It’s a rare opportunity to have a statement game this early in the season, but for the Eastern Michigan Eagles and the Ohio University Bobcats, that is the opportunity that presents itself today. Both teams feel like they are contenders for their divisions, and it is entirely feasible that this could be a preview of the MAC Championship Game in December.
Eastern Michigan comes into today’s contest at 2-0 fresh off a bye week following their thrilling upset of the Rutgers Scarlett Knights two weeks ago. Ohio comes in at 2-1, following their own P5 upset of the Kansas Jayhawks last week.
