Scouting the Griz
•  Montana comes to Greeley after squeaking past Southern Utah last week 20-19.Â
• UM has dropped two games in Big Sky play, both teams also defeated the Bears in Sacramento State and Eastern Washington. The Griz started the year with a win over Washington.
• Football is a game of three phases and Montana is one of the best at special teams. They lead the Big Sky in kickoff return offense (29.33 yards), kickoff return defense (15.56 yards), net punting (44.59 yards) and punt return defense (2.92 yards).Â
• Patrick O'Connel has been wreaking havoc on opposing offenses all year long. He leads the Big Sky with 1.31 sacks and is second in tackles for loss with 1.8 a game.
• Linebacker Robby Hauck is a tackling machine averaging 9.6 per game. That ranks third in the Big Sky and 18th in the FCS.
