Game day bump!

 

[Hambone]

Is there a stream available for this game? ESPN3?

No ESPN3, if you can't get to somewhere that carries Root Sports Northwest, you'll have to listen on the radio.

Thanks, looks like it might be the radio for me today.

Listening to the pregame it sounds like we're doing a little better on the injury front, but Larry mentioned Zachary Johnson might start. He's played really well lately.

 

[EWURanger]

Damnit, Jalen Moore is out with the flu.

 

[InferNoMercy]

Props to ROOT that was a sweet intro to the game. Let Go Eags!

 

[tomq04]

Any list of the starters available?

 

[Hambone]

Damn.

 

[eaglesfootball]

All of West's throws look really off so far.

 

[DefendtheRed]

Not a good start. West NEEDS to make those throws.

 

[EWURanger]

NAU has done a good job keeping the running game bottled up.

 

[InferNoMercy]

here we go!!!

 

[DefendtheRed]

Two absolute gifts and the offense can't do anything with it. How does a 6'4 QB have two passes in a row deflected?

right now he's telegraphing every throw, he needs to do a better job with that.

 

[EWURanger]

Ok, well. Here we go defense.

 

[HannahO]

That dome is pretty awful even after the upgrades.

"Sleepy crowd" is right!

 

[EWURanger]

Tevin McDonald is playing on another level right now. :shock:

 

[eaglesfootball]
