GRIZ RETURN TO THE ROAD FOR CLASH WITH TOP-RANKED AGGIES

With the non-conference season officially in the rearview mirror, the Montana Grizzlies (3-1) face a tall order on week five, opening Big Sky Conference play on the road against the league’s top-ranked team in the No. 4/5 UC Davis Aggies (2-2).

The Griz head to Davis with momentum after going undefeated in FCS play so far this season and a thirst for payback after the Aggies defeated UM for the first time in program history in 2018 at Washington-Grizzly Stadium before advancing to the national quarterfinals.

On paper, the 2019 Aggies appear to be postseason-bound once again under veteran head coach Dan Hawkins, returning plenty of offensive firepower in All-America and Walter Payton Award can-didate quarterback Jake Maier and preseason Phil Steele All-Big Sky running back Ulonzo Gilliam.

Averaging 327 passing yards per game so far this season, the Aggies aren’t missing All-America receiver Keelan Doss, who signed with the Oakland Raiders after a successful training camp that was documented on the HBO series Hard Knocks.

While UC Davis enters the game with a pair of losses, they have both been on the road and both against two of the nation’s top teams… despite the difference in subdivision.

UC Davis acquitted itself well in a 13-27 loss on week one against the California Golden Bears, who are currently ranked No. 15 in the FBS AP top-25 poll. The Aggies enter Saturday’s game against the Griz coming off a tight 16-27 loss against the defending FCS champion NDSU Bison in Fargo.

One FBS loss and one FCS loss. But a look at this week’s Sagarin Ratings indicate a different story. Unsurprisingly, NDSU is the highest ranked FCS team in the Sagarin Ratings, but what is a surprise is that the Bison come in at No. 40 in the nation. The Cal Golden Bears? They’re ranked behind NDSU at No. 45. UC Davis comes in ranked No. 107 by Jeff Sagarin, and the Griz come in one spot behind at No. 108, helping set up a big-time showdown in Davis on Saturday.

“We’ve had a couple days to watch them, and they’re deserving of every bit of their national rank-ing,” said Montana head coach Bobby Hauck.

“I think they are a really, really, terrific football team who absolutely handled us last year, and you couple that with the fact that they have most of their team back, it’s a tall order to prepare this week and to try to go get a win down there.”

Kickoff from UC Davis Health Stadium is set for 1 p.m. local time, 2 p.m. Mountain.

WHERE TO WATCH: Saturday’s game marks the first of six Griz games this season to be broad-cast nationwide on ROOT Sports. Veteran broadcaster Tom Glasgow will have the play-by-play, with analysis from Taylor Barton.

ROOT Sports and its affiliates (AT&T Rocky Mountain, Las Vegas, and Southwest) are available on DirecTV, Dish Network, and Spectrum Cable. The game will also be shown on DirecTV’s Au-dience Network, part of the satellite provider’s basic channel lineup. Check local listings to see if the game is available in your area.

HAPPENINGS

TAILGATE TOWN: The Grizzly Scholarship Association will welcome Griz fans to the game at UC Davis with its second road-game tailgate party of the season this week. The official Griz pregame party is located south of UC Davis Health Stadium in parking lot 56. The GSA will be set up in the south east corner of the lot in parking spots 5, 6, and 7, next to the Schaal Aquatic Center. Beverages will be available for purchase, with proceeds going directly to the GSA and its mission of providing scholarships to student-athletes. More information and maps of the area can be found at gogriz.com.

COACH TO CURE: On Saturday, Hauck and the Grizzly coaching staff will join hundreds of football coaches around the country in wearing patches on their sleeve to help build awareness of the “Coach To Cure MD” project in partnership with the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) and the Amer-ican Football Coaches Association (AFCA).

Coach To Cure MD is a one-day, nationwide awareness building and fundraising event that will be held on Sept. 28, 2019. Over the last 11 years, Coach To Cure MD has raised over $2.1 million for Duchenne research. The goal of Coach To Cure MD is to raise awareness of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, generate new financial support for Duchenne research, demonstrate coaches’ commitment to the betterment of young men and the core academic research missions of their universities.

By wearing this patch, Coach Hauck and his staff show their support for Coach To Cure MD and the fight against this disease.

DANTE’S KIDS: After a hugely successful fundraising campaign, Dante Olson’s adopted third-grade class at Gerber Elementary in Gerber, Calif., will be in attendance at UC Davis, experiencing life on a college campus as part of the “No Excuses University” program that helps encourage underprivileged kids to pursue a college education.

With the support of Griz Nation, Keri Spengler’s third grade class raised over $4,000 to help offset the cost of sending Olson’s adopted class nearly two hours south on Interstate 5 to Davis for the game.

The kids, who regularly skype and exchange letters with Olson, will get to see their mentor play and cheer him on against the Aggies and once again meet him face to face after the final whistle.

