Another week, another road trip for the Eagles, who visit sunny California this week for a game with UC Davis and running back Gabe Manzanares, the subject of our weekly notes column.  We also will have a live chat today at noon - see you then. ... As always, there's a wealth of info on this week's game, courtesy of Eastern sports information director Dave Cook. UC Davis also has plenty of details on Saturday night's contest, which is the Big Sky opener for both teams. ... Individual honors are no consolation to Montana State running back Shawn Johnson after MSU's 52-51 loss to Eastern. ... Idaho State could use a little more fan support. ... Southern Utah and Weber State are both 0-4, so something has to give when they meet Saturday. ...Montana is a bit banged up going into its conference opener against Northern Colorado.
