What We Learned: Takeaways from Eastern Michigan’s 55-24 victory over Bowling Green

Eastern Michigan beat Bowling Green pretty handily, but what did we learn?

Ben Bryant has established himself as a pretty good quarterback, supplanting last year’s starter Preston Hutchinson after a brief start-of-season battle. He was 20-of-26 for 286 yards and two touchdown in the game on Saturday, with no interceptions, with many similar performances in MAC play which have kept the Eagles competitive.

Eastern Michigan can score in bushels when they need to. They have had five out of their eight games where they have scored over 30 points. With a more consistent defense, it is possible they would be standing at 4 and 0 in the MAC right now.
