country that will keep both Chris and Stephen, sort-of-speak. honest day-to-day.”

2013 SCHEDULE

The Griz have a stern test in their opener, hosting long-time FCS powerhouse Appalachian State on August 31 in a 7:00 p.m. contest in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Other non-league contests are road games at North Dakota (Sept.

14) and at South Dakota (Nov. 9), and against Oklahoma Panhandle State (Sept. 21).

“When I first saw the ‘App. State’ game and then that we had to go back to North Dakota (UM played UND in Grand Forks last season and also go there again in 2014), and a home-andhome against South Dakota it concerned me,” Delaney said. “I thought why would we do something like this? But the more I thought about it over the winter and spring, the more I liked the

idea. We want to open with App. State. We want to challenge our players. They want to be challenged. That will tell us right off the bat what type of football team that we’re going to have. They have an excellent, excellent FCS football team that’s about to move up to the FBS. I guess you can say I changed my thinking, especially about that game, because I have so much confidence in our football team and in our coaches. ‘Bring it on’ I guess is the best way to say it. We’ll play games week-by-week and see what happens.

“We really have a tough Big Sky schedule, but as I said last season, the league is much better with the addition of those four teams last year, not to mention the impressive run that our league had in the playoffs last year,” he said.

“It’s a very difficult schedule, but we can’t worry about that,” he continued. “We’re going to worry about App. State coming in here for a night game on August 31st, and then the old coaches’ cliche – ‘take them one game at a time,’ and be prepared to play physically and mentally, and let the chips fall where they may.”

“We are just extremely excited to have him back, and I think we will see that, hopefully, he has not missed a beat in his year off. I just think that this is a very deserving pre-season accolade for Jordan, and gives him something very positive to start the season with.

“It says a lot by the rest of the guys that he was voted one of our team captains this year. This is my sixth season (with the Griz), and it’s the first time since I’ve been here that we had a junior captain on offense. That in itself displays the type of leadership that he displays, and the type of person that he is.”

Jordan Tripp is one of those special guys that does everything that you ask him to and more, both on and off the field.

He’s a tremendous football player. He runs so well. As I said earlier, he helps the other 10 guys on defense to play with the same passion and make plays. I think that he will have the type of season to make him a solid candidate for the Buck Buchanan Award.”

“We’ve got a couple of younger guys behind those two who will be able to spell them more often, which will help to keep them a little fresher and help to make them better players late in games. Certainly Tyrone is a young man who we expect to get an awful lot out of this fall.”

“Zack is a leveridge guy. He’s 6-3 ½ and can really run. With him coming in on one side and Tyrone (Holmes) coming off the other, I think that frees up our inside guys and our linebackers a little bit. We’re excited to have Zack back and healthy.”

MONTANA: Matt will start for the second straight season at free safety.

MONTANA: Kjelby will start at center for the second season in a row in 2013.

He is also UM’s short snapper.

He was second on the team with 586 yards rushing, and had a career-high 167 at Eastern Washington on just 19 carries. He tied for seventh on the team with 15 receptions. He was ranked 95th in the FCS with 55.60 rush yards a game.

2011: He was the Grizzlies’ second leading rusher with 580 yards and had a team-high 9 touchdown runs. He was eighth on the team with 14 receptions. He played in 13 games and had one start (Weber State). He had a 46-yard run in a 28-24 win at Northern Arizona with 4:26 left to play.

2010: He was a redshirt at Montana.

HIGH SCHOOL: He had an exceptional junior year at Duarte High School, rushing 149 times for more than 1,900 yards and 19 touchdowns... averaged 13.2 points per game his junior year...he also played defensive back...did not play football his senior year at South Hills High School when he and his brother (Jaime) transferred there...was named team MVP at Duarte HS as a sophomore and junior, and was coached there by Wordell Crutchfield.

CAREER HIGHS: He had 21 carries at Weber State in 2012. He had three or more receptions in three games a year ago. He had a career-long 31yard catch at Northern Colorado last season.

QUOTING HEAD COACH MICK DELANEY: “I think Jordan is a young man who has matured. When you look back on his career so far here, he hasn’t been able to stay healthy and struggled with school a bit. Part of it was maturity and getting used to playing Division I football, and I have to give coach (Justin) Green credit with helping him turn the corner.

“He had an excellent spring. He’s going to be a factor in the Big Sky this season. You put him and Travon Van and Joey Counts together, and between the three of them, I honestly think that group will be close to 2,000 yards or more rushing this season.”

HIGH SCHOOL: He had an outstanding senior year at Washington High School, leading his team to a second straight 13-0 season, and second consecutive state championship.

QUOTING HEAD COACH MICK DELANEY: “Matt played injured almost the entire season last year. It was a foot injury and he was probably at 75 percent as far as his ability to run, and in the secondary that is obviously a crucial factor. He had surgery right after the season was over and was cleared to play when we came back from spring break, and man he looked like the player we’d seen the year before and in high school by the end of spring ball.

He’s gained weight and he’s going to be a real force for us at safety.”

He never missed a day in the winter. He was a leader out there. He pushed himself as hard as he could. This spring he was just an outstanding leader as far as that offensive line goes.

“He and Danny (Kistler) were both great leaders for us out there this spring, as will (senior guard) William Poehls be for us this fall (Poehls missed spring drills because of an injury). Kjelby will be a fine center for us this year. He has a whole year as a starter. He expects big things of himself now. He wants to be the best center in the Big Sky, and he will really fight for that honor as the season goes on.”

We moved him from safety to defensive end as he started to mature, but he was slowed by injuries his first couple of years here.

“He’s just a tremendous athlete, and we knew there had to be a position for him. We thought tight end would be the position on offense that would give him an opportunity to do something. He really hasn’t had a chance to play the position that much. He’s our senior tight end, and he will be an important part of our offense. He runs well, catches the ball well, and he’s becoming a fine blocker.”

Coach (Jake) Cookus played the position at Oregon State, and he understands the position, and those safeties just improved tremendously this spring.

“I expect Bo to be leaps and bounds better than he’s been the last two years, just for the fact that he has a coach who understands exactly what you have to do at that position. Bo is a tremendously smart young man. He has a great work ethic. I am excited about our two starting safeties, plus I feel like we have solid depth at that position too.”

Big Sky Conference Newcomer of the Year Candidate

BROCK COYLE Senior Linebacker

8 – TRAVON VAN

• Running Back • 5-11, 195, Jr., TR • San Diego, Calif.

• Marshall/Helix High School MONTANA: Travon (trey-vonn) is a very talented halfback and along with fellow junior Jordan Canada could give the Grizzlies two of the most talented pair of running backs in the FCS in the country.

