If the Montana Grizzlies football program didn't quite know what it had in a new head coach stepping up from the Division II level, everybody must be believing after Bob Stitt and the 13th-ranked Grizzlies upset four-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State, 38-35, in the FCS Kickoff which opened the college football season on Saturday. Joey Counts scored on a 1-yard fourth-down run with 2 seconds remaining to lift Montana before a record crowd of 26,472 at Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula. Considering top-ranked North Dakota State had more national titles (four) than losses (three) since the start of the 2011 season, it was a surprising and entertaining start to the Stitt era at Montana.
