Montana Scores 31 Unanswered Points to Topple SEMO in Playoff Nightcap

At this time last week Montana’s players and coaches were tossing and turning in their beds, not knowing if they’d be in the postseason mix after a horrid showing in their regular season finale. Fast forward to now, though, and the Grizzlies are happily on their way to the second round after staging an epic comeback to take down Southeast Missouri State on Saturday night in Missoula.

The Redhawks silenced the Grizzly faithful early in the first when Lawrence Johnson recovered a fumble by UM quarterback Lucas Johnson and returned it for a touchdown. SEMO led it 7-0 early and had stolen momentum.
