Editor’s Note: Leading up to the 118th edition of the fierce football rivalry between the Bobcats and the Grizzlies, Skyline Sports will provide features on five of the game’s key matchups between Montana and Montana State.
PART I —THE MATCHUPS: Troy Andersen vs. Griz defense
PART II — THE MATCHUPS: Griz offensive line vs. Bobcat defensive line
UM offensive coordinator Timm Rosenbach has had to tap into his imagination this year to help the Griz mask an inexperienced front. Rosenbach has often put dual-threat quarterback Dalton Sneed in roll out situations to stress the edges of opposing defenses and use Sneed’s athleticism to UM’s advantage.
And while the numbers have not been as prolific for Montana’s wide receivers as the past few seasons operating former head coach Bob Stitt’s up-tempo spread offense, the talent Stitt and his staff recruited and developed has given UM matchup advantages on the perimeter all season.
