  WEEK 2 BIG SKY CO-OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Eli Gillman, Montana (RB, R-Jr., Dassel, Minn.),...Eli Gillman broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run on his first touch of the game and didn't look back, rushing for a career-high 198 yards and three touchdowns on just 15 carries in Montana's win over Central Washington.

  Eli Gillman ran for 89 yards and two touchdowns and Montana held off Missouri State for a 29-24 victory on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams.

Montana's Ty Morrison made his third field goal of the game - a 38-yarder- to cap the scoring with 1:38 left. Back-to-back sacks deep inside Missouri State territory on the Bears' final possession sealed it for the FCS third-ranked Grizzlies.
