Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Montgomery). They managed a 52-46 win over the Dayton Broncos on Friday. That's more bragging rights for the Bears, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Montgomery's defensive line and their four sacks. Lance Ehlers was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself. Ehlers is also crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least five every time he's taken the field this season.
Despite the loss, Dayton still got an impressive performance from Denim Foster, who rushed for 129 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 91 receiving yards. Another player making a difference was Jerry Prieto Jr, who threw for 215 yards and one TD.
