University of Montana VS Eastern Washington University 2010 Highlights

Griz drop wild Big Sky opener in Cheney 27-36
by: Fritz Neighbor


CHENEY, Wash. - The Montana Grizzlies tried to pull the red rug out from under Eastern Washington on Saturday, but the fired-up, ball-hawking, hard-running Eagles weren't having it.

Especially Taiwan Jones.

Jones ran for a career-best 221 yards and a touchdown in No. 18 Eastern's 36-27 win over the Grizzlies in front of a record crowd at red-carpeted Roos Field. The junior's 72-yard touchdown brought the Eagles back from an early 14-0 deficit, and his running keyed a late drive to a Mike Jarrett field goal, putting the Eagles up 30-27 with 4 seconds left.

@LaPersonaNonGrata you realize EWU won the national championship that year right? I'm sure that Montana this year is in the playoffs....so...you're an idiot to be put simply

[MrZachAT]

i was at this game... probably one of the best college football games I've ever been too! and i have been too a lot! it was so awesome rushing the field!

[LaPersonaNonGrata]

The music is great, but both these teams suck !

[reeds002]

I got to play on that field this summer!:D

[BroncoNation25]

I was at the game. i stormed the field when 98 scored. The red turf is so nice.

[scarletrobin]

@2:44 is the dumbest punt returner ever

[payton6600]

now you really cant see these players.

[ghetto300]

Thanks to EWU, they've inspired Central Arkansas to get a purple and grey field. It looks nice!

[cshizzle53]

So Boise made theirs blue and Eastern washington made theirs red huh?

Somebody should makes theirs gre-- Oh wait...

You people calling it cheating do realize that you can still see the players on the field when you're on the field, right? The difference isn't in camouflage. The difference is in the confidence. EWU played with the confidence that that turf would help them win. If you had taken their confidence that day and made them play that game on a green field, they would have still won. At the end of the day, it comes down to who played with the most heart, determination and desire. Go Griz.
