Eastern Washington fell to Montana on Saturday in one of the most brutal ways to ever lose a college football game.
The Eagles lost to the host Grizzlies 29-24 on a fumbled spike attempt by quarterback Jake Schakel in the red zone as time expired. The stunning late-game miscue dropped Eastern Washington to 4-6 overall and 3-3 in the Big Sky.
Meanwhile, Montana remains undefeated at 10-0 overall and 6-0 in the Big Sky. Montana is battling with Montana State, who is also undefeated in conference play, for the top spot in the Big Sky.

— RedditCFB (@RedditCFB) November 8, 2025It was a wildly up-and-down performance from the freshman quarterback, who completed 43 of his 63 passes for 451 yards and 2 touchdowns but also had 2 interceptions and that game-deciding mistake on the final play.
The Washington native came out of high school as the No. 24 in-state prospect and No. 94 quarterback in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite. Schakel held offers from FBS programs such as Colorado State, California, Florida Atlantic, and Nevada.
Eastern Washington will attempt to recover from this horrific loss as it takes on visiting Northern Colorado next weekend. Meanwhile, Montana heads to Portland State on Saturday to close out its road slate.
