Griz Win Big, Now Play N. Iowa In Third Round
The Montana Grizzlies football team enjoyed a 41-14 rout of the fifteenth ranked team in the land, Central Arkansas. The Griz capitalized on early turnovers and momentum to build a 31-0 first half lead. Washington-Grizzly stadium was packed and rocking the entire game, with unbelievable amounts of energy coming from the fans. The Grizzlies were led by running back Jordan Canada and wide receiver Jabin Sambrano, who each scored two touchdowns apiece. The defense seemed to confuse NFL prospect and Arkansas transfer Nathan Dick, forcing turnovers and keeping him from getting comfortable. Quarterback Jordan Johnson was effective for the Grizzlies, who went 16 of 25 for 135 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Grizzlies were led by a pounding ground game, with the combination of Canada, Dan Moore and Peter Nguyen. These three combined for 58 rushes and 229 yards. The Grizzlies will move on to play Northern Iowa at home in the next round of playoff games, this coming weekend.
Montana will host UNI Friday, Dec. 9, at 6 p.m. The quarterfinal matchup will be televised nationally on ESPN2. Tickets are available at the GrizTix outlets, GrizTix.com, or 888-MONTANA.
