I was looking to see if North Dakota played Eastern Washington last year (they didn't) and found myself looking at the statistics for the two games EWU lost a year ago. At perennial FCS power North Dakota State in the second game of the season, EWU lost 44-50 and lost the turnover battle by throwing 3 ints. In the playoffs against Youngstown State, EWU lost 40-38 and also lost the turnover battle, throwing 2 ints. For the season, EWU threw the ball 620 times and only had 14 ints. A great percentage. Good teams with prolific offenses also lose close games.
