Eagles at Home: Keys to Beat Panthers | Spokane News

Eastern Washington is primed for a home showdown against Northern Iowa, riding a wave of early-season momentum and home-field advantage. After a gritty road loss to Northern Arizona, the Eagles return to Roos Field — where they dominated last year — to face a Panthers squad burdened by cross-country travel. Coach Aaron Best knows the stakes: two brutal road games lie ahead, so a win this weekend is non-negotiable. Defensively, EWU’s unit showed promise last week, now tasked with stopping Northern Iowa’s dual-threat QB. Special teams, shaky in the opener, look poised to rebound, while the offense aims to replicate its explosive start — and avoid the slow starts that plagued them last year.
