Series: UW leads 1-0 (http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_iaa/bigsky/eastern_washington/opponents_records.php?teamid=3421)
Last Meeting: 2011 - UW won 30-27 (http://goeags.com/sports/m-footbl/2011-12/Statistics/09-03-11.htm) in Seattle, WA.



This week's game is being televised nationally on the Pac-12 Networks, interestingly, by the same crew that worked last year's season-opening 49-46 victory at No. 25 Oregon State. That victory was just the fourth time an FCS school has defeated a ranked FBS team, and the Eagles may get a chance to be the fifth this season.


Fans may also listen to the EWU-UW game live regionally on 700-AM ESPN and via the web at http://www.700espn.com, with pre-game coverage starting 1 1/2 hours prior to kickoff.


"We're excited and appreciative of the opportunity to play the Huskies again," said head coach Beau Baldwin, who grew up in nearby Tacoma, Wash. "Over half of our roster is from the Puget Sound area and 70 percent of our players are from the state of Washington. So it's a great opportunity to play in a game like this in front of family and friends, to play an incredible Pac-12 program and to play at an incredible place. Most of our coaching staff is also from the Seattle area, so we all grew up watching the Huskies and were around their program. This game has a special meaning to it a number of ways."

Why can't the Pac 12 Network and DirecTV get their **** together? I can get just about every football game known to man on my TV but not any games on the P12 Network.

I know, it really pisses me off. How frickin' hard is it to come to some sort of agreement?

Like I said last week... This is Chris Petersen coaching Pac-12 talent (good luck Eastern) this could be ugly

[marenlee]

I thought the Hawaii/UW game showed that UW could be vulnerable. Still a lot of game left, but not looking pretty. With no defense it's going to be hard for the Eagles to get back into this.

What? You don't need defense to win games!

[Cleets]

That was a good EW Defensive stop... Field Goals are a stop in this game

[IBleedYellow]

Score?

[marenlee]

Ruh Roh. 24-14 Huskies after 1.

That was a beautiful pass from Adams... Cupps is killing the No. #1 corner of the Huskies

[Red & Black]

Eastern on a 21-3 run, weathers the early storm after being down 21-0. Now UW 24 EWU 21.

Actually 37-31. UW missed their last XP.

[dudeitsaid]

EWU gets the ball to start the 2nd half. Hope the coaches are as good at making half time adjustments for this game as they usually are!

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Is this game on the net anywhere?

[GOB1SON]

This game is offensive. Ugh.

[dudeitsaid]

Huskies will likely just run it the rest of the game. And that swing pass. We can't seem to stop it, and its almost to risk of turnovers for them. They will just wait for us to make a mistake. If we can find a stop, we could win this game. If not...it could be a tough flight home!

Crap! So much for his running risk and that dimension to our game.

[Cleets]

Adams is such a drama queen... you gotta laugh
YES he's excellent - but - he's also really dramatic

[dudeitsaid]

Guess the backup will have to come in so he can go to the locker room like last year.

[dudeitsaid]

Cue the blitzes, they know he can't get away

[Cleets]

Still dropping dimes in there... he is amazing

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

This is like watching a video game.

[thebootfitter]

That last TD to go up by 1 was pretty tight. Right in front of me on the field.

[Bison56]

Score?

[Kemo]

Onside kick EWU in the 3rd Quarter when you're ahead? Coaching staff has that little faith in their D?

[thebootfitter]

45-44

[thebootfitter]

Yeah, that was a dumb call on the kick

[Kemo]

Score?
45-44 EWU.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Both defenses are terrible.

[Kemo]

And of course, EWU defense forces a 4th down, but because of the field position, UW goes for it and converts.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

The 4th quarter should be interesting.

Whichever team has the ball last will probably win.

[Red & Black]

Cue the blitzes, they know he can't get away

Hate to say it, they need to get him into the locker room if we have a chance to win this late. That, and of course the D needs to make some sort of stop.

