Andrew Schmidt joins Colter Nuanez for the longest, loudest Schmidt Storm yet after Montana's home loss to Idaho. Schmidt unloads on a Griz defense that has given up 70 percent on third down the last two weeks, 13 injured starters and questions about strength and conditioning, the athletic department's fundraising and the unfinished Washington-Grizzly Stadium press box, and why Montana should call Ferris State's Tony Annese, who has won four national titles since 2021.

Talkin' Schmidt is presented by Holloway & Hulling.

October 18, 2026 was a wild night in Missoula, Montana.

It started at Washington-Grizzly Stadium where the Montana Grizzlies lost 42-35 to the Idaho Vandals. Idaho's QB Joshua Wood had a huge game with 335 yards and 4 total touchdowns, while Montana dropped from No.7 to No.14 in the STATS FCS Top 25 poll.

Just hours later, around 10 PM, University of Montana Police sent a campus-wide alert: BEAR ON CAMPUS near the Oval. Students were told to avoid the area as officers searched the campus for over an hour.

And while that was happening, Missoula Police were downtown investigating two separate assaults that they say might be connected. The investigation is still ongoing.

One city, one night, three big stories. This is what really happened in Missoula on October 18.

TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - Montana vs Idaho - Shocking Loss at Home
01:32 - Bear on Campus Alert
02:05 - Downtown Police Investigation

Sources: Montana Griz Football, Idaho Vandals, UMPD Alerts, MTN Sports, The Analyst. Video clips used under fair use for news reporting. Original graphics and commentary added.

If you were in Missoula that night, let me know what you saw in the comments.

Eric Kjar has Weber State tied for the number one record in the Big Sky Conference. What is Weber State's ceiling this season? South Dakota State was looking like the best team in the country before falling to North Dakota. Can they be the best team in the country with Chase Mason as their starting QB?
