Mitch Pelroy lit the fuse and the University of Montana Western exploded.

Set up by a 33-yard kickoff return from the speedy Coupeville High School grad, the Bulldogs crushed MSU-Northern 60-15 Saturday in NAIA gridiron action, claiming the school’s first winning record in a decade.

Closing with four straight wins, Montana Western finished the season 6-5 overall, 6-4 in the Frontier Conference. It was the school’s first winning season since 2004.

Sophomore Sam Rutherford keyed the win, rambling for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He snapped the school’s single-season rushing record with 1,061 yards — the first Bulldog to break 1,000 yards.

Montana Western quarterback Tyler Hulse wrapped up a stellar career as a Bulldog by passing for 244 yards and three touchdowns. Hulse capped his final game by rushing for a 15-yard touchdown as well.

Playing as a redshirt sophomore, Pelroy led the Bulldogs in both punt (four returns for 56 yards) and kickoff returns (16-389) and was fifth on the team in all-purpose yardage with 445 yards.

He also recorded 14 solo tackles and four assists while playing in the defensive backfield.

Three tackles sparked a third straight win.

Sparked by the defensive performance of Coupeville High School grad Mitch Pelroy (two solo tackles and an assist), Montana Western roared back to upend College of Idaho 30-27 Saturday in NAIA football action.

The victory lifted the Bulldogs to 5-5 overall, 5-4 in Frontier League play and avenged an earlier season loss to the Yotes, who also have a Wolf alum on their roster.

Former CHS lineman Anthony Maggio is redshirting during his freshman year.

Playing on Senior Day, Montana Western grabbed the lead with two minutes to play.

Bulldog quarterback Tyler Hulse drove his squad down the field, setting up sophomore Sam Rutherford, who slammed in for the go-ahead touchdown on a nine-yard run.

Montana Western then sealed the victory when Jesse McCloud picked off a last-second Yote pass.

Pelroy has been a force on both sides of the ball as the Bulldogs have bounced back after a rough start.

He has eighteen tackles (14 solo, four assists) from his position in the defensive backfield and is the team’s top kickoff (15 returns for 356 yards) and punt returner (4-56).

Montana Western closes the regular season Nov. 8 with a road game at Montana State-Northern. The first time around the Bulldogs demolished the Polar Bears 50-30.

Can’t hold him down.

Former Wolf football star Mitch Pelroy ripped off big return yardage Saturday, doing his part to help spark the Montana Western gridiron squad to its first victory in four weeks.

The 50-30 savaging of visiting Montana State-Northern in NAIA action snapped a three-game skid and improved the Bulldogs to 2-3. They now have a bye week before returning to action Oct. 4 against Carroll College.

Pelroy was his team’s primary return man Saturday, taking back four kickoffs for 97 yards, with his longest run stretching 28 yards.

He also hauled in Montana State’s lone punt, picking up 10 yards before being taken down. He was a hit on defense as well, recording a tackle from his defensive back position.

Bulldog quarterback Tyler Hulse ran for three touchdowns and threw for two more as Montana Western strolled up and down the field all day.

Bragging rights for the state of Montana were on the line, and Mitch Pelroy did his part for the cause.

The former Coupeville High School football star, now a sophomore defensive back at Montana Western University, had a hand in four tackles Aug. 23 as his Bulldogs thumped rival Montana Tech 38-6 in their season opener.

Pelroy recorded two solo tackles and assisted on two others as Montana Western dropped the defensive boom on the Orediggers.

Senior quarterback Tyler Hulse threw for three touchdowns and ran for another as the NAIA school opened Frontier League play with a huge win.

The Bulldogs will have to take it up several notches this week, when they travel to Cheney to play a non-conference game Saturday, Aug. 30 against NCAA Division 1 school Eastern Washington.

It will be the only time Pelroy and his teammates play in Washington state this year.

Eastern blasted Sam Houston State 56-35 in its opener, but could be primed for an upset if they get caught looking ahead to the game after Montana Western’s visit.

That’s a Sept. 6 match-up with the University of Washington in Seattle.