I can't tell if Adams actually has cramps or just likes having the camera on him... (He's a bit of a drama queen)

Baldwin is a bit of a risk taker. I think its better to try to take them by surprise when he did because their would be less of a chance of expecting it. It was close to working.

[Red & Black]

Both defenses are terrible.

NDSU's defense would do little to stop UW's offense, either. We aren't talking Iowa State here. The speed is not comparable.

Today (right now) NDSU is a better team than the Washington Huskies
But that might not be the case after Petersen has a year or two to build a team

[SDFS]

Go EWU Eagles - take out the huskies..

I wont argue with this but what I see today is very good offenses and poor defenses.

Well, I hope EWU and NDSU get matched up this year. I would like to see the Bison defense against VA and that offense. Trouble is, if NDSU is chewing up clock on offense then VA cannot turn it into a track meet.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Big fumble for EWU.

[thebootfitter]

That fumble may be the game the way these two teams are trading scores. Can't afford to let a team get two scores ahead now.

[dudeitsaid]

Nooooooooo....

[Red & Black]

Yep, 2 TO's for EWU has been the difference in this game. Horrible timing.

Quit losing in the playoffs then. ;)

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Over a 1000 yards of offense already....xbowx

Announcers said UW is over 300 yards rushing

[thebootfitter]

And UW up 59-45. I don't think the Eags can pull it out now.

[thebootfitter]

Almost 350 yards on the ground for UW.

[Red & Black]

No doubt. That said, NDSU's gotta get there too and it's a long season.

They might not - but I bet they put up a hell of a fight these last 7 minutes

[thebootfitter]

Eastern is making mistakes now. UW just got an offsides penalty.

[thebootfitter]

Two sacks on that series.

[Red & Black]

Well, gunna have to go for it here I think.

where are you guys watching this one i can't find it on Dish. xconfusedx

[thebootfitter]

I'm at the game. UW actually playing some defense now.

[thebootfitter]

That play might make the top 10! Pass almost caught, but bobbled up, then almost intercepted but tipped, then caught by the receiver.

Big gain for Eags.

Now a 10 yard defensive holding call against UW.

[thebootfitter]

And a nice throw and catch for a score. 59-52 pending PAT.

[Red & Black]

Here comes the on-side kick. Where's Brandon Kaufman when you need him?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[thebootfitter]

If Eastern wants any shot here, they have to play good D and make a stop or force a turnover.

[thebootfitter]

Or onsides kick again.

[Bison56]

Time left?

[thebootfitter]

They've got to practice that more. Terrible onsides kick.

[SUPharmacist]

Why is Adams kicking it?

[thebootfitter]

Probably for his hands.

[thebootfitter]

2:22 left.

[SUPharmacist]

Probably for his hands.

I am sure you are right, but I would have stuck with the kicker.

[Bison56]

2:22 left.

Thanks

[SUPharmacist]

1st down UW with 2:16 left, should be ballgame.

[thebootfitter]

I am sure you are right, but I would have stuck with the kicker.
Oh, me too.

[thebootfitter]

Victory formation.... And done.

[SUPharmacist]

Impressive offensive showing for EWU, I can only imagine how good the team would be if they played defense the last few years.

When you think about it... How many teams with this type of offense have a good defense? You score in 2 minute then your defense is right back on the field. That is one of the things that help defenses of smash mouth teams.

[Red & Black]

Tough loss, but love how much character the team showed by coming back down 21-0 early.

what a game! What was the weight discrepancy by position on both sides of the ball?

[veinup]

great game. disappointing that eastern came back and fell just a bit short .. well played though, congrats eagles.

Great game... Except for the lack of defense from both teams. No doubt VA and company have big time playmaking skillz, but UW was definitely looking a bit sloppy and out of position on defense. Hopefully they can both clean up their defensive games a bit.

[Cleets]

This is the time to get UW
The Huskies have a freshman QB and a new coach with a completely new system on both sides of the ball
This will be a transition year for the UW Huskies - and they looked confused a lot