Earlier this month Olson was named to the prestigious AFCA Good Works Team in part due to his work in the community, helping the kids from Gerber realize they too can pursue a college education.

GRIZ TRACKS

TWICE AS NICE: Following Montana’s dominant 47-27 win over Monmouth, two Grizzlies took home ROOT Sports Big Sky Player of the Week awards on Monday. Quarterback Dalton Sneed won the second Player of the Week honor in his career after completing 75 percent of his passes, and returner Malik Flowers was named Special Teams Player of the Week after taking a kickoff the distance for a full 100-yard return for a touchdown.

It’s the first time two Grizzlies have been named Player of the Week since 2013, when Matt Herman-son and Ellis Henderson won the defensive and special teams player of the week awards, respective-ly.

Sneed was staggeringly accurate against Monmouth, completing 30 of his 40 (75%) passes for a total of 334 yards and four touchdowns. His completion percentage was the second-best of any QB in the league on week four, and the most against a team receiving top-25 votes. His 75% completion percentage was also a career-high and was the best of any UM QB since 2016. Sneed’s 334 yards is the third-highest total of his career at UM. He also added 21 yards on the ground for 355 yards of total offense.

Flowers’ return was the second of his career and the longest in modern Grizzly history, passing Damon Boddie’s 1993 return of 99 yards at Idaho. Milt Popovich returned a kick for a TD 102 yards in 1936 to sit atop the UM record book. The Fontana, Calif., native is the leading kick returner in the Big Sky, averaging 32.2 yards per return, a total that ranks him sixth in the FCS. It is the first Big Sky Player of the Week recognition of his career.

IN THE POLLS: Montana continued to inch its way up the national polls this week, bumping up one spot to N0. 18 in the STATS FCS media poll, and rising two places to No. 17 in the AFCA coaches’ poll. UC Davis stayed put at No. 4 in the media poll and fell to No. 5 in the coaches’ poll after falling to NDSU. Weber State (5/6), Montana State (7/11) and Eastern Washington (21) round out the Big Sky representatives in the top-25.STOPS WHEN IT MATTERS: Montana continued its impressive third down performance last week against Monmouth, converting seven of its 11 attempts and holding the Hawks to just four of 16.

The Griz lead the Big Sky and are ranked No. 9 in the nation in the FCS in third downs so far this season, converting nearly 52 percent of all attempts. The defense is ranked No. 2 in the league and No. 15 nationwide, allowing opponents to convert 29 percent. Impressive, considering Oregon is on the schedule.

FINISHING STRONG: Montana put a focus on second half improvement over the offseason, and boy is it taking effect. The Griz have outscored opponents 88-34 in second half so far this year and lit up the scoreboard overall, outscoring opponents 142-96 after four games. Take the Ducks out of the , and that’s just 61 points allowed against FCS opponents.

Conversely, UC Davis has made a habit of starting their games strong, outscoring opponents 45-14 in the first quarter alone, and holding a 108-102 overall advantage.

MOVIN’ ON UP: Three Grizzlies continued their march toward the top of the Montana record book against Monmouth last week… even though one of them is already there.

• With six grabs for 45 yards, Jerry Louie-McGee passed his former teammate Keenan Curran on UM’s all-time receiving yards list to move to No. 15 with 2,037 yards so far in his career. Louie-McGee became the Grizzlies’ all-time leader in pass receptions at Oregon and has extended his record to 202 catches with eight regular-season games to play.

• Olson posted a game-high 13 tackles against the Hawks, good enough to move him into No. 26 on the all-time tackler list, passing UM safeties coach Shann Schillinger’s career mark of 257 tackles and former Buchanan Finalist Trey Young’s career total of 250.

Should Olson continue his average of 10.75 tackles per game (knock on wood…) over the next eight games (adding 86 to his current total), he’s on track to be one of the Grizzlies’ top five tacklers of all time with 347 takedowns. 2019 Grizzly Sports Hall of Fame inductee Vince Huntsberger is UM’s all-time leading tackler with 393.

• Sneed’s impressive total of 334 yards passing last week has also bumped him up in the record book. Now with 3,937 career yards, Sneed passed UM receivers coach Brent Pease to move to No. 13 on the all-time passing yards list. He now needs just 195 yards to pass former QB coach Andrew Selle at No. 12 on the list.

Sneed’s four TD passes against the Hawks moved him to No. 13 on the all-time passing touchdown list, placing him at No. 13 ahead of Justin Roper’s two-year total. Sneed needs just five more passing scores to move past Pease on that list as well.

Now with 15 games as a Grizzly under his belt, Sneed is also hovering near the top of the other major UM passing record list, entering Saturday’s game averaging 262.5 passing yards per game, currently good enough to put him third on the list behind Drew Miller’s Big Sky record 327.8 YPG average, and Dave Dickenson’s 316.6 YPG average.

