Jordan Hunt

@SOURaiders

With less than a couple weeks to go before conference play begins, the Raiders are heating up. They upset #12 Westmont this weekend and also beat Menlo to earn the Cascade Conference Team of the Week honor.

You can watch them against the Beavers on Monday night (11/28/16) on Pac-12 Oregon at 6:00 p.m. Live Stream at pac-12.com or on the Pac-12 Now app.

EOU becomes favorite to make trip to Daytona

Zach Bartlow was the Offensive Player of the Game

On a day when Montana Tech was without their two biggest offensive threats (due to injuries incurred in previous games), Eastern Oregon University came through for the Frontier Conference without generating an offensive touchdown. This could mark the third year in a row in which a Frontier Conference team makes the national championship game without winning the Frontier Conference. Why is it, again, that the coaches see fit to send only two Frontier Conference teams to the playoffs?

Marian was ranked #1 all season long. Yet they are now 1-3 versus Frontier Conference teams. Massey has Marian at #4 after yesterday’s loss, just two positions ahead of Montana Western, a team the coaches didn’t think should be in the playoffs. Marian’s conference had two teams in the coaches’ top 5 all season long while the Frontier Conference never had more than one team in the top 8. Hmmmmmm….

Up next for EOU is Baker on the road. Massey has EOU as a 70% favorite. Massey has Baker just two spots ahead of Southern Oregon University, another team not in the playoffs even though Baker got home field throughout (while playing no one in Massey’s top 11 and only one team in Massey’s top 20).

Eastern Oregon over Marian at the half

It isn’t often that I find myself cheering for Eastern Oregon. Although Massey gave EOU only a 7% chance of victory today, and Massey predicted 41 points for Marian, the score at halftime is EOU 10 and Marian 0. Eastern’s offense hasn’t done anything. The touchdown came via a pick 6.

Maybe the Frontier Conference is even stronger than Massey thought…
