Eagles learn patience against Aggies

DAVIS, Calif. – After seemingly gliding down the highway to Frisco, the Eastern Washington offense found itself in a traffic jam Saturday night. Almost 19 minutes into the game, the Eagles had exactly one possession and were trailing on the road against a UC Davis team that milked the clock, refused to make a mistake and generally tested their patience.

EWU can’t afford letdown against UC Davis

DAVIS, Calif. – The drama kings of college football surely could use a little less excitement this week, which can only mean that tonight’s Eastern Washington-UC Davis game will go down to the wire. Coming off an exhilarating 52-51 win last weekend at Montana State, the second-ranked Eagles will be fighting off an emotional letdown as well as a physical Aggies team in their Big Sky Conference opener.

Mt. Spokane edges CV in GSL opener

EWU’s O-line earning top marks

Classes begin today at Eastern Washington University, where the football team’s offensive line just aced another pop quiz. For the fourth time in as many games, the line paved the way for 500-plus yards of total offense in a 52-51 win Saturday at Montana State. They looked even better on film, which assistant coach Aaron Best said graded out among the highest in his 18 years with the team.

More fun times for Eagles

BOZEMAN – As Vernon Adams likes to say, this game is supposed to be fun. And so it was Saturday afternoon – even with 1:55 to play, the Eagles down by seven and needing to go 73 yards against a feisty Montana State team backed by 19,377 fans and half that many cowbells.

Forte has big day in Eastern’s win

BOZEMAN – After one of the biggest days of his college career, it was almost unfair that Eastern Washington running back Quincy Forte was consigned to the sidelines at the end of the Eagles’ 52-51 win at Montana State. Midway through the fourth quarter, Forte picked up 7 yards on a first-down play, but his stomach landed squarely on the football and he was helped from the field.

EWU’s nonconference game with MSU still full of meaning

BOZEMAN – That’s funny, this doesn’t feel like a nonconference game, and it probably never will. As they warmed up at Bobcat Stadium on a pleasant Friday afternoon, the Eastern Washington players also warmed to the subject of a rivalry with Montana State that’s among the biggest in the Big Sky Conference.
