On to 2026

If Gillman wants to maximize his NFL career he should stay right here at Montana. There are plenty of FCS running backs that do get drafted. Isaiah Davis from SDSU and 5th round pick by the Jets is an example of one who has a similar skillset to Gillman. Staying at Montana as our feature running back is going to give him more game experience and film than having to be part of a running back committee in FBS. Gillman is also going to get a lot more experience and film in pass protection next year with how much Ah Yat advanced this year and will continue to advance next year.

Eddie George.
 
I know we are all a little bummed with no NC this year, but the longer we dwell on what is past, we lose sight of what we hope will come tomorrow.

On to 2026!

No. Running granddads defense is not the answer. 4-2-5.

It might be Granddad's defense but it's better than the 3-3-5, especially when you can't defend the pass.

Yeah yeah, I know the lame claim "but, but" we had so many interceptions" yeah and far more big plays against the Defense that eventually cost them the BSC title and a trip to the NC.

I am glad you recognize it as grandads defense though. It has proven effective for decades.

Think other teams’ completion percentage was low too.

Almost anything is better than the 3-3-5. If your takeaway was that I was somehow defending or promoting the 3-3-5 in any way, you misunderstood. My point was that there are better options than the 4-3, which was effective for decades against offenses run in those decades…which generally aren’t run much anymore.

Agreed. I was just throwing ideas out.
