Indeed! This game could be regarded as a MAC to Power 5 coaching bowl and Creighton got spanked.

I have no love for McElwain but he has done a tremendous job in Mt. Pleasant. He, like Creighton, lost an all MAC defensive end early. He lost his number one QB already and has a very capable replacement. The 1 & 2 QB's from last year are playing tight end and backing up the new guys. He has a lot of talented of true freshmen as well.

Creighton is no longer on the first page of MAC coaches to recruit. He gets hired at Rutgers or Illinois only after Candle, McElwain and others say HELL NO first.

He doesn't win more than 6 or 7 games/year and he'll be at EMU as long as they want him. Yeah EMU is a tough job, but you get P5 jobs and make millions by winning championships (have to at least start with the MAC West).
