Portland State Vikings

She is not on the roster anymore. Did she graduate? I thought she still had one more year.

Just a note a bit off topic. Read today that 28% of current D-1 ballers went into the transfer portal after this season. Not that the portal didn’t already affect Portland State and other Big Sky schools... welcome to the new world. My EWU friends are saying 6 Eagle players are in the transfer port...

Final

Montana 48
Portland State 7

Still a lot of work to do before Hawaii.

Glad I didn't pay for this. Its like the Rcoky III show where Rocky and Hulk Hogan meet for an exhibition and Rocky says before the match begins if they could get a "Poloroid" together afterwards, and Hogan throws him out of the ring. Well, I think we've been thrown out of the ring. Wonder...

0-7 on 3rd down efficiency since the 1st quarter.

End 3rd Griz up 41-7. Viks almost doubled their total yards on the Talalemotu TD catch. early in the 3rd.

That is correct. Seems like the Griz defense is living in our backfield. Not good. 41-7 now 4:14 left in the 3rd.

Ugly halftime stats for the good guys...

5 1st downs
42 yards rushing (Alexander with 40 of those yards)
87 yards passing
1-7 3rd down efficiency
1 blocked punt

Alexander, 9-12 passing with no picks, 40 yards rushing.

Griz QB Humphreys throw to Samuel Akem for a 15yd TD, PAT good, 9 secs left 2nd, UM 27, PSU 0.

3:41 2nd...Griz blocked Vernon's punt, then the next play, David Joseph intercepts Humphrey's pass in the end zone. Viks ball UM 20.

5:12 in the 2nd, UM QB Humphreys passes to Sulser for a 54yd TD score. PAT is no good, Griz 20, Viks 0.

Griz Harris scores another TD, this time on a 4yd run. PAT good, 9:41 left 2nd, UM 14, PSU 0.

PSU's big pass play to Talemato wiped out by a penalty. Viks have to punt. 14 mins left, 2nd, Griz 7, Viks 0.

End 1st

Montana 7
Portland State 0

Griz Xavier Harris with a 28yd TD run. Extra Point good, 5:26 left 1st, UM 7, PSU 0.

Each team had a good drive. Viks elected to go for it from the Griz 27 instead of taking the field goal and Griz defense held. 7:48 left 1st PSU 0, UM 0.

Jase Coburn named head coach of the men's team.

So, I *thought* that Val had set April 15th to fill this position? In the meantime, other Big Sky schools are gleefully announcing their recruits that have signed on for next year, while we are incapacitated. This does not bode well. The definition of frustration...Being a fan of the Portland Trail...
