Rockets were without 4 starters:
DE Tuzar Skipper
RG Yazeed Atariwa
RB Terry Swanson
WR Cody Thompson(lost on first drive).
Toledo has come back to the pack. They were the clear cut favorites to start the season, but I think they're a little worse than initially thought, and everyone else is a little bit better(Except WMU. They are what we thought). Losing Thompson really brings the Rockets back to a 3 or 4 team race.

We are a lot better than initially thought. Who would've thought that our defense would be playing like this? Very special indeed. If we can minimize the offensive and special teams screw ups, we should be favored every game.

It sounds incredible to type this but EMU is now the best MAC football program in Michigan!

Not sure how you can say that yet. They are 0-2 in the MAC and lost to Ohio whom CMU just beat. I think WMU is #1 and CMU slightly ahead of EMU. We will see.

Dear george14,
Comparison scores for future games is never a good way to judge where teams are right now, or where they will be. That's the old, old, statement, that we beat the team, that beat the team, that beat the number one team in the country. So, we should be number one. You are correct on one point. We shall see.
