To say that Eastern Michigan has had a magical season this year is an understatement.
The Eagles are currently sitting at 5-4 and only need one more win to become bowl eligible. This week, they face the Ball State Cardinals who are 4-5. Both teams are coming off two-game losing streaks and hope to correct that.
After Eastern Michigan’s nice start, this was the game I was actually looking forward to seeing. After splitting their two opening games, Eastern Michigan looked like it was going to have a nice season last year.
In fact, they started the Ball State game leading 17-0 with about 5 minutes or so left in the half.
