CHENEY, Wash. (AP) — Nate Bell threw two touchdown passes to Miles Williams and Eastern Washington beat Idaho 21-14 on Saturday night.
Bell had a 9-yard touchdown toss to Williams with 44 seconds left in the first half for a 13-7 lead. It came three plays after an 18-yard punt by Cameron Pope gave Eastern Washington (3-4, 2-1 Big Sky Conference) the ball on the Vandals’ 32-yard line.
After a scoreless third quarter, Bell and Williams connected again for a 6-yard score and a 2-point pass by receiver Jaxon Branch was successful for a 21-7 advantage just 48 seconds into the fourth.
Nick Josifek covered half on an 80-yard drive with a 40-yard touchdown pass to Michael Graves to get Idaho (2-5, 0-3) within 21-14 with 2:30 left to play.
The Vandals got the ball back despite a failed onside kick but it came at their own 4 with 21 seconds remaining. The game ended on an illegal forward pass at the Idaho 26.
Jack Wagner connected with Marquawn McCraney for a 26-yard touchdown with 1:11 left in the first quarter and Idaho took a 7-3 lead.
Soren McKee kicked his second field goal — a 39-yarder — with 1:31 left in the second quarter to get Eastern Washington within a point.
Bell completed 18 of 31 passes for 177 yards with an interception and rushed for 134 yards on 23 carries.
Nosifek totaled 104 yards on 6-for-13 passing and Wagner completed 8 of 12 for 87 yards with an interception for Idaho, which has lost four straight. McCraney had seven receptions for 105 yards.
