Bergen sets Big Sky record with 6th punt return TD as Montana tops Cal Poly 42-7

The Grizzlies, ranked eighth in the FCS coaches poll, were leading 14-0 as Keali'i Ah Yat and Logan Fife threw first half touchdown passes. Late in the third quarter, Bergen fielded the punt at the right hashmark and angled to the left before blazing down the sideline.

The Grizzlies (7-2, 4-1 Big Sky Conference) then used interceptions by Chrishawn Gordon and Garrett Hustedt to get short fields and a pair of short touchdown plays to lead 35-0. Eli Gillman had a 3-yard run and freshman lineman Lucas Freitas fell on a loose ball Fife fumbled into the end zone.

Fife was 12-of-16 passing for 137 yards with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Keelan White. Ah Yah was 9 of 14 for 137 and a 24-yard touchdown to Xavier Harris.

Three quarterbacks combined to go 20 of 36 for 234 yards for the Mustangs (2-6, 1-4) with Richie Watts throwing an 18-yard touchdown pass to Alek Marshall. Je'Kob Jones was 13 of 28 for 147 with the two interceptions.

Fourth-ranked UC Davis (8-1) is at Montana next weekend.