LAST TIME IT HAPPENED: Montana’s win over Monmouth set several marks that haven’t occurred at UM in quite some time

• Marcus Knight’s 149-yard rushing total was a career-high for the sophomore, and a total a long time coming for a UM running back. The last Grizzly to run for more than 100 yards was Dalton Sneed, who set a school record for QB rushing yards with 208 last season. The last Grizzly running back to rush for more than 140 yards was Jordan Canada, who rushed for 211 yards at Southern Utah in 2014.

Knight’s five total touchdowns this season (four rushing, one receiving) are the second-most in the Big Sky, and the twentieth-most in FCS football. His four rushing TDs are the most in the league and sixteenth-most in the FCS.

• Sneed replaced his own mark of 300-399 passing yards in a game with 334 against Monmouth. The last time he threw for 300+ was against Montana State in 2018. He posted one of the best passing games in UM history with 430 yards against South Dakota on week one.

Sneed’s four TD passes were a new recent-best as well, with the last UM QB to throw four in a game being Gresch Jensen in 2017 at Idaho State.

• Both Bryson Deming and Colin Bingham caught a pair of touchdowns from Sneed last week, with the tight ends accounting for four of UM’s six TDs. The last Grizzly to catch a pair of TDs in a game was Samuel Akem against Idaho in 2018. The last time two Grizzlies caught a pair of TDs each was also in 2018, when Akem and Curran each had two.

QUICK HITS

CATCHING PASSES FROM PASS CATCHERS: Colin Bingham’s two touchdown catches against Mon-mouth were his first two of the season, and the fifth and sixth touchdowns of his career, respectively.

Bingham’s second-quarter touchdown catch on a double pass from Sneed to Samori Toure is also the second TD catch of his career that was thrown by a wide receiver. The Missoula native also caught a double-pass in 2018 against Northern Iowa that was thrown by Keenan Curran.

CHASING 600: Montana needs just three more wins to become the 22nd FCS school to earn 600 or more victories in program history, with a current total of 597 wins dating back to 1897. It’s a rare mark, with only 79 programs in all of Division-I football (FBS & FCS) currently holding 600-plus wins. The leaders of both lists represent some of the most historic programs in college football history, with Yale (907) and Harvard (875) possessing the most wins in FCS history, and Michigan (953), Ohio State (911), and Texas (908) topping the FBS list.

MISSOURI VALLEY TAKES IT: Despite a strong start from the Big Sky Conference that included Montana’s 31-17 win at South Dakota, the Missouri Valley Conference clinched its second-straight win in the 2019 BSC/MVFC Challenge Series thanks to five wins last week. With one game (Northern Iowa at Weber State – 9/28) left to play, the MVFC leads the series 6-3.

MISSISSIPPI MUD: After dismantling Monmouth, which is located in West Long Branch, N.J., the Griz-zlies improved their all-time record against teams from east of the Mississippi river in Washington-Grizzly Stadium to 32-7 since the facility opened in 1986. The next chance the Griz will have to improve on that record in the regular season will be Sept. 19, 2020, when Morehead State (Morehead Ky.) visits on week three next year.

B o b b y H a u c k became the 37th h e a d football c o a c h at the Univer-sity of M o n -tana on Nov. 30, 2 0 1 7 .

He was formally introduced to Griz na-tion a day later on December 1, 2017, in a press conference at the Washing-ton-Grizzly Stadium Club. 2019 will be his fourteenth year as a col-lege football head coach and his ninth year as the head coach at Montana. In his first tenure at UM from 2003-2009 Hauck won more games than any other coach in FCS football, led the Grizzlies to three national championship appear-ances, and won seven-straight Big Sky Conference championships. In 2018 Hauck became the winningest coach in Montana history, surpassing the great Don Read with 86 wins in eight seasons. Hauck is also the winningest coach in Big Sky history (by win percent-age) and is the fastest coach in league history to reach the 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80-win plateaus. He also picked up his 100th overall win and his 50th Big Sky win in 2018. In his first stint at UM, Hauck’s Grizzlies outscored their opponents 3,079-1,795 in his 97-game tenure. He also coached 37 first-team All-Big Sky selections. His 82 percent winning average was the highest in the FCS at the time, and he led UM to three perfect seasons in Big Sky play with a 47-6 league record, win-ning at least a share of the Big Sky title in each of his seven seasons. He is a three-time Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year and was named the D1-AA (FCS) Region 5 Coach of the Year in 2006. He was also a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award in 2009. Under Hauck, the Grizzlies have also excelled in the classroom. From 2003-2009, Montana placed 104 football play-

ers on Academic All-Big Sky teams, the most, or second most in the league each year. In each of those seasons, football student-athletes also graduated at a higher rate than their campus counter-parts, including a remarkable 90 percent rate in 2005. In 2018 the Grizzlies posted the two highest grade point averages in program history, including a combined 3.07 term GPA in the fall. That semester, Hauck’s Grizzlies also posted five perfect 4.0 GPAs, 20 players made the Dean’s List, and 24 were named to the Academic All-Big Sky team. The UM alum returned to his native Montana in 2017 after five seasons as the head coach at UNLV, and three seasons serving as the Associate Head Coach and Special Teams Coordinator at San Diego State.

