When Montana Grizzlies Faced Off Against Jackie Robinson and UCLA: The Untold Story That Shook College Football
Robinson didn’t have a carry, but he returned a punt 33 yards to the Montana 24 to set up Washington’s second TD and was noted for his blocking in the game.
“The Montana game was probably the best I saw Kenny play in 1939,” Robinson was quoted as saying in the book “The Forgotten First,” co-authored by Keyshawn Johnson and Bob Glauber, and chronicling the breaking of the NFL’s color barrier.
Montana scored its lone touchdown in the fourth quarter. Left halfback Donald “Red” Bryan completed a 38-yard pass to end Neil Johnson to set up Ed “Butch” Hudacek for a 1-yard run.
