DAVIS, Calif. — Eastern Washington got back to .500 on the season with a 27-24 upset of No. 15 UC Davis on the road.
The Eags came out of the gates hot taking a 17-3 lead in the 2nd quarter after a pick-six by redshirt senior cornerback Marlon Jones Jr. and a four yard touchdown run by junior running back Justice Jackson.
However, UC Davis would make a comeback and take a 24-20 lead over the Eags in the third quarter.
Eastern Washington would respond with a fake reverse that Michael Wortham would wind up finding the end zone for a 27-24 lead.
UC Davis would have time left and drive down the field to set up a 31-yard field goal attempt to tie the game, but the Eags special teams unit would come up with a block to clinch the win.
The Eags improved to 2-2 on the season and will now look towards a No. 7 Idaho team that is coming off a win over No. 4 Sacramento State. The Eags and Vandals will kickoff at Roos Field on Saturday, September 30th at 1 p.m.
