In 2017—the last time Montana squared off against Washington—the Huskies cruised to a 63-7 blowout victory in which they gained over 500 yards. Montana came into Saturday's matchup hoping to "close the gap" in a game in which the program was paid $675,000 to play in.
Suffice to say, the Grizzlies closed the gap and then some.
Montana pulled off perhaps the most stunning upset of college football's opening weekend, beating No. 20 Washington, 13-7, with a stifling defensive performance. The FCS Grizzlies went 10-4 and finished No. 6 last season, and followed up that impressive campaign with one of the biggest upsets in program history.
