Solid win and no visable injuries I hope.

Solid win. No complaints. It looks like UC Davis is about to go down.

"Doesn’t seem like Talkington is ever able to move the offense." I think it's the situation or the play called. By now, it's probably a combination of his lack of experience and team experience playing with him too. I don't think he'll be the starter in '22. Nice kid. Go Eags!

I don't like to see players injured, and I like seeing EWU players called for targeting even less.

But I had a smug satisfaction from watching Eli Doyle lay the fuck out of that douchebag who tried running a shakedown on WSU and the Pac-12. A little Karmic retribution.

I love me some Eli Doyle, sad to see him taken out of the game. But that injury certainly couldn't have happened to a worse person. I mean Hitler, Stalin, Che Guevara, Idi Amin, sure... but we're splitting hairs here.

Best's post game comments:

On Opponents Realizing the Strength of Eastern Washington: "It's a testament to our coaches and our players who come in each and every week and work hard to get ready for their next opponent. Everybody wanted to know on Monday how we would react to a 7:30 p.m. game on national television and playing so well in a physical game. We had a few players dinged up in that game, but that's going to happen when you have two physical teams going at it. We traveled with who we had and played with who we had on that plane, and our guys came out victorious. To score 63 points in any setting, and only allowing 17, where 10 of those 17 were in the first half on short fields, we played really, really, really, good football today and were complimentary in all three phases. We also didn't punt until our second-to-last drive of the last quarter and anytime you do that, you're probably doing something right."

On Improvements to Make: "I can think of two things just off of the cusp from watching from the sideline. We have to develop a better running game. We knew it would be tough, their (Northern Colorado) front is bigger than most and they really test you to run the ball and rally to the ball. We also have to tackle a little bit better on defense in yards after contact. We gave up a little bit too much. You always have to find ways to get better. Our players are dialed in and our coaches are dialed in, and we played aggressive today. We called the game aggressive as coaches and we played aggressive too, so things like this come together."

On Being 1-0 on the Week: "Today was awesome. The weather, our equipment staff, our athletic trainers, everybody did their role to get this team ready for this game. It's the fourth time in six weeks that we've been on the road, and now we don't have to go on the road for a month. We are still in the 1-0 phase as we get ready to prepare for Idaho tomorrow. Our players played really well today and we're a different team than we were a month ago and we will continue to be different because the greatest teams get better near the end of the season."
