Two years ago, the Eastern Washington Eagles went into Pullman and delivered the Cougars their second loss to an FCS team in as many years. It featured future NFLers, defensive miscues and the perfect storm for an upset on the Palouse. They do it again this Saturday.
It was a game that produced 87 points, netted more than 1,100 yards of total offense and featured five wide receivers who’d go on to get shots to play professionally. (Three of those are still employed the NFL.) It was the birthplace of a legacy for one quarterback and the continuation of a legacy for the other.