He began his coaching career with the Grizzlies in 1988 after earning a bach-elor’s degree in business and physical education at Montana in 1987. “It is an honor and a privilege to be able to come back home to a place that is so important to me. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue the tradition of excellence at the University of Montana. I am absolutely committed to success both on and off the field. I cannot wait to see what the future holds, and look forward to being a strong advocate for the University as a whole,” said Hauck.

From 2010-2014 Hauck served as head coach and special teams coordinator at UNLV. As head coach, he led the Reb-els to the Heart of Dallas Bowl in 2013 - their only winning season since 2000, only the fourth bowl game in UNLV his-tory, and the first to be played on New Year’s Day. In 2015, Hauck accepted the role as special teams coordinator at San Di-ego State under legendary head coach Rocky Long. There he coached kick returner Rashaad Penny, a three-time Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Year and 2017 Offensive Player of the Year - the only player in league history to win both awards in the same season. Penny also holds the NCAA re-cord for career kick returns for a touch-down (7).

Grizzly football jersey #37 began its lega-cy in 1983. Griz fullback and Plentywood native Kraig Paulson began the tradition of passing #37 on to a younger player who hailed from the state of Montana. Paulson was known for his hard-nosed play and workman mentality. So the tradition began. Number 37 has come to represent the Spir-it of Montana… hard work, dedication to the team, and tough play on the gridiron.

2019 GRIZ SEASON NOTESMILESTONES ON O AND D: Cornerback Justin Calhoun is set to make his 20th consecutive start for the Grizzlies against Monmouth on week four. The senior has made a total of 35 starts heading into week five, even after switch-ing positions as a junior from wide receiver to cornerback.

THE GARDEN CITY HOSTS THE GARDEN STATE: Montana’s game against Monmouth marked the first time UM has ever played a team from the state of New Jersey. The Garden State has just three D-I football programs, with Monmouth and Princeton playing in the FCS, and Rutgers in the FBS. Monmouth is located on the Northern Coast of New Jersey in West Long Branch, a little over an hour south of New York City and just minutes from the coast. September’s game marked the furthest west the Hawks had ever traveled to play football, with Google Maps placing the two schools 2,416 miles apart. The previous longest distance traveled by Monmouth to play was in 2013 when the Hawks traveled 2,215 miles to play Montana State in Bozeman.

JERRY’S WORLD: Montana receiver and return specialist Jerry Louie-McGee topped the Grizzly record books for the second time in his career at Oregon, breaking Raul Pacheco’s 1998 school record for career pass receptions (192) with six against the Ducks. With his six catches for 66 yards and a new school record under his belt against the Ducks, “JLM” earned Montana’s Big Sky Offensive Player of the Week nomination. Louie-McGee also needs just one more punt return for a touchdown to set a new school record and is also among UM’s career leaders in receiving yards and all-purpose yards per game. After his 66 yards at Oregon, Louie-McGee moved to No. 16 on all-time receiving yards list passing Ryan Bagley (04-07), Mike Trevathan (87-90), and Mike Erhardt (1993-96) with 1,994 career yards on week 3. “It’s pretty cool coming here as a walk-on, getting my shot and just hoping to be able to get some snaps or be able to help the team as best I can,” said Louie-McGee on after the Oregon game. “I’m pretty blessed, and I’m honored to have my name up there, but I’m excited to get going on the next game.” At the time the senior from Coeur d’Alene cur-rently led the nation in punt returns, averaging 26-yards per return, and is ranked third in the Big Sky in receptions per game with seven. While fans know his electric spark on the field, it’s what he does away from the crowds that impresses Hauck about Louie-McGee most. “He’s exciting to watch play. What you all don’t see is how hard he works in the weight room and on the practice field. But the thing I’ve ap-preciated probably most about him is how much he’s improved his practice habits and how much

#CFB150: November 6, 2019 will mark the 150th anniversary of what is traditionally con-sidered the first college football game, played between Princeton and Rutgers in 1869. The Montana Grizzlies, alongside the NCAA, College Football Playoff, and various national sports media will undergo a year-long celebration at all levels to commemorate 150 years of college football, and all the good the game does for countless people nationwide.

