Montana seeks winning season versus bitter rival
Missoula, MT – It's been 27 years since the University of Montana football program last had a losing season. To salvage a winning season on Saturday, the Grizzlies (5-5) need a Big Sky Conference win at home versus heated rival Montana State in the 112th edition of "The Brawl of the Wild." It's hard to imagine what a difference one year can make. In 2011, the Griz finished 11-3 and fell to Sam Houston State in the FCS national semifinals. Plus, they won or shared 13 of the 14 Big Sky titles between 1998 and 2011. After an offseason filled with turmoil, controversy and the firing of the school's head coach, Robin Pflugrad, and athletic director, Jim O'Day, it's been a difficult season for one of the FCS' most successful programs. A victory on Senior Day versus the Bobcats would avoid UM's first losing season since 1985.

These kids have hung in there through a whole bunch of adversity since Day 1, since the day I did come back to the University of Montana. Nobody deserves to go out with a win anymore than these 12 seniors do. It would mean a tremendous amount to them and to our program." |

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
