DEKALB, Ill. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University football team begins play in the phenomenon known as “MACtion” when it travels to DeKalb, Ill. for a midweek showdown with Mid-American Conference West Division foe Northern Illinois University Thursday, Oct. 26, at Huskie Stadium. The Eagles (2-5, 0-3 MAC) look to get back on track after dropping their last five contests by a combined 20 points, after falling to Western Michigan University, 20-17, in overtime, Oct. 21. Meanwhile, the Huskies (5-2, 3-0 MAC) have won three consecutive games, most recently dispatching Bowling Green State University, 48-17, Oct. 21. The contest will be nationally televised by CBS Sports Network with Ben Holden providing play-by-play, David Diehl serving as the analyst, and John Schriffen reporting from the sideline. WEMU (89.1 FM) will provide audio coverage of the game with Matt Shepard, Rob Rubick, and Chad Bush calling the action on the field.

DEFENSE VS. DEFENSE: Thursday’s game pits the Mid-American Conference’s top two statistical defenses against each other. The Huskies lead the conference with just 16.7 points per game given up, while the Eagles are allowing 19.9 ppg. Furthermore, Northern Illinois has limited opponents to just 293.4 yards per game with Eastern second at 350.9. Each side has experienced a vast improvement from last season in scoring defense, combining for a 23.5 ppg improvement (EMU 9.9, NIU 13.6) from the 2016 campaign.

WEEKS GET SHORTER: From here out, EMU players and coaches will have 5, 7, 6, 7 and 5 days, respectively, to prepare for game days.

Passes that are not mailed will be available at the Will Call window at the Convocation Center. Parking for media will be at Oestrike Stadium.

Practice Procedures Most practices are open to the media. However, all media are required to make an advance call to the EMU Athletic Media Relations Office to check on the status of practice for a particular day. Failure to do so may result in an individual’s removal from the venue. Head Coach Chris Creighton is available to speak to the media via phone Monday-Thursday mornings. Coach Creighton will be available on the Mid-American Conference weekly conference call on Monday morn-ings. Individual players are available for interviews Monday-Wednesday. Please contact the EMU Athletic Media Relations Office at least 24-hours in advance to set up interviews. Players should not be contacted for interviews at their residences, on their cell phones, via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and all other social network-ing entities. During regular season practices, still photographers and videographers will be allowed to shoot only during pre-practice individual drills, which usually last approxi-mately 15 minutes at the beginning of practice. Media members covering practices or scrimmages will not be permitted to report any scouting informa-tion (formations, personnel groupings, etc.) without first speaking with a member of the EMU coaching staff or the media relations office. Failure to adhere to this guideline could result in the closing of all practices and scrimmages to the media. First-year players, including freshmen and transfers, will be made available to the media only after they have made a significant contribution or at the coach’s discre-tion.

Interview Policies (Postgame) Post-game interviews for EMU will be conducted in Media Room A in the Convocation Center at the south end of Rynearson Stadium. The visiting coach will do interviews outside their lockerroom. Both head coaches will be available to the media after a 10-minute cooling off period.

NO CONSOLATION: For just the second time since joining the MAC in 1976, EMU has played six consecutive one possession games. The current team is 1-5 in those contests decided by just 23 points. The 1993 squad weathered through seven-straight heart-stopping weekends with a 4-3 mark decided by a total of 31 points. Since 1976, EMU has eight seasons with five-or-more games decided by a single possession. The 1993 club bears the standard of eight games, while the 1984, 2006, 2011, and 2016 seasons all featured seven games with outcomes of eight points-or-less.

THE RETURN OF #MACTION: EMU’s clash with Western Michigan, Oct. 21, was the last regular season Saturday game of the year for the Green and White as it turns its attention to midweek conference games, known as #MACtion. The Eagles’ final five games will take place during the week, beginning with a trip to DeKalb, Ill. Thursday, Oct. 26, for a MAC West showdown with the Huskies of Northern Illinois.

COMING DOWN TO THE WIRE: In EMU’s last 20 games, dating back to the start of the 2016 season, 14 of them have come down to final scores of just seven points or less. Of the 14 games, EMU has come away victorious in just under half of them (6-8). In 2017, six of EMU’s seven games have been of the one-score variety, with EMU winning just one (16-13 over Rutgers). Further complicating it, EMU’s last five opponents have a combined .736 winning percentage with 28 wins.

OVERTIME STRIKES AGAIN: The 20-17 overtime loss to Western was the 12th overtime game in EMU history, and the second one this season. EMU fell to 5-7 all-time in extra time and 0-2 in 2017. It is just the second time in program history that the Eagles have played multiple OT games in a season, with the other instance coming during the 1998 campaign.

NO SOUP FOR YOU!: Defensive Coordinator Neal Neathery’s crew has proven to be very stingy in the fourth quarter, allowing just 2.4 points per game over the course of the final 15 minutes. Only Kentucky (TD), Toledo (FG), and Army (TD) have been able to hang points against the stout EMU attack. Nationally, EMU ranks second in the fewest points given up in the fourth with Wisconsin leading the way at 2.0 ppg.

SUFFOCATING DEFENSE: Eastern Michigan’s defense has not only been one of the best units in the conference, but also the country in almost every facet of the game. Heading into week eight, the Eagles rank in the top-50 nationally in eight major defensive categories:

INSIDE ROBACK’S TD TOSSES: During his time donning the Green and White, Brogan Roback has thrown 48 touchdown passes, the second-most in program history. For his career, Roback has tossed TD passes to 18 different receivers. Current teammate Sergio Bailey II has been his favorite target, hauling in 10 touchdown catches, while Dustin Creel and Antoine Porter have made six TD catches apiece.

ROLLING THE DICE MORE THAN KENNY ROGERS: Gambling on fourth down has become a regular occurrence for EMU football in the 2017 season. So far, Eastern has gone for it on fourth down 13 times, converting on eight of the plays. The 61.54% ratio ties what the Eagles ended with in the 2016 campaign. Both their attempts and conversions rank second in the MAC, while their conversion percentage ranks fourth. On the opposite side of the ball, the Eagles’ 4th-down defense is tied for first in the MAC, as they’ve held opponents to only two successful attempts on six tries.

Chris Creighton was named the 37th Head Football Coach at Eastern Michigan Uni-versity on Dec. 11, 2013. Creigh-ton will start his fourth season as the head man at EMU in the

2017 season. During his 20-year head coaching career, the 48-year-old Creighton has accumulated eight conference titles and an all-time record of 150-73 (.672 winning percentage). Voted as a finalist for the 2016 American Football Coaches Awards’ first-ever Comeback Coach of the Year, Creighton led EMU to the program’s winning season since 1995 and its first bowl appearance since 1987. The 2016 Eagles finished in a seven-way tie for the most improved program in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in 2016, bettering its win total from one win in 2015, to seven this season. Creighton led the Eagles to their first bowl appearance in 29 years following one of EMU’s most successful seasons in its 125-year history. The turnaround is tied for the largest in school history, equalled only by the 1924 and 1977 teams. The then-Hurons went 8-0 under Head Coach Elton J. Rynearson in 1925 after going 2-5-1 in 1924. Meanwhile, the 1977 club finished 8-3 following a 2-9 campaign in 1976 for Head Coach Ed Chelbek. As an offense, EMU ranked 35th in the FBS in total offense, posting 455.2 yards per game in 13 contests. The team also shattered the school record for total offense with 5,917 yards, breaking the previous record of 5,010. Other notable offensive highlights for the Eagles this past season include ranking 16th nationally in third down conversions, 18th in passing offense, 21st in red zone offense, and 25th in first down offense. On defense, the Eagles saw a remarkable improvement in its first season under defensive coordinator Neal Neathery. EMU allowed 86.5 yards per game less in 2016 (432.7 per game) than it did in 2015 (519.2 per game) to rank 83rd in the country and seventh in the MAC. The team also took a huge step forward in stopping the run, as the defense gave up 149 yards per game less on the ground in 2016 than it did a year earlier. Overall, EMU was nationally ranked seventh in fumbles recovered, 32nd in turnovers gained, 58th in interceptions, and 59th in rushing defense. During the 2015 campaign, the Eagles finished the regular season ranked nationally in the top-60 in seven statistical catego-ries to go along with 11 top-five rankings in the Mid-American Conference. EMU finished the year with 39 touchdowns, a mark that is tied for the fifth-most in a single-season during the squad’s 124-year history, while its 4,560 yards of total offense is also the fifth most. On the ground, EMU churned out the 14th-best single-season rushing total at 1,894 yards. Through the air, EMU quarterbacks combined for 2,666 yards passing, ranking seventh in program single-season annals. EMU’s passing attack spread the wealth with seven different receivers having 20-or-more receptions, Eastern Michigan was one of just three schools nationally to accomplish that feat. Individually, Darius Jackson turned in one of the finest seasons in Eastern Michigan history in 2015, setting the school’s single-season record with 16 touchdowns. He also became the first EMU tailback since Bronson Hill in 2013 to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season and is just the 13th player in program history to do so. In his six seasons at the helm of the Bulldogs, Creighton racked up a 35-13 (.729) record in Pioneer Football League action and a 31-9 (.775) record the last five seasons. Just the seventh DU coach to win 40-or-more games and the fastest to do so, Creighton needed just 60 games to accomplish the feat. In his time at Drake, Creighton boasted a 30-5 home record and a 21-2 home conference record, going undefeated against five conference opponents. Drake had an 11-game home win streak during Creighton’s tenure as well as winning 16-straight home conference games with him at the helm. The energetic but veteran coach was named a winner of the Giant Steps Award presented by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports as part of National Student-Athlete Day on April 6, 2011. Creighton, awarded in the Coaching category, was one of just five 2011 winners of the Giant Steps Award, given annually to individuals who use sport to positively affect social

