Good run the last couple of weeks. Need to update record and will try to get that accomplished this week.
Tuesday:
Eastern Michigan -17.0 (6.0 Units)
Eastern Michigan 1H -9.5 (1.6 Units)
Western Michigan -1.0 (2.8 Units)
I like Western Michigan's run game a lot tonight. I think WMU is the most talented team in the MAC...certainly on offense. They average nearly 6.7 yds per play and have been rolling the last two weeks on the ground with 399 yds rushing against Bowling Green and 382 against Ball State. Ohio's rush defense gives up 5.4 yds per carry this year and 5.3 yds in conference. Best rushing attack they have seen since Louisiana IMO. Perhaps a small payback spot as well as Ohio embarssed WMU 59-14 last year. I don't read too much into revenge but there is that angle as well. WMU 41 Ohio 28
Eastern Michigan should throttle Akron tonight but they will need to be competent on the offensive line. Getting to a bowl game at EMU is a major accomplishment and at 4-5 they need this win tonight and either NIU or Kent State to get to a bowl game. Like Chris Creighton as a coach and they have bounced back well after poor performances under him in the last 3 years. But this is also a major fade of Akron. They have scored 9 points combined the last 4 weeks. The defense isn't horrible but the offense is terrible. 256 yds per game, 1.9 yds per carry, 39 sacks allowed, 10.2 points per game. Haven't had a pulse in the last 4 weeks and if EMU can get up 10-14 points then they will quit. I see this as a 35-7 type of game.
Gl to all.
