Eastern's offense proved it could and will move the ball despite Andy Schmitt being unable to play with Kyle McMahon having an off the charts good 132.14 QB rating. We all know Terrence Blevins can pound the rock and if he goes for 100 yards today we think EMU can dominate. Yes, Northern Illinois has a fairly decent defense but they will go against Eastern's strength which is offense.
Eastern's defense has been a tremendous disappointment thus far. After the opening night shutout of ISU, they have allowed 42, 41 and 51 points in consecutive weeks, that's just not going to win many games. Coach Jeff Genyk will have to do something to sort this mess out. May we suggest the George Costanza OPPOSITE defense--whatever you were doing that wasn't working, do the exact opposite. Weren't blitzing much? Blitz every play. Sitting back in a zone defense on third down? Send everyone.
Something on defense has to change and fast.
Perfect weather is expected over Rynearson Stadium this afternoon with temperature in the low 70's and we can smell charcoal being lit around town right now. This game will hopefully live up to what everyone wants a Homecoming game to be.
Northern Illinois plays QB by committee, runs the ball by committee and today they LOSE by committee. Our call?
Eastern Michigan 28
Northern Illinois 20

DAMMIT, throw to your own team Eastern. DUH.
Fans around me very disappointed. EMU down 14-0 at end of 1.
HEy ROTC guys, fire the cannon AFTER we score. Scared the bejeesus outta Johnny
Damn, Johnny - I just flipped the game on in the third quarter - 28-Zip. OUCH.
Abysmal, see my post on this mess. Northern Illinois was faster and stronger and Eastern looked like they were lost. Coaches are either not getting through to these guys or not giving them the gameplans to win, or compete.
We've had some crap assed teams in the history of Eastern football, which is why this year hurts more, they had better players we THOUGHT, and were supposed to look better than THIS. They're not even competing.
I'd say Chelsea high school might be the powerhouse in Washtenaw County now