change, actualizing the mission of the NCAS. The awards honor student-athletes, athletic administrators, civic leaders, coaches, parents, organizations, and other individuals who demonstrate an outstanding ability to manage life on and off the field, and who demonstrate a commitment to the betterment of society. As an All-America quarterback, Creighton led Kenyon (Ohio) College to its only North Coast Athletic Conference title in 1989 and was named conference player of the year after setting single-season conference records for passing yardage (2,843) and touchdowns (29). He was inducted into the Kenyon College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008. Creighton earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Kenyon College in 1991 and a master’s degree from Concordia (Ill.) University in 1993. Creighton is the first active head coach to be hired at Eastern Michigan since Jim Harkema in 1983. Harkema was the head coach at Grand Valley State University (1973-82) before taking over the EMU program and leading it to its only Mid-American Conference Championship in 1987 and last bowl appearance. Chris and his wife, Heather, have two daughters, Hallie and Kate, and a son, Luke.Year-By-Year Coaching Record

JUST @HUNNIDS: With four catches in Eastern’s game against Western Michigan, senior wideout Sergio Bailey II eclipsed the 100-catch mark for his career. He is only the 14th player to haul in 100-or-more catches in EMU history, and currently ranks tied for 12th in EMU laurels with 101 receptions with Tom Parm and Tyreese Russell. Furthermore, Bailey is one of just 30 players in the FBS to have an active streak of 20-more more consecutive games with a reception. Bailey has caught at least one pass in all 20 games during his EMU career, while Iowa State’s Allen Lazard holds the national standard at 42.

HAULING IT IN: Antoine Porter put together a career day against Western Michigan, Oct. 21, registering 10 catches for 93 yards, both of which were career-highs. Porter is the first Eagle to record double digit receptions in a game since Dustin Creel did so against UMass, Nov. 14, 2015.

GOT EM!: Facing fourth-and-nine from its own 23-yard line, EMU lined up in punt formation after what looked like a three-and-out. Instead, the Eagles faked the punt and picked up 27-yards and a first down on the first rush of Kyle Rachwal’s career. It was the first successful fake punt for EMU since Dominique Sherrer converted on fourth down against Buffalo, Nov. 20, 2010.

ALL-TIME AGAINST THE HUSKIES: The Eagles and Huskies have met 47 times in their respective histories in a series that dates back to 1927. NIU holds a strong lead in the all-time tally, going 31-14-2, including winning the last nine contests. EMU’s last win over the Huskies came in 2007, a 21-19 triumph in DeKalb.

LAST WIN VS NIU: Eastern’s last win in the series came Sept. 15, 2007, by a 21-19 margin. In that game, Eastern Michigan overcame a 13-point deficit to post a 21-19 victory over Northern Illinois on the road. An EMU interception setup a Pierre Walker game-winning touchdown score with 5:29 left in the game. Then, with the outcome still very much in doubt, Eric Young stepped up to block Chris Nendick’s 50-yard field goal attempt as time expired to seal the two-point EMU win.

SO, ABOUT THAT DEFENSE: This week’s matchup contains a battle between two of the premier defenses in both the Mid-American Conference and the country. EMU and NIU hold the top-two ranks in the conference in total, scoring, and first down defense. Additionally, Eastern ranks first in the MAC in pass defense and fourth down situations, while Northern Illinois sits at the top of the conference in rushing defense, interceptions, sacks, and third down defense. There is only one defensive category in which either team does not hold a top position in the MAC, as NIU is tied for third and EMU sits tied for sixth in redzone defense.

TURNING THE OFFENSE UP A NOTCH: Despite the overtime loss, EMU saw season-best offensive numbers against Western Michigan, Oct. 21. In the game, EMU put up season-highs in total offense (461), passing yards, (308), and rushing yards (153).

ROBACK RISING: Senior quarterback Brogan Roback has put up standout numbers in his four seasons in the Green and White, placing him near the top of the EMU record books in four major categories. For his career, he ranks second in completions (665), passing touchdowns (48), and total offense (7,816) while ranking third in passing yards (7,580). Beyond just EMU, Roback is among the FBS leaders in active total offense and passing yards, ranking 16th among current players in passing yards, and 17th in total offense.

LOCKED IN ON D: Through seven games, EMU opponents have combined to score a total of just 139 points, for an average of 19.8 points per contest. On that current pace, EMU would finish with 238 points yielded on the year. It would be the fewest points given up in a season since 1991, when it gave up 232 in 11 games. Should EMU’s defense finish with less than 264 points on the season, it would be the fewest allowed by an Eagle defense since moving to a 12-game regular season schedule in 2002.

BECK ON THE STOP: Senior Jason Beck, who transitioned from safety to linebacker this season, has racked up 316 tackles in his career, making him just the 16th EMU player to reach the 300-tackle milestone, and placing him 14th all-time at EMU. In terms of the national scale, Beck’s 316 stops is ninth amongst active FBS players.

DYNAMIC DUO: The defensive end duo of Jeremiah Harris and Maxx Crosby have been the leaders of the high sack and tackle for loss movement thus far for the Eagles in 2017. On the season, Crosby is EMU’s sack and TFL leader with 5.0 sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss, respectively, including one TFL in each game. Meanwhile, Harris has chipped in 8.0 TFL’s and 3.5 sacks. Crosby ranks fourth in the conference and 40th in the NCAA in sacks.

BEHIND ENEMY LINES: The Green and White have made a living feasting on the opposition behind the line of scrimmage this season. Through seven games, the Eagles have registered 44 tackles for loss and 17 sacks. In 2016, the Eagles totaled 60.0 tackles for loss and 21.0 sacks in 13 games. On its current pace of about six tackles for loss per game, EMU is set to rack up the most TFL’s since 2001. Additionally, if Eastern is able to maintain its average of about 2.5 sacks per contest it would be the third-most in program history and most since 1999.

FORCED FUMBLE FIEND: For his career, Jeremiah Harris has totaled five forced fumbles. The five forced fumbles are currently good for 27th among active FBS players.

PAULIE RACKING UP THE POINTS: In just his second season as the primary place kicker for EMU, Paulie Fricano has racked up 136 career points, which is good for 12th on the all-time EMU scoring list. Former Eagle kicker Andrew Wellock is the program leader with 299 career points.

DEUCES WILD: In just his second season in the program senior wideout Sergio Bailey II sits 11th on the all-time receiving yardage list with 1,427, while he is also tied for 12th on the all-time receptions list (101) and tied for sixth on the career TD catches list (11).

ON THE HORIZON: The Eagles return home Thursday, Nov. 2, for a midweek MACtion contest against Ball State University. Kickoff between the Eagles and Cardinals at “The Factory” inside Rynearson Stadium is set for 6 p.m.

SPREADING THE LOVE: In the first seven games of the season, senior quarterback Brogan Roback has spread the ball around to a multitude of targets, having completed passes to at least eight different in six of the first seven games. The veteran found 10 different receivers against Charlotte, eight different receivers against Rutgers, 12 different targets against Ohio, eight against Kentucky, nine against Toledo, and 10 against Western Michigan. The lone game in which Roback did not connect with at least eight wideouts was against Army. With the average of nine different receivers per game, EMU ranks sixth in the country in different wideouts with a catch per game.

