2026 Griz Football Schedule Highlights

There are a few games that jump off the page:

The Brawl of the Wild is always big news in Montana. It's always the final week of every year. It always rotates sites. It's not surprising to see it on the schedule, but it will always be THEE game of the year.

The week 3 trip to Corvallis against the Oregon State Beavers. The last time Montana played an FBS team was in 2021. The Grizzlies rolled into Husky Stadium and knocked off the ranked Washington Huskies 13-7. Will the Griz do it again?
