Montana announces 2006 football recruiting class
The University of Montana’s football team tried a new look during the 2005 season when its usually dominant and balanced offense was replaced by a smothering defense and a power-based running game.

After the talent-rich 2006 recruiting class of 15 players officially announced their intentions Wednesday, next year’s squad might blend the best of both styles.

"We didn’t have a lot of scholarships available so it’s a relatively small class but I think it’s a quality group," coach Bobby Hauck said. "We filled the needs that we had and we also recruited some top-notch athletes who have great potential."
