(STATS) -- Eastern Washington has powered its way into the quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs behind the divisions top passing attack.Richmond gladly welcomes the challenge of trying to contain superstars Gage Gubrud and Cooper Kupp.It will be strength against strength when the Eagles have the ball Saturday, as the 12th-ranked Spiders bring one of the best pass defenses in the FCS to third-ranked Eastern Washington.Much has been made of the Eagles dynamic passing game, and Central Arkansas thought it had a way to bottle it up in last weekends second-round matchup. It turns out, that strategy just prolonged the pain, as second-seeded Eastern Washington (11-1) rallied for a 31-14 victory.The Bears focused on taking away the deep ball and gave the Eagles the underneath, so Gubrud methodically marched his team down the field with short, easy passes. He attempted 64 throws -- the most by an EWU quarterback since 2011 -- and completed 47 to 11 receivers for 449 yards. He scrambled for 68 yards and scored on the ground for the Eagles, who were also buoyed by a defense that didnt allow a point in the second half, forced two turnovers and permitted a season-low 244 yards.Even though we didnt score as many points as weve been averaging, we found a way to win the turnover battle 2-0, coach Beau Baldwin said. When you take care of the ball in the playoffs and dont turn it over at all, and are able to get a couple, that leads to wins -- it flat out does.Richmond (10-3) is 10th in the FCS in turnover margin (plus-11) and brimming with confidence after rallying from 17 down in the final 16 minutes in last weekends thrilling 27-24 win at No. 8 North Dakota. Griffin Trau drilled an 18-yard field goal -- his FCS-leading 23rd -- as time expired to send the Spiders into the quarterfinals for the second consecutive season.I cant be more proud of this football team, Richmond coach Danny Rocco said. The toughness they put on display was phenomenal.Last Saturdays point total was a season low for the Eagles, who are third in the FCS in scoring at 43.1 per game. They are also second in total offense (541.7 per game) and first in passing yards (412.3) as they get set to match up with a Spiders team which ranks fifth against the pass (160.8).Richmond has allowed 13 passing touchdowns and opponents are averaging 6.39 yards per attempt.I dont know weve faced a defense thats as disciplined and plays as a team as well as they do, Baldwin said.The Spiders, however, have not seen an offense that airs it out as well as the Eagles.Gubrud leads the FCS with 4,535 passing yards, is second with 42 touchdowns, third in completion percentage at 68.7 and fifth in yards per pass at 8.98. The sophomore, who also leads the FCS in total offense with 5,066 yards, has the luxury of throwing to one of the most decorated receivers in FCS history.Kupps 101 receptions are the second-most in the FCS while his 126.5 receiving yards per game rank first. He owns 15 FCS receiving records, including career receptions (412), receiving yards (6,156) and touchdown catches (70). Last seasons STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year is one of the top three in the voting for the 2016 STATS FCS Walter Payton Award along with Gubrud.The two were also both named the Big Skys Offensive Player of the Year -- the first time two players from the same school won that award.Fellow senior receivers Shaq Hill (1,077) and Kendrick Bourne (1,056) have also each topped the 1,000-yard mark and have combined for 21 receiving touchdowns, presenting further matchup problems for the Spiders.Their wide receiving corps is probably as talented as any weve seen, Rocco said.The Spiders have a pretty great receiver of their own in Brian Brown. The first-team All-CAA selection is second in the FCS in receiving yards with 1,441 and averages 18.7 per reception.Deontez Thompson shoulders the ground game, having set a Richmond freshman-record with 927 rushing yards.While Gubrud threw the ball 64 times last week, Richmonds Kevin Johnson has attempted 52 passes in his entire career.The Spiders had been sitting Johnson this season but removed the redshirt after All-CAA second-team selection Kyle Lauletta suffered an ACL tear in the regular-season finale. Johnson has exceeded all expectations as an emergency fill-in, completing 30 of 45 passes for 604 yards with three touchdowns and running in another two scores in the two playoff games.Laulettas season-ending injury is one of 18 Richmond has had to overcome this year. The team has also put aside the rumors Rocco is unhappy with the administration and is going to take the Delaware job.Theyve obviously gone through a lot of injuries, but to be where they are now, still, its a testament to the team that they are, Kupp said.This will be the first meeting between these programs, and the winner faces either No. 13 Youngstown State or 19th-ranked Wofford in the semifinals. Jedd Gyorko Jersey . Miller reached right to deflect Mikhail Grabovskis attempt with just over 2 minutes remaining in regulation, and then made two more saves in the shootout Sunday to give the Sabres a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals. Roger Maris Jersey . