PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) Gage Gubrud threw for 474 yards and five touchdowns as FCS Eastern Washington upset Washington State 45-42 on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.
Washington State, which lost to Portland State of the Football Championship Subdivision in its opening game last year, could not stop the Eastern Washington offense, which produced 610 yards.
Eastern Washington, which came in as three-touchdown underdogs, also upset Oregon State of the Pac-12 three years ago.
Gubrud, making his first start, completed 34 of 40 passes and was intercepted once. He also ran for a touchdown to ice the game.