TEACHING AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS: In the game against Army, Oct. 14, Brogan Roback accomplished something he had failed to do in his four seasons prior. The fifth-year passed for four touchdowns, marking a new career-high. For his efforts, he was named the MAC’s Offensive Player of the Week. It was the first four-TD pass game for the Eagles since Alex Gillett did so twice in 2011. In addition, on the first TD strike, Roback surpassed Walter Church for second on the all-time passing TD list. He now needs seven to pass Charlie Batch for the all-time program record.

ELECTRIC ERIKSEN: Junior Ian Eriksen rushed for 107 yards on 20 carries against Army, Oct. 14. It was the first 100-yard rushing game of the season for the Eagles, as well as the third 100-yard output of Eriksen’s career. Also in that game, Eriksen eclipsed the 1,000-yard milestone for his Eagle career.

WELL, I MEAN…THEY’RE NOT THE AIR FORCE: The EMU defense held Army without a single reception in the game, Oct. 14, as the Black Knights went 0-for-5 through the air. They were not all bad passes, as EMU had three pass breakups on the five attempts. This was just the second time since 1965 EMU has held an opponent without a reception, the other time was also against Army, Oct. 11, 2008.

GROUNDING THE ROCKETS’ OFFENSE: In the 20-15 loss to Toledo, Oct. 7, EMU’s defense held the potent Rocket offense to its fewest point total since Sept. 12, 2015, against the University of Arkansas. Coming into the game, UT was averaging 42 points per game. In addition, Toledo put up 419 total yards after coming into the contest averaging 521.8.

CLUB CALHOUN: Sophomore defensive back Vince Calhoun, complete with a clubbed hand, recorded a career-high 16 tackles against Toledo, Oct. 7, including 10 solo stops. This was the most amount of tackles in a single-game since Great Ibe totaled 21 against UMass, Nov. 14, 2015.

WREAKING HAVOC ON THE WILDCATS: With 312 total yards in the clash with Kentucky, Eastern Michigan outgained a Southeastern Conference team for the first time in program history. The 24 points were also the fewest surrendered to a SEC opponent in 10 all-time games. Meanwhile, EMU’s suffocating defense held UK to 228 total yards, while racking up season-highs in both sacks (5.0) and tackles for loss (10.0). It was the most sacks in a game for EMU since 2013.

I LIKE IKE: In the game against Kentucky, Sept. 30, senior Ike Spearman totaled a team-high eight tackles, including one for loss. The eight tackles was more than he had accumulated in his first three games of the season (7). Now in his sixth year in the program, Spearman has totaled 144 stops in his career, including 7.0 for loss. BLINK AND YOU MAY HAVE MISSED IT: The first score for EMU in the game against Kentucky, Sept. 30, came with just 15 seconds elapsed on the first quarter clock on a 20-yard pass from Brogan Roback to Sergio Bailey II to put EMU up 7-0. It was the quickest touchdown for EMU to start a game since Tyler Allen returned the opening kick.

HOYING ROLLING UP THE HONORS: Accolades continue to roll in for Brody Hoying, as the Eagles’ defensive back was named the MAC’s Scholar Athlete of the Week for the period ending Sept. 24. Plus, after already earning the MAC’s West Division Defensive Player of the Week honor, he also garnered honorable mention Player of the Week accolades from the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award. Hoying led EMU’s defense in a double-overtime game against Ohio, Sept. 23. Hoying paced the Green and White with a career-best 10 tackles, eight solo and two assisted, while also making his presence known in the turnover game as he has done all year. Having already registered a pair of interceptions in EMU’s first two games of the season, Hoying recorded a career-high two forced fumbles against the Bobcats. The Coldwater, Ohio native also recovered a fumble, running it back 40 yards, ultimately leading to a field goal.

PICKING OFF A POWER 5: With the thrilling 16-13 win over Rutgers, Sept. 9, Eastern Michigan defeated a ‘Power 5’ program for the first time in program history in 59 tries. In addition, it was also EMU’s first win over a Big Ten Conference team in 39 attempts.

BECK NAMED A SEMIFINALIST FOR NFF CAMPBELL TROPHY: The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) has announced its 181 semifinalists for the 2017 William V. Campbell Trophy presented by Fidelity Investments. The Campbell Trophy is recognized as college football’s premier scholar-athlete award. The 181 individuals come from all divisions of college football. EMU senior linebacker Jason Beck is one of the individuals nominated for this year’s award. Beck is currently pursuing his bachelor’s degree in sport management, in which he maintains a 3.28 grade point average.



MR.CLUTCH: In the 16-13 win over Rutgers, Sept. 9, quarterback Brogan Roback led EMU on a seven-play, 77-yard scoring drive early in the fourth quarter that resulted in what ended up being the game-winning field goal from Paulie Fricano. It was the fifth game-winning drive Roback has led in his EMU career, as well as being the third-longest yardage wise.

HARRIS EARNS POW HONORS AFTER STRONG SHOWING IN PISCATAWAY: Junior defensive lineman Jeremiah Harris wreaked havoc on the Rutgers offense all night in a thrilling 16-13 win over the Scarlet Knights, Sept. 9. For his efforts, he was named the MAC West Division Defensive Player of the Week for the second time in his career. The Lambertville, Mich. native had the game-sealing sack on the final play of the game to clinch the first victory over a ‘Power 5’ program in program history. In addition to the sack, Harris added a tackle for loss, a pass breakup at the line, a QB hurry, as well as an interception to halt a potential Rutgers scoring drive. While not showing out in the box score, Harris was the catalyst for a defense that held Rutgers to just 128 yards rushing, 198 passing, and 15 first downs. The game-winning sack was the 6.5 of his career, while the pick was his second.

DEFENSE KEEPING IT ON THE DOWN LOW: By holding Charlotte to just seven points in the 24-7 win, Sept. 1, EMU held its season-opening opponent to its fewest points since 2008, when it shutout Indiana State, 52-0. The Eagle defense only got stronger as the game went on as well, as Eastern held the 49ers to just 20 total yards over its final six possessions. Furthermore, EMU did not allow Charlotte to venture into the red zone in 14 possessions. The last time EMU’s defense held an opponent outside the 20-yard line for the entire game was Sept. 10, 2011, against Alabama State University. Coincidentally, that is also the last time the Eagles limited the opposition to just seven points in a game.

PICKS GALORE: The three interceptions in the 24-7 win over Charlotte, Sept. 1 were the most picks in a single game for the Eagles since the 2008 season opener, a 52-0 victory over Indiana State.

ERIKSEN EARNS MAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS: Running back Ian Eriksen was named the Mid-American Conference West Division Offensive Player of the Week for the period ending Sept. 2. It is the first weekly award of his career. Eriksen paced the EMU offense in a 24-7 win over Charlotte, Sept. 1. The Clarkston, Mich. native rushed for 37 yards on seven carries, averaging a team-best 5.3 yards per touch. He also punched in two scores, marking the fourth time in his career that he has found the end zone twice in a single game.

126 YEARS OF FOOTBALL: This is the 126th year for the EMU football team. The first year of intercollegiate football in Ypsilanti was 1891, when the team, then known as the Michigan Normal College Normalites, posted an 0-2 record. EMU has fielded a team every year since 1891 with one exception, when the 1944 season was canceled because of World War II.

Toughness. Pride. Resilience. Those key words describe the EMU football program under Head Coach Chris Creighton. They are also terms befitting the proud residents of southeastern Michigan and their hard-working demeanor. Inspired by this region of the state and the student-athletes’ own backgrounds, the team has challenged itself to be “E Tough,” committed to great effort, sacrifice and triumphing in the face of adversity. In this spirit, the team has nicknamed Rynearson Stadium “The Factory,” a place where coaches and staff will go to work each day to help “E Tough” student-athletes become scholars, leaders, champions and impact men. “The Factory” will be highlighted by Division I Football’s first gray FieldTurf playing surface. Since taking over reigns of EMU Football in December 2013, Creighton has rallied the program to “close the gap” between its current status and the pursuit of its true potential. He has studied the school, its surroundings, recruiting base and the current student-athletes. The one common thread throughout has been an uncommon ‘toughness’ that permeates the program. In this spirit, the program’s E Tough mentality represents:

Team first Obsessed with getting better Unwavering in adversity Great effort Heart

The concept of the “EMU Gray” field was born during one of the squad’s notoriously intense winter workouts in 2014. The squad was challenged to an outdoor practice on the snow-covered Rynearson Stadium field rather than the warm confines of their indoor practice facility. True to their E Tough demeanor, the team accepted the challenge. Throughout each drill of the bitter cold practice, Creighton delivered the message that EMU Football has the will to compete against “anyone, anytime and anywhere… even on a parking lot covered with broken glass.” Inspired by his team’s toughness and commitment that day, Creighton’s idea of an “EMU Gray” field was born and soon shared with administrators.