MARSHALL: He was the second leading rusher for Marshall as a redshirt freshman in 2011, when he rushed 143 times for 551 yards and three touchdowns, and was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman Team, playing in all 13 games with two starts. He also caught 21 passes for 171 yards. After three games in the 2012 season he led the Herd with 93 yards on 39 carries, but was moved then to defense, which led to his transfer to Montana. His head coach at Marshall was Doc Holliday.

HIGH SCHOOL: He rushed for 1,237 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior at Helix High School in San Diego before attending the Milford (N.Y.) Academy. He was rated a four-star recruit by several recruiting services and originally signed with the University of Florida. He also had offers from West Virginia, USC, Miami (Fla.), and several other schools. He also lettered in track and field and baseball at Helix High School.

CAREER HIGHS (at Marshall in 2011): Travon had 17carries for 114 yards and a 69-yard touchdown run at Tulsa...caught six passes for 68 yards in a (34-27) overtime win at East Carolina, including a 24-yarder that set up the game-winning touchdown.

PERSONAL: His major is sociology. Birth date: May 6, 1991. Travon’s parents Willie and Janette Van of San Diego.

QUOTING HEAD COACH MICK DELANEY: “Travon is just a very pleasant addition to the Grizzly football team. He came here from Marshall for a good reason, I think. It was a matter of a position thing, where they wanted to move him from running back to the secondary to play corner. He left there in a positive manner socially and academically.

“When you get a drop-down you want a good student, a good person, and of course a good football player, and I think ‘Tra’ is all of those, and he will be in the mix with Jordan Canada and Joey Counts at our running back position.

He’ll be an exciting player for us this year.”

AT MONTANA 35, SOUTH DAKOTA 24

AT APPALACHIAN STATE 35, MONTANA 27

MISSOULA, MONTANA (9/1/12) – The Grizzlies’ two senior running backs rushed for more than 100 yards each, as the 10th/11thranked host Grizzlies defeated the University of South Dakota Coyotes 35-24 in the season opener for the teams Saturday afternoon in front of 25,156 partisan fans in UM’s Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

Dan Moore had career-highs of 27 carries for 148 yards and a touchdown, while fellow UM senior halfback Peter Nguyen had 10 totes for 192 yards and a score. The Grizzlies picked up a schoolrecord 34 first downs in the win.

UM (1-0) dominated USD in total yards (568 to 233) and first downs (34 to 9), but found itself in an eight point (24-16) deficit midway through the third quarter.

Montana led 16-10 at halftime, but the Coyotes, coached by former (2000-02) Griz mentor Joe Glenn, scored back-to-back touchdowns in a little more than a minute to take a 24-16 lead at the 9:47 mark of the third stanza.

On its first play of the third period quarterback Josh Vander Maten hit fellow sophomore Terrance Terry for an 80-yard downtown bomb, giving USD a 17-16 edge. Just a few plays later safety Charlie Goro picked off a Trent McKinney pass and returned it 50 yards for another score to give the visitors the 24-16 advantage.

The Grizzlies quickly regained the momentum, though, with a bit of trickery, as on the their next series senior tight end Greg Hardy connected with senior wide receiver Bryce Carver for a 39-yard touchdown, and UM cut the USD lead to 24-22 with 7:11 left in the third.

Two series after Hardy’s first career pass attempt and subsequent TD, the Grizzlies scored back-to-back touchdowns thanks to two straight USD turnovers.

The first USD mistake came when UM linebacker John Kanongata’a picked off a Vander Maten pass, and the Griz took possession of the ball on the Coyotes’ 34-yard line. Two runs by Nguyen picked up 20 yards, and then Moore broke free for a 14-yard scoring jaunt, and Montana led 28-24 with 4:49 remaining in the third stanza and would lead the rest of the way.

The Griz added an insurance score when sophomore defensive end Tonga Takai recovered a Coyote fumble on the USD 13-yard line.

Three plays later Nguyen scored on a 3-yard run with 3:25 left in the third, in what proved to be the final points of the game.

Montana took an early 10-0 lead on a 21-yard field goal by redshirt freshman kicker Chris Lider and a 4-yard scoring pass from McKinney to senior wide receiver Sam Gratton. USD then cut the UM lead to 10-3 on a field goal by Kevin Robb with 10:33 left in the second quarter.

The Griz took a 16-3 lead on an 18-yard scoring strike from McKinney to junior wide receiver Cam Warren (his first career TD) with 6:08 left until intermission. An 8-yard Vander Maten to Terry pass made it 16-10 Grizzlies at the break.

The USD pick for a touchdown was one of the few mistakes that McKinney, a redshirt freshman in his first start, would make in the contest. The 6-0, 205-pounder from Mililani, Hawaii, was 26-of-32-1 (81.3%) for 214 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and he also rushed 13 times for 65 yards.

Gratton and sophomore wide-out Sean Haynes had a game-high 5 receptions each, while Carver and Nguyen had 4 grabs each. Warren had 3 grabs for 41 yards and a score.

The Griz racked up 315 yards rushing on 64 carries, ran 98 plays, and had an 11-minute edge (35:57 to 23:03) in time of possession to go along with their single-game record of 34 total first downs.

Junior linebacker Jordan Tripp led the Griz with 10 tackles, and also had a sack and a forced fumble. Kanongata’a added 8 stops, while senior linebacker Josh Stuberg added 6 tackles. The Grizzly defense held USD to 233 total yards (61 rushing) and 9 first downs.

BOONE, N.C. (9/8/12) – It was everything it was expected to be, but if you are a member of Griz Nation it did not come out the way you wanted it to.

It was a match-up between two of the powerhouse programs in the FCS, and it came down to the final minutes, but the host team scored two fourth-quarter TDs in the victory.

Quarterback Jamal Jackson threw two touchdown passes, and running back Steven Miller rushed for two scores as the 8th/11thranked Appalachian State Mountaineers held off the never-say-die 9th/12th-ranked University of Montana Grizzlies for a 35-27 victory in front of 30,856 mostly partisan fans in ASU’s Kidd Brewer Stadium.

Montana had its biggest play of the young season with 8:54 left to play, as senior running back Dan Moore caught a screen pass from redshirt freshman Trent McKinney, and Moore broke free for an 87-yard touchdown – tying the school record for the fifth longest scoring reception – and cutting the ASU lead to 2827. Unfortunately, redshirt freshman kicker Chris Lider missed the ensuing PAT, and the Mountaineers led by one point.

ASU tacked on a security TD with 5:05 remaining on a 2-yard touchdown run by Miller.

Despite four turnovers, the Griz had a chance to tie the game on their last series. They advanced the ball to the ASU 42-yard line, but with 18 seconds left McKinney was picked off and the Mountaineers secured the win.

