GAME NOTES
• The Mountaineers are riding a current three-game winning streak which includes victories over No. 22 Montana Western and No. 7 Southern Oregon. Last week against the Raiders, the EOU defense was stifling, forcing three turnovers and holding SOU to just one offensive touchdown in a 27-17 victory.
 
• EOU holds an all-time record of 283-465-14 (.375). 2018 marks the 73rd-consecutive season in program history. EOU did not compete between 1942-45 due to World War II.
 
• The last matchup between Eastern Oregon and Montana Tech was a turnover fest that featured nine total turnovers. EOU had a 14-0 halftime lead, but three second-half turnovers set up the Orediggers in good field position as they rolled off 17-straight points to end the game.
 
• The Mountaineers are 31-23 at Community Stadium all-time under Camp. EOU owned a 3-1 record at home last season and are  2-1 in 2018 with a victory over the College of Idaho and No. 22 Montana Western.
 
• The Mountaineers made their first trip to the NAIA Championships in 2016, reaching the semifinals.
 
• Since their week 2 matchup, Montana Tech has struggled to a 1-3 record in their last four games. The Orediggers fell to Montana Western 32-19 before dropping a close 23-20 game at home to the College of Idaho last weekend.
