The Central Washington University football team defeated 17th ranked Humboldt State University 55-27 to improve to 6-0 on the season and 4-0 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.

The loss is the first of the season for Humboldt State who falls to 4-1, 3-1 in the GNAC.

Although the Wildcats put up 55 points, it was the effort of the defense that highlighted the victory Saturday afternoon in front of a packed house of 6,032 fans inside Tomlinson Stadium. The Lumberjacks came into the contest averaging over 530 yards per game. The stingy CWU defense allowed HSU just 326 yards of total offense, including just 41 rushing yards, holding HSU's Ja'Quan Gardner to just 64 yards. Gardner came into the game averaging 150 yards on the ground.
