Montana beats Eastern Washington 29-24, extends winning streak to four, improves to 10-0.

No. 2 Montana defeated Eastern Washington 29-24 in a close Big Sky game, improving to 10-0 on the season and extending its winning streak over the Eagles to four games. The Grizzlies built a 22-0 halftime lead fueled by quarterback Keali'i Ah Yat’s two passing touchdowns and a rushing score, along with Korbin Hendrix’s one-handed 29-yard touchdown catch. Eastern Washington rallied in the second half, with redshirt-freshman quarterback Jake Schakel throwing a touchdown and leading a late drive that ended with a touchdown and onside kick recovery, but Schakel fumbled on a spike attempt at Montana’s 5-yard line as time expired. Montana’s defense recorded eight sacks and two interceptions, including key plays by Kenzel Lawler and Hayden Schwartz. The Grizzlies will face Portland State on November 15 at 3 p.m. MT.
