Extremely weird game. EWU played TT pretty good for the first quarter and a half. They probably would have led TT had the receivers not dropped everything hitting their hands and put a little more effort in the 50/50 balls. After that, for the next quarter and half, TT kept capitalizing on huge plays that makes one wonder if EWU was even trying. For the fourth quarter, the game was in mercy cruise control.
I feel there is still a lot of talent on EWU's squad. Maybe not to the extent of last year's receiving corp, but enough to not look at the score of the TT game and think this will be a walk in the park. NDSU needs to keep punching these guys in the mouth on offense and defense (and special teams) until the final whistle. I expect EWU to bring a fight to this game and try not to lose their third straight game.
Stay focus and stay hungry Bison!
Gameday ramblings:
- good post by CM, read similar comments over on the Eastern Washington Forum about the WR corp and the overall team effort problems .
Perhaps the Eagles were looking ahead to the Bison and overlooked TT......:)
But still think Eastern is much better than they showed last week.
- I believe record attendance is 11,702 at Roos Field. Can this be topped?
Can how well the Bison travel overcome EWU's students not being in school yet?
- Where does the pass rush come from? With Menard and DeLuca (probably) out, who steps up? Watching Caleb Butler for this. Am hoping he can be the guy who can get upfield in a hurry now that he knows the D needs him to do this. Can he mimic Menard and his low-shoulder around the edge move? And the bull rush? Kolpack reports that true FR DE McCormick will get about 10 plays. Am guessing those will be in passing situations as well.
- Josh Hayes playing as a true FR adds to the CB depth. Lots of choices for who plays the slot positions against EWU's multi-receiver sets. Am guessing Hayes is the 5th CB, passing RFR Felix Dixon on the depth chart.
- What identity do the Eagles go for this week? A balanced offense like they tried last week? Or do they revert to their normal air-raid ways. The new coaching staff had put an emphasis on more power-run during the off-season. How long do they stick with that?
- Finally, can the 1st place Big Sky team beat the last-place Missouri Valley team?
Am going into enemy territory today at the Little Ralph, so could have some fun with teh hockies fans on this......:)

Hey, I know this doesn't matter a whole lot, but did we move from #1 to #2 after last weekend?

Nope #2 this whole time. Rightfully so unless JMU trips up.

Thought I saw a preseason poll that had us at #1 but that must have been the AGS poll or coaches poll.
