MISSOULA — What a game it was last Saturday at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Not only did No. 12-ranked Montana hammered Portland State 57-24, but Eli Gillman rushed for four touchdowns to break the Big Sky Conference record for total career touchdowns with 78.

It was the latest performance in what has been a record-smashing season for Gillman.

On this week's edition of the Griz Insider show, hosts Kyle Hansen of MTN Sports and UM play-by-play broadcaster Riley Corcoran discuss Gillman's day and his season at large with coach Bobby Kennedy.
