Eastern Washington Eagles Scouting Report

I don't know if anyone can really tell how good or bad Eastern and UM are. UM has played 3 cupcake games, and Eastern played two teams that would dominate most everyone in the FCS (except JMU) and an overrated Fordham team.

You serious? #6 Washington was no cupcake.

I think that's a generalization...2 being the cupcake-or and the other 1 being the cupcake-ee :lol:

I think marceagan5 was accounting for the scale of “cupcakedness” because Savannah State and Valpo are so bad (Sagarin rankings of 248 and 250 out of 254 teams), he added the third cupcake team to your schedule.

I don't see either team scoring 40 points, at least without OT points. If UM wins, then they can't give up 40 points. A win will have to include a strong defensive performance by the Griz, and not giving up close to 40 points. I'm not sure the Griz offense can score 40 points against EWU. I still think the Griz have a good chance of winning. This is based on EWU not being nearly as good as it was, near coach, new receivers, etc., and the Griz having good potential on both sides of the ball and a talented new qb who will be more than credible.

Before Phillips went down, I was fairly confident the Griz would win. EWU played better against Fordham than I thought they would, except for the 5 turnovers. Perhaps Fordham isn't as good as I thought they were.

My take. O-line has been playing well, and 1st team line has given up only 1 sack this season. Lee is running well and adding good dept. Hopefully, he has cleaned up his pass blocking after his mistakes at UW. I hope the d-line can apply some pressure, but I assume we'll bring some heat too. The d-line, and backers, have been stopping the run. Think secondary has been getting its act together and the return of Strong helps. There is some depth in the secondary now too. The return of Strahm helps. The receivers are good and deep, but they needs to catch all balls. ST have stepped it up this year. Kupp and Bourne are gone.

Jensen needs to avoid mistakes, but while he is not Phillips, I am hoping he will play well and will improve quickly over the season. My impression is that the kid has a lot of confidence, to go with his smarts and physical abilities. Good luck to him in particular.

UM held EWU to 7 short drives last year, but gave up 5 big plays, of which 4 were TD's--or something like that. Drives of 19, 4, 3, 14 (in 40 of first 6 drives), the 3 TD's in a row, and then drives of 0, 21 and 13 and a pick after a longer drive. EWU's 5 TD's were on drives with 2,5, 8, 7 and 4 plays. Obviously, UM can't give up a bunch of big plays.

Well said. Although I do think the Griz can score 40 on this version of the EWU D. Agree with all the rest tho.

The EWU defense has improved under their new DC.
Click to expand...

Yea they looked great vs NDSU
Click to expand...

Improved does not = great. Again, improved. I'm happy to take bets on whether UM can score over 48.

Actually, I think Marc, and you, are idiots and trolls. You obviously can't read or write if you think "played 3 cupcake games" means 2 cupcake games and one incredibly hard game.

Haha, I have nothing but respect for the Griz and their program. I do think the Griz have played 3 cupcake games, you just were the cupcake in one of them...

You didn't say UM played in 3 cupcake games. You said it played 3 cupcake games. It did not. I don't think I have ever dissed EWU for being a weak academic school, but I may have to re-evaluate.

Thus the term “game” instead of “team”, I would consider all 3 games UM played in to date cupcake games, UM was just the cupcake in one of them.

But...I’m not here to dis the Griz, you guys have a great program, and it should be a great game Saturday. I’ve always had a great experience at WA Griz, wish I could be there tomorrow

What still scares me is our secondary. We still seem out of position and receivers being wide open. That needs to consistently change. If we play tight D and have pressure on the QB we should come away with several picks and a double digit winning margin.

38-24 Griz

I gotta say you sure are an optimistic bunch. I think Vegas odds has EWU by 11, you're stating a backup QB, but what the hell.
Click to expand...

Says the 0-2 team fan who predicts MSU to blow out UND on the road. I think Vegas has UND by 7, your QB can't pass but what the hell.
Click to expand...

Ok, so in addition to being overly optimistic you guys also make shit up, and apparently don't follow any other games in the Big Sky. Who predicted an MSU blowout at UND? I haven't seen that and definitely don't think that's going to happen. As for the MSU QB, pssssst - he passed for 301 yards and FOUR TDs against SDSU. Let me guess - you're probably one of those fans that thinks the griz has more MT players on the roster than MSU?
 
the eags get a pick 6 to start the scoring.....the games goes back forth with a showdown and
photo finish in the 4th........should be a very good and close game. looking forward being
there to see it. go griz

...yeah, I hate those kind of guys. Damned near as pathetic as the type of guy with 2,700 posts on a "rivals" message board.