ASU had regained the lead with 13:03 left in the game; Jackson hit junior wide-out Andrew Peacock for a 25-yard touchdown, and ASU took a 28-21 lead.

The third quarter wasn’t anything like the first two, as the defenses played very well, and neither team scored in that stanza.

The Griz tied the game for the second time in the opening half, when McKinney hooked up with senior wide receiver Sam Gratton for a 7-yard TD pass, making the score 21-all with 35 seconds remaining until intermission. It was an impressive first half for UM, as they gained 306 total yards, while ASU had 179.

ASU took the lead on its second possession of the game, a 9-play, 60-yard drive, capped off by a 13-yard scoring run by senior halfback Steven Miller, giving the home team a 14-7 lead at the 3:23 mark of the first stanza.

The Mountaineers took advantage of Montana’s second turnover of the first quarter, as Jackson scored on a 5-yard run to give ASU a 21-7 cushion. ASU started that drive on the Griz 27-yard line after true freshman Chase Naccarato fumbled on a kickoff return.

The Griz cut the ASU lead to 21-14 on a 9-play, 75-yard scoring drive with 13:12 left until half, as McKinney scored his first career rushing touchdown on a 10-yard run.

Both teams scored on their first possessions of the game. The Grizzlies took a 7-0 lead on a 2-yard touchdown pass from McKinney to fellow redshirt freshman Gavin Hagfors, who scored on his first career catch.

The Mountaineers came right back, though, as Jackson connected with wide receiver Shawn Rice on a 32-yard scoring pass, knotting the score at 7-7 with 9:18 to go in the opening quarter.

McKinney was 15-of-29 for a career-high 307 yards and 3 TDs, but he was picked off three times. Gratton had 3 receptions for 104 yards and one score – all in the first half. Moore rushed 15 times for 93 yards and had 3 catches for a career-high 145 yards.

McKinney gained 68 yards on 13 totes.

The Griz defense was led by sophomore free safety Matt Hermanson with 12 tackles, while junior linebacker John Kanongata’a added 10 stops.

Jackson was 24-of-34-0 for 260 yards and 2 TDs. Miller rushed 27 times for 91 yards.

NORTHERN ARIZONA 41, AT MONTANA 31

MISSOULA, MONTANA (9/15/12) – Under a hazy, smokefilled sky due to nearby forest fires, the 14th-ranked Grizzlies defeated the visiting Liberty University Flames in UM’s final nonleague game of the season in Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

They say the numbers don’t lie, but they did this time. In the first meeting of these two teams, Liberty had more first downs, more passing yards and more time with the ball. While the Flames may have seemed more dominant offensively, Montana used their time efficiently to rack up 201 rushing yards, almost 10 times that of what Liberty (0-3) put on the board, and it paid off by giving the Grizzlies (2-1) their second victory of the season.

Montana built up some much-needed momentum when senior halfback Peter Nguyen returned a 90-yard punt for a touchdown with 5:54 left in the first quarter. Nguyen’s return ranks as the third longest punt return in school history.

To open up the second quarter, Montana’s defense forced a fumble to give the Grizzlies possession of the ball at Liberty’s 32yard line. On the next play, Dan Moore pummeled through Liberty’s defense for a touchdown. Montana lengthened its lead 14-0.

With a little less than ten minutes left to go in the quarter, redshirt freshman quarterback Trent McKinney rushed six yards into the end zone to up the Grizzly lead to 21-0.

Redshirt freshman kicker Chris Lider was looking to improve his consistency, and he did just that. To close out the second quarter, Lider kicked a 42-yard field goal to put the Griz up 24-0.

Liberty tried to stage a comeback with a 14-yard touchdown pass from redshirt freshman quarterback Josh Woodrum to senior wide receiver Pat Kelly to put the Flames on the board in the third quarter, while their defense held Montana to no touchdowns in that stanza.

To start off the fourth quarter, Montana answered back with a touchdown of its own. McKinney connected a two-yard pass with senior tight end Greg Hardy to put one in the end zone. The Grizzlies distanced themselves from the Flames 31-7.

Less than two minutes later, the Flames created some momentum of their own on a five-play, 92-yard scoring drive that culminated with a 31-yard pass from Woodrum to senior wide receiver Ryan Ferguson. The Grizzly defense held strong and handed the game off to the offense with 5:34 left to go in the game. They put Lider in position to connect on a 46 yard field goal – a career long.

The Grizzlies ended the game with a bang when redshirt freshman linebacker Nick Holt forced a Liberty fumble which was recovered by redshirt freshman safety Justin Whitted. Montana rolled down the clock and closed out the game at Liberty’s 17-yard line.

McKinney completed 19 of 26 passes for 95 yards and rushed for 28 yards on seven totes. He had no interceptions and was sacked once. Hardy had seven receptions for 29 yards and one touchdown. Moore racked up 92 yards with 16 carries. The Grizzlies, who had four turnovers at Appalachian State, turned the ball over just once on a fumble.

Montana’s defense was led by junior linebacker John Kanongata’a, who had 10 tackles, while redshirt sophomore defensive end Zack Wagenmann had three stops for loss, a pair of sacks, and a pass deflection.

Woodrum was 34-of-440-1 for 322 yards and two touchdowns, while Kelly had 14 receptions for 88 yards and a TD.

MISSOULA, MONTANA (9/22/12) – The Northern Arizona Lumberjacks snapped a 14-game winning skein by The University of Montana Grizzlies, and they also ended UM’s 19-game Homecoming winning streak on a warm, smoky day in WashingtonGrizzly Stadium.

It was also the first win ever over the Griz for NAU mentor Jerome Souers, a former (1986-97) longtime assistant coach at UM, in his 14th season as the head man in Flagstaff.

Junior halfback Zach Bauman rushed for a career-high 253 yards along with 3 touchdowns to lead the Jacks, and the NAU defense forced five Griz turnovers.

It was a game of two completely halves for the Griz.

Montana rallied from an early 7-0 deficit and scored 24 unanswered points, and the Grizzlies took a 24-7 lead with 13:16 remaining in the second quarter on a 12-yard touchdown run by senior halfback/fullback Dan Moore.

But after Moore’s scoring run gave UM a 17-point advantage, NAU racked up six consecutive unanswered scores, and took a 4124 lead on Bauman’s third scoring run of the afternoon, this on a 2-yarder with just 5:53 left in the contest.

The Griz finally got on the board after more than a 40-minutes scoring drought, as sophomore quarterback Shay SmithwickHann hit redshirt freshman wide receiver Ellis Henderson on a 45-yard touchdown pass with 1:58 left to go.

Bauman showed a sign of things to come on NAU’s first play from scrimmage, as he broke loose for an 11-second, 75-yard scoring run, giving the Jacks an early 7-0 lead.

