FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Adam Damante completed 23 of 30 passes with a touchdown, Northern Arizona added a touchdown pass on a trick play and the Lumberjacks stymied Montana 28-14. Montana entered the game 3-0 and ranked among the Top 15 FCS teams while NAU was 0-3, but the Lumberjacks flipped the script from the opening whistle. A 75-yard, seven-play Montana drive cut the gap to 21-14 at the half. Alex McLaughlin's 25-yard interception return set the Lumberjacks up at midfield and midway through the third quarter Keyonta Lanier scored on a four-yard run. After a pair of punts, the Grizzlies then turned it over on downs three-straight times. Northern Arizona had 396 yards and kept the ball 11 minutes longer than Montana.
