The Eastern Michigan Eagles held a two touchdown lead in the fourth quarter but a fierce comeback from the Northern Illinois Huskies led to overtime, where the Huskies found a way to pull out a 30-27 victory.
So what’d we learn?
1. EMU and NIU have been opposites this year
Both Eastern and Northern could easily be 8-0. However, NIU is (tied) atop the MAC at 4-0 (6-2 overall) while EMU is 0-4 (2-6 overall). All six of the Eagles losses have been by five or less points...and their last three have been by a combined SEVEN points!
