Series: WOU leads 9-6-1
Last Meeting: EWU won 35-14 in 2009
Eastern is coming off a thrilling, 49-46 victory at Oregon State in the season opener for both teams. It was just the fourth time since the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (originally I-AA) was created in 1978 that a FCS team has defeated a ranked opponent from the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision.
Western Oregon, located just 21 miles from Corvallis where the Eagles upset the 25th-ranked Beavers, plays its season opener at EWU. The Wolves had a 6-5 record overall a year ago, and the member of the NCAA Division II Great Northwest Conference had a 6-4 league mark under veteran coach Arne Ferguson.
Eastern has played WOU four times since 2000 in non-conference affairs, with EWU winning all four by an average score of 42-12. Prior to those four meetings, Western Oregon was 9-2-1 in the first 12 games in the series, dating back to a 19-19 tie in 1931.
Like last week when the Eagles traveled to take on a Pac-12 foe, Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin knows his team needs to be ready for a huge effort by the Wolves. He saw it first-hand as an Eastern assistant in 2006 when his own alma mater, Central Washington, knocked off EWU 21-14.
“Whether it is game one, two or whenever it is, it is an opportunity,” said Baldwin. “For us to go to a Pac-12 stadium is an opportunity. I love the idea of a challenging schedule.
“That is not to say that playing teams like Western Oregon or Central Washington are not opportunities for us,” he continued. “They are opportunities, and they are going to look at it as an opportunity for themselves. Western Oregon is going to come in here guns a blazing, and they are a quality football team. We better be ready.”

This will probably be a huge blowout, but I'll be happy if EWU doesn't pull an MSU here....

I don't expect Baldwin will run up the score, but rather, if we can get a 2-3 TD lead early, use it as an opportunity to get some valuable playing experience for some of the under-classmen.

Schools are afraid to schedule them, so they need to pay DII's to come in. Lucky Montana State can't back-out of a conference game with EWU

Technically they could... this year and next year it's an OOC game; we weren't scheduled to play them.

Yep. FCS schools scheduling D-IIs should be ashamed of themselves.

Doesn't help when all the D-I schools west of Kansas all belong to one conference.

Your game against MSU this year is a conference game.

TD Eagles. Freshman Cooper Kupp with 3 TDs on the year barely into the second game. We don't rebuild, we reload.
