College Football Preview: No. 114... Eastern Michigan!
Jun 08, 2007 | 9:58AM | report this

2nd preview of the day and my 3rd MAC preview overall. They weren't very good last year and they hail from Michigan, they are the Eastern Michigan Eagles.

Eastern Michigan Last Season: (1-7) 1-11 last in MAC.

Offense: You may be wondering why I have these guys ahead of Buffalo because they have a worse record. Well, unlike Buffalo, these guys were in most of their games. In fact, they lost 6 of their games by an average of 8, so this team is very close to getting a bowl berth. One of the main reasons they weren't very good last year was that they had some QB trouble but now it looks like they have that solved. Andy Schmitt, a sophmore, is the projected QB and should hold that position for the season. That's where they hit a road block though because the lost their top 2 receivers and the RB situation is a mess. That could be a problem for the season.

Defense: This has always been a weakness for EMU, but hopefully will improve. LB Daniel Holtzclaw will have to lead the team because he may be their only bright spot. Holtzclaw had some kind of season last year, getting 114 tackles. The D-Line will be weak, they are too small, so the LB core should get some more action.

Schedule-
Sept. 1 at Pitt
Sept.8 Ball State
Sept. 15 at No. Illinois
Sept. 22 Howard
Sept. 29 at Vanderbilt
Oct. 6 at Michigan
Oct. 13 at Ohio
Oct. 20 Northwestern
Oct. 27 Western Mich.
Nov. 3 at Toledo
Nov. 9 Bowling Green
Nov. 17 at Central Mich.

Prediction: Most likely 2-3 wins. Howard for sure and maybe Toledo and Bowling Green at the end of the year.

6 down, 113 to go

Past teams-
Duke
Temple
Florida International
Buffalo
Utah State

ABOUT ME


detroitsports
Oh let's see here... I was an all around athlete in my younger days. I have been to many Tigers and Lions games, will try to make to at least 1 Red Wing game in my lifetime. I like smelling my own farts for enjoyment and like listening to R&B and rap. I think Rasheed is retarted and McGrady is the best in the league when he's healty. I think the Tigers will make the World Series this year and every year in the future. One more thing... testicles... that is all.
