I think on the western Carolina- Montana game, western Carolina kicked hot worm burners up the middle so that Junior Bergen wouldn’t take it to the house. It was highly effective. Most of the time a linebacker type up man takes it and falls on the ball.
Special teams (specifically punting and kickoff coverage needs addressing. Don’t they have a punter with a bigger leg? He’s ok with short directional punts but has sub-par distance.
Glad the curse is broken. Up by 3 scores with 5 minutes left and still biting my nails about a close game because in the past the Eagles found a way to just win in the 4th quarter. Vesperas is slippery for sure but not the way EB3 was. Thought it was interesting that Vesperas was bundled up ski wear while plenty on the sideline didn’t even have sweatshirts on. It was low 60s? If he’s cold now he ain’t gonna like late November in Cheney.
Yes. I live 2 hrs from Cheney but it's just a bit too far for a night game in October. I'll just wait patiently for their next Palouse game in Nov 2025. Tonight was a lot warmer than Thursday. The whole team would have been bundled up if they played two nights ago. They still have a trip to the state of Montana next month which gets even colder than here.
