CHENEY — Cooper Kupp became the FCS leader for career receiving yards, added to his FCS career touchdown catch record with two more and Eastern Washington scored seven touchdowns after halftime in what is, technically, a come-from-behind 63-30 win over UC Davis on Saturday.
Kupp finished with 12 catches for 274 yards — with TD catches of 32 and 71 yards — and set the FCS receiving-yards record with 130 in the first half. He came in 107 yards behind Terrell Hudgins (Elon, 2006-09) and ended the game with 5,417 yards receiving. He has 64 TD receptions.
Gage Gubrud passed for 486 yards and six touchdowns, leading a furious comeback after halftime, when the Eagles (3-1, 2-0 Big Sky) trailed 23-14. Gubrud opened the half with a lightning drive capped by a 17-yard strike to Shaq Hill. After a UC Davis turnover, Gubrud faked a handoff at the 1 and bounced left to score.
The 63 points are Eastern’s most since 2001 (66 versus Simon Fraser).
Manusamoa Luuga rushed for a career-high 160 yards with three TDs for UC Davis (1-4, 0-2).
