Missoula, Montana: “Is this heaven?” “No it’s Washington Grizzly Stadium.”

Units
WR: Advantage Oregon, but no slouches here.
TE: MONTANA and it’s not close
OL: Montana, both starting 5’s are great but Montana’s seconds are crazy good.
QB: One team has Dave Dickenson, the other has Jordan Johnson, you go to war with either one, but…
RB: Montana
Defense: Let’s make this easy, MONTANA right across the board. Oregon has great DE’s, MONTANA’s are greater but not by much. MONTANA is six deep at linebacker while leaving All-Big Sky guys off the team. Neither team has great CB’s outside of Tuff Harris, but he’s pretty GREAT! Montana’s 4 safeties would all be in the conversation for Top 10 best Grizzly players ever regardless of position!
ST: Montana by a factor of ten.

Highlights
- Johnson kept plays alive with his legs but at the end of the day, Montana was too deep and too talented.
- On to the final Montana hosting Washington!
 
it's teams like this (Montana) that keep us longing for the good ol' days when Montana boys made up the bulk of the roster and were starters at many key positions. Seems like now it's only LB and Safety, with the occasional O-lineman thrown in.

No throws to the Tight Ends???
Pfalher is a tight end, Oregon's tight ends were Erik Barker (I think one career catch) and Jacob Haas (zero catches). They couldn't get open against Montana's LB's and Safeties (everyone of whom was either All Big Sky or All American). The Montana safeties were a unit were Vince Huntsberger doesn't start (Heisman Trophy, vote getter) and Shann Schillinger doesn't make the team.

:thumb: I thought Fredrick and Hardy were your Montana TEs and was surprised one didn’t get a few targets.
