During the winning streak, the Mountaineers have defeated No. 22 Montana Western and No. 7 Southern Oregon to jump up to No. 18 in the NAIA Top-25 rankings. EOU is 2-1 on the road this season.
 
• EOU holds an all-time record of 284-465-14 (.375). 2018 marks the 73rd-consecutive season in program history. EOU did not compete between 1942-45 due to World War II.
 
• The Mounties and Yotes met up in the season opener over two month ago, playing in La Grande for the grand opening of the EOU turf field. With the home crowd backing them, the Mountaineers came away with a 24-21 victory led by a strong defensive effort, limiting C of I to 295 yards.
 
• The Mountaineers are 33-27 on the road all-time under Camp. They went 7-1 as the visiting team in 2016, but were 1-4 on the road a year ago. This season, they have gone 2-1 with a most recent win over No. 7 Southern Oregon in Ashland.
 
• The Mountaineers made their first trip to the NAIA Championships in 2016, reaching the semifinals.
 
• After falling to Eastern Oregon in the season opener, the Yotes lost four-straight games to fall to 0-5 on the season. However, three of the losses were by seven or less points. Since then, C of I has won their last three games and are one of the hottest teams in the Frontier Conference.
