"the best player on the football field"

Other than the last play of the game, Mitchell was by far the best player on the football field the entire game. He set career highs with 39 completions and and 473 passing yards. He ended the game with three touchdowns, two interceptions and compiled a quarterback rating of 124.5.

Until the last play of the game, Mitchell highlighted a noticeably weak Husky secondary. Eastern's spread offense simply could not be stopped the entire game. The Eagles only managed 31 yards rushing the entire game.

The Huskies wouldn't have won the game without their kicker, Erik Folk. Folk converted was three for three, converting from 40, 47 and 54 yards.

yet the game ends when Bo Levi throws an interception on a fade route in the endzone. Sound familiar?

Funny, he lost to a Wash team on a last minute INT in the endzone trying to win it, on two diff teams.

Bo Levi and his Eagles

Went to the UW - EWU game yesterday and saw the Gunslinger and his FCS champion Eagles. The Huskies got their money's worth in their first ever game against a non-FBS team, but fortunatelyl won 30-27. I'm sure that EWU can beat a lot of lower FBS schools. Mitchell put up 478 yards in the air (they couldn't run the ball). He was dead on for the 5-10 yard passes, which was why they were able to move the ball so much. Good thing for the Huskies, he was wildly inaccurate on any pass greater than 20 yards, many of which he deposited well beyond the sidelines.

Are you kidding? Bo Levi was spectacular. Like a surgeon dissecting the Huskies. Let them within a fg of a tie game and overtime in the waning seconds from the 30 but went for the win and had his good 6'5' receiver outhustled for the ball in the end zone by a much-smaller db who had been torched for most of the game. Heismann-like performance.

I'm just hoping all the JJ recruited quarterbacks are Heisman-like performers.

He was fantastic, but don't over-dramaticize. :wink: It was 2nd down and there were 35 seconds left when the interception happened at the end. It's not like they wouldn't have settled for the FG. BTW the CB who had been 'torched' is Desmond Trufant, the younger brother of Marcus who plays for the Seahawks and went to WSU.

More like a Walter Payton Award-like performance, he'll probably end up being a finalist for that honor.

Didn't he lead his team to a national championship last year?
