EWU is better than a lot of people give them credit for. They took Fresno State to 2OT on the road after Fresno had beaten Purdue on the road and then they had 530 yards in their impressive win over SE Louisiana. That said, the Aggie defense held them to 319 yards and the Aggie offense gained 435 yards. However, the Aggies shot themselves in the foot with 2 early TO's giving EWU 2 very short field opportunities leading to 10 points. The Aggies have had trouble with TO's this year and the 3 last night cost them the game.

Unfortunately, the Aggies have had a lot of early season injuries also and two more starters went down last night. We have now lost our first 2 RB's including Lan Larison who had 256 yards in 22 carries before he went out of the game with a right knee injury late in the third quarter. He was on pace to break the Aggie, all-time, single game rushing record of 301 yards before he was injured. We are a middle of the pack Big Sky team now considering all the injuries we have and our inability to take care of the ball.
Great comments. I was really impressed with the fan turnout for the Aggies. And, I personally believe that had Larison not been injured, you guys would've won. EWU had no answer for him. He was a dominating force. Hope he's ok, he's a baller!
