Eli Gillman carried the ball eight times on Saturday and ran for 196 yards and four touchdowns.
That is 24 and a half yards every time they gave it to him. The touchdowns went 45 yards, then 15, then 43, then 84.
He touched the ball nine times in all, counting a catch, and finished with 244 yards of offense.
The fourth one was the 78th of his career, and it moved him past Cooper Kupp for the most touchdowns anybody has scored in the history of the Big Sky Conference.
Kupp played at Eastern Washington from 2013 to 2016.
Gillman knew exactly whose number he was chasing. He said so to Colter Nuanez of Skyline Sports afterward, without any of the pretending that usually goes with it.
"I'm very aware of Cooper Kupp."
"I didn't even think that was a reachable goal when the season started."
"I still think Cooper's a stud."
"It'll be crazy to me probably forever."
Gillman is from Cokato, Minnesota and went to Dassel-Cokato Senior High. As a senior he scored 43 touchdowns and ran for more than 1,900 yards and the school won its first state championship.
His mother is Dawn Gillman and she sits in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
He had offers from Central Michigan and Northern Iowa and North Dakota, and from Georgetown and Dartmouth, and he went to Montana.
He ran for 968 yards as a freshman, which no freshman at Montana had ever done. They gave him the Jerry Rice Award that year for the best freshman in the country.
Then 1,104 yards. Then 1,261 and Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year. He owns the longest touchdown run in the history of the program, and he made second team All Big Sky in each of his first two years.
Every January since then he could have left. A running back with those numbers can walk into an FBS building and get paid.
He is still in Missoula.
"I didn't regret it for a second."
"It's made it more known that I made the right decision every single week."
His head coach is Bobby Kennedy.
"He made the conscious decision to stay at Montana and do some special things."
"How many times in my career, other people's careers, do they get to be around one of the all-time greats?"
The coach on the other sideline Saturday was Chris Fisk of Portland State, who watched four of those touchdowns go past him.
"The guy is unflappable. He's never too high. He's never too low. He's got ice in his veins."
Fisk has watched a lot of them.
"I think he's got about nine or 10 of those touchdowns on me."
Gillman has 5,034 rushing yards now, which is fourth in the history of the conference. His 25 touchdowns this season tied Marcus Knight's Montana record.
Montana won 57 to 24.
"Touchdowns, I can't score by myself, really."

All Hakeem had to say was: “Accountability and affordability are the focus. We can, and must, walk and chew gum at the same time.”
Instead, the FIRST thing he said wrongly conflated “getting even” with accountability. That was a signal.
Then he talked about “bipartisanship” as DJT appoints a Nazi as Chief of Staff. Meanwhile, he doesn’t want to abolish ICE and doesn’t support Medicare for All.
Yet some of y’all want to lecture us about “how politics works.” But let Stacey tell all you “parliamentarian experts” about politics as usual.

Calley Means, who recently resigned as a senior Trump White House adviser, tells Joe Rogan:
“Susie's daughter went to a lobbying firm and it was an open discussion in the White House. If a company hired Susie's daughter, then that was getting a high priority.”
“The group Susie's daughter worked for had almost zero in revenue before the Trump administration, shot up to 30ish million dollars a year in revenue.”
“So if you're a special interest and you want to get something done, the secret's out. You pay Susie's daughter.”

Today, 31 years ago, Prime Minister and former Israeli Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by an Israeli Jew who opposed his efforts to build a lasting peace with the Palestinians
I recall speaking to his widow Leah Rabin in London a year after his assassination. She blamed Bibi Netanyahu for inciting violence against her husband that finally led to his assassination. She even prevented Netanyahu from attending her husband’s funeral with the American President & other world leaders on the mount of olives
She said to me “Netanyahu becoming Prime Minister would cause huge suffering to the people of Israel & the Palestinians & undermine Israel’s reputation & influence in the world”
30 years on how right she was
