Eastern Michigan Predictions
Zero Punts. 658 total yards of offense. 185 yards passing and 180 yards rushing from number 12. Is it 2011? Nope, it just the Huskies offense getting back to what they do best. Unfortunately, the defense looked about as bad as it did in 2011, too.
Half the season has already been played and I still don't know what to expect each week. Which Drew Hare will we see? When (or will) Anthony Maddie come into the game? Will the D-line get pressure? The offense was near perfect last week, so I don't have much to say about them. Let's hope no one else get's injured. The defense needs to get it together and quick. How do they keep getting worse each week? The LBs always seem to leave the middle of the field open anyways, can one of them blitz instead?
EMU has been two different teams this year. They are completely pathetic on the road averaging 7.4 points per game. At home, they are 2-0 averaging 33.6 points. To be fair they have played Florida and MSU on the road. Still, EMU is giving up on average almost 40 points per game.
Drew Hare won't get 180 yards rushing again, but will rush for at least 75 yards. Stingily will break 100 yards with two TDs, and ACRB and Huff will each have over 50 yards with a TD each. Da'ron will get his signature long TD pass. Wedel will miss more kicks.
EMU will prove to still be EMU and have trouble scoring more than 21 points. In their game against Buffalo, they got three turnovers late in the game. I don't see Hare throwing two picks.
NIU- 45
EMU- 16
I look forward to my 'Dear timxlydon' response.

RE: Eastern Michigan Predictions
I haven't made a prediction the last two weeks because I really had no idea what to expect. I think we take care of business this week though.
NIU 49
EMU 20

EMU is 125th in scoring offense and 123rd in scoring defense. It's quite possible our defense actually gets a stop this week. Can't wait.

So the FCS team that loss to UMASS by 22 is going to beat NIU by 11.

RE: Eastern Michigan Predictions
Based on our last 3 games, I just don't see a blowout. Our D has some growing up to do. We don't cover the spread, but hey, a win is a win
Now Ball State and Toledo? could be very challenging
