FCS Championship Eastern Washington vs North Dakota State

[ilovethecats]

Surprised by the lack of faith in Eastern.... after Eastern’s bye week, they changed their offense to suit EB3 when it was confirmed Gubrud was done for the year. Since then, They have rallied off seven straight wins, six of them by 21+ points (including the CAA and southland champs). Eastern has a shot to win this...definitely underdogs but better than they are getting credit for.

as much as I like to knock ewu, for me the lack of credit for them isn't a lack of respect. they're a good team. but no where near the level of ndsu. they literally dominate all three phases of the game. I think they win by about 20 or so.

Only on eGriz

I know. it's bothersome over here when people talk about football. but it's actually pretty common on other boards for teams from different fanbases to talk about...you know....football.

eGriz is happy to host. "Other boards", hahaha!

I don't really care who wins this one. I guess I'd like to see it come down to a really controversial call, or see one team get completely screwed over by the officials start to finish. A huge brawl could be good. Something to make it interesting.

Are the meteors still an option ?

As long as nobody gets hurt, and neither team wins the game, I'm all in on a meteor. I'll catch the 10-second recap on Sportscenter in between full highlights of CBB games between unranked teams.

EWU total yards- 204

NDSU TOP- 43 minutes
NDSU first downs- 31

EWU TOP- 17 minutes
EWU first downs- 11

NDSU and EWU both brought back essentially the same teams....I guess this probably sums up why most think NDSU will win this game...

This is hilarious...same team..really? Ewu wasn’t very good last year, this year is entirely different...I sure hope your coach feels the same way you do...

Besides last year, a non playoff EWU team, the other two games went into OT, EWU win in OT in Cheney in 2010, NDSU won in OT 2 years ago in Fargo.

NDSU better be ready, Easterns offense will be better than any they’ve seen this year...

Except for the offense they face every day at practice....

 

[Herd]

For me, the deciding factor as to whether or not we have a close game is . . . Does the EWU QB evade the rush and make plays all day (or) does the NDSU defense get to him and hit him with regularity. That will decide if EWU stays in it.

Hey just saying why most feel the way they do.

I’m sure they will be. There are 24 seniors on this team who have gone 53-5 and have won 2 national championships.

759. To be fair to you, eGriz started in 2002, which was nine years before football was invented.

No matter what the outcome, I figure it will make history.

Ah yes, I remember it well, invented out on the wind-swept plains of eastern North Dakota...