The new look within Rynearson Stadium, and moniker, “The Factory” serves as visual and name recognition for the program’s ideals. They are a constant reminder to the student-athletes that being E Tough means coming ready to roll up their sleeves and to never give in or let up. “Our colors are green and white but our collars are blue,” said Creighton. “The Factory is where our coaching staff goes to work and our players develop. It is our home and one that we will protect. When opponents come to The Factory we want to make it known that they are in for a 60-minute fight. Our goal is to make it one of the toughest places to play in the Mid-American Conference.” Southeastern Michigan has long been viewed as one of the most signif icant manufacturing centers in the country, and the iconic ‘Automotive Capital of the World.’ Despite battling difficult times in recent years, local communities’ toughness and resilience has been on display, as the region is experiencing a dramatic rebirth. EMU football student-athletes come from these communities and have brought this toughness to the team. Ypsilanti has its own proud history in the automobile and manufacturing industries. The city was the home of Apex Motors, Preston Tucker and his Preston ’48, and the last Hudson automobile dealership. The nearby Willow Run manufacturing complex played a critical role in producing B-24 “Liberator” heavy bombers in the early years of World War II. It was also at this location that Rose Will Monroe, the film and poster representation of “Rosie the Riveter,” actually worked as a riveter before becoming the manufacturing icon of the era.

Building BlocksWhen Head Coach Chris Creighton came onboard in 2014 he helped establish some new EMU initiatives.

• The Wrench - a 51-pound pipe wrench given to Coach Creighton. It helps serve as a symbol of the team’s mission to “close the gap.” The tool’s vices represent the gap.

• The Wall - prior to running onto the field at home games EMU will break through a cinder block wall.

• Hammers of the Week - the coaching staff will select hammers of the week for the big hit of the week. The selected players will have their number put on the sledge hammers used to knock down the wall.

• Turn it Up, Turn It Green - a pregame prep rally inside the Convocation Center. The football team will arrive along with a special performance by the EMU marching band.

“The wrench, the field, the concrete wall, we know people will have comments, but they all have real meaning for us. It all goes back to the idea of investing, and working for something. It is about putting on those steel-toed boots, and going to work.” - Head Coach Chris Creighton

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University football team began its 2017 season under the lights of “The Factory” inside Rynearson Stadium, opening the year with a commanding 24-7 win over the University of North Carolina Charlotte Friday, Sept. 10. The seven points were the fewest EMU (1-0, 0-0 MAC) has given up in a season opener since 2005. The game also marked the 150th career win for Head Coach Chris Creighton in his 21-year career. As a team, the Green and White got most of their offensive edge through the passing game, finishing with 267 yards. The run game added an additional 126 to its total for 393 yards in all. Meanwhile, Eastern’s defense did their job limiting the 49ers (0-1, 0-0 C-USA) to 280 total yards, with only 114 yards in the air. As part of the excellent passing defense, the Eagles picked off three errant Charlotte passes, including a pick six from redshirt sophomore Brody Hoying to open the scoring. It was coincidentally the first interception returned for a touchdown since the Charlotte game last season. Also getting in on the interception party were senior Jason Beck and junior Justin Moody, the third and first of their careers, respectively. As a whole, EMU disrupted the 49er offensive attack all night, totaling seven tackles for loss, as well as two sacks. Redshirt junior Jeremiah Harris led the way with nine total stops, including 1.5 for loss and a half sack. On the offensive side of the ball, senior Brogan Roback led the EMU attack, throwing for 267 yards. In doing so, Roback surpassed Andy Schmitt for third all-time in career passing yards. The veteran spread the love, completing passes to 10 different wideouts, including three who had at least three receptions on the day. Senior Sergio Bailey II led the way with five catches for 78 yards. while fellow senior Antoine Porter had a solid game with three catches for 74 yards. Redshirt junior Shaq Vann paced the rushing attack with 23 carries for 90 yards while redshirt junior Ian Eriksen picked up two rushing touchdowns to go along with his 37 yards on the ground. It was the fourth two-touchdown effort of his EMU career. The Eagles started out promising, with a 20 yard scamper from Vann, followed by a 21-yard pass to Bailey II to get EMU into Charlotte territory. The drive failed to get any further though, as UNCC forced a fumble to end the momentum. Charlotte began their first drive in their own territory, but it did not last long as on the sixth play Hoying intercepted a Hasaan Klugh pass. The Ohio native, with his first career interception, jumped the route and returned the ball 35 yards the other way for a touchdown to give EMU the early 7-0 lead. Charlotte drove into Eagle’s territory on the ground with a 51 yard rush on its first play from scrimmage on its next drive. With a third-and-nine, the 49ers completed a 21 yard pass into the end zone for a touchdown, knotting the score back up at seven apiece with just under eight minutes in the first quarter. On the next drive, Eastern took advantage of a key Charlotte penalty on third down and used the new life to score its second touchdown of the game. Charlotte gave EMU a first down after a roughing-the-passer penalty was called. The Green and White took full advantage of the penalty as Eriksen dove the ball into the end zone for a touchdown six plays later, and with the extra-point, gave the Eagles a 14-7 lead. As play turned to the second quarter, the Eagles were not able to maintain their rhythm. On the fourth play from scrimmage in the quarter, Roback threw his first

interception of the season, and the 49ers responded by putting together a long drive. Charlotte, struggling with penalties throughout the first half, seemed to break the yellow flag curse with a 26-yard pass that placed them in EMU’s territory. The penalties continued to haunt the 49ers the rest of the drive though as it stalled and they were once again forced to punt. Roback saw nothing but open teammates during the Eagles’ next possession, connecting with four different receivers for 60 yards on the drive. The Eagles capped off the 74 yard drive with a 32-yard field goal from redshirt sophomore kicker Paulie Fricano to push the lead to 17-7. Charlotte did not not get anything going in its final possession of the half to maintain the 10-point advantage. Charlotte started with possession to begin the second half, as they looked to begin a comeback. They were able to move up the field into the Eagle’s territory before the penalties once again hit the 49ers, stalling their drive. Eastern continued to use Charlotte’s errors for their advantage as Beck picked his first pass since the 2015 campaign, giving the Eagles possession deep in their own territory. The ball passed quickly between teams after the initial Charlotte drive, as each side failed to drive longer than three minutes. Moody, with the first interception of his career, broke up the 49ers 50 second drive before the Eagles had a turnover on downs less than two minutes later. Charlotte struggled to find their rhythm as the Eagles limited them to a three-and-out, keeping it 17-7 with 5:41 left in the third. Eastern got the pace moving on its next drive, with four-straight first downs for 76 yards. Roback’s 41 yard pass to A. Porter put the Eagles within striking distance. An Eriksen rush pushed the Eagles to within five yards of a score and, one play later, he dove into the end zone for his second touchdown of the game. With the extra point, the Green and White stretched their lead, 24-7. EMU’s defense, like they had all day, continued to hold the 49ers offense down the rest of the way, limiting them to just 20 yards total in their final six possessions. While neither team threatened to score, the efforts on both sides of the ball were enough to allow the Eagles to cruise to the 17-point win.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University football team completed its first win over a ‘Power 5’ opponent in program history with a heart-pounding 16-13 victory over Rutgers University Saturday evening, Sept. 9, at High Point Solutions Stadium. With the win, EMU snatched its first win over a Big Ten Conference opponent in 39 tries, and moved to 2-0 on the season for the first time since 2011. The defense carried the day for the Eagles, holding the Scarlet Knights (0-2) to 326 yards of total offense to EMU’s 374. EMU won the turnover battle, 2-1, including two crucial interceptions from junior Jeremiah Harris and sophomore Brody Hoying. In addition to the pick, Harris kept the RU attack uneasy all game, finishing with two tackles for loss, a breakup, a hurry, and the game-sealing sack. On the season, EMU’s defense has allowed just two touchdowns over two games. Eastern Michigan did most of its offensive damage through the air, as senior Brogan Roback (Maumee, Ohio-Toledo St. John’s Jesuit) finished his day 19-of-36 with 260 yards and a touchdown pass. He found nine different receivers, his favorite being senior Sergio Bailey II, who had his third career 100-yard day, catching five passes for 107 yards. Fellow senior Antoine Porter also saw plenty of targets, finishing with 62 yards on a career-best tying seven receptions, and the lone score. On the ground, junior Shaq Vann led the Eagle rushing attack with 16 carries for 67 yards. Finally, sophomore Paulie Fricano was as steady as ever, converting three field goal attempts to tie his career-high. The Eagles struck first after holding RU to just one first down on its first drive. Beginning at their own 27, Roback slung back-to-back passes to A. Porter and Bailey II for 14 and 31 yards to get EMU into Rutgers territory. Another short pass to Porter, and a Vann eight-yard rush put Eastern into the redzone, where it took just one play for Roback to find Porter for the third time on the drive in the corner of the endzone for the score. The fifth TD of Porter’s career gave EMU the early 7-0 advantage. Rutgers came right back after the scoring drive to put up points themselves, scorching down the field to get into the redzone after just four plays. With first and goal, Rutgers mustered just three more yards as EMU’s defense stepped up, holding them to a field goal, making it 7-3 with just under five minutes in the first quarter. Following the consecutive scoring drives, both offenses did not get much momentum, including EMU’s defense forcing consecutive three-and-outs, to keep the four-point lead. With Rutgers beginning to win the field position battle, they set up shop in EMU territory with 10:45 until the half looking to capitalize on the short field. EMU’s defense had other plans though, as on the second play, senior Oddie Granger III tipped the ball at the line, and it fell into the waiting arms of J. Harris for the second pick of his career, giving Eastern the ball right at midfield. The Eagles were unable to do anything with the turnover as RU’s defense continued to stifle the EMU attack. Eastern’s defense kept returning the favor on the defensive side, forcing three more three and outs on Rutgers drives to make it six straight drives without a first down for the Scarlet Knights, and keeping it a 7-3 tally with three minutes until the break. Starting a drive at the 3:02 mark, EMU got some momentum with 10-yard sophomore Breck Turner rush, followed by a pass interference penalty which put the ball at the RU 39. From there, with the clock running down, Roback fired completions to A. Porter and senior Jaron Johnson to get to the 16 with four seconds left. Fricano drilled the 33-yard kick as time expired, putting EMU’s lead at 10-3 at the half. Down the stretch, in addition to EMU not allowing a Rutgers first down in its final six drive, they held them to just 19 yard over those six drives, including three drives with zero net yards, and a total of 99 for the entirety of the half. The defensive dominance did not carry over for EMU during the first drive of the second half, as Rutgers notched four straight first downs to race down to the Eastern 20. Eastern stood tall after that, not allowing RU to get any further, and holding them to a 39-yard field goal to make it 10-6 early in the second half. Coming back the other way, Roback completed a long pass to Bailey II to get Eastern to midfield, and put him over

