Griz Voted Second in BSC Polls
The Montana Grizzlies will have to take a "We're number two so we'll try harder" approach into the 2014 football season. The Griz have been picked to finish second in the 2014 Big Sky Conference preseason polls by both the coaches and the media, the conference announced Tuesday during the annual Big Sky football kickoff event in Park City, Utah. To no one's surprise Eastern Washington received top honors in both polls and those pesky Bobcats were voted third. Here is how the polls went:
