DAVIS, Calif. — Vernon Adams Jr. threw two long touchdown passes and ran for a third as Eastern Washington cruised past UC Davis, 37-14, in the Big Sky Conference opener for both schools Saturday night.
The Eagles (4-1, 1-0) led by just two points, 9-7 at intermission, but wasted little time getting on the board in the second half.
Adams found Cooper Kupp with a 61-yard touchdown pass less than a minute into the third quarter, then ran in from the 4 midway through the period.
Mario Brown scored from 6 late in the third quarter to make it 30-7, but UC Davis (1-3, 0-1) responded with a 70-yard, London Lacy-to-Keelan Doss touchdown pass.