1,000 yards receiving in his EMU career. On the next play, EMU coughed up the ball on a rush, giving RU another short field. This time around, Rutgers used it to their advantage, scoring three plays later to give them their first lead of the game, 13-10, with 6:07 left in the third. The lead was short lived, as EMU found its stride on the ensuing drive, with Roback slinging it around the field. Completing passes to three different receivers for 54 yards, Roback led EMU all the way down to the Rutgers three, before being stonewalled on the goal line. Fricano’s second field goal, this one from 21 yards, knotted the game at 13 heading into the fourth quarter. A three-and out from Rutgers got the quarter started, giving Eastern an opportunity to retake the lead. Airing it out on the first play, Roback completed a 37-yard bomb to sophomore Mathew Sexton the Rutgers 46. From there, a pass interference penalty moved the ball to the 27. After a couple of short rushes, EMU faced third down on the 24. Roback remained calm, completing a 15-yard pass to Bailey II to put him over 100 yards on the day, and setting up first and goal. Once again, Rutgers tightened up in the redzone, holding Eastern to another field goal, which Fricano split through the uprights from 24 yards out, to make it 16-13 with 10:13 to go. EMU forced yet another three-and-out on Rutgers’ next drive, giving them an opportunity to build on the lead. The next Eastern drive started off promising, as they got to midfield after a long run from Vann, but the one first down was all they could get, giving the ball back to RU on their own seven with just under seven minutes to play. The Scarlet Knights then began to drive, steadily moving their way down the field with relative ease. Getting down to the EMU 27, Rutgers looked poised to at least tie the game, but Hoying had other ideas. For the second week in a row, the safety jumped a route, intercepting the ball with plenty of room to run. He hustled 71-yards the other way to set EMU up at the Rutgers five with 2:29 to go. Despite the excellent opportunity, Eastern did not go forward any further, instead leaving on the leg of Fricano. The Rutgers defense blocked the kick, leaving the score at 16-13 with 1:34 to play, and RU taking over at the EMU 14. With the hurry-up offense fully in effect, Rutgers completed back-to-back long passes to quickly get into Eagle territory at the 44 with just under a minute to go. A roughing the passer penalty one play later moved the ball up to the 27 and into field goal range. Rutgers returned the favor one play later, as a hands to the face penalty moved the ball back to the 40. On what would be the final play of the game, Harris came through with the game-sealing sack, the 6.5 of his career, to clinch the thrilling 16-13 victory.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University football team fell in double overtime to Mid-American Conference East Division favorite Ohio University, 27-20, Saturday afternoon, Sept. 23, at “The Factory” inside Rynearson Stadium. It was the first multi-overtime game for EMU since a four-overtime affair in 2004. Defense once again anchored the Eagles’ (2-1, 0-1 MAC) effort, with the Green and White holding the potent Bobcats (3-1, 1-0 MAC) offense to 373 total yards, while forcing two turnovers. Sophomore defensive back Brody Hoying led the EMU defensive charge with 10 total tackles, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. Senior Luke Maclean finished the game with a career-high two sacks and two and a half tackles for loss. He was also responsible for three quarterback hurries. Senior Chris Hendricks collected two tackles-for-loss, the best single-game mark of his career. On offense, senior quarterback Brogan Roback orchestrated the attack with 271 passing yards to 12 different receivers. Senior Sergio Bailey II led EMU in receptions with seven and had 82 yards and a score. Roback’s overtime TD to Bailey II marked the 40th of his career, making him just the third quarterback in EMU history to throw 40 touchdowns. Ohio drove 46 yards on the game’s opening drive, but was forced to settle for a 41-yard field goal when Maclean came up with a third-down sack that stalled the Bobcats’ possession. EMU struck back two drives later, capping off a 10-play, 39-yard drive with a sophomore Paulie Fricano 41-yard field goal, tying the score at three. The 41-yarder was the farthest of the season for Fricano. Eastern Michigan’s key first half moment came with 5:07 remaining, when Hoying forced and recovered a fumble and then returned it for 45 yards. The defensive play set up EMU’s offense with terrific field position, but the Eagles were forced to settle for three points yet again. Fricano’s second field goal of the day, this one from 31 yards out, put the Green and White ahead 6-3 with 1:25 to go in the first half. The Eagles looked poised to take a lead into the half, but the Bobcats seized the momentum just before the break, as they intercepted a Roback pass with 10 second left, and returned it for a touchdown to take a 10-6 lead at the halftime horn. Ohio added to its lead on its first possession of the second half, putting the first points of the half on the scoreboard with a 44-yard field goal to push its lead to 13-6. Eastern Michigan knotted the score at 13 with just under 11 minutes to go in the final period, when junior Ian Eriksen punched in a one-yard run to cap off a seven-play, 69-yard drive with a touchdown. After Roback turned in back-to-back completions for 12 and eight yards, respectively,

