GAME PREVIEW

GRIZ GAME DAY PREVIEW Back on the winning track with four games left to play in the regular season, the No.11 Montana Grizzlies return to Missoula this week for their penultimate home game as the Southern Utah Thunderbirds fly in Saturday for the first time since 2016 and the last time as Big Sky opponents.

After the fourth and final night game of the season at Idaho, the Grizzlies (5-2, 2-2 BSC) take the field in a much-welcome noon kickoff this week in WashingtonGrizzly Stadium, hosting a T-Bird squad (1-7, 0-5 BSC) in search of its first league win of the year.

Montana enters the game fresh of a seventh-straight rivalry win over the Idaho Vandals, with the Grizzlies once again retaining the Little Brown Stein - the traveling trophy that has resided in Missoula since the turn of the century – with a convincing 34-14 win.

The victory over the Vandals righted Montana’s ship after a week seven loss to Sacramento State, and sets the Grizzlies sailing into the business end of the with two more road games to play in the leadup to the 120th “Brawl of the Wild”, as the Griz look to capture the program’s first Big Sky title since 2009.

For those championship aspirations to become reality, Montana must stay on the winning track, however, especially with two of its final three games being played on the road.

Montana’s momentum following a signature win at No. 20 Washington on week one took a hit in early October in one-score losses to Eastern Washington and Sacramento State, and a hit the team’s health as well with the Griz having to look down the depth chart for injury cover.

But despite that, the Griz found their footing Saturday in the win over Idaho, with junior Mitch Roberts putting in a career day receiving and QB Kris Brown getting settled in the starting role.

Montana’s ground game also continued to produce against Idaho despite being down, not one, not two, not three… but four running backs in the depth chart to injury, turning to a pair of true freshmen against the Vandals in Junior Bergen (brought to UM as a wide receiver), and Colter Janacaro.

GAME PREVIEW

GRIZ GAME DAY PREVIEW THE MATCHUP: Montana enters the game against Southern Utah looking to go back on a winning streak headed into the tail end of the season, while the T-Birds are seeking just their second win of the year.

Averaging just under 30 points per game, the Griz offense is beginning to click, while Southern Utah is giving up nearly 39 points per contest.

The Thunderbirds are coming off a narrow 17-9 home loss to Northern Colorado last week stymied by a goal-line stand by UNC and a dropped touchdown pass in the loss to the Bears.

Southern Utah’s passing attack is has put up the fourth-most yards in the Big Sky this season at 1,932 and is averaging over 20 points per game, highlighted by their 40-35 week-three win over Tarleton State.

But the defense is last in the Big Sky, giving up over 481 yards per game.

SERIES HISTORY: Saturday’s game marks just the 10th all-time meeting between Montana and Southern Utah, with the Grizzlies holding a commanding 7-2 advantage since the first meeting in 1996, but with both of those losses occurring in Missoula. The first T-Bird win came just two years later in 1998, with the second in 2012.

It’s also the last meeting between the two for the foreseeable future as Big Sky Conference foes, with Southern Utah joining the league in 2012 and now set to depart for the WAC a decade later in 2022. In that short time the Griz have only made two trips to Cedar City and came away with wins in both 2014 and 2018.

LAST MEETING: The last time the Griz and T-Birds met was early November, 2018 in just UM’s second-ever trip to Cedar City. Led by Dalton Sneed, the Griz piled up 635 yards of total offense and eight touchdowns in a 57-14 romp in Bobby Hauck’s first year back at UM. Then-sophomore Samuel Akem featured in the receiving game for the Griz with five grabs for 89 yards and two touchdowns. The pair of scores was part of his breakout 2018 season where he totaled 13 TD grabs. In the two weeks prior and one week after the SUU game, Akem had two TD catches in each, and finished the year on a five-game streak of at least one TD catch.

GAME PREVIEW

GRIZ GAME DAY PREVIEW GRIZ IN THE POLLS: Montana remains the highest-ranked 5-2 team in the land in this week’s coaches’ poll, holding steady at No. 11 in the Stats Perform FCS media poll, and moving up a spot to No. 11 in the AFCA Coaches’ poll, after another wild weekend of college football.

Previously 7th-ranked South Dakota State (now 5-2) dropped below the Griz to No. 13 in the coaches’ poll after losing to Northern Iowa at home, and Eastern Washington slid to No. 7 after losing to Weber State at home. Montana was just eight voting points shy of passing SDSU at No. 10 in the media poll.

At 7-1 (but yet to play EWU) Montana State bumped up to No. 6 in the polls, setting up a photo-finish for the Big Sky Championship down the stretch.

BUILT FORD TOUGH: Justin Ford became the first player in Montana history to record five interceptions in five-straight games with yet another pick at Idaho last week.

Montana and Big Sky record holder Karl Stein had four-straight games with at least one interception in 1969 when he set the long-standing record of 11 picks that season, helping the Griz to their first-ever Big Sky Championship and a 10-0 regular season record.

Ford, a junior cornerback, started his five-game pick streak one month ago to the day (as of publication) on Sept. 25 against Cal Poly.

The Concord, North Carolina, native’s five picks are now tied for the most of any player in Division-I football (FCS or FBS), and are the most by two in the Big Sky Conference.

Jaylan Foster of the South Carolina Gamecocks, Christian Benford of Villanova, Brandon Dowdell of Chattanooga, and Jordan Jones of Rhode Island are the other D-I players to haul in five picks so far this season.

With 12 this season Montana as a team is second in the Big Sky and tied for fourth in the FCS in interceptions. UC Davis leads the league with 13, tied for the FCSmost. Notably, the Griz had two more interceptions called back against Idaho on penalties. One, a would-be touchdown for Omar Hicks Onu, and one for Robby Hauck. interception, with a long play of 30 to lead Montana to the non-conference win. Brown was Montana’s nomination for Big Sky Offensive player of the Week as well.
