Games against FCS opponents are supposed to be easy for power 5 teams.
But things haven’t exactly been smooth sailing for Mike Leach and the Cougars over the past couple of years. Back to back losses to FCS teams in 2015 and 2016 put an odd pall over two otherwise decent seasons.
In 2016, Eastern Washington was the team coming into Pullman to get the job done. And this Saturday, the Eagles make the trip south looking to pull off the upset once again.
But the 2018 Eagles are very different from the 2016 Eagles.
