MISSOULA — After losing a 49-44 shootout on the road last week at ranked Northern Arizona, the Montana Grizzlies, now No. 7 in the FCS media poll, turns its attention to an old rivalry.
The Griz (5-2, 3-1 Big Sky) host Idaho (1-5, 1-2) on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Washington-Grizzly Stadium as the teams battle for the Little Brown Stein. Montana has won nine of the past 10 matchups against the Vandals dating back to 2000.
On this week's edition of the Griz Insider show, hosts Kyle Hansen of MTN Sports and Montana play-by-play broadcaster Riley Corcoran are joined by Griz coach Bobby Kennedy and wideout Landon Ransom-Goelz.
