Montana to start ex-Vik QB Chad Chalich
The Grizzlies suffered several injuries over the weekend in their loss against Liberty, none with more impact than losing starting quarterback Brady Gustafson to a leg injury. On Tuesday, UM head coach Bob Stitt would not comment on the specifics of Gustafson's injury or his timetable to return, but did confirm that Gustafson will not be available this weekend against Northern Arizona and that junior QB Chad Chalich will start in his place. Gustafson suffered the leg injury late in the first quarter of Saturday's game. Chalich came in and played the final three quarters for Montana, finishing 14-of-28 passing for over 220 yards and one touchdown against the then-14th ranked Flames. Chalich does have college experience after starting in seven games back in 2013 as a red-shirt freshman for the University of Idaho/Vince Bagby, NBC Montana. More here.
