Eastern Washington is coming off of a 10-3 season in 2021 in which they made it to the second round of the FCS playoffs. The 2022 season will be the fifth year for head coach Best, who’s spent his entire career as a player, grad assistant, and coach at EWU since he enrolled there in 1996. But it’ll be the first season for new OC/QB coach Chapin, who comes over from Div-II Sioux Falls. The Eagles are also replacing almost all of their best offensive players from last season: longtime starting quarterback and Walter Payton winner Eric Barriere, near-thousand yard rusher Dennis Merritt, top two wideouts Andrew Boston and Talolo Limu-Jones, and Conner Crist, Matt Shook, and Tristen Taylor who were starters at center and both tackles.
