After watching Eastern put six touchdowns on the board at Oregon, some Eagles fans figure their team can do it every week. Including today at Northern Iowa.

Jake Rodgers figures he did everything he could to earn a chance to play on Sundays. He still might, but the former Shadle Park, Washington State and Eastern Washington star is biding his time after being waived last weekend by the Atlanta Falcons.
If Eastern Washington’s defense is a work in progress, the man in charge is up to the task. For new EWU defensive coordinator Jeff Schmedding, football has been a labor of love ever since the day the former University High star tried to walk on in Cheney.

This sounds familiar. On Saturday, the Eastern Washington football team goes on the road, facing a nasty crowd and an up-tempo offense run by a dual-threat, transfer quarterback.

Cooper Kupp is perfectly unsatisfied, an attitude he hopes rubs off on the rest of the Eastern Washington football players. Three days after the season opener at Oregon – where he caught 15 balls for 246 yards – Kupp appraised his record-breaking work and pronounced it “solid.”
EUGENE – The Eastern Washington football team will move on. Coach Beau Baldwin will make sure of that after a memorable 61-42 loss to Oregon Saturday night that had it all: offensive brilliance, defensive lapses, a foolish act by a young defender and a bittersweet reunion with former Eagles quarterback Vernon Adams.

EUGENE – Vernon Adams Jr. came here for the exposure. His former teammates also found some exposure Saturday night in a game that showcased Eastern’s offense as much as Oregon’s.
Vernon Adams threw for two touchdowns but left his much-anticipated debut after a scary fourth-quarter hit, and No. 7 Oregon defeated his former team, Eastern Washington, 61-42 to open the season on Saturday night.
