This was the enjoyment of all the labor and all the work.Gubrud, making his first start, completed 34 of 40 passes and was intercepted once. He also ran for a touchdown to ice the game.We knew we could do this the whole time, Gubrud said.Kupps two touchdown receptions in the third quarter put EWU ahead for good.It feels awesome to come out in the first game and do what we did, said Kupp, who was passed over by Washington and Washington State. The mentality is that we are the better team.Washington State rebounded from the loss to Portland State last year to finish 9-4.Eastern Washingtons first-level guys are as good as our first-level guys, Washington State coach Mike Leach said. They beat us in all three phases of the game.We need to play better football, said WSU receiver Gabe Marks, who caught 10 passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns.But cornerback Marcellus Pippins said it was too soon to panic.This is just one game, he said.

This past season, teams set records for points per game, field goals made and attempted, field goal percentage, free throws made, free throw percentage and assists.Brown has also been involved with USA Basketball since 1996.
