Once again, Eastern Michigan finds itself on the short side of a game that they had in their grasp. The defense managed to hold Western Michigan to 17 points in regulation. They also managed to hold the Broncos to a field goal. Eastern Michigan had to punch it in for a touch down to win.
The sad part is that I think with a win in this game, they still had a shot at the MAC Championship. It would be a nice tribute to the 1987 Eastern Michigan team to bring another MAC trophy to Ypsilanti. Sadly, it doesn’t get much easier for them in the rest of the season.