The Grizzlies will be wearing a CFB150 patch on their jerseys this season to commemorate this monumental occasion.

Montana Football will celebrate the 50th an-niversary of the 1969 Grizzlies all season long in 2019. A Grizzly Sports Hall of Fame team, the ’69 Griz were the first to go undefeated in the regular season, and the first team at Montana to win a Big Sky Championship. They were also the first Grizzlies to play in the Camellia Bowl for the Division-II National Championship. The ’69 Griz went undefeated that year at 10-0 in the regular season, the most wins of any Griz-zly team in 70 years at the time, and remained the most until the 1989 team went 11-3.

The 1969 squad had a school-record 11 first team All-Big Sky selections: Arnie Blancas, Tim Gallagher, Bil Gutzman, Kent Miller, Jim Nord-strom, Roy Robinson, John Stedham, Karl Stein, Larry Stranahan, and Tuufuli Uperesa. Stein still holds the Big Sky single-season interception record with 11that season.

The 1969 Griz were inducted into the Grizzly Sports Hall of Fame in 2009 along with the 1970 Griz, who also went undefeated in the regular season at 10-0. The teams were coached by Jack Swarthout, whose 51 wins were the most in school history until Don Read crossed that mark in 1993.

‘69 GRIZ CELEBRATE 50TH ANNIVERSARY

he’s improved his game in the broad sense,” says Hauck. “He’s become a way more complete football player. He’s bigger and stronger, and I think he’s faster, and the work he’s put has made him an even better player.”

GOOD WORK DANTE: Dante Olson earned a big-time pat on the back on Sept. 12 for his work off the field, being named to the presti-gious Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. Olson is one of just 22 players nationwide at all levels of college football to earn a place on the team, narrowed down from a list of 137 nominees by an esteemed panel of judges, including Kirk Herbstreit (ESPN) and Tim Tebow (Florida, 2009 team). The Honorary Head Coach of the Good Works Team is Dabo Swinney of the National Champion Clemson Tigers. As a member of the Good Works Team, Olson will be invited to the 2020 Allstate Sugar Bowl and will join Tebow, Allstate volunteers, and the rest of the team in a special community service project in New Orleans. Olson will also be invited to the Superdome where Allstate will rec-ognize the Good Works Team during the Sugar Bowl halftime show. For more than a year, Olson has served as a

2019 GRIZ SEASON NOTESmentor and pen-pal with a class of underpriv-ileged third graders at Gerber Elementary in Northern California farm country, encouraging them to pursue a college education as part of the “No Excuses University” program.

SPEAKING OF DANTE: Olson earned Mon-tana’s Defensive Player of the Week nomination after an eye-catching performance against Justin Herbert and the vaunted Oregon Duck offense (which put up 77 points on Nevada the week previous). Playing in his home state, Olson totaled a game-high 14 tackles, with 10 of them solo tackles. No other player in the Big Sky posted more tackles overall in week three.

GOOD KNIGHT: In his first start as a Grizzly sophomore running back Marcus Knight had a breakout game against UNA, rushing 19 times for 89 yards and three touchdowns. After catch-ing a pass for a touchdown in South Dakota, Knight led the Big Sky in total TDs with four on the season, good enough to rank fourth in the nation at the time.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jerry Louie-McGee etched his name in Montana’s record book with 150 punt return yards against UNA, highlighted by a 74-yard touchdown that sent the Washing-ton-Grizzly Stadium crowd into meltdown. His 150 yards bested his previous PR of 118 yards set against Northern Iowa in 2016. It was a performance that earned him the sec-ond ROOT Sports Special Teams Player of the Week award of his career on Monday. Now with three punt return TDs in his career, Louie-Mc-Gee is now tied for the most of any Grizzly in school history with Marc Mariani and Levander Segars.

STREAKS ALIVE: Montana’s win over North Alabama extended the Grizzlies’ streak of home-opener wins inside Washington-Grizzly Stadium to 16-straight, tied for the sixth-longest active winning streak in the nation.

The Griz also snapped one of the longest home-opener win streaks in FCS football this season, defeating South Dakota 31-17 at the DakotaDome on week one. The Coyotes entered the game having won 16-straight home openers themselves.

Interestingly, the last time Montana lost a home-opener was in 2003 against North Dakota State, who extended its national-best home-opener win streak to 21 this season.

Montana has only lost four season home-open-ers in Washington-Grizzly Stadium history since playing the first one in 1987. The first game played in WGS was also a win for the Griz, a 38-31 victory over Idaho State in October of 1986.

at South Dakota, throwing for 427 yards and three touchdowns.

His total of 427 yards in the air ranks is the 18th-best passing game in a long history of illustrious Grizzly quarterbacks, but it was his completions that really climbed the charts.

