Haha, nice one guys on the Davis band, so glad you all had the fund raising to send them, that is awesome. Should be a really competitive game. EWU scored 45 in the 2nd half of the Portland state game and 42 against a Nicholls team that would probably roll DAVIS, so yes I’m pretty confident in the 3 non starters, who have played all season for EWU. So to answer your question, it’s a non factor. Lastly, it’s the elite 8 now, so all teams are good and belong there. Must play your best ball to win on both sides of the ball. WIN OR GO HOME!,

I love your guys enthusiasam about hosting Maine in the semi’s next week, but it still has to go through EWU this weekend, and your band can’t play the game for them. Remember: 59-20. Good luck!

EWU poster here, As far as the Portland State goes and the thought of running up the score!
Yes, EWU won like 74-23. Something you all didn’t see in the post game stats was EWU only had the ball on offense for 17:55 of the 60 minutes of the game on OFFENSE. They scored 5 TD’s on possessions of 65 seconds or less. Our kicker was injured for the game, so they went for 2 on most TD conversions. With the lopsided score, in a rival game, PSU was still doing onside kicks and calling timeouts in the 4th, while EWU was only running the ball. 3 of the runs went for TDS with the 3rd and 4th string RBs. So Coach Best was not trying to run up the score. It was just the players being players. Also, the injuries to our players in that game came before the half with the score at 27-13.
