Ah Yat

[Art Spooner]

Too-early-analysis based on too-few-examples but his mechanics looked good. More time at college game speed needed to correct a few judgment mistakes.

Remember, Brian had a redshirt year of practice reps/weight room and a redshirt freshman year of reps from the middle of the 3rd quarter on (shared with Josh P) in 1995, including 3 of 4 games in the playoffs. Lots of meaningful experience before winning his first game as a starter against Oregon State in 1996.

Kind of surprised Ah Yat didn’t get into the game with 5-7 minutes to go after the back breaker. Really no reason to keep Cliff in at that point with the game in hand. We saw Childs and a little X, but none of the backup receivers or QB (that I noticed).

For anyone still wondering about how to pronounce "Keali'i", listen to how his father pronounces it in this video from a year ago:

Maybe someone can pass it on to our announcers, too.

For anyone wondering how to pronounce any of the Grizzly names, just go to the official Montana Griz football page and they have a sign next to their name on the roster. Click it and hear it straight from the horses mouth.

I don't know how many legacy players the Griz have had over the years, but he sure seems like one of the best. Such a fun story. And his name is challenging but it's not that hard. Hawaiian names are just different than what we're used to. Go try to pronounce that Danny U guy's last name from MSU. Keali'i Is easy compared to that lol.

Hopefully we have the game in hand enough to allow K-Yat to get some reps tomorrow!

Go Griz!

That is so good to see! I was impressed with his brief performance and have high hopes for his future. Although I worry his talent could make him a transfer target with large NIL potential, I hope his family ties to UM and his father Brian’s love of UM’s tradition keeps him here for his entire college career.
