No. 21 Montana Grizzlies (2-2, 0-1 Big Sky) at No. 7 Eastern Washington Eagles (2-1, 1-0), 7:05 p.m.

Series record: Montana leads, 26-11-1

Last meeting: Montana 17, Eastern Washington 14 (Sept. 17, 2011)

What to know: In terms of each team's games last week, it was truly a tale of two completely different halves. Montana started out great, but ended poorly and lost, while Eastern Washington lead 20-3 at halftime and hung on for a close win.

The Grizzlies jumped out to a an early 24-14 lead versus Northern Arizona, only to see the visitors bounce back in the second half on the shoulders of running back Zach Bauman. The Lumberjacks spoiled a 19-game Homecoming game win streak and snapped its own 14-game losing streak versus UM.

EWU's quarterback competition proved to be what coach Beau Baldwin called "more of a battle than people think." Redshirt freshman quarterback Vernon Adams made his first start of the year and played decently, but dealt with cramps, so the Eagles went with the expected starter, Kyle Padron, in the second half.

Eastern needed a sack and forced fumble by Jerry Ceja and s fumble recovery by Will Katoa at the 50-yard line with 34 seconds remaining to clinch the 32-26 win over Weber State.

This is the 11th time in the last 17 years in which both teams are ranked in the Top 25 and it marks the latest home opener for the Eagles since 1981.

It's a prime-time pivotal Big Sky Conference matchup between two of the FCS' best running and passing teams. Both schools could use a complete game on both sides of the ball, so this one could come down to turnovers.

Prediction: Montana 24, Eastern Wasington 21
