10/01/26 - RB Eli Gillman, rSr/2027, Montana, (DS#5 RB)

09/28 WEEK 4 BIG SKY OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Eli Gillman, RB, Montana,...Not even halfway through his senior season, Eli Gillman put an exclamation mark of a game on a career whose legend continues to grow by the day. Already sitting at the top of Montana's record books Gillman had his best game ever as a Grizzly on Saturday night, rushing for a school record 275 yards and four touchdowns to become the Big Sky Conference's outright all-time leader in rushing TDs. He saved his biggest performance for UM's biggest game of the season to date, leading the No. 4/5 Grizzlies to a dominant 62-22 road win over No. 9/10 UC Davis in the FCS Game of the Week.

Gillman's day at Davis was one the best in all of college football this season and he earned his flowers on Monday, sweeping the weekly awards as both the Stats Perform FCS National Offensive player of the Week and the Big Sky Offensive Player of the Week. Gillman's 275 yards broke Montana's 25-year-old single-game rushing record of 265 set by Yohance Humphrey against Weber State in 2001. Those 275 yards are also the most in a single game in the Big Sky, the FCS, and all of D-I football so far this season. His four rushing touchdowns are also tied for the most in D-I football. They brought his career total to 60 rushing touchdowns, moving him past Sacramento State's Charles Roberts to become the league's all-time rushing touchdown record holder. - Montana Football
