MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Campbell took out their frustrations from last weeks lost on Montana in a convincing 55-27 victory. The Camels set a record for most points scored while their defense continued to be streaky. The Grizzlies kept it close in the first half as both teams went had two possessions before the Camels made a field goal with two minutes left in the first.

The score was tied at 10-10 after a Montana field goal and then Campbell scored a touchdown with 3:04 left in the second and never looked back. 28 points in the fourth quarter sealed the deal on this one as Campbell’s second string was just looking to waste time but kept finding daylight and as a result, the end zone.

Camel QB #90 Toothless Nick ran the ball 11 times for 93 yards and 3 touchdowns, a formula Campbell had not tried up to this point in the season. Coach Justin Average was asked about his signal-caller’s success on the ground.

“I thought we left the QB run back in last season with the option but Nick has the green light out there and he was seeing things we weren’t from the sideline. Obviously we should listen to him more as it payed off on multiple occasions.”

Nick also threw the ball for 164 yards on nine completions and did a great job directing the offense. However it was the punter, #62 Wasabi Ackbar, who had the throw of the day for the Camels. With 6:35 left in the 4th quarter and a seven point lead, Average sent the special teams unit onto the field for a fourth down play. However Ackbar took the snap and drifted right before throwing the ball to a wide open Pitch Perf, the senior transfer from Indiana at tight end.

“We felt like we had a good read on where their defense would line up and when I saw them lining up for the punt block I knew we had it. Ackbar used to be a QB in Pop Warner so I knew he had the chops, and Perf made the right move by waiting for the ball to get to him before turning and running to the end zone. Look the ball in kids, if you’re listening at home.”

Campbell moves to 3-2 on the season and settles into a long week of preparation for top-ranked conference foe Jacksonville State. Montana is 1-4 on the year and will face upstart Portland State, who is undefeated in Big Sky conference play. Coach Average was honest about the game as he wrapped up his time with the press.

“I wish Montana nothing but the best as they move forward. In the words of a semi-popular singer, they just need to ‘shake it off.’ Everybody needs a rebuilding year and they lost a lot of seniors from last season. But, that being said, don’t take anything away from my guys. They played like warriors today and were rewarded for it. I couldn’t be prouder to be a Fighting Camel and we’re on to get ready for the next game.”