However, the Griz bounced right back, as redshirt freshman kicker Chris Lider hit a 27-yard field goal and then Moore regained the lead for his team on a 6-yard scoring run (which was set up thanks to a blocked punt by junior tight end Clay Pierson), making it 10-7 UM with 9:49 left in the first quarter. Moore’s scoring burst was followed by a 31-yard TD jaunt by redshirt freshman Trent McKinney, and then Moore’s 12-yard score, but those 24 points would be all that Montana would muster.

NAU cut the Griz lead to 10 points with 9:15 left in the second quarter on a 3-yard run by senior transfer Covaughn (Cal) DeBoksie-Johnson, and it ended up 24-14 UM at halftime.

The Jacks took the lead back for good in the third quarter on a touchdown pass from senior quarterback Cary Grossart to sophomore tight end R. J. Rickert, which was followed up by a pair of field goals by junior kicker Andy Wilder, and Wilder’s 23-yarder with 1:49 left in the third stanza gave NAU the lead (27-24) for good.

Bauman, who had 29 carries and gave NAU some breathing room, scored on touchdown runs of 20 and 2 yards in the final quarter, the second scoring run coming with 5:53 left to play in the contest.

McKinney had a solid first half, going 13-of-17-1 for 161 yards and rushing five times for 50 yards. But he struggled in the final two quarters, and finished the game 20-of-34-3 for 199 yards, and had 49 total rushing yards due to two sacks.

Senior wide receiver Sam Gratton had a game-high 5 catches for 72 yards, while Henderson had 3 grabs for 99 yards and a TD. Moore led the Griz with 12 carries for 74 yards and two touchdowns, but fumbled twice, and both miscues were recovered by NAU. Brock Coyle had a career and game-high 15 tackles, while fellow junior linebacker Jordan Tripp added 12 stops. Sophomore end Zack Wagenmann and junior safety Bo Tully had 10 tackles apiece.

Grossart, who had missed NAU’s previous two games because of a knee injury, was 16-of-23-0 for 138 yards and one touchdown.

MONTANA 40, AT NORTHERN COLORADO 17

CHENEY, WASH. (9/29/12) – It was a heartbreaking loss for the Grizzlies, as the Eagles had two late-game scores in the last two-and-a-half minutes to overcome a 26-17 Grizzlies lead.

EWU started off the first quarter with a touchdown with 10:47 left in the first quarter, as running back Demitrius Bronson rushed for a 5-yard TD to give the Eagles an early 7-0 lead.

UM answered with a touchdown of their own, as senior halfback Peter Nguyen scored on a 37-yard run to tie the game at 7-7 with 4:40 left to go in the first quarter.

EWU regained the lead when Vernon Adams hit wide receiver Brandon Kaufman for a 36-yard scoring pass, making it 14-7 EWU with 11:42 left in the second quarter.

UM cut the margin to 14-10 on a 27-yard field goal by Chris Lider with 7:10 to go until the half. The Eagles’ Kevin Miller kicked a 19-yard kick to close out the first half, EWU leading 17-10.

The Grizzlies put together a 15-play, 73-yard drive, with redshirt freshman quarterback Trent McKinney scoring on a 7-yard run to start the third quarter. Lider missed the PAT, though, and the Eagles led 1716.

The Griz recovered a fumble by Miller on the Eagles’ 8-yard line, and two plays later sophomore halfback Jordan Canada scored on a 2-yard run and UM led 23-17. Lider tacked on another field goal to give UM a 26-17 lead with 8:26 remaining in the game, but Adams completed pass after pass and hit Kaufman on a 30-yard touchdown pass to cut the Grizzlies’ lead to 26-24 with 2:19 left to play.

EWU then recovered an onside kick and scored the go-ahead touchdown after wide receiver Ashton Clark caught a 20-yard scoring pass from Adams. EWU then converted a two-point conversion to take a 36-32 lead with just 53 seconds left to play.

The Grizzlies rushed 61 times for 407 yards, and passed for 126, out-gaining the Eagles 533 to 447 in total yards.

Once again, Montana battled turnovers, though, as they fumbled the ball away three times. The Griz lost one fumble on the EWU 12yard line, another one on the Eagles’ 5-yard line, and then finally on an onside kick on the UM 49-yard line, which led to the winning touchdown.

The Griz rushed 61 times for 407 yards and were led by Jordan Canada, who gained a career-high 168 yards on 19 carries, while Nguyen added 123 yards on 23 totes. Senior Dan Moore rushed four times for 24 yards and left the game early with an ankle injury. McKinney rushed for 25 yards and was 14-of-17-0 passing for 126 yards.

Montana’s defense was led by linebackers Brock Coyle and Jordan Tripp, with 12 tackles apiece, and Tripp also had three tackles for loss and a forced fumble.

Adams was 25-for-41-1 for 353 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 60 yards to tally 407 yards of total offense. Kaufman had eight receptions for 138 yards and two touchdowns.

GREELEY, COLO. (10/6/12) – The Grizzlies came to life in the second half to snap a two-game losing streak and spoiled the Bears’ Homecoming game to get their first Big Sky Conference win of the season.

After suffering two disheartening losses against Northern Arizona (41-31) and Eastern Washington (32-26), Montana desperately needed the victory.

For one of the first times this season, UM was on the opposite side of the turnover battle, as they had none, while the Bears had five. Joshua Dennard, Bo Tully, and Nate Harris all intercepted passes by NC quarterback Seth Lobato.

The interception that turned the momentum Montana’s way was an interception thrown by NC punter Mason Puckett. After Puckett had received a bad snap and bobbled the ball, he tried a desperation pass that landed in senior special team captain Caleb Walden’s hands, who returned it 18 yards for a TD, and the Griz had an improbable 7-0 lead with 13:41 to go in the second quarter.

UM would lead for the rest of the game. To end the half, redshirt freshman kicker Chris Lider hit a 34-yard field goal as time expired to give Montana a 10-0 advantage at intermission.

The Bears got right back in the game, though, as senior Dominic Gunn returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown to get NC on the board at the 14:46 mark of the third quarter. Gunn had a 94-yard kickoff return for a TD last season against UM, but UM’s offense came alive in the second half, led by senior halfback Peter Nguyen along with freshman redshirt quarterback Trent McKinney, who helped the Griz gain 223 yards in the final two quarters of play.

Nguyen rushed for a 13-yard score to give Montana a 17-7 lead at the 11:04 mark of the third quarter.

On NC’s next possession, they hit a 24-yard field goal, to keep within one touchdown (17-10) of Montana.

The Griz came right back, as McKinney rushed for a 12- yard TD with 5:42 left in the third quarter, the Grizzlies taking a 24-10 lead.

