Wow, that was one of the most amazing sports moments I’ve ever witnessed first-hand. I think I’m still in shock a little bit. Going to be hard to find any bad or ugly after a win like that, but here goes:

Good
- here’s a stat for you...Montana is the first non-FBS team to hold a Pac12 team under 10 points since 1985
- defense, defense, defense
- only gave up 65 yards rushing on 27 carries allowing only 2.4 ypc
- only gave up 291 yards total!
- +3 in TO margin!
- Xavier Harris had 15 carries for 70 yards (4.7 ypc)
- Child’s was 9 for 39 (4.3)
- Sulser flipping the field on a couple punts
- Marcus Welnel...wow.....12 tackles and game ending pick
- Robertson with 2 picks
- buschini averaged 47 yards per punt over 7 punts. Long of 58
- only allowed 4-14 third down conversions


Bad
- too many penalties or phantom penalties. 7 for 81 yards, that could have hurt.
- some missed tackles early
- couple guys nicked up

Ugly
- the #20 team in FBS losing on their home field and having to pay 675k to us in the process

Go Griz!
 
Good: (1) The production from what is our #3 and #4 Running backs,
(2) Demonstrated poise. After giving up an opening drive score, the Griz eventually evened things out and then dominated
both sides of the ball in the 4th quarter. It was obvious which team was better conditioned and physically tougher.
(3) DEFENSE!!! Holding the #20 team in the country to 201 yards on 64 plays after the initial drive of the game. Coming
into this season, Washington had what many considered to be the best O line in the Pac 12.
(4) This is a good young and deep team that will improve during the season.

Bad: (1) QB missed some early connections that would've extended some drives.
(2) Roughing the passer on UW opening drive that extended their drive (what happens if ????)

Ugly: (1) Have to wait a week for the next game
 
From what I could tell it was more of an ankle tweak for Harris. He was getting it worked on in front of us. One thing I learned from sitting behind the bench....our trainers are absolutely amazing! They are working on the players non stop. There literally is no break for them, it was eye opening.
