You can say what you want about Eastern Washington's red field, but at least it's better than Central Arkansas's purple & gray candy cane. Anyway… the last time the Bears faced a high-octane passing attack on the road, they got killed. I don't think this one will end up that ugly, but EWU's still gotta be a pretty strong favorite.

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

• • • Quarterbacks -- Eastern Washington
      
      Running Backs - Central Arkansas
      
      Receivers/TEs - Eastern Washington
      
      Offensive Line - Eastern Washington
      
      
      Defensive Line - Central Arkansas
      
      Linebackers --- Central Arkansas
      
      Secondary ---- (push)
      
      
      Kicking ------ (push)
      
      Punting ------ Central Arkansas
      
      Return Teams - Eastern Washington
      
      Kickoffs ------ (push)
      
      
      
      
      
      • Central Arkansas 27-45 Eastern Washington

14-0 Bears; mid-2Q

Now 21-14 EWU at the half. The Eags got lucky on a fake field goal because the UCA defender inexplicably decided to let go of the receiver, letting him get the first down.

Surprisingly sleepy game, but it looks like EWU's gonna move on. They're up 24-14 with ≈2:30 to go and they have the ball in the redzone.

Eagles win 31-14.
