The important question is, “What can be learned from a 61-21 game?” Well, I think you can still learn quite a bit.
Eastern Michigan is still not quite there yet.
As I said last week, the drubbing of Mississippi Valley State was not a good yardstick for where Eastern Michigan was. Sure, I think they showed some improvement over the 2015 season but it was still hard to gauge. Eastern Michigan gave up quite a few big plays in the game tonight. It seems like two things lead to that: players out of position and missed tackles.
