MISSOULA – The Eastern Washington defense was living on the edge late in Saturday’s win over Montana, but positively thrived on it for much of the game.

No. 3 Eagles enter Grizzlies’ den

One thing the Eastern Washington players know about Saturday’s football game at Montana: There won’t be much room for error – on or off the field.

Eagles fill Gehring’s plate, and the senior gobbles it up

The face of Eastern Washington football? It might just be Zack Gehring. The senior from Castle Rock, Wash., has 26 career starts, two prominent former Eagles athletes for parents and a national title ring; a lot of kids would love to be in Gehring’s position – whatever that is.
