Football

University of Montana student Matthew Brenner, who kicked a 45-yard field goal to win $10,000 during an Oct. 31 Griz game – only to learn he was ineligible to participate in the promotion because he hadn’t been away from organized football for five years – will get another chance at the prize.

A car dealership, is sponsoring the do-over for the sophomore.

To win the prize, Brenner, who kicked in high school, will have to make an identical kick during Saturday’s game against Northern Colorado.