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover. http://www.wholesalestlouiscardinalsjerseys.com/dexter-fowler-jersey/ . The winner Saturday will remain in the elite 10-team field next year. "We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. Wholesale Cardinals Jerseys . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. Orlando Cepeda Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is keeping his schedule clear for the first week of February.The confident 24 year old has a hunch that he might need to go on a business trip during that time.Were really looking forward to Feb. 5 in Houston, Beckham said to ESPN this week. Thats the goal, obviously. I feel real confident in this team. This defense is a Super Bowl defense. The offense, were working to get better each and every day.All of that could spell bad news for the Chicago Bears this weekend when the teams meet at MetLife Stadium.The Giants (6-3) have won four games in a row -- with each victory coming by single digits -- and are aiming for their first five-game winning streak since 2011. Under first-year coach Ben McAdoo, the team is 4-1 at home and already has matched its six-win total from a season ago.The outlook is not nearly as bright for the reeling Bears (2-7). Chicago has dropped four of its past five games and is 0-5 on the road this season as the team prepares to head east.To make matters worse, the Bears will not have two of their best players on offense. Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long was placed on injured reserve this week after being carted off the field with a right ankle injury against Tampa Bay, and Pro Bowl wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will serve the first game of a four-game suspension for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substances.Even at full strength, the Giants defense would have been a tough test for Chicago.The Giants have a top-10 rushing defense (92.1 yards allowed per game) and have held opponents to 20.4 points per game, which is No. 11 in the league.Second-year safety Landon Collins has emerged as the best player on a strong defensive unit. Collins has racked up four interceptions, three sacks and 74 tackles in his first nine games of the season.On paper, the Bears offense does not match up well against the Giants defense. Chicago has managed only 15.7 points per game, which is second-to-last in the NFL. Meanwhile, mercurial quarterback Jay Cutler is coming off his worst outing of the season as he threw two interceptions and fumbled twice against the Buccaneers.Rookie running back Jordan Howard dinged up an ankle in Week 10 but returned to practice this week.ddddddddddddIf Howard regresses, look for the tandem of Jeremy Langford and KaDeem Carey to carry the ball for the Bears.But who will catch Cutlers passes -- assuming they are on target?With Jeffery suspended and Kevin White on injured reserve, the top receiving option for the Bears is tight end Zach Miller (44 receptions, 425 yards, 3 TDs). Meanwhile, wide receivers Cam Meredith and Marquess Wilson likely will see more action on the outside.Meredith, 23, joined the team in 2015 as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois State. The 6-foot-3, 207-pound flanker has impressed head coach John Fox this season as he has caught 29 passes for 381 yards and two touchdowns.Hes got good length, Fox said. He has a good feel for pass coverage as far as getting on a (defensive backs) feet, the kind of things it takes to get open. Hes a young guy that continues to work very hard to improve, and hes getting rewarded for that with playing time.When the Giants have the ball, look for Beckham to stretch the field and try to create havoc against the Bears young secondary. Beckham leads New York with 54 catches for 773 yards and six touchdowns, including three scores in his past two games.Giants quarterback Eli Manning has benefited from Beckhams brilliance, but the 35 year old also has made some careless mistakes in recent weeks. He has thrown two interceptions in three of his last four games.In the backfield, Giants running back Rashad Jennings is averaging only 3.2 yards per carry. However, Jennings showed flashes last week as he rushed 15 times for 87 yards (5.8 yards per carry) in a win over Cincinnati.So could the Giants be a Super Bowl squad? Maybe, maybe not.But the coach does not mind his star players public confidence.Thats our goal, McAdoo said. Thats why we come to work every day. We want to make sure we get here and put our work in, put our time in.But we have a lot of work to do until we get to that point. Its good to have aspirations.
