Seven days after the big win in Corvallis, the Eagles are home for Western Oregon. Here is my preview story, plus another from SWX. ... Western Oregon's team is covered in the school web site. ... Eastern's next opponent, Toledo, faces Missouri and former Rockets' coach Gary Pinkel. ... Sam Houston State will get the full attention of Texas A&M and Johnny Manziel, whose half-game suspension is behind him. ... Likewise, Utah is vowing not to look past Weber State today. ... North Dakota faces South Dakota State today in the Potato Bowl. ... This week's game against Fort Lewis should be a breather for Southern Utah, which knocked off FBS South Alabama last week and visits Washington State next Saturday. ... Montana State looks to knock off Southern Methodist today.
