Ranked #122 in points allowed and rushing defense. Last in the MAC.

Hard to judge anything the offense does when they are always playing from behind.

Is this the most underachieving team ever at EMU???

No because only people on this board are naive enough to think that this program could have won games

It quite possibly could be. Don't forget about last year's team too.

The 2013 team has been outscored 410-180. The average points per game has been EMU 20 - OPPONENT 45.5. So, it is clear that the defense, the specialty of Coach English, hasn't even come close to doing the job it is supposed to do. Realistically, scoring 20 points a game ought to give you a fighting chance to win at least half of your games.

RE: Rankings
Last year we were outscored 451 to 256. The average points per game( ppg) was EMU 21.33 - OPPONENT 37.58. Remember, our record last year was 2-10. So, not a real huge difference either way from the 2012 version of the Eagles. Interesting thing - in 2011, when we went 6-6, we averaged 21.25 ppg while our opponents averaged 24.33 ppg. Yes, our opponents averaged more points per game than we did despite our going 6-6.

If we just had a defense that could limit our opponents to less than 20 ppg we could be a contender!

Have you seen our defense? Zach Terrell will look like Peyton Manning by the time the game is over.

I can't believe what's come of the Michigan MAC this year. 3 fan bases playing hot-potato with prospective wins. :smh:

Sad, isn't it? I agree with one of the posters on your board: they should cancel the Michigan MAC games and we all just drown our sorrows together.

RE: Rankings
I know some that would argue there is talent on our defense and its a matter of coaching. A new coach will mean a new defensive coordinator which is needed but we will need some immediate contributions from some new talent.

I like guys like Steal and O Conner and our LBs too maybe in time ie their senior years they'll be greatly improved but for right now its painful to watch.
