On March 22, 43 people were killed when a massive mudslide hit the town. The mud was reportedly 15-feet deep in areas after it slid off a hill and down the Stillaguamish River.
Eastern Washington made it to the semifinals of the FCS Playoffs last season while Sam Houston State lost in the second round.
