Since Dback is late with the match up threads, I'm jumping in...
Couple of starters:
No one suiting up for Eastern this week has ever lost to the Griz (possible jinx of the century but I know that one hurts so it had to be said )
I'm guessing we'll see both of Eastern's QB's play.
Call it a quarterback controversy, if you will. Beau Baldwin doesn’t see it that way.
The way Eastern Washington’s coach views it, little has changed since early September, when Jordan West got the start and freshman backup Reilly Hennessey saw the field at Oregon and Northern Iowa.
West brought more experience and Hennessey brought more mobility. Both could move the chains.
So what’s changed? Only the circumstances, the most important being Eastern’s uncertain playoff situation following Saturday’s 52-30 home loss to Northern Arizona. Their six-game winning streak snapped, the 6-3 Eagles are still one – perhaps two – victories away from securing their accustomed spot in the postseason.
So which quarterback offers the best chance of beating Montana and Portland State, both of whom are vying for playoff spots themselves?
Is it West, who earlier this season was the most efficient passer in the Football Championship Subdivision, but has struggled lately? Or is it Hennessey, who showed poise under fire at Oregon and Northern Iowa, but missed several weeks with an ankle injury in the latter game and hasn’t seen much playing time since?
Asked that question Monday night, Baldwin could only offer some advice to the Grizzlies: “If I were Montana right now, I’d be preparing for two quarterbacks,” he said.
Then Baldwin brought down the house during his weekly show at Northern Quest: “If I were Montana, I’d try to get an ear in here and try to figure out what’s going on – but none of you guys are going to know what’s going on either.”

All those wins were with Adams at QB, though. Baldwin was just 1-3 against the Griz pre-Adams.
The thing is...Montana obviously has the superior program over time. It's just a matter of time before the universe becomes aligned again and Montana resumes dominating Eastern Washington. For Eastern Washington fans: Enjoy your moment in the sun. Over the long term there's no way your program is at the level Montana's is.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star? Deep Purple: No One Came

There's no reason it should even be competitive...

Same with McNeese...
McNeese over time is clearly the top program in the Southland. But not to the extent that Montana is over time clearly the top program in the Big Sky.

He probably went straight to the battered Eagles shelter.

That'll be enough out of you two. I was traveling with 83 year old grandma, two kids, and a wife. You only had Titleist to look after.
At least I was IN Missoula, unlike GATW.