the Green and White reached into its bag of tricks. Facing second-and-two, Roback threw a screen pass to sophomore wide receiver Isaac Holder, who then fired a 34-yard pass to senior Johnnie Niupalau. The 34-yard reception was the longest of the season for Niupalau, and set the Eagles up for Eriksen’s one-yard leap into the endzone, his third touchdown of the season. On Ohio’s first play from scrimmage following the EMU touchdown, Hoying forced his second fumble of the day, and sophomore Kevin McGill recovered it to give the Eagles the ball. Unfortunately, for the Green and White, the offense was unable to find its groove, keeping the score knotted. After back-to-back three and outs, Ohio started a possession at the 6:30 mark, and began to march down the field. Chewing up two minutes of clock, the Bobcat drive stalled in EMU territory, forcing a 47-yard field goal. The kick sailed wide left, keeping the 13-all tally intact. Both teams wound having one more possession before the end of regulation, but neither drive resulted in points, forcing overtime. In the first OT session, Eastern Michigan wasted no time to start its scoring, as Roback connected with Bailey II on the first play from scrimmage with a 25-yard strike to put the Eagles ahead. The Bobcats struck right back with an eight-yard pass and catch, tying the score up at 20. On the ensuing possession for OU, quarterback Nathan Rourke connected with Cameron Odom on third down to put the visitors back ahead, 27-20. With its back against the wall, the EMU offense was stuffed on its last possession, gaining just eight yards and seeing a fourth down pass attempt flutter high and over the head of its intended receiver in the endzone, ending the game, 27-20, in favor of Ohio.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University football team battled hard, but ultimately fell in a 24-20 defeat to the University of Kentucky Saturday evening, Sept. 30, at Kroger Field. EMU and UK were deadlocked at 14 going into the half, but the Eagles were unable to overcome second half miscues in the four-point loss. Eastern’s (2-2, 0-1 MAC) defense carried the day for the fourth consecutive game, limiting UK’s (4-1, 0-1 SEC) offense to 228 yards of total offense, including just 53 on the ground. The Eagles actually out-gained the Wildcats by a final tally of 312-228. It was Eastern’s immense defensive pressure that was the catalyst, as EMU finished with 10 tackles for loss, including five sacks, both of which were season highs. Senior Ike Spearman (Saint John, Ind.-Lake Central) led EMU with eight tackles, while junior Jeremiah Harris and sophomore Maxx Crosby combined for two sacks each, both career-highs, while Harris also tallied a career-best 3.5 tackles for loss. One of the juniors’ sacks was a strip sack on the first play from scrimmage, the fifth forced fumble of his career. Offensively, the Eagles used the passing game to advance the ball for the most part, going for 299 through the air, including 256 from senior Brogan Roback to go along with a passing touchdown. The other 43 yards came from senior Jaron Johnson on a trick play, a TD pass to fellow senior Johnnie Niupalau. It was the first touchdown pass by a non-QB for EMU since 2010 and the longest pass of the season for the Eagles. Roback completed passes to eight different receivers, marking the fourth consecutive game he has completed a pass to at least eight different targets this season. Senior Sergio Bailey II was once again Roback’s favorite target, as he tied his career-high with eight receptions for 80 yards a score. The third EMU touchdown came from the legs of junior Ian Eriksen, his fourth of the season. The game could not have started out any better for the Eagles, as on the first play from scrimmage, J. Harris came around the edge and striped the ball out on a sack, which was recovered by senior Dion Dawson to set up EMU at the Kentucky 20-yard line. On EMU’s first play on offense, Roback found Bailey II down the middle for a touchdown strike to put the Eagles up 7-0 just 15 seconds into the game. It was the quickest score for EMU since returning the opening kickoff for a TD against Ohio, Oct. 19, 2013. Kentucky wasted no time evening the score back up on its ensuing drive, putting together an eight-play, 85-yard drive capped by a 20-yard touchdown pass to even the scoring early in the contest. Following the offensive explosion to begin the game, both teams failed to get any offensive momentum the rest of the first quarter, with both teams not mustering much of anything on two respective drives. EMU’s defense forced UK into two three and outs, highlighted by a sack from Crosby on the first one, and a vicious tackle for loss by junior Kyle Rachwal on the second, to keep it a 7-7 draw after one. On Kentucky’s first drive of the second quarter, the Wildcats engineered another eight-play sequence, this time for 71 yards, to gain their first lead of the contest, 14-7, with 10:48 until the end of the half. Facing its first deficit of the game, the Eagles used the aerial assault to quickly tie things up at 14. Roback began the drive by finding Eriksen and Johnson for gains of 26 and 14 yards, respectively, to move EMU to the UK 43. On the third play of the drive, Eastern reached into its bag of tricks as, on a screen pass to Johnson, he turned around and threw a 43-yard touchdown strike to Niupalau for the score. It was EMU’s longest touchdown pass of the season. UK came back on its next drive, looking for back-to-back scores, and looked poised to do so, getting down to EMU’s 35 before being stalled. Facing a 53-yard field goal, Kentucky’s kicker was accurate, but a few yards too short, keeping things knotted at 14 with 6:35 to go until the break. With good field position, Eastern advanced to midfield, but were stopped short of the 50-yard line, giving the ball back to UK after just two and a half minutes. With one more opportunity to try and break the tie, UK was unsuccessful after gaining just five total yards in six plays, highlighted by a huge sack from junior Kwanii Figueroa, forcing yet another punt. The kick rolled down to EMU’s four-yard line, and, with just one minute until halftime, EMU ran out the clock to keep it tied going into the half. Coming out of the break, both teams traded possessions without much to show for it, and EMU looked poised to gain

excellent field position after forcing a UK punt on their own 10-yard line, but the punt was muffed at EMU’s 42, and the Wildcats recovered setting up a prime opportunity for them. They turned the EMU miscue into three points 10 plays later on a 39-yard field goal, putting Kentucky back up, 17-14, with 6:17 left in the third. Both teams had short, unsuccessful drives that chewed the rest of the time in the quarter, keeping the score in place into the final quarter. To begin quarter number four, UK started with the ball on EMU’s 24, looking to add to the lead. As it had been all game, EMU’s defense was stout, forcing the Wildcat attack back 11 yards on Crosby’s second sack of the game, which resulted in an intentional grounding foul. Without gaining any of the yardage back, UK tried another long field goal, but this one was also short, setting up EMU at their own 35. After a three-and-out, Kentucky used special teams to its advantage again, blocking a punt and taking over on EMU’s 12. One play later, UK’s running back found the end zone to extend the Wildcat lead to 24-14 with just under 12 minutes to play. EMU’s offense continued to sputter, going three-and-out immediately after the score. EMU’s defense countered with a three-and-out of its own to get the ball back with about nine minutes to play. The Eagles found life on their third drive of the quarter, moving the ball well with long passes to Eriksen, sophomore Mathew Sexton, and Johnson, to move it into UK territory. With the ball at the 25, EMU went for three deep shots toward the end zone. The first two fell incomplete, while the third landed in the hands of a Kentucky defender, ending the scoring threat, and giving the Wildcats the ball at the Eagles’ 10 with five and a half to go. Deep in its own territory, Kentucky went backwards two yards as the EMU defense continued to shoot into the backfield for negative plays. Punting out of its own end zone, Eastern got a good return and set up shop at Kentucky’s 40 with 4:32 left on the clock. Roback found senior Antoine Porter on the second play to advance to the 25. A long Roback scramble, a UK penalty, and then a 13-yard pass to Bailey II placed EMU at the two. On the next play, Eriksen plunged into the end zone for his fourth rushing TD on the year. After a missed extra point, Eastern trailed 24-20 with two and a half minutes to play. Needing a miracle, EMU attempted the onside kick, but Kentucky recovered, giving them the ball with just one EMU timeout remaining. Eastern’s defense presented one more opportunity with a three-and-out on three rush attempts, giving the Eagles the ball at its own 12 with 44 seconds left. Despite a few long completions to get Eastern to the Kentucky 47, a last second heave to the end zone was picked off, sealing the 24-20 defeat.

