The Ohio Bobcats defeated the Eastern Michigan Eagles by a final score of 34-26 in the weeknight slate this past week.

Despite the closeness of the final score, the game didn’t particularly reflect the result. Eastern Michigan was able to tie it up early in the second half but that didn’t last long as Ohio scored two touchdowns. With time waning, Eastern Michigan was able to put together a nice drive to bring it within a score but were not able to connect on the ensuing onside kick.

So what did we learn from this?

The EMU run game was lacking when called upon

First and foremost, the lack of a consistent run game has cost Eastern Michigan dearly.
