CHENEY, Wash. – Eastern Washington football didn’t have the best season a year ago with a 4-8 record, but now they’re focused on 2025, working hard in Cheney halfway through spring practice.
EWU hasn’t won more than four games in a season since the 2021 year, suffering a rough stretch but hopeful for 2025 despite a young team.
Spring practice is the perfect time to iron out bigger issues early, plenty ahead of fall camp.
The Eags went 1-3 in one-score games, and head coach Aaron Best stressed execution as the key factor for the spring ball focus.
“We were probably 10-12 plays away from turning the record from 4-8 to 8-4, but that didn’t happen, we’re 4-8,” Best said. “We didn’t rise to the occasion in those pivotal moments. So that’s been kinda our agenda in the offseason is straining to execute, or straining with execution in all three phases, really. But it wasn’t for a lack of effort.”
Coach went on to say that the effort was commendable and present, but the lack of proper execution in big moments hurt the team.
Eastern has their first full open scrimmage this Friday back at Roos Field.
