(STATS) -- Just like the offense, the red carpet is rolled out at Eastern Washington for the defense this season.Oh, the high-powered offense is still rolling, but the Eagles dont necessarily have to overcome their defense by winning shootouts.They posted their first shutout since 2009 in eliminating Richmond 38-0 in the FCS playoff quarterfinals Saturday on the red turf at Roos Field.Eastern Washington (12-1), a Big Sky Conference co-champion, will host Youngstown State (11-3) from the Missouri Valley Football Conference in an FCS semifinal next Saturday. Its a matchup of past FCS national champs as YSU won four titles in the 1990s and EWU captured its only one in 2010.Richmond (10-4) didnt challenge against the Eagles after the CAA Football squad made its second straight cross-country trip following a second-round win at North Dakota last Saturday. Roos Field was slick from snow in Cheney this week, but the Samson Ebukam-led defense had more to do with the Spiders offensive woes. The visitors committed five turnovers, quarterback Kevin Johnson was sacked six times and they finished with just 205 yards of offense. Their turnovers led to 17 Eagles points.Ebukam, a senior defensive end, had eight tackles, two sacks, two other tackles for loss, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception. Linebacker Miquiyah Zamora also had eight stops and a fumble recovery.Im so happy for what those guys (have done), theyve earned that, EWU coach Beau Baldwin said of the defense. It didnt just happen out there today, it goes way back.The Eagles, whose defense has improved under coordinator Jeff Schmedding, shut out Central Arkansas in the second half a week ago, so their streak rose to six quarters after they posted their first shutout since a 16-0 win over Northern Colorado on Sept. 19, 2009.They combined the big defensive effort with Gage Gubruds three first-half touchdown passes to dominate the first-ever meeting between the two programs.Gubrud finished 21 of 32 for 287 yards, raising his season total to an FCS-leading 4,807 yards. Senior wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught six passes for 128 yards and a touchdown, extending his career receiving yards to 6,284 -- a record for all divisions of college football.Nsimba Webster and Shaq Hill also caught touchdowns, while Jabari Wilson and Antoine Custer both rushed for scores.We just played together as a team the whole game, Baldwin said. Thats what I loved about it.Eastern Washington announced on Friday it is finalizing a five-year contract with Baldwin, its ninth-year head coach. He improved to 85-31 with the Eagles with Saturdays win. Air Max 1 From China .C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in Western Hockey League play Sunday. Cheap Air Max 1 For Sale . -- Canadian Andrew Wiggins got the ball on the wing, made a nifty spin move and then let go with a soft floater from about 10 feet that swished through the net in Allen Fieldhouse. http://www.cheapairmax1sale.com/ . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. Air Max 1 Outlet . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. Discount Air Max 1 .1 million pounds ($61.2 million) on Saturday, giving the beleaguered English Premier League champions a major lift.Head coach Trevor Bayliss admits England have had a reality check ahead of next months ICC World Twenty20. Eoin Morgans team finished their tour of South Africa with five straight defeats, three in 50-over cricket and two in T20s.The worst was saved until last, as England were hammered by nine wickets at the Wanderers after their last seven wickets fell for 14 runs on the way to 171 all out. They were then powerless to stop AB de Villiers (71) and Hashim Amla (69no) cruising to the victory target. Nasser Hussain and Nick Knight discuss how England may fare in the ICC World T20 De Villiers needed only 21 balls to race to his countrys all-time fastest 50 in the sprint format - and from 27, Amla was no slouch either.Bayliss immediate response was that the contest was men against boys.Asked whether reality check might be another appropriate term, he said: Yes, certainly. It shows weve still got a lot of hard work to be done. Nasser Hussain believes England shouldnt panic heading into the World T20 Weve had some good results, but its a reminder to people back home in England that this team is still a developing one.ddddddddddddWeve had some good performances, and theres a lot of potential there. But potential never won anything... weve got some hard work to do.I think the expectation the players have put on themselves is why they are so disappointed when they play badly. It may be that extra pressure they put on themselves that theyve got to get over. De Villiers celebrates reaching 50 - off just 21 balls The Australian still believes that England are a team capable of surprising opponents once they get to India - including South Africa, whom they will face in a group match.Wed obviously be better off going to the World Twenty20 with a couple of wins under our belts, he added. But in Twenty20, the momentum of games can change very quickly - and so can results.I dont think it really matters all that much. Were three weeks away yet from the first game and have a couple of practice games over there... were looking forward to them.Watch the ICC World T20, live on Sky Sports from March 8.
