It’s odd to be thinking about the mid-point of the season right now.
Usually, we are talking about which teams still have a shot to win the divisions and consequently the MAC. This has been an unusual season though with the late start, compressed schedule and late finish. With three losses, I think Eastern Michigan is pretty much out of the championship picture. However, they might get redemption in facing rivals Central and Western Michigan. If they get wins against both of those teams, they get the Michigan MAC trophy— but that’s a tall order.
When I wrote the season preview in what seems like years ago now, I said that the team was young and has very little experience at the skill positions.