Montana scored again to start of the fourth quarter, as McKinney connected with junior wide receiver Cam Warren for a 17yard touchdown. Lider missed the extra point, but Montana led 30-10, with 14:54 left to play.

Junior halfback Tromaine Dennis fumbled the ball on NC’s next possession, and the ball was recovered by junior linebacker Brock Coyle at the Bear’s 27-yard line, and Coyle returned it 23 yards to NC’s 4-yard line. Montana had to settle for a 19-yard field goal by Lider with 12:58 left, but led 33-10.

The Grizzlies picked up their final touchdown when sophomore running back Brett Kirschner, who was in the grasp of an NC defender, lateraled the ball to McKinney, who scored from one yard out, giving UM a 30-point (40-10) lead with 6:17 left.

NC managed its only offensive score of the game when Lobato connected with Gunn for a 24-yard TD with 1:32 left.

Nguyen rushed for a career-high of 159 yards on just 15 carries, to average 10.6 yards per attempt. McKinney had 10 carries for 65 yards. As a team, the Grizzlies racked up 294 yards in rushing on 46 carries. McKinney was 14-of-25-0 passing for 142 yards.

Coyle had a career-high 11 tackles, along with a sack and the fumble recovery. Sophomore defensive end Zack Wagenmann had 5 tackles and two sacks. Of the 58 Grizzly players who traveled to Greeley, 57 played.

Lobato was 25-of-42-3 passing for 259 yards and a touchdown. Dennis led the Bears in rushing yards with 14 carries for 50 yards.

SOUTHERN UTAH 30, AT MONTANA 20

AT NORTH DAKOTA 40, MONTANA 34

MISSOULA, MONTANA (10/13/12) – The Southern Utah Thunderbirds handed The University of Montana Grizzlies another disappointing loss in front of a home crowd of 25,684 Saturday afternoon in Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

SUU outscored Montana 17-3 in the second half to overcome a four-point (17-13) halftime deficit. With the win the T-Birds improved to 3-4 overall and 2-2 in Big Sky Conference play while Montana dipped to 3-4 and 1-3 in league games.

Montana took an early lead when quarterback Trent McKinney hit junior tight end Clay Pierson for a 6-yard touchdown pass, and Chris Liders’ PAT gave the Griz a 7-0 lead. SUU pulled within one point (7-6) after recovering a UM fumble on a punt return, as quarterback Brad Sorensen hit Fatu Moala for a 7-yard scoring pass. The T-Birds’ PAT failed, though, and Montana had a slim 7-6 lead with 11 seconds left in the first quarter.

Lider gave the Grizzlies a 10-6 lead with a 43-yard field goal early (13:01) in the second period, but the Thunderbirds took advantage of a short field when UM punter Stephen Shaw shanked a 15-yarder to set SUU up on the UM 43-yard line. SUU scored on the take-way, as Sorensen connected with wide receiver Henna Brown for a 20-yard touchdown, and that gave the T-Birds a 13-10 lead with 6:06 to play in the half.

Montana got the ball back and put together its longest drive of the game, an 11-play, 82-yard effort, that culminated with a 2-yard McKinney TD run, and UM regained the lead (17-13) with 2:06 left until intermission and held onto that slim advantage at the break.

With 5:55 to go in the third quarter, SUU put together a 12play, 77-yard scoring drive, as Sorenson scored on a quarterback sneak to give his team a 20-17 lead.

Montana was scoreless in the third quarter, but with 7:58 to go in the game, Lider booted a 42-yard field goal to tie up the game at 20-20. The Griz had a couple of scoring opportunities both late in the second quarter and early in the fourth, but were denied both times, as both of those field kick attempts by Lider from 34 and 38 yards out were blocked by SUU. On its third possession on the final quarter, SUU put together a scoring drive, and kicker Colton Cook nailed a 38-yard field goal to give the Thunderbirds the lead for good, 23-20, with 2:12 remaining in the game. The big play in the game-winning drive was a 22-yard run by SUU punter Brock Miller on a 4th-and-2 from the UM 49-yard line, which gave the T-Birds a crucial first down and led to the eventual game-winning three-pointer by Cook.

Senior running back Peter Nguyen led the Grizzlies with 15 carries for 91 yards. As a team, Montana rushed 42 times for 224 yards. Sophomore running back Jordan Canada had 11 rushes for 71 yards, and he also caught 3 passes. McKinney was 17-of-29-1 for 194 yards and one touchdown and rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown.

Junior linebacker Brock Coyle led the Montana defense with 13 tackles along with 2 forced fumbles, and he had one of UM’s seven sacks. Junior linebacker Jordan Tripp had 6 tackles and 3 tackles for losses, while sophomore end Zack Wagenmann had 1.5 sacks. Sophomore cornerback Joshua Dennard had 7 tackles and broke up five passes.

Sorenson was 30-of-53-0 passing for 294 yards and 2 touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Fatu Moala had game-highs of 11 catches for 104 yards and a TD. True freshman linebacker Zak Browning led SUU with a game-high 18 tackles.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (10/20/13) – The Grizzlies had an impressive second-half comeback against Big Sky Conference newcomer North Dakota, and the nail-biter came down to the final seconds at the Alerus Center. In the process, Montana lost its fourth league game in its last five games.

Even though the Grizzly defense held UND scoreless for most of the second half, it outscored Montana 31-17 in the first half, and found some momentum late in the fourth quarter, scoring all of its second-half points in the last two minutes of play.

After a slow start in which it trailed 14-0 in the first quarter, Montana started its comeback after intermission, starting with a 15-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Shay Smithwick-Hann to senior wide receiver Sam Gratton, which made it 31-24, UND. The Smithwick-Hann hook-up was followed by a 44-yard field goal by redshirt freshman kicker Chris Lider, and that cut the UND lead to 31-27 with 6:16 left in the third quarter.

Then, with just over six minutes left in the third quarter, the Griz defense got the momentum-changing play it needed, as junior cornerback Sean Murray picked off UND senior quarterback Braden Hanson to give Montana’s offense a chance. On the first play after Murray’s pick, Smithwick-Hann hooked up with redshirt freshman wide receiver Ellis Henderson for a 27-yard touchdown pass, and Lider’s successful PAT gave Montana its first lead of the game -- 34-31 with 6:05 left in the third stanza.

North Dakota tied it up (34-34) with 2:00 remaining in the game when junior kicker Zeb Miller knocked in a 34-yard field goal.

The Grizzlies then went three-and-out on their next series and gave the ball back to UND with 39 seconds left in the game.

That was all the time UND would need, as Hanson then completed four-of-five passes, and the fourth was to unstoppable junior wide receiver Greg Hardin who broke free for a 32-yard touchdown, and UND led 40-34 with just 12 seconds to go.

