...for Junior Bergen!

The true freshman is a real impact player.

13 for 73.

The young backfield for Montana had a productive day, with Junior Bergen and Isiah Childs combining for 151 yards. Childs scored his first-career touchdown on the second drive of the game for Montana.

"The running backs came through in the clutch," Hauck said. "They looked really good tonight. Isiah rallied back from giving it up and ran hard and physical in the second half. Junior is a true freshman who is a wideout, so it was a good job by him."

The Grizzly offense was consistent all game long, punting just once. Montana converted 50 percent of their third downs (6-of-12) and also went for it on fourth down three times, picking up the first on two occasions.

... Freshman Junior Bergen then helped the Griz march down the field, putting together 19 and 12-yard gains on the ground. Once in the red zone, Humphrey found Samuel Akem for a touchdown strike to put the Grizzlies ahead 14-0.

... Bergen and Childs busted off multiple double-digit gains to move Montana into WIU territory. From there, it was deja vu for the Griz.

the quote from hauck about bergen being wideout matched what i was thinking - at this point, he is kind of on the small (light) side to be a running back, but still excelled. childs seems more like a classic running back, who can repeatedly run up the middle. be interesting to see what happens once harris is healthy, i thought he was fairly similar to childs in terms of running style.
