Montana at EWU, halftime

EAGLES

It’s not often you trail at halftime 21-10 and feel pretty good.

But that’s the case for the Eastern Eagles right now.

When Montana jumped out with 21 first-quarter points - including a 94-yard punt return and Josh Swogger’s bullet touchdown pass - it looked like the Eagles might be blown out.

But EWU’s defense tightened , Matt Nichols connected with Brynsen Brown on a touchdown pass, Brett Bergstrom connected on a field goal and, as a team, the Eagles look like they’ve connected with the Grizzlies.

The second half, which once looked like it would be a formality, now might be very interesting.