Montana successfully changed things up on offense early in the game, switching from a run-dominant style to a pass-oriented one when Smithwick-Hann stepped in for starter Trent McKinney in the first quarter.

However, the Griz offense couldn’t turn many of its possessions into scoring drives, especially in that first half, but when Smithwick-Hann connected with senior wide receiver Bryce Carver for a 58-yard touchdown to start off the second quarter and then Lider later hit a 44-yard field goal, the Griz were still in the contest, although UND led 31-17 at halftime.

Sophomore running back Jordan Canada scored UM’s first points on the game on a 21-yard run with 4:05 to go in the first quarter, trimming the UND lead to 14-7.

Smithwick-Hann had career-highs of 26-39-0 passes for 306 yards and three touchdowns. Henderson led Montana’s receivers with 112 yards and one touchdown. Canada racked up 91 rushing yards and scored once.

Murray and junior linebacker John Kanongata’a led the Grizzly defense with 11 tackles each, and Kanongata’a also had two sacks. Murray, junior cornerback Anthony Goodwin, and junior safety Bo Tully had one interception apiece.

Hansen was 42-of-61-3 and amassed 660 passing yards – a Big Sky single-game record, while Hardin had 12 receptions for a league-record 333 receiving, and he also grabbed 3 TDs passes.

MONTANA 24, AT WEBER STATE 21

MISSOULA, MONTANA (10/27/12) – The Grizzlies displayed a potent running game and scored on six of their first eight possessions and carried that momentum on their way to a convincing victory.

The Grizzlies rushed 61 times for 379 yards and 6 touchdowns and racked up 605 total yards and narrowly missed a school record by picking up 33 first downs (the record of 34 was set in UM’s 2012 opener against South Dakota) first downs. The Bengals did get 332 yards passing but were limited to 35 yards rushing.

The Grizzlies raced to a 21-3 lead in the first quarter, scoring on a 9-yard scoring run by sophomore halfback Jordan Canada, a 17-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Shay Smithwick-Hann, and a 7-yard TD on a run by sophomore running back Brett Kirschner. ISU’s only score on the opening quarter was on a 20-yard field goal by junior kicker Brendon Garcia.

The second quarter was more of the same, as Montana outscored ISU 21-7 in that stanza. The Griz rolled to a commanding 42-3 lead when they scored three unanswered touchdowns which included a 50-yard scoring run by senior halfback Peter Nguyen, an 80-yard fumble recovery return by junior linebacker Jordan Tripp, and a 4-yard pass from Smithwick-Hann to freshman halfback Joey Counts.

ISU’s only touchdown in the first half was a 12-yard pass from senior quarterback Kevin Yost to junior wide-out Luke Austin with 1:53 to go until halftime. The Bengals’s TD was set up when Smithwick-Hann was picked off at UM’s 15-yard line, and ISU scored three plays later on the Yost-to-Austin hook-up. Montana scored a season-high 42 first-half points and led 42-10 at intermission.

The Grizzlies scored two unanswered TDs to start the third quarter on a 5-yard scoring pass from Smithwick-Hann to Counts and a 1-yard run by Kirschner. Kirschner’s scoring run gave Montana a 56-10 lead with 7:22 left in the third quarter.

UM’s final scores came on a 3-yard end-around run by junior wide receiver Cam Warren, and a 37-yard keeper by redshirt freshman quarterback Adam Brzeczek.

Nguyen had 11 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown, and it was his fourth 100-yard rushing effort of the season. Canada had 16 rushes for 83 yards and a score, and he was followed by Counts (6-for-58) and Kirschner (13 for 54).

Nguyen now has 1,770 career rushing yards, which moved him up to ninth all-time. He jumped from 12th to ninth, as he passed former running backs Dick Imer (1,692 yards, 1954-54), Jody Farmer (1,719 yards, 1986-89), and JR Waller (1,726 yards, 2002-05).

Smithwick-Hann was 14-of-21-2 for 205 yards and 3 touchdowns in his first career start. Counts, a true freshman from Mesa, Ariz., caught a team-high 4 passes for 36 yards and scored twice. Nine different Griz players had at least one reception and one rush in the game.

The Griz defense was led by end Tyrone Holmes, a true freshman, who had 9 tackles and 4 sacks. Sophomore cornerback Joshua Dennard added 7 tackles, while Tripp had 6 tackles, 2.5 stops for losses, and forced the fumble that led to his 80-yard TD on the fumble return. Tripp’s fumble recovery was the seventh in his career, tying him with former safety Todd Ericson (7, 1990-93) for the third most in school history.

Yost was 36-of-56-1 for 323 yards and 3 TDs. ISU had two 100-yard receivers, as senior wide-out Rodrick Rumble had 12 catches for 102 yards and junior Cam Richmond grabbed 10 passes for 100 yards.

ISU freshman safety Taison Manu had a game-high 14 tackles, while sophomore linebacker Mitch Beckstead tallied 13.

OGDEN, UTAH (11/3/12) – The Grizzlies scored twice late in the fourth quarter and held off a rally to post the win at WSU’s Stewart Stadium.

It is the first time this season Montana (5-5/3-4 BSC) has won two games in a row (the Griz beat Idaho State 70-24 Oct. 27). WSU, which had a bye the previous Saturday, is now 1-8/1-5.

The Grizzlies took their third and final lead of the game on a 9-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Shay Smithwick-Hann to senior wide receiver Bryce Carver with 6:37 left to play. A Smithwick-Hann pass to senior wide-out Sam Gratton on a two-point conversion gave Montana a 21-14 lead with 6:37 left to play.

Redshirt freshman kicker Chris Lider gave Montana some crucial insurance points when he kicked a 35-yard field goal with 3:53 left to give Montana a 24-14 lead. Lider’s three-pointer was set up on a forced fumble by sophomore defensive end Zack Wagenmann, which was recovered by UM senior defensive end Josh Harris on WSU’s 25-yard line.

It looked like the Grizzlies had the game under control when they took that 10-point lead (24-14) with 3:53 left on Lider’s third field goal of the game, but when Wildcat freshman cornerback Cordero Dixon returned a kickoff 100 yards to cut the UM lead to 24-21 with 3:41 left, WSU was back in the game.

Montana got the ball back with 3:37 left to play after the touchdown on the return and picked up two crucial first downs, forcing WSU to use its two remaining timeouts. Sophomore halfback Jordan Canada picked up one key first down on an 8-yard run, and then true freshman running back Joey Counts provided another on a 5-yard run.

Nguyen rushed 19 times for 103 yards – his fifth 100-yard effort of the season and the seventh in his career. Nguyen also had 3 catches for 88 yards, including a career-long 72-yarder, accounting for 191 all-purpose yards. Canada added 21 totes for 85 yards and had a 4-yard touchdown run.