With 37 pass completions (on 52 attempts), Sneed’s senior season premier is the fourth-best in program history. The only QBs with more completions in a game are: 47: Brady Gustafson @ Cal Poly, 2016 (a Big Sky Record), 43: Dave Dickenson @ Idaho, 1995, and 38: Dave Dick-enson vs. Idaho, 1994.

Sneed’s 427 yards in the air are the most from any winning quarterback in the nation in the first two weeks of action in the FCS.

THIRD DOWN OR BUST: Third down is a do-or-die situation for a football team, and the Griz came through when it mattered most on both sides of the ball at South Dakota better than nearly any team in the country on week one

action.

On offense, the Griz converted 11 of 17 third down attempts, tied for the fifth-best percent-age in FCS football at .647 percent – the best percentage in the Big Sky against a Division-I opponent that week.

The Griz were equally impressive on defense, allowing a potent USD offense just two third down conversions on 10 attempts – tied for the sixth-best percentage (.200) in the FCS. That percentage was also the second-best in the Big Sky that week behind an Idaho defense who only forced eight third downs against Penn State in a 79-7 loss.

FINISH STRONG: In 2018, Montana the Griz let off the gas and gave away four different fourth quarter leads, and have been focusing on finishing games strong ever since. Well, mission accomplished.

UM held South Dakota scoreless in the fourth quarter, and barely gave the ‘Yotes any chance to climb back in the game by dominating the time of possession in the final period. The Grizzlies held the ball for a total of 12:08 in the fourth quarter, giving USD just 2:52 to work with.

Overall, the Griz won the possession battle by more than 10 minutes, keeping control for 35:27. That’s :27 longer than any game total in 2018.

FRESH STARTS: While Montana returns a vastly more experienced team overall in 2019, a total of five Grizzlies made their first-ever starts in maroon & silver at South Dakota in the season-opener.

On offense, freshman guard Tyler Ganoung started after a strong fall camp. After starting nine times at guard last year, senior Cy Sirmon made his first start at center in Vermillion as well.

There were more new faces on the defensive side of the ball, however, with three of the start-ing front-four getting their first run-out, and one linebacker who might be the biggest surprising first-time starter on the team.

Preseason All-Big Sky pick Jace Lewis made his first-ever start for the Griz, despite being a key performer at UM in his sophomore season. Rocky Mountain College Graduate Transfer Ry-der Rice also picked up a start in his first game a senior for the Griz. Also getting his first start after transferring to Montana was Joe Babros, who joined the team earlier this summer out of N.C. State.

The only freshman to earn a start for the defense was Alex Gubner, who turned plenty of heads during fall camp as well.

O CAPTAINS! MY CAPTAINS! The Grizzly players voted on the team’s 2019 captains at the end of fall camp and called upon three of UM’s most decorated players to lead them this fall. Seniors Dalton Sneed, Dante Olson, and Jesse Sims, each known for leading by example, were elected captain this season. Sneed returns for his second-straight season as captain after breaking several records in one of

2019 GRIZ SEASON NOTESthe top overall QB seasons in UM history. Olson was elected captain after leading all of Division-I football in tackles-per-game and shattering the school record with 151 as a junior. A leader on the field and in the weight room, Sims was also elected captain in his senior season.

ON SCHOLARSHIP: Coach Hauck made the dream of being a scholarship student-athlete come true for one Grizzly during fall camp. Sophomore offensive tackle Dylan Cook earned a scholar-ship after working his way into the two-deep. Cook, a Butte native, came to Mon-tana two years ago after playing quarterback at Montana Northern and has adjusted well to the offensive line. HEADS UP QB PLAY: It takes a high football IQ to play the quarterback position at any level, and the Grizzlies roster is loaded with them In ad-dition to the four QBs listed on the team roster, former high school signal-callers are prevalent throughout the team… even the offensive line (Cook). In fact, the only position group that does not contain a former QB? The D-Line. GRADUATE GRIZ: In an effort to promote student-athlete academic success, The National Football Foundation recognized Montana natives Josh Sandry and Ryder Rice as two of 1,439 football players across the country at all levels of college football who have already obtained a degree and will play this fall while pursuing second diplomas in a nation-wide press release Tuesday.

The pair are also two out just of 353 players from 82 FCS schools to earn a place on the list.

Former Griz foot-ball star Vince Hunts-berger, now a Doctor of Emer-gency Medicine, has been selected

to the Grizzly Sports Hall of Fame, UM Director of Athletics Kent Haslam announced in June.

A native of Libby, Huntsberger played for the Grizzlies from 1998-2001 and achieved enormous success both on the field and in the classroom as the 2001 National Championship MVP and a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy.

He never missed a game in his career at UM, starting in 55 in a row. He is Montana’s all-time leading tackler with school-record 469 career stops (includes playoff games), 265 of which were solos.

