It went from “big” to perhaps “bigger.”
Although both teams are coming off losses and it’s a non-conference tilt, this week’s marquee match-up between seventh-ranked Eastern Washington and 16th-ranked Cal Poly at Roos Field in Cheney, Wash., will give the winner an inside track toward a berth in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs. The loser, however, starts to sweat.
Eastern lost its No. 1 ranking in FCS after a frustrating 30-27 loss at Southern Utah on Oct. 27, then later that day, the Mustangs were upended at Sacramento State 35-29. Eastern fell to 6-2 overall and 5-1 in the Big Sky with the loss, while Cal Poly suffered its first defeat of the season after seven-straight wins overall and five in the league.
“We just have to play sharper,” said Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin, whose team scored on five-straight possessions in the middle of the game, but was empty on its first four and last three. “We’ll be at home, and we just need to come out and start the game cleaner. We didn’t execute as well as we would have liked. That’s the challenge -- we are all up against that.”
As a result of last week’s losses by EWU and Cal Poly, 12th-ranked Northern Arizona controls its own destiny toward the Big Sky title, with league games remaining at Idaho State and home versus Southern Utah and Cal Poly. The Lumberjacks, who edged Northern Colorado 12-10 on the road last week, are now 7-1 overall and 5-0 in the league.
In last week’s loss, five key starters didn’t play because of injuries -- Zach Johnson (33 career starts), Andru Pulu (7), Jeff Minnerly (21), Zack Gehring (18) and Jordan Talley (9). Besides their 88 career starts, they have a combined total of 121 games played. Eastern has now lost a league game by three points, won a pair by three and came out on top in a pair of six-point victories, thus making the injuries a key factor in the fine line between victory and defeat in the Big Sky.
“It’s very close,” said Baldwin of the league race. “It’s been close all year and it will continue to be close all the way to the end. We have to find a way to do some things better during the week and respond to (the loss at Southern Utah).”

Very sad that the first weekend in November and one of these teams will be saddled with a two game losing streak.

Tell me about it...I invited Slostang to my tailgate this week only to find out SE had already invited him weeks ago.
I'd gladly offer you SE's ticket, but...
Hey, maybe that GATW fella will make an appearance. I can give him SE's/Grizza's former ticket!

It's a deal! Do you also have a medium Cal Poly shirt I could wear?

Joking aside, I probably will head down for this one, especially if my favorite wolf hater will be there.

Yeah, but I guarantee there will be plenty left to purchase on gameday, because we'll go over 8600.

Cal Poly wins this one.
EWU won't be able to jump on them early enough to take them out of the triple option and force them into passing.

Well they played Cal Poly last year in a amazing triple overtime contest...I believe the final was 53-51 EWU.
Winning that one would have been sweet but it was a hell of a game either way.
