MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) -- Peter Nguyen ran a punt back 90 yards for a touchdown Saturday to pace Montana to a 34-14 win over Liberty.
After a slow opening 10 minutes, Nguyen brought the crowd to its feet with a jaunt down the left side of the field to give Montana a 7-0 lead.
The Grizzlies (2-1) tacked on another 17 points before halftime on a 32-yard run by Dan Moore, a 6-yard run by Trent McKinney and a 42-yard field goal by Chris Lider.
The Flames cut the Montana lead to 24-7 early in the third quarter on a 14-yard pass from Josh Woodrum to Pat Kelly.
Montana answered back with 12:20 to play in the fourth quarter when McKinney hooked up with Greg Hardy on a 2-yard touchdown pass to go back up 31-7.
A 31-yard pass from Woodrum to Ryan Fegurson with 10:11 to play ended the scoring for Liberty (0-3).