Smithwick-Hann was 17-of-30-1 for 231 yards and a touchdown. Senior wide receiver Sam Gratton had a game-high four catches for 24 yards, while Nguyen had three receptions for 88.

Griz junior linebacker Brock Coyle had a team-high 12 tackles, while junior linebacker Jordan Tripp had 8 stops, a sack, and a forced fumble. Wagenmann, who entered the game ranked seventh (tie) in the FCS in sacks at 1.00 pg, had two of UM’s four sacks, and he also forced two fumbles.

The Griz defense held the Wildcats to 238 total yards and just 92 in the second half. Montana picked up 436 total yards, including 220 in the final half. For the game, UM had a 23 to 13 advantage in first downs.

Lider made 3-of-5 field goal attempts, hitting from 24, 22, and 35 yards out, and missing from 37 and 44 yards.

Nguyen now has 1,873 career rushing yards, moving him up to seventh all-time, passing current Griz assistant football coach Justin Green (1,784 yards, 2003-04) and Monty Bullerdick (1,813 yards, 1978-79). His 4,214 career all-purpose yards moves him up to sixth on that list, as he passes former wide receiver/returner Jabin Sambrano, who racked up 4,070 yards from 2008-11.

Wildcat senior quarterback Mike Hoke was 16-of-24-0 for 136 yards. WSU junior linebacker Anthony Morales had a career-high 23 tackles.

MISSOULA, MONTANA (11/17/12) – The Grizzlies played well, but it was not enough, as their intrastate rival and the second-ranked Montana State won the Brawl of the Wild in front of a record crowd at UM’s Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

The Grizzlies edged MSU in total yards with 358, while the Bobcats had 354, but Montana did not score in the last three quarters, and the Cats out-scored the Griz 13-0 in those final three stanzas.

The victory improved MSU’s overall record to 10-1, and its 7-1 Big Sky record guaranteed the Cats at least a share of the league title.

There were 26,210 fans on hand at the 112th meeting in the storied rivalry which began in Missoula in 1897. That mark broke the old Washington-Grizzly Stadium record of 26,066 set in the Griz-Eastern Washington game in 2011.

The Grizzlies (5-6/3-5) meanwhile had a 26-season winning streak snapped, and they suffered their first losing season since 1985 when they went 3-8.

As in five of the six games that it lost in 2012, Montana had the lead in the Griz-Cat game, but that score was early in the contest, and would prove to be the Grizzlies’ only points of the day.

On the Grizzlies’ third series of the game they marched 75 yards on nine plays and took a 7-3 lead on a 47-yard touchdown run by senior halfback Peter Nguyen with 2:04 remaining in the first quarter.

The Bobcats scored on their third possession of the contest to take an early 3-0 lead on a field goal by junior kicker Rory Perez.

The MSU fioeld goal was set up by a fumble by UM senior running back Dan Moore, who had been out of action for the past monthand-a-half due to an injury.

Montana’s 7-3 lead was short-lived, though, as junior quarterback DeNarius McGhee connected with senior wide receiver Kruiz Siewing on a 16-yard touchdown pass to give MSU a 10-7 lead with 7:54 left to play, and that would prove to be all of the points that the Cats would need.

MSU tacked on six more points in the third (6:51) and fourth quarters (2:32), on field goals of 38 and 22 yards by Perez.

Nguyen, one of 12 seniors who was playing their final game for the Grizzlies, rushed 13 times for 112 yards and a TD. It was Nguyen’s sixth 100-yard rushing game of the season. He finished his outstanding career with 1,985 career rushing yards, ranking him sixth in school history.

Sophomore quarterback Shay Smithwick-Hann was 24-of43-0 for 190 yards.

Senior tight end Greg Hardy had 4 catches for a career-high 74 yards, while senior wide receiver Gerald Kemp added 4 grabs for 40 yards.

Brock Coyle led the Griz defense with a career-high 19 tackles and a tackle for a loss, while fellow junior linebacker Jordan Tripp had 13 stops. Sophomore free safety Matt Hermanson had 9 tackles, an interception, and a pass deflection. Junior cornerback Sean Murray and junior linebacker John Kanongata’a added 8 tackles each.

Montana’s defense held MSU to 107 yards rushing on 33 attempts.

BIG SKY CONFERENCE

KJELBY OILAND Senior Center

UNITED

2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL – big sky conference 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 Conference celebrates 50 years of men’s athletics and 25 years of women’s competition during the 2013-14 academic year.

The venerable and stable Division I Big Sky Conference observed its 50th birthday on July 1, 2013. To mark the historic occasion, the league will honor its past by commemorating its top male and female athletics, as well as the top moments and teams.

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 will bring the majority of its sports back to the Big Sky on July 1, 2014. Northern Arizona University enters its 45th 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, 2013 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. A Big Sky team has played for the national championship in three of the past five seasons. 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 Big Sky now includes 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.”

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 15 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 will return as a conference sport in 2014-15.

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 19th 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 1977-81, while John Roning held the post from 1971-77. The first league commissioner was Jack Friel, who served from 1963-71.

“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.”

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.”

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.”

Head Coach Mick Dennehy

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.

2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL – post season

MONTANA YEAR-BY-YEAR IN POST-SEASON PLAY 2012: GRIZ MISS PLAYOFFS FOR JUST THE THIRD TIME IN THE PAST 20 SEASONS

2009: ANOTHER TRIP TO THE FCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

For the third time in the past 20 seasons the Grizzlies did not advance to the Football Championship Subdivision (Division I-AA) playoffs. Montana finished 5-6 overall – suffering it first losing season in 27 years (since going 3-8 in 1985). It was just the second time in the last 20 seasons that the Griz have not finished first or second in the Big Sky Conference.

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 23-21 Griz loss. It was the top-ranked Grizzlies’ only loss (14-1) of the season.

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 VACATES PARTICIPATION Montana’s participation in the FCS 2011 playoffs (UM went 2-1 in three games) was vacated due to an NCAA infraction.

2010: PLAYOFF RUN HALTED/REYNOLDS ENDS HIS BRILLIANT CAREER It had to end some time, and unfortunately that time was in 2010, as 7-4 Montana failed to make the playoffs for the first time in 18 seasons. Senior halfback Chase Reynolds finished his record-breaking career by setting school records for total touchdowns (59) and rushing touchdowns (52), and was just four yards short of the mark for career rushing yards with 4,067 – garnering all of those standards in just three seasons.

The Griz suffered a huge setback when senior quarterback Andrew Selle suffered a career-ending injury in the fourth game of the season against Sacramento State.

