2024 Week 8: UC Davis (6-1) @ Eastern Washington (2-4) All these stats are Big Sky Conference only.
Eastern Washington’s offense is similarly productive to Davis’ but they are much more effective rushing averaging 5.9 yards a carry to Davis’s 3.7.
Eastern Washington had 286 net yards rushing against Sac State, and 263 against Montana. They average almost six yards a carry. Their two running backs are similar in size to Larison, both 6’ tall 217 and 212 lbs, Their running QB taylor is also 6’ 200+ lbs..On the Sac State broadcast they said the offensive line has over 200 starts. Stopping the run is going to be a challenge.
Both teams complete a high percentage of passes, but Eastern throws less than half as many for less yardage per attempt. Interesting that Davis trails only Montana State in yards per pass attempt, and Montana State throws only about a third as much.
