Tyler Harvey rallies EWU past Weber State

Fittingly, New Year’s Day offered the perfect opportunity for the Eastern basketball players to show their resolve.

They don’t exactly spread the wealth in the Illinois State backfield, and the Redbirds may be richer for it. ISU is 11-1 partly because it habitually puts the ball in the hands of two of the most talented players in the Football Championship Subdivision in running back Marshaun Coprich and quarterback Tre Roberson.

Freshmen stepped up on Eagles’ defensive line

Three months after being thrown in to the fire, Eastern Washington’s young defensive linemen are putting the heat on opposing offenses.
