Sac Bee: CSU Hornets beat #5 Montana

[Proud Griz Man]

. . . Taylor likes to say that his Sacramento State football team is not a “fear-based” outfit. He’s right.

. . . Thomson’s six-touchdown effort and an attacking defense, No. 15 Sac State prevailing 49-22 over the storied Montana Grizzlies in a Big Sky Conference showdown of title contenders on Homecoming night for perhaps the most significant victory in program history in front of 15,140 fans at Hornet Stadium.
The only thing that would rival this effort would be a Causeway Classic win over rival UC Davis. Saturday’s crowd was the third largest at Sac State for a non-Causeway Classic game and eighth all time.
What is known is that Montana marks the highest-ranked victim at Sac State, and this comes a week after the Hornets (5-2, 3-0) beat then-No. 5 Montana State in Bozeman. That was the highest ranked win for Sac State in its FCS era, which started in 1993. . . . It was also a joyous night for Andy Thompson, Sac State’s first-year defensive coordinator who is a Montana graduate. His unit recorded six sacks, 2 1/2 by Dariyn Choates, and eight tackles for loss. The Hornets broke up five passes and had interceptions by Daron Bland and Malik Jeter.

I know he might not run the scheme Hauck wants, but Thompson was someone I really wanted at DC. Hes proving he’s one of the best defensive coaches in the conference.

Hauck wanted a 3-3-5?

I may be wrong, but I thought he wanted to bring Rocky Long’s defense from SDSU from the jump.
