Unbelievably because of how hard it is to do OOC scheduling, we draw 'bye' for this week.
Gives the team the chance to celebrate yesterday's win, rest up, and prepare for Ohio.
And, yes, the team can watch Ohio play for themselves and 'scout' them in 'real time'.
For us, we get to check stats, etc. etc.
My guess, until we look at the stats, but I'd guess EMU may be a leader in FBS scoring defense. Twenty points in two games against two FBS opponents. Lot of FBS teams, like EMU teams of old, give up 21 points in a HALF.
And for our newbie fans, they might find it hard to believe that we used to have one of the worst defenses in FBS. Running backs would gash the line and the opposing team announcers would say: "See you later" or 'going to the house.' MAC fans would say: "Take the over in Vegas when EMU plays."
I'm dreaming of another bowl game already, although the 2017 schedule is not easy. MAC West was 5 - 1 yesterday with wins of Rutgers, Kansas, Nevada, UAB, etc.