Montana’s semifinal showdown against fifth-ranked Appalachian State and talented quarterback Armani Edwards, played in front of a national audience on ESPN, came down to the last play. Selle floated a 25-yard TD pass to Sambrano with 1:31 left. But Edwards drove ASU to Montana’s 3-yard line, but a last-second pass was broken up, and the Grizzlies earned their seventh trip to the title game.

Mariani, who was named to the Pro Bowl as a rookie with the Tennessee Titans in 2010, broke numerous receiving and return records in his career.

Reynolds tied his own single-season record by rushing for 22 touchdowns.

Selle passed for 28 TDs. On defense, linebacker Shawn Lebsock and safety Shann Schillinger ended their careers as two of the leading tacklers in school history. Schillinger was a sixth round NFL draft pick by the Falcons, while Mariani was tabbed in the seventh by the Titans.

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 early-season league loss (45-28) at Weber State, defeating 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.

For the season, senior quarterback Cole Bergquist passed for 3,156 yards and 28 touchdowns, and wide-out Mike Ferriter finished his career ranked ninth in school history with 2,089 receiving yards. Reynolds rushed for a (then) school-record 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. Anderson, who now plays for the Eagles, was named their special teams MVP in 2011 and 2012.

2007: 15TH FCS PLAYOFF APPEARANCE IN A ROW

MONTANA YEAR-BY-YEAR IN POST-SEASON PLAY

UM’s route to the title game was a difficult one. The Griz trailed 11thranked 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. Marc Mariani started things off with a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, and he also scored twice on passes from Selle, and Reynolds rushed for two scores in the final quarter. The Griz defense held SDSU to 128 total yards and seven first downs in the final half. A week later UM forced 10 turnovers and crushed 12th-ranked, visiting Stephen F. Austin 51-0 in a quarterfinal contest.

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.

Caleb McSurdy was chosen Big Sky Conference Defensive MVP in 2011.

post season – 2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL

The Griz made their 18th overall playoff appearance and their 15th in a row in 2007. That 18th FCS playoff berth moved Montana past Eastern Kentucky for the most (17) in division history. Montana suffered a rare home loss in the playoffs, though, a 23-22 setback to Wofford.

2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL YEARBOOK

Halfback Thomas Brooks-Fletcher combined for 19 rushing touchdowns with Reggie Bradshaw and Brady Green in 2006.

Quarterback Cole Bergquist passed for 3,156 yards and 28 touchdowns in 2008.

2005: GRIZ LOSE IN FIRST ROUND

Senior defensive end Kroy Biermann became Montana’s first ever Buck Buchanan Award winner. Senior halfback Lex Hilliard set a record with 50 rushing touchdowns, which Reynolds broke three seasons later. Kicker Dan Carpenter set FCS career records with 75 field goals and 413 points by a kicker. Senior linebackers Tyler Joyce and Kyle Ryan finished second and sixth in UM history with 352 and 304 career tackles, respectively. Biermann plays for the Atlanta Falcons, while Carpenter plays for the Miami Dolphins, and Hilliard most recently played for the Jets.

Montana was 8-4 overall and received an at-large 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 defense was ranked sixth in the country with a turnover margin at +1.08. The ninth-ranked Griz hosted a first-round playoff game, losing 35-21 to 10th-ranked Cal Poly.

Montana had defeated Cal Poly 36-27 in Missoula earlier in the season.

2006: A TRIP TO THE SEMIS

Montana was 12-3 and advanced to the FCS championship game for the fifth time in the last 11 years.

Montana just missed playing for its sixth national title in the past 12 years.

After losing at 16th-ranked Iowa in its opener, Montana won 11 straight games, finishing 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.

Host Montana defeated 22nd-ranked McNeese State 31-6 in an FCS firstround 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 semi-final game which was televised nationally on ESPN2. Hauck became the first Griz mentor in history to win four Big Sky titles.

2004: FIFTH TRIP TO THE FCS TITLE GAME IN THE LAST 10 SEASONS

Senior quarterback Craig Ochs passed for 3,807 yards and 33 touchdowns and set a league record by completing 68.7% of his passes. The Griz defense was ranked third in the country in turnover margin (+1.47) with 38 take-aways. Hilliard tied the school record for touchdown runs with 17, while 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 (4717), and Sam Houston State (34-13).

The title game was a 31-21 loss to James Madison in Chattanooga. Sadly, the championship game was played on a field that was a quagmire, as the grass playing surface had reportedly recently been re-sodded, and big chunks of grass and dirt were tossed all over the field during the game by the player’s cleats.

MONTANA YEAR-BY-YEAR IN POST-SEASON PLAY 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 rain-soaked 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 57-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter for the game-winning touchdown.

Montana broke the FCS record by making its 11th consecutive playoff appearance, eclipsing the mark of 10 that it had shared with Eastern Kentucky, which played in 10 straight from 1986-1995. UM 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 converting 182 PATs, and he also set a single-season mark by scoring 123 points. He also set a record by making 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).

1999-97: GRIZ LOSE THREE STRAIGHT FIRST-ROUND GAMES The Griz dropped three first-round playoff games during this time, but in 1999 set the Big Sky record with their 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 30-27 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

Halfback Yohance Humphery gained 142 yards on 30 carries and scored on a 2-yard run to culminate a 99-yard scoring drive versus Furman in the 2001 NCAA championship game.

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: GRIZ WIN SECOND NATIONAL TITLE Kicker Chris Snyder set four NCAA career FCS records.

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 3021 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 128

Montana won its second national championship, defeating Furman 13-6.

Junior quarterback John Edwards engineered a 16-play, 99-yard 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 and scored on a 2-yard run to culminate that 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 yards.

The Grizzlies’ 15 victories set a school record (which still stands as of 2012) for the most wins in a season.

2013 MONTANA FOOTBALL YEARBOOK

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, grabbing four touchdown passes in a 49-29 win.

It was the first time ever that two undefeated (14-0) teams had squared off for the I-AA 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 he had 1,469 receiving yards, in UM’s 11 regular-season games.

1995: UM WINS FIRST NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP The Grizzlies won their first national championship with a last-second, 22-20 come-from-behind victory over host Marshall in front of an FCS playoff-record crowd of 32,106 (this is still the record) 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 163-14. 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 with 125 first downs, 137 pass completions, 197 pass attempts, and 1,703 passing yards.

Walter Payton Award-winning quarterback Dave Dickenson orchestrated a 12-play, 72-yard scoring drive in UM’s 22-20 title win at Marshall in 1995.

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 coached by Tressel.

In 1993, Montana rolled to a 10-1 regular-season 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.

1988 & 1982: IN THE PLAYOFFS After a six-year hiatus, in 1988, the Griz earned their first at-large bid into the playoffs, losing 38-19 at Idaho. Montana’s initial trip to the playoffs was in 1982, when it won its first Big Sky 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 31-16 to the same team a year later.
