Montana Grizzlies Football

University of Montana President Seth Bodnar recently announced that 3,000 free tickets would be offered for students to attend the FCS playoff game against the Furman.

Montana felt right at home in a winter storm on Saturday night inside Washington-Grizzly Stadium, blowing out No. 11 Delaware 49-19 in the Second Round of the FCS Playoffs.

The Griz welcome a Delaware squad to town that has been one of the tops in the FCS in recent years and comes to Missoula for the second time in program history.

Two days after delivering Montana its first Big Sky Conference championship since 2009, Stats Perform announced Monday Grizzly head coach Bobby Hauck is one of 20 finalists for the 2023 Eddie Robinson FCS Coach of the Year Award.

Montana officially earned the No. 2 seed in the 2023 FCS football playoff bracket, the NCAA announced Sunday morning during the annual selection show on ESPNU.

The No. 3 Griz won the first-ever Brawl that featured both teams ranked inside the top five nationally 37-7 to win the outright Big Sky Conference Championship and a likely top-two seed and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

The long-time tradition of the UM and MSU bands performing at the big rivalry big game came to an end as a way to increase the number of tickets available.

For the second straight week Montana allowed its opponent to score first, but just like last week's top 10 win over Sacramento State that was about all the Grizzlies gave up in Portland.

Saturday night's 34-7 domination of No. 7 Sacramento State lifted the Montana Grizzlies to first place in the Big Sky Conference.

The business end of the season officially arrives at Washington-Grizzly Stadium this week in a prove-it moment for Montana, with the two-time defending conference champion and No. 7 ranked Sacramento State coming to Missoula.
