Like every season, there are always some surprises. One of the big surprises for me is how Eastern Michigan has improved over last year. Currently they have four wins which more than their total wins for the past two years. If they get one more win, they will have surpassed their win total in the last three years. Two more wins and they will match their best record in the past ten years.
Grading the Defense.
A good part of Eastern Michigan’s record so far is the significant improvement of their defense. At the end of last season, Brad McCaslin was replaced at Defensive Coordinator by Neal Neathery.
