Eastern Washington (5-7, 4-4) went three-and-out on its next two possessions before Cal Poly's Tyrei Washington ripped off a 33-yard touchdown run to cap the scoring with 7:06 to play.

Washington had 99 yards rushing on 21 carries. Booher finished with seven receptions for 126 yards and Pitts had 89 yards receiving on five catches for the Mustangs.

08/14/22 - Ethan Calvert, rSr/2026, Cal Poly, 6-3, 215 (DS#999 OLB) + More +

The No. 3-rated recruit in Utah history was lost for the season in 2021 on the first play of his career. Ethan Calvert's freshman season at the University of Utah officially consisted of one game. The reality is, it lasted just one play. The linebacker made his debut for the Utes in a season-opening over Weber State last year. On the first play of his career, he tore his ACL and was lost for the season. "I actually didn't think I tore it because I didn't know what that feels like," Calvert said Wednesday afternoon after practice. "My knee popped, I ran off the field and they told me I was done." Per the 247sports composite, Calvert is the No. 3-rated recruit in Utah history, and is the program's highest-rated linebacker in a decade. Those facts came with expectations for the former Oaks Christian School (Calif.) standout, but instead, it's been quite a winding road. "It is what it is," Calvert said this week. "I'm just trying to get my knee stronger every day and learn all the plays mentally. I wanted to be good on that side, so when I came back, I could be at full speed." - Salt Lake Tribune
