Eastern Washington at Montana - Big Sky Football

MONTANA 57, EASTERN WASHINGTON 16 - With two games left in the regular season, the Montana Grizzlies were in a position where they needed to win the final two games to stay in playoff eligibility. Not only did the Griz win, they controlled the game from wire-to-wire, picking up a 57-16 win over rival Eastern Washington at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Montana running back Jeremy Calhoun scored three short-yardage touchdowns in the first half, giving the Grizzlies a 20-3 lead with 11:04 to go in the fourth quarter. The Grizzlies also scored two defensive touchdowns, with Herbert Gamboa scoring on a 33-yard fumble recovery, and reigning ROOT SPORTS Defensive Player of the Week JR Nelson scoring on a 36-yard interception return. One of the bright spots for Montana was the return of quarterback Brady Gustafson, who missed most the season after leading the Griz to season-opening win over North Dakota State.
