[DefendtheRed]

The defense has got to find a way to make 2-3 stops today. Time to nutt up and play big boy football.

Excited to see our defense really contribute to the victory today. Eag's will have to play a complete game on both sides to notch the victory. 3-4 stops or TO's and creating 3rd and longs will put the pressure on the UNI offense to make plays... I like our chances in those situations.

im worried about them eating up the clock the whole game. we need to force that qb to beat us with some throws.

 

[luckyintheorder]

Jax st is beating auburn at half... 10 - 6. Jennings is playing well at QB and line play is physical.

 

[Hambone]

Shaq Hill is out. Didn't catch a timeframe for return.

Damnit. I was worried about that when he didn't return in the Oregon game. Hill, Curtis, Bruce...Kreifels. Who else?

 

[EWURanger]

NM, they just reiterated. Jalen Moore, high ankle sprain. hno:

 

[eaglesfootball]

"four fairly significant injuries."

 

[Hambone]

Sblendorio will start in place of Hill. Also, true Freshman Keenan WIlliams will be making his first start.

"four fairly significant injuries."

next man up, thankfully deep at WR. guess the freshman RB's will see some carries too. come on D.

 

[EWURanger]

Losing those guys hurts, but we have the depth. Hopefully Webster breaks out today, and I honestly though that true Freshman RB looked really good in the Oregon game.

Defense holds UNI to 350 yards total offense
D gets 4-5 stops and causes two pressure TO's and has 6 sacks
West throws for 350+ 4 TD's
Eags run for 170+ and 2 scores
Eags kick 2 FG's
Eag's take a knee to end game

Eags 48-31 over UNI..

not a great crowd for a home opener.

Just FYI I found this game on Dish 429 with the sports pack

 

[Seattle Eagle]

Wow, we're 0-5 in the Uni Dome? I guess I wasn't aware we've played them that many times.

 

[Seattle Eagle]

Eagles will kick. Not wild about today's uniforms.

 

[eaglesfootball]

good couple stops there. this is what we want.

 

[Seattle Eagle]

3 and out! Thought Ebukam might get a sack there.

 

[EWURanger]

Let's go!!

 

[EWURanger]

Just punt it away. No need for any craziness this early in the game.
