MISSOULA — No. 8 Montana survived in its Big Sky Conference opener last week, eking out a 52-49 win on the red turf at Eastern Washington.
Quarterback Logan Fife drew the start as Keali'i Ah Yat missed the game with an injury, and Fife delivered a big-time performance, throwing for 364 yards and five touchdowns as the Griz racked up 701 yards of offense, the second-most in program history.
On this week's edition of the Grizzly Insider, hosted by MTN Sports' Kyle Hansen and UM play-by-play announcer Riley Corcoran, Fife and Montana coach Bobby Hauck talk about the win over the Eagles. Watch the complete episode in the video above.
