Incarnate Word just beat Sunbelt member Texas State, outscoring them 42-34. Coupled with the MSU performance in Miami, our admitted deficiencies look less severe this evening.
How did Eastern Washington beat Washington? They are the same old EWU team that we have come to know and love: sophisticated, prolific passing game and little defense. They were leading WIU 62-28 in the third quarter and decided to take the rest of the game off. Final was 62-56. I am glad that they did that. It will remove any chance we had of being overconfident next week.
I watched the first half of that game. Western Illinois has the worst FCS pass defense that I have ever seen. If we can not demonstrate at least some signs of a down-field pass game next Saturday, it is hopeless.
