It was a back-and-forth game last night but the Eastern Michigan Eagles emerged on top. Eastern Michigan gained its sixth win, becoming bowl-eligible for the fourth time in five seasons. It also marks the first time the Eagles have been 6-3 overall in the Creighton era.
By scoring 52 points in the game vs. Toledo this week, and 55 against the Falcons in the last game, it also marks the first time that the Eagles have had back to back 50+ point games since 2008.
To put a cherry on top, it also was the first time the Eagles have won at the Glass Bowl since 1999.
