Grizzlies prevail in overtime to punch ticket to title game
For the first time to Frisco go the Montana Grizzlies, who needed two overtimes to get past North Dakota State 31-29 in a wild FCS semifinal game Saturday at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.
Corbin Walker’s interception of a two-point pass sealed the win for the Grizzlies (13-1), who will play unbeaten defending champion South Dakota State on Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas. It will be their first FCS title-game appearance since the 2008-09 seasons. Both of those games were in Chattanooga, Tenn.
“Obviously we’re thrilled to get that win, and thrilled to be playing in the national championship in a couple of weeks,” Grizzlies coach Bobby Hauck said. “That’s how you should finish up a game like that: Both teams fighting their tails off. You can’t quantify this, but it’s one of the greatest games in the history of our stadium. It was just a privilege to be a part of that game.”
