NOTES
CHENEY, Wash. – Idaho football makes the quick trip north to take on No. 9 Eastern Washington on Saturday, April 10 at 1 p.m., as the 2021 Spring Season, presented by Famous Idaho Potatoes, continues. It will be the second meeting with the Eagles this year, with the Vandals taking the opening-week win, 28-21.
ABOUT IDAHO: The Vandals (2-2, 2-2) fell at Idaho State on Saturday, 24-22, in the annual Idaho Central Credit Union Battle of the Domes. ISU jumped out to a quick 14-0 advantage that proved to be too much to overcome. The Vandals struggled to get going offensively but found success on the ground to the tune of 151 yards on the ground.
ABOUT EASTERN WASHINGTON: The Eagles (4-1, 4-1) have won four straight since falling to the Vandals in the season-opener. Last time out, EWU took down UC Davis, 32-22, in California. Quarterback Eric Barriere was exceptional again, earning ROOT Sports Big Sky Offensive Player of the Week after going 30-of-41 for 393 yards and three touchdowns. He added 43 yards on the ground.
COFFEY BREAK: Senior
Cade Coffey had a game for the ages against Idaho State. He went 3-of-3 on field goals, including tying his career-long with a 46-yarder to close out the first half and make it a one score game. Coffey also punted eight times, averaging better than 50 yards per, including a season-long 66-yarder. Coffey also drained his only point after attempt, and did kickoffs.
TRE IS BACK: Tre Walker led the Vandals with 13 tackles in his return to action. He now averages 15.7 tackles per game, the most in the Big Sky. The next closest defensive player, Cal Poly's Matt Shotwell, is in second after averaging 11.3 tackles per game this season.
TOP WIDEOUT: Hayden Hatten has cemented himself as one of the top receivers in the Big Sky Conference. He currently leads the Big Sky with 8.8 receptions per game and is third with 115.5 yards per game. Both marks are also good enough to put Hadden in the top-five in the nation.
