The Eastern Michigan Eagles hit the road tonight for the first time since nearly upsetting Georgia Southern on the road 3 weeks ago in Coach JBM’s first game not only at the helm of the Eagles, but in his first NDL game ever. The Eagles gave up some early rushing yards, but settled in nicely behind some early first quarter turnovers.
For the second game in as many weeks, the Eagles dominated the turnover battle, this time 8-0. For the second straight week, the Eagles did not turn the ball over on offense.
When asked about his offenses performance this week, JBM1031 had to say: “well like I said last week, when you win the turnover battle, good things happen; when you don’t turn the ball over at all, great things happen. I’m very proud of the way BOTH of our QBs played tonight.”
When asking Coach JBM about his defense tonight, he offered: “well it’s funny to be these are separate questions. Of course the defense played well, especially at corner. I thought the defense dictated how we played on offense. That’s a good football team across from us. They do alot of mismatching, alot of confusing pitches, I’m proud of our guys for reading our keys and staying true to what we practiced.”
“Thats a great football team we played tonight. They were physical with the run. I respect their HC and wish his ball club the best going forward.”
When asked about next week, coach JBM offered: “do you believe?”
A lot of things can cause a game to be lopsided. Come out flat, bad playcalls, not protecting the ball...this was a perfect example...
Offensively ODU turned it over 8 times...not many wins happen when that happens.
May need more time on the practice field, a lineup change, something...we need to help the defense by upholding our end of the deal.
EMU came out strong, kept their foot on the gas, and earned the win.
GG and Good luck the rest of the way.
