Griz offensive woes well-rounded in loss to Portland State

on

The story of Montana’s 22-20 loss to Portland State Saturday was an abysmal offensive performance, especially in the first half.

The Griz punted seven times and lost two fumbles on nine first-half possessions. They had -5 yards in the first quarter and improved from there, slightly, to total 55 at the half.

That complete inability to move the ball, coupled with three short fields they gave the Portland State offense after the two fumbles and a blocked punt, staked the Vikings to a 13-0 halftime lead in a game Portland State ended up winning on a last-second field goal.
