Southeast Missouri State vs Montana Preview
Montana (7-4) looks to rebound from a humiliating loss to Montana State and open postseason play with a win on Saturday. For SEMO (9-2) it’s arguably the biggest moment in program history.
“It’s not being a national championship yet, it’s going to be mission ten, so there has never been a football team that has played here that has won ten games,” SEMO head coach Tom Matukewvicz said via WSIL TV. “I’ve thought this team is different since this team got together in January and now you are playing arguably to be the best team in SEMO History.”
SEMO comes to Missoula, Montana, with a three-game winning streak. SEMO closed out the regular season with a 52-22 win over Murray State to secure a share of the Ohio Valley Conference title.
“Southeast Missouri is a tough team. They played a tough schedule,” Grizzlies head coach Bobby Hauck said via NBC Montana. “Finished 9-2, and they’ve got some personnel matchups that are of concern for us.”
Things didn’t go as well for Montana in a 55-21 defeat in Bozeman, Montana, amid national attention with “College Gameday” in town. Montana State jumped out the gate with 21-point first quarter, and the Griz never recover. It represented a microsim of the Griz’ dismal second half of the season where the team stumbled during the final weeks of the season with a 2-5 record in the final seven games after a 5-0 start to the season.
“It’s a tall order to get ready for this one and sort of a short week with coming off a rivalry game and Thanksgiving,” Hauck said via NBC Montana. “So, we’re already deep into our preparation and excited to play.”
“Take a page out of rivals book from a year ago where it was a beat down and then went on a nice little playoff run,” Hauck added. “We need to do that this weekend.”
Montana faces a SEMO team that has been consistent all season with only one FCS loss, a 28-23 defeat against Eastern Kentucky. The Redhawks’ only other loss came against Iowa State in the season opener.
“They’re physical up front on both sides of the ball,” Hauck said via NBC Montana. “On the defensive side, they’re multiple, they play a lot of different coverages and give you problems that way.”
“They’re not letting teams run the ball, averaging only about 100 yards. They’re a tough team to prepare for. They’ve been running three different quarterbacks in recent weeks,” Hauck added.
