Overview: The Big Sky’s top offense – EWU – faces the No.1 defense in a game that could see the Eagles clinch at least a tie for the conference title. The Eagles are 6-0 in the Sky for the first time, thanks mostly to an offense that is averaging 544 yards per game and 7.9 yards per play (in conference play). The Mustangs counter with a defense that’s giving up just 308 yards and 15.8 points per game. On the other side of the ball, Cal Poly boasts the leading ground game in FCS; its triple option averages 363 yards.