TOLEDO, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) - For the third consecutive week, the Eastern Michigan University football team dropped a game by a single possession as it fell to Mid-American Conference West Division rival the University of Toledo, 20-15, Saturday afternoon, Oct. 7, inside the Glass Bowl. The Eagles (2-3, 0-2 MAC) had the ball down five with a minute to play, but a Rockets’ (4-1, 1-0 MAC) interception sealed the five-point defeat. The EMU defense held Toledo to its fewest point total of the season, as the Rockets came into the game averaging 42 points per game. It was also UT’s fewest points score since Sept. 12, 2015, vs. the University of Arkansas. Sophomore Vince Calhoun was the standout defensively, as he tallied a career-high 16 tackles, including 10 solos. It was the most tackles by an Eagle since 2015. EMU continued its presence in the offensive backfield, as they notched six tackles for loss, including four sacks. Sophomore Maxx Crosby registered two TFLs and a sack, while sophomore Brody Hoying and senior Luke Maclean added a sack apiece. Juniors Tyler LaBarbera and Desmond Kelly also added half a sack each, the first of their careers. Offensively, Eastern totaled 326 yards of offense, including 253 through the air and 73 on the ground. Senior Brogan Roback, in his final game in his home city, passed for 226 yards on 23 completions, and added two touchdowns. He now has 43 for his EMU career, tying him with Walter Church for second on the all-time EMU list. The veteran found nine different receivers, the fifth consecutive game he has completed passes to eight-plus targets, with senior Sergio Bailey II leading the way with four catches for 72 yards. The two scores were completed to fellow seniors, the first to Johnnie Niupalau, and the second to Antoine Porter (San Francisco, Calif.-Mission (College of SF)). They were the second of both of their respective seasons. On the ground, junior Ian Eriksen paced EMU with a season-high 54 yards on nine carries, good for an average of six yards per touch. Toledo received to start the game, and quickly drove into EMU territory on a pair of long passes. With first and goal to go, EMU’s defense stood tall, aided by an 11-yard Crosby sack to set up third and goal from the 18. After stopping a rush, UT settled for a 27-yard field goal to open the scoring at 3-0. On EMU’s first possession, it started with the ball on its own 43 following a penalty, and moved the ball just like the Rockets did. With a pair of passes from Roback to Bailey II and senior Jaron Johnson, EMU set up at the UT 33. That’s where the drive stalled, however, forcing a 50-yard field goal. The kick had the distance, but was wide, keeping it a three-point game. For the second consecutive drive, UT raced down the field, using a couple of personal foul penalties to get to EMU’s 11. For the second time as well, the Eagles stalled the drive before the goal line, forcing another short field goal. This time, the snap was botched and the kick was missed, keeping it 3-0 with just under three minutes remaining in the first quarter. Eastern put the three minutes of time to good use, going 80 yards in seven plays to get on the board with the first touchdown of the game. EMU got the drive started with a pair of runs by Eriksen for first downs to get to the EMU 43. A pass interference penalty moved the ball into UT territory and then a trick play, a pass of 27 yards from sophomore Isaac Holder to Bailey II, set up EMU at the Rocket 15. Later, on third and six, Roback found Niupalau for an 11-yard TD strike, but the extra point sailed wide, leaving the score at 6-3. Following back-to-back empty possessions that resulted in punts, UT took over at its own four yard line. The Rockets scooted down the field on a trio of long passes, getting to EMU’s 28. After advancing to the Eastern 15, EMU shored things up again, forcing the 35-yard field goal. The kick was wide left, the second miss of the game, keeping the Eagles ahead by three with 6:10 until halftime. After another EMU punt, Toledo started a drive at its own 48. Eastern forced third and long after a Crosby tackle for loss, but a pass interference bailed out the Rockets, keeping the drive alive. Toledo wound up taking full advantage, as, six plays later, UT punched in a one-yard run on fourth down to regain the lead, 10-6, which was the score that remained in the half. Eastern started the second half with its fourth straight punt, and UT took over at midfield looking to build on the lead. The Rockets worked their way down into the EMU red zone in just four plays, setting up first down and goal from the seven. After a couple of minimal gain plays, UT’s quarterback appeared to find the end zone on a scramble, but after review was ruled short. On fourth down and just inches from the goal line, EMU’s front line got a superior push, led by LaBarbera, to halt Toledo from scoring, and turning the ball over on downs. Another quick offensive possession, and short punt, gave the Rockets the ball back with a short field not long after the goal line stand. They needed just one play to capitalize, an 18-yard rush, to

score their second touchdown and push the EMU deficit to 17-6 with 7:51 left in the third. Facing its largest deficit of the afternoon, EMU’s offense got to work, starting with a 29-yard screen pass from Roback to junior Shaq Vann to set up EMU at the Toledo 39. A seven-yard pass to Johnson, and a short rush from Vann, gave Eastern another first down, but from there the drive went stagnant, forcing the field goal attempt. Sophomore Paulie Fricano drilled the 46-yarder, tying his career-high, to close the gap to eight, 17-9. Toledo’s ensuing possession had some legs, as UT got three straight first downs to advance to EMU’s 31. The Eagles then used back-to-back sacks from Hoying and Maclean to halt the drive, and force a punt. The kick got caught up in the wind, traveling just seven yards, allowing the Eagles to begin their drive at their own 28 with just a minute and a half until the fourth. EMU didn’t get anywhere with the drive, going three-and out to maintain the 17-9 score into the fourth. The Eagles forced their first three-and-out of the game to begin the fourth, and Eastern got the ball back early in the frame. A pair of passes to sophomore Dieuly Aristilde Jr. and Bailey II advanced EMU 30 yards into the Toledo side of the field. Vann then ran four times and caught two passes for a total of 35 yards to get EMU to the 12. On second down, Roback found A. Porter in the corner of the end zone for the score, making it a two-point game. The two-point conversion was initially ruled good, but after review was overturned, keeping the score 17-15 with just under 10 minutes to play. UT came back on their next drive with some quick strikes to get around midfield, but another sack, this time from D. Kelly and LaBarbera, kept UT from getting any further. Toledo punted once again, giving Eastern a chance to regain the lead with 6:54 remaining. Starting at its own nine, EMU got to the 32 after a late hit penalty. On third down, Roback’s pass up the middle would have been good for a first down, but the ball was deflected into the air and intercepted, giving UT the ball at the EMU 22 with 5:27 remaining. Toledo got down to a first and goal opportunity, but a third down pass in the end zone was broken up by sophomore Jalen Phelps to force a short field goal. UT nailed the 20-yarder to give the Rockets a 20-15 cushion with just under three minutes to go. With the game on the line, Roback and the offense went to work. The veteran completed passes to A. Porter and sophomore Mathew Sexton to get near midfield with just over a minute left on the clock. After plays for little gain, EMU had fourth and long, but Roback avoided pressure to get the first down with an 11-yard pass to Sexton. The clock ticked under a minute as Eriksen rushed for a long gain around the outside to the UT 32, but a holding call brought the ball back. On the very next play, Toledo jumped an out-route, and notched the game sealing INT, ending the contest with the 20-15 tally.

WEST POINT, N.Y. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University football team dropped another heartbreaking one-possession contest, this time by one point, 28-27, to Army West Point Saturday afternoon, Oct. 14, at Michie Stadium. The Eagles scored with less than a minute left to go down one, but the two-point conversion was stopped just an inch short to deal EMU its fourth straight close loss of the season. The Eagle offense highlighted the game for EMU, as it put up 364 total yards, its second-highest output of the season, including a season-high 135 yards on the ground. Leading the ground attack was junior Ian Eriksen who tallied the first 100-yard game of the season for an EMU back, finishing with 107 yards on 20 carries. It was the third 100-yard game of his EMU career, and put him over the 1,000-yards milestone for his career. In the passing game, senior Brogan Roback finished with 229 yards, including a career-high four touchdown passes to three different wideouts. On the receiving end, senior Sergio Bailey II finished one-yard shy of 100, finishing with 99 yards on career-high tying eight receptions and his first career two-touchdown game. The other two TD receptions were caught by senior Antoine Porter, the third of his season, and sophomore Mathew Sexton, the first of his career. Defensively, EMU faced Army’s triple option attack head on, as the Black Knights gained all 413 yards on the ground, going 0-for-5 through the air. Leading the charge was sophomore Vince Calhoun and junior Kyle Rachwal who had 12 and 11 stops, respectively. In addition, senior Jason Beck finished with seven tackles, which put him over 300 career tackles in his EMU career. After winning the coin toss, EMU took the ball and got to work, driving 75 yards in eight plays to strike first. Roback got things started with quick passes to junior Eddie Daugherty and Sexton for a first down. Then a 23-yard toss to Bailey II moved EMU into Army territory. Roback continued to air it out, completing a 12-yard pass to Sexton, which was followed by a 10-yard Eriksen rush to get to the 18. Two plays later, Roback found Bailey II in the corner of the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown strike, putting EMU on the board first. The touchdown gave Roback 44 touchdown passes for his EMU career, passing E-Club Hall of Famer Walter Church for second on the all-time Eastern Michigan list. The Black Knights responded immediately, embarking on a 14-play, 93-yard drive that chewed up nearly nine minutes to tie up the ballgame at seven apiece. With 2:49 left in the first quarter, EMU got the ball back on its second drive. EMU appeared to be stalled deep within their own territory on the ensuing drive, but on a third and long, Roback lobbed a pass, which Bailey II came down with for a gain of 19 yards and a first down. Two plays later, Eriksen scampered 23 yards, the longest rush from scrimmage this season for Eastern, to get to the Army 44 and run out the quarter. To start the second, EMU was backed up five yards on a penalty, but found pay dirt on the next play. Roback, with all day to throw, found A. Porter over the middle, and the wide out dragged a defender the final few yards for a 45-yard score. It marked the longest offensive play of the season for EMU, capping off the longest drive on the year, and put the Eagles back up, 14-7. The lead proved to be short lived, as Army went on another long drive, this time 75 yards in 11 plays, taking 6:12 off the clock. With 8:17 until halftime, the game was all-square, 14-14. The next drive for each EMU and Army resulted in their first respective punts, giving the Eagles the ball back with 2:40 until halftime. On third down and six, with the clock winding down, Roback looked down the middle, but was intercepted. Army returned the ball to midfield, where it took over with 1:26 left on the clock. After a few rushes and its first three passing attempts of the game, Army faced fourth and

