Washington’s offense shows up late with Williams and Lawson teaming up to beat Nebraska 17-10

Keali i Ah Yat, Eli Gillman, and Brooks Davis led Montana State's powerful offense to a 42-33 victory over Eastern Washington in a thrilling college football game on Saturday. The Grizzlies quarterback connected with Davis for three long touchdown passes, including a 75-yard score to start the game, a 51-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, and a 61-yarder to seal the win.

Ah Yat finished with 327 passing yards and two interceptions, becoming the first Grizzlies quarterback since 1999 to throw for 300 yards in four straight games.

Brooks Davis contributed significantly with nine receptions for 231 yards, while Gillman added 145 rushing yards on 24 carries. He scored a 4-yard touchdown reception in the first half and a 1-yard run before finishing with a 68-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Gillman now trails legendary EWU receiver Cooper Kupp's Big Sky Conference record of 77 touchdowns, targeting Brian Westbrook's FCS record of 89 touchdowns.

Montana State amassed 489 total yards, while Eastern Washington struggled with just 379 yards, including 110 on the ground. Despite the 11 sack loss to the Grizzlies, the Eagles' defense remained formidable, holding Montana State to a mere 93 points. Looking ahead, Montana State will host Portland State next Saturday, while Eastern Washington will face Idaho in a crucial matchup.