He was named to numerous All-American teams in 1999, 2002, and 2001, and was a team captain and All-Big Sky Conference selection those three seasons as well. He was tabbed the league’s defensive MVP in 1999 and 2001. In his four years as a starter, the Griz went 45-10 and won four league titles and garnered the 2001 Division I-AA National Championship.

He will be inducted into the Grizzly Sports Hall of Fame on November 15 at the Holiday Inn Downtown in Missoula the night before Mon-tana’s final regular-season home contest of the year against Weber State.

GRIZ OPEN SEASON WITH BIG ROAD WINTo tag it Statement Saturday would be pushing hyperbole, especially considering it's still August. But the Montana football team definitely made an emphatic declaration in its road win over South Dakota at the DakotaDome in Vermillion on Saturday as the 2019 season got underway. Dalton Sneed threw for 430 yards and three touchdowns, and Samuel Akem and Samori Toure both caught nine passes for a combined a 300 yards and a pair of scores as the Grizzlies won 31-17. Montana, which punted just twice and was a sparkling 10 of 16 on third down, had 30 first downs and 510 yards of total offense. It wasn't just a road win over a team from the Missouri Valley Conference. Montana became the first team to defeat the Coyotes in their home opener since Missouri Western did so in 2002, when South Dakota was still a Division II program. "I just told (the team in the locker room), you just did what 16 straight teams could not do, and that was come in here and put a beatdown on them," said second-year coach Bobby Hauck on his postgame radio show. "I don't really think the score says what a beatdown it was. We missed a short field goal. We threw a pick on the six, and we took a knee on the five at the end of the game. It was a helluva perfor-mance by our guys. I'm really proud of them." Montana was kept off the scoreboard through the opening quarter and the game's first 21-plus minutes. That's when the offense finally got rolling. The Grizzlies would score on five straight possessions over the second and third quarters, going touchdown, touchdown, field goal, touchdown, touchdown. All four drives that ended with a touchdown covered 65 yards or more. After South Dakota opened the scoring with a 20-yard field goal early in the second quarter, Mon-tana answered with a nine-play, 67-yard drive that ended with Sneed finding Toure for a 16-yard touchdown. Sneed made it 14-3 when he took the ball in from two yards out later in the quarter, the only run on a drive that covered 82 yards in eight plays. The quarterback, who looked like a redshirt senior in complete control of his team's offense, went 7 for 7 on the drive for 80 yards, hitting five different receivers.

SECOND-HALF SURGE PUTS GRIZ UP BIG OVER LIONSIt’s a special feeling playing inside the confines of Washington-Grizzly Stadium, which the Uni-versity of Montana Grizzlies did for the first time this season on Saturday. The excitement rises to another level when the lights go on. Montana, in the lone night game of the season at home, got better as the game went along against the North Alabama Lions, winning the second half 45-0 on its way to an emphatic 61-17 victory on a warm Saturday evening in Missoula. The win extends Montana’s streak in home openers to 16, although it didn’t look like a sure thing for much of the first half. A resilient UNA team gave the Grizzlies fits in the first half and had a lead at the break, but the defense pitched a second-half shutout to go along with countless highlights from the offense and special teams for the dominant victory from head coach Bobby Hauck and the Grizzlies. “I thought that North Alabama, they are a physical team, I thought they tackled well, and they did a nice job,” Hauck said. “They were ready to go and handled things. We probably helped them a little bit, so at halftime, we said, ‘Our stuff is good. Our plan is sound. We just need to play better,’ and that’s what we did, we played better in the second half.” Montana threw for nearly 300 yards and ran for 234, picking up 34 first downs along the way. The Grizzlies wore down the Lions, running nearly 90 plays. It all came down to the second half, howev-er, as Montana outgained the Lions 304-66 and scored 45 unanswered points. The defense played a huge role in that, forcing four second-half turnovers as North Alabama struggled to get any momentum offensively. The Grizzly defense allowed just four first downs and stopped the Lions on all seven third downs they faced in the second half. “Those interceptions were good and opportune for our team… You get turnovers, you get a chance to win,” Hauck said following the game. Marcus Knight made quite the first impression in his Washington-Grizzly Stadium debut, running for 89 yards and three scores to lead the balanced Montana offense. In any regular game, Knight would have been the out-and-out player of the game. But this was no ordinary game for Montana. There was a special feeling in the air the first time that Jerry Louie-McGee stepped back to field a punt. Chants of, “Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!” erupted from the student section. By the end of the night, the entire stadium was cheering his name. On his first return, he busted off a 36-yard return to set up Montana’s first touchdown of the game. Then on return number two, Louie-McGee went 29 yards and set up another Montana touchdown. But on the third return, he brought the house down. Louie-McGee weaved his way through the North Alabama coverage, scoring on a 74-yard punt return, the third of his career.

