It was a tale of two halves in this rivalry, for Eastern Michigan at least. WMU was sound all night on both sides. In the first half, Cole Snyder did find his spots but Western Michigan made them work for it. At 17/19 for 3 touchdowns in the first half, the Eagles got sloppy and allowed a huge kickoff return as time expired to have this one go into half at 21-21. It was a seemingly back breaking momentum swing, but the Eagles still scrapped in the 2nd half.
Eastern Michigan was able to force a turnover in the 3rd quarter and take back the lead. There was no panic in Western Michigan though. They continued to work their offense, and Cole Snyder would erase his great 1H with 3 interceptions in the 2nd half. This allowed Western Michigan to attack on the ground, and finish their drives with 7 points. Once WMU tied this one back up at 28-28, they seized the moment to win the rivalry 38-28. Eastern Michigan 2nd half turnovers ensured the back and forth was over. GG sammy
