MOSSOULA, Mont. (AP) - The strength and conditioning coach for the Montana football program has resigned after four seasons.

Coach Mick Delaney says Rob Oviatt (OH’-vee-ott) is leaving for personal reasons. Delaney says Tuesday he’s sorry to lose him, but understands the reasons.

Delaney says the fact that Montana players had only two season-ending injuries this year is a tribute to Oviatt and his staff.
