Love this quote put out there by Colter Nuanez - we are a much more dangerous team when JJ is a threat to run and he can operate out of the shotgun. Follow the link to read the entire article. Colter did a great job!

After halftime, Montana continued to run its newfound spread read option attack, an offense reminiscent of the one the Grizzlies used when Robin Pflugrad was the head coach and UM made a run to the semifinals in 2011. The last two seasons under Delaney, UM has run a pro-style attack.
Montana quarterback Jordan Johnson, who was a game-time decision because of a sprained ankle suffered last week, rushed for 80 yards on six carries, including a 23-yard scamper to set up Jordan Canada’s first rushing touchdown and a 43-yard burst to set up a four-yard Canada touchdown reception to cap the first quarter scoring.
“When we switched to the more read-style gun runs, they keyed on me in the beginning and Jordan was able to take advantage of them,” said Canada, who finished with 119 yards to go over 1,000 for the season for a second straight year. “Then we started to go back and forth and they didn’t know what to do.”
“We just decided to go with that style of offense,” added Johnson. “That’s what we are going to do from now on.”
Johnson completed 22-of-36 passes for 313 yards including scoring throws to Canada, freshman wide receiver Josh Janssen and senior tight end Mitch Saylor. Johnson moved to 3-0 in his career against Montana State. Saturday marked his first win over the rival in Missoula.
“I wasn’t going to miss this game for anything,” Johnson said
“Jordy is as tough a guy as I’ve ever been around and I’ve been around a lot of them,” Delaney said.