LOUIE-MCGEE BECOMES ALL-TIME RECEPTIONS LEADER IN LOSS AT NO. 15 OREGON

The Montana Grizzlies did a good job limiting No. 15 Oregon’s high-powered offense late Saturday night in front of a crowd of nearly 50,000, but the Ducks were too much to handle as Montana lost its first game of the season 35-3 against the Pac-12 opponent.

“I’m disappointed we didn’t come in here and get the win, but they have a really good football team,” head coach Bobby Hauck said following the game. “They were better on defense than I thought they were going to be, and they have a really nice team. The quarterback is just terrific, and we just didn’t have enough for them tonight.”

Jerry Louie-McGee made history under the bright lights of Autzen Stadium, breaking Raul Pache-co’s record to become Montana’s all-time receptions leader. The senior caught six passes, increas-ing his career total to 196. He is also just six yards shy of breaking the 2,000 yard mark.

Montana’s defense - led by Oregon native Dante Olson - put forth a valiant effort against one of the best offenses in the country. Olson was everywhere, making 10 solo tackles and 14 total stops. Montana didn’t allow many big plays to the Ducks, and Olson was a huge part of that, making some impressive solo tackles in the open field. Robby Hauck also had a good defensive game with nine tackles.

The Grizzlies were beat through the air by the talented Herbert, but they did a good job limiting Oregon’s rushing attack. A veteran offensive line of the Ducks didn’t create the mismatch that many may have expected entering the game.

“I was afraid they would knock us off the ball and they didn’t do that, so we probably made some progress with the young D-linemen we played today,” Hauck said.

On offense, the Griz found most of their success through the air, throwing for 234 of their 242 total yards. Dalton Sneed had a good night in just over three quarters of work, completing 20 passes for 184 yards. Samuel Akem and Louie-McGee helped him out, each hauling in six receptions. Akem had 85 yards; Louie-McGee went for 66 yards.

Montana had 12 drives and entered Oregon territory on half of them, doing well to get the defense some rest and not allow the Ducks offense to get much momentum. After scoring 77 points last week against Nevada, Montana held Mario Cristobal’s team to less than half of that total. This is Montana’s seventh straight loss against an FBS opponent.

Montana remained competitive against the Ducks for most of the game, and nearly entered the half trailing by just two scores. But Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert had a huge game, proving that he is one of the premier players in the entire country. He went 30-42 for 316 yards and five touchdowns, becoming the first player in Oregon’s storied history to throw 5+ touchdowns in back-to-back games.

BALANCED GRIZ ROLL TO WIN OVER MONMOUTHMontana put together another big second half at home Saturday against Monmouth, running away from its Big South opponent thanks to a big day from the tight ends and running backs. The Grizzly tight ends combined for four touchdown receptions, Marcus Knight had a career-high rushing, and Malik Flowers registered the longest play in modern Grizzly history in a 47-27 win to finish the non-conference portion of Montana’s schedule with a 3-1 record. Monmouth entered the game at 2-1 and had the fourth-best rushing offense in the country, but Montana limited star running back Pete Guerriero to just 47 yards. Dante Olson led the defense with another big day, making 13 tackles with two and a half for loss and one big sack. “It was a good win for our team,” Head Coach Bobby Hauck said following the game. “Monmouth is a team that, I think they feel they are a playoff-caliber football team and they might be right. They are awfully good, they are well-coached, and they just do a really nice job.” Senior tight end Colin Bingham had four catches for 72 yards and two scores and his position part-ner Bryson Deming also had four catches and two touchdowns. It was a big day for a unit that often doesn’t get much shine, but took advantage of the opportunities Monmouth gave them. The Griz also got a breakout performance through the air from Mitch Roberts, who had five catches for 80 yards off the bench. The trio helped Dalton Sneed to another big day passing, as the quarter-back connected on 30 of his 40 passes – a season-high for completion percentage - for 334 yards and four touchdowns. “The tight ends and Mitch Roberts had a big day,” Hauck said. “Those three caught the ball well and got good hard yards after the catch and after contact. Dalton was seeing it well, and he found the right guys, so it was fun.” Knight also had an impressive day on the ground for the Grizzlies, running for 148 yards with a touchdown. He averaged seven yards per carry and helped lead a 92-yard drive late that sealed the game. It was the first time a Montana running back ran for more than 140 yards since Jordan Canada against Southern Utah in November of 2014.Freshman Nick Ostmo also had a nice day with 47 yards and Sneed had 27 on the ground as well to bring Montana’s team total to 221 rushing yards. The Grizzly defense maintained their excellent play on third down this season. The Hawks were able to convert just 4-of-16 (25 percent) of their third downs in the game. On the season, Montana has allowed just 15 conversions on 52 third-down attempts (29 percent).
