http://goeags.com/sports/m-footbl/2013- ... HSUPreview" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Eastern Washington University head coach Beau Baldwin doesn’t hide the fact there is a revenge factor at play this week, but he’s simply calling it human nature.
Baldwin’s second-ranked Eagles take on fourth-ranked Sam Houston State, the same team that ended their season a year ago at Roos Field in the semifinals of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs. Kickoff Saturday (Sept. 28) at Bowers Stadium in Huntsville, Texas, is 12:07 p.m. Pacific time in a game televised live on Comcast SportsNet Northwest.
The Eastern-Sam Houston State game is a rematch of last year’s 45-42 loss in the semifinals of the FCS Playoffs on Dec. 15, 2012, at Roos Field in Cheney, Wash. In that game, Eastern scored 42 second-half points to rally from a 35-0 deficit and nearly pull off the improbable comeback.
“There is a pride factor – no question,” said Baldwin. “There is a different feel to this game for us because of the tough loss we had to them in the semifinals. To Sam Houston State’s credit, they did a great job against us, they had a great team and they do again this year. We love getting another shot at them – it’s not a revenge factor but it is human nature for players to want to keep fighting back. And our players are no different.”