eight from the EMU 33. The hail mary pass fell incomplete, keeping it 14-all into the half. Army started with the ball to begin the second half, and used a pair of long rushes to get to the Eastern 41. From there, EMU tightened up with a pair of tackles for loss from junior Jeremiah Harris and Derric Williams, to keep Army from advancing any further, setting up fourth down. In punt formation, Army faked, and passed down the middle, but it was dropped, giving Eastern the ball back on downs. Despite the good field position, Eastern was forced to punt after five plays, setting up Army at its own six with just under nine minutes left in the quarter. After two short rushes made it third and three, Army’s quarterback broke free on a rush, gaining 69 yards to get to EMU’s 18. Four plays later, Army found the end zone for the score, taking its first lead of the game, 21-14. Needing to keep pace, Eastern utilized the ground game to march its way down the field on the ensuing drive. Eriksen and sophomore Breck Turner combined for 37 yards, to go along with 12 and 14-yard passes to Bailey II and Sexton, respectively, to get the Eagles down to the Army 12 at the end of the third quarter. EMU faced third and six from the eight to start the final quarter, as Roback rolled out and found Sexton in the end zone for his third TD pass of the game, tying the game up at 21. The Black Knights responded to the EMU score with their longest drive of the game, spanning just under nine minutes. In 16 plays, all rushes, Army went 83 yards on the scoring drive, giving the Black Knights the lead back, 28-21, and leaving 5:06 on the clock for the Eagles. EMU got things started with a 10-yard pass to Bailey II, but were then stopped for short gains on back-to-back rushes, setting up third and three. Flushed out of the pocket, Roback threw up a prayer, which was hauled in by senior Jaron Johnson for a 17-yard gain, giving EMU a fresh set of downs at the Army 41. Two plays later, EMU faced another third down, this time third and seven. A pass interference call bailed the Eagles out, making it first down from the 23 with about two minutes to go. A nine-yard pass to J. Johnson, followed by rushes from Erisken moved the ball down to the Army eight. On the 11th play of the drive, Roback connected with Bailey II for his fourth TD pass of the game, and Bailey’s second. Playing for the win, Eastern ran an option play, but Eriksen was stopped inches shy of the goal line, keeping it a one-point game, 28-27, with 49 seconds left. The ensuing onsides kick was recovered by the Black Knights, and they ran out the clock to hand the Eagles the narrow defeat.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University football team dropped another heartbreaking overtime game in a 20-17 defeat to Mid-American Conference rival Western Michigan University, Saturday, Oct. 21, at “The Factory” inside Rynearson Stadium. It was the fifth-straight one-possession defeat for the Eagles (2-5, 0-3 MAC) this season, including the second loss that came in overtime. The biggest positive for EMU was the offense seeing its best yardage production of the season, as they set season-highs in total offensive (459), passing (308), and rushing (213). Leading the ground attack was junior Ian Eriksen who tallied a total of 93 yards on 24 carries. Sophomore Breck Turner chipped in another 39, while also notching his first rushing touchdown of the season, and the fifth of his career. In the passing game, senior Brogan Roback went 28-for-44 for a season-high 308 yards and one touchdown. It was the ninth-career 300+ passing effort for the veteran. For the sixth time in seven games, Roback targeted eight-plus wideouts, completing passes to 10-different players. Senior Antoine Porter had a career day, finishing with a career-best 10 catches for 93 yards. It was the first 10-catch performance for EMU since 2015. Junior Eddie Daugherty had his best game of the season, tallying three receptions for 72 yards, while senior Jaron Johnson notched the first touchdown catch of his EMU career. Defensively, senior Jason Beck and sophomore Brody Hoying led the charge with a career-high 13 and 12 tackles each, while sophomore Maxx Crosby tacked on a career-best seven tackles to go along with the lone sack of the game, as well as a QB hurry. The game started with back-to-back empty possessions that resulted in punts, which set the tone for most of the first half. The Eagles’ second drive started with a pair of passes to seniors Sergio Bailey II and Johnnie Niupalau, setting themselves up in Western’s territory. After a few rushes from Eriksen to move to the 34, EMU’s drive stalled setting up a fourth and 12 from the 28. The Eagles gambled, but it did not pay off, resulting in a turnover on downs. After another round of back-to-back empty possessions, the Broncos were able to breakthrough to begin the second quarter. The Broncos capped a five-play, 35-yard drive with a a 36-yard field goal for the first points of the game at the 12:44 mark of the second frame. On the ensuing drive, EMU looked at a three-and-out but the Eagles shocked Rynearson Stadium with a fake punt executed to perfection. A direct snap to junior Kyle Rachwal resulted in a 27-yard gain and a fresh set of downs. The Green and White continued to show a variety of play selections with a screen and reverse on back-to-back plays for consecutive first downs to get down to the WMU 21, but a fumble halted all momentum and a chance at getting on the board. Coming off the turnover, EMU’s defense kept the Broncos in their half of the field, ultimately forcing a fumble of their own. On a WMU rush, junior Justin Moody punched the ball out, and it was recovered by junior Jeremiah Harris at Eastern’s 47, giving the Eagles a short field. Capitalizing on Western’s error, Roback got the Eagles into Bronco territory with an 11-yard pass to Bailey. After a trio of plays resulted in fourth-and-three, Roback this time converted in the clutch, finding Johnson on a short pass, which he ran in for a 35-yard touchdown reception, giving EMU the 7-3 lead with just over six minutes until the half. A promising six-play Western Michigan drive was ultimately halted, setting the Eagles up on its nine with 3:43 until halftime. On the third play from scrimmage, a long Roback pass was picked off by WMU, giving them possession at their own 27 right before the half. Western used the momentum to get themselves in the red-zone after three plays. The Broncos then regained the lead two plays later on an 11-yard pass to go into half-time with a 10-7 advantage. The opening drive of the second half for WMU ended with a punt that pinned EMU at its own 11-yard line. After eight plays, the Eagles were able to break into Bronco territory when Roback tossed a 32-yard reception to A. Porter. Another pass to Porter got the Green and White within 25 yards of the goal line, but the drive was stalled and EMU settled for a 43-yard field goal from sophomore Paulie Fricano to tie the game at 10. The Broncos answered right back on the following drive, going 75 yards in eight plays, capped off by a seven-yard rush

to put WMU back on top, 17-10, midway through the third quarter. EMU’s next drive looked promising as the Eagles continued to make strides up the field. Turner converted a third-and-short with a 12-yard rush, then ran two more times for 12 yards combined and another first down. Then, on a pair of long passes to A. Porter and Daugherty, Eastern set up shop at Western’s 14. The drive came to an end, however, after Eastern lost its second fumble of the game. WMU came back in its next drive with some quick strikes to get around midfield, but, following the quarter break, it was unable to keep the momentum, forcing its fifth punt of the game, giving EMU possession at its own eight. Opening the drive, Roback completed a 21-yard pass to Daugherty. That, combined with a personal foul, moved Eastern to the 44 yard line. Back-to-back rushes by Eriksen for 32 yards advanced them further into WMU territory, but a pair of broken plays set up fourth-and-11 from the 24. Eastern decided to gamble on the fourth and long, and the risk paid off as Roback threw another long pass to Daugherty, this time for a 29-yard gain, making it first and goal from the three. On the next play, Turner rushed the final three yards for his first touchdown of the season to tie the game back up at 17 each. After an empty Western possession, Eastern thought they took the lead on an 82-yard reception from Roback to sophomore Mathew Sexton, but a pair of Eagle penalties pushed EMU back to a first-and-19 on its own nine yard line. The Eagles were able to gain a first down on a 29-yard pass to sophomore Bryce Kemp, but three-straight incomplete passes forced a punt with six minutes to go in regulation. The defense continued to shine, forcing the second Bronco fumble of the game on the following possession. As the WMU running back ran up the middle, he tripped on the turf and coughed up the ball, which was recovered by Hoying, setting the Eagles up on WMU’s 41. Despite the short field, Eastern went backwards, losing 18 yards in two plays to move them out of field goal range, and forcing a punt. Western chewed up the last three minute of the clock, taking nine plays to put them within field-goal range. With three seconds left on the clock, the Broncos’ 27-yard field goal attempt veered right, sending the game into overtime. The Green and White won the coin toss and elected to start on defense. The Broncos took the lead on their opening drive after a 21-yard field goal attempt split the posts. Looking for the win, the Eagles were in prime condition after two defensive penalties placed the ball at the eight. After a six-yard rush from Eriksen made it second-and-goal, WMU stepped up on the goal line, forcing a 24-yard field goal try, which was missed wide right, sealing the heartbreaking overtime defeat.
