The first play after a 10-yard punt by EWU's Landon Ogles, Smith ripped off a 45-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. A 17-punt gave the Sacramento State possession at the Eagles 35 and five plays later Hammond's 7-yard TD run made it 28-10.

Nate Bell threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Wilson Medina for Eastern Washington (4-5, 3-2). Bell left the game early in the second quarter due to an apparent shoulder injury and finished 6-of-14 passing for 39 yards. Redshirt freshman Jake Schakel replaced Bell and went 24 of 38 for 201 yards.
