"After the game on Saturday, Cal Poly's all-Big Sky fullback Joe Protheroe told Montana redshirt freshman safety Robby Hauck that the Grizzly defense was the most physical he'd played against."
"That's something we take pride (in) on defense is being one of the most physical and relentless defenses in the conference or the nation," Robby Hauck said. "Physicality and swarming the ball are two things we work hard on in practice.""Going to Washington-Grizzly Stadium, I've said it since I started in the Big Sky, I think it's the best venue in the country, including the Missouri Valleys. I've seen most of their stadiums, including North Dakota State, but playing at that place is different.

"I'm excited for that game for my kids. It's a different game. You have to adjust to some things, the crowd being No. 1. I have been down at the red zone before at a prior school and we couldn't hear a lick. Things like that you don't think about when you go to some other places in this conference.
