Welcome to “The Factory”

The Factory Toughness. Pride. Resilience. These key words have come to describe first-year Eastern Michigan University Head Football Coach Chris Creighton’s program as they prepare for the 2014 campaign. They are also terms befitting the proud residents of southeastern Michigan and their hardworking demeanor. Inspired by this region of the state and the student-athletes’ own backgrounds, the team has challenged itself to be “E Tough,” committed to great effort, sacrifice and triumphing in the face of adversity. In this spirit, the team has nicknamed Rynearson Stadium “The Factory,” a place where coaches and staff will go to work each day to help “E Tough” student-athletes become scholars, leaders, champions and impact men. “The Factory” will be highlighted by Division I Football’s first gray FieldTurf playing surface for the fall season. Since taking over reigns of EMU Football in December 2013, Creighton has rallied the program to "close the gap" between its current status and the pursuit of its true potential. He has studied the school, its surroundings, recruiting base and the current student-athletes. The one common thread throughout has been an uncommon ‘toughness’ that permeates the program. "We are proud of who we are, where we are from and what we represent," Creighton added. "We know that being a part of the Eastern Michigan football team requires a great commitment. We will train, practice and play with an uncommon intensity. The bonds that form the team are incredibly deep. Game days will be an expression of this powerful experience and that is why we will play with such deep passion and resolve." In this spirit, the program’s E Tough mentality represents:

intense winter workouts in 2014. Ron McKeefery, Director of Sports Performance, challenged the team to an outdoor practice on the snow-covered Rynearson Stadium field rather than the warm confines of their indoor practice facility. True to their E Tough demeanor, the team accepted the challenge. Throughout each drill of the bitter cold practice Creighton delivered the message that EMU Football has the will to compete against "anyone, anytime and anywhere… even on a parking lot covered with broken glass." Inspired by his team’s toughness and commitment that day, Creighton’s idea of an “EMU Gray” field was born and soon shared with administrators. The new look within Rynearson Stadium, and moniker, “The Factory” will serve as visual and name recognition for the program’s ideals. They are a constant reminder to the student-athletes that being E Tough means coming ready to roll up their sleeves and to never give in or let up. "Our colors are green and white but our collars are blue," said Creighton. "The Factory is where our coaching staff goes to work and our players develop. It is our home and one that we will protect. When opponents come to the Factory we want to make it known that they are in for a 60-minute fight. Our goal is to make it one

of the toughest places to play in the MidAmerican Conference." The turf inside Rynearson Stadium will be replaced this July. Utilizing the colors gray, green and white, the Block E logo will be at the 50-yard line while the logo for the MAC will adorn the field as well. The playing surface will be gray with white hashmarks and numbers, while the end zones will be green with the word "EASTERN" on the northside and "EAGLES" on the southside in white. Southeastern Michigan has long been viewed as one of the most significant manufacturing centers in the country, and the iconic ‘Automotive Capital of the World.’ Despite battling difficult times in recent years, local communities’ toughness and resilience has been on display, as the region is experiencing a dramatic rebirth. EMU football student-athletes come from these communities and have brought this toughness to the team. A total of 34 members of the 2014 squad are from the state of Michigan and 22 are from the Southeastern Michigan region. Ypsilanti has its own proud history in the automobile and manufacturing industries. The city was the home of Apex Motors, Preston Tucker and his Preston ’48, and the last Hudson automobile dealership. The nearby Willow Run manufacturing complex played a critical role in producing B-24 “Liberator” heavy bombers in the early years of World War II. It was also at this location that Rose Will Monroe, the film and poster representation of “Rosie the Riveter,” actually worked as a riveter before becoming the manufacturing icon of the era.

Team first Obsessed with getting better Unwavering in adversity Great effort Heart The concept of the “EMU Gray” field was born during one of the squad's notoriously 8

Home of the “EMU Gray” Turf

The Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics formally announced June 19, 2014, renderings and plans for and of the new FieldTurf Revolution surface that will be installed at Rynearson Stadium. The state-of-theart surface will officially debut on Aug. 30 when the Eagles' football squad opens the 2014 season against Morgan State University. Construction on the project will begin in July, as the school will implement a new color scheme with the surface as well. Utilizing the colors gray, green and white, the Block E logo will be at the 50-yard line while the logo for the MAC will adorn the field as well. The playing surface will be gray with white hashmarks and numbers, while the end zones will be green with the word "EASTERN" on the northside and "EAGLES" on the southside in white. In total, 48,340-square feet gray FieldTurf will be laid along with 40,168square feet of green. The nation's leader in artificial turf surface, FieldTurf will be leading the project utilizing their state-of-the-art FieldTurf Revolution surface, which is currently used by the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks in the NFL and Ohio State University and the University of Notre Dame in the NCAA.

“FieldTurf is proud to continue our long-standing relationship with Eastern Michigan and be joining them in creating turf history,” said FieldTurf President Eric Daliere. “We pride ourselves on delivering innovative and high quality synthetic playing surfaces and are looking forward to see the Eagles start a new era.” Eastern Michigan joins other football schools such as Boise State, Eastern Washington, Central Arkansas, New Haven and Lindenwood-Belleville who have departed from the traditional green turf. Boise State began the innovation in 1986. “The Blue,” as it is known by fans, has been the only nongreen playing surface in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) until EMU’s installation of the “EMU Gray” surface this fall. In NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) football, Eastern Washington employs an all-red playing surface, while Central Arkansas sports a purple and gray alternating tone. In Division II, New Haven installed a blue field, while NAIA representative Lindenwood-Belleville alternates red and gray colors on their gridiron. Rynearson stadium has featured artificial turf since 1991 with the most recent surface installed in 2005.

Turf Facts • Construction began in July 2014 and with an expected completion date in early August. • EMU is just the second Football Bowl Subdivision team to play on a non-green playing surface. • Other non-green football playing fields include Boise State, University Eastern Washington University, Lindenwood University-Belleville, the University of Central Arkansas and the University of New Haven. • The field is comprised of 8,340-square feet gray FieldTurf along with 40,168-square feet of green. • Rynearson Stadium has featured artificial turf since 1991 with the previous surface having been installed in 2005.

Community Service

Eastern Michigan University Head Football Coach Chris Creighton has yet to coach a game for the Eagles, but he continues to endear himself to the Ypsilanti community. As a part of his program, Creighton stresses the importance of giving back as part of his team’s yearly goals. Collectively, EMU student-athletes from the 21 varsity sports participated in approximately 2,000 volunteer hours during the 2013-14 school year. Across the Department of Athletics, a new initiative with the 2nd & 7 Foundation was established to help "tackle illiteracy.” Some of the highlights of this year’s new initiative included: • Six different Ypsilanti elementary schools were visited • 24 total second grade classrooms were visited • 700 second grade students were given books by student-athletes. • Over 200 student-athletes participated in these elementary school visits In addition to the efforts in the local elementary schools, the football team participated in the first annual EMU Victory Day on June 27. The coaches and student-athletes hosted 22 cognitively and physically impaired children at Rynearson Stadium. The children participated in football related activities and each of them were presented with a medal at the end of the day. The team also took part in the American Heart Association Heart Walk on May 10, to help raise money and awareness for heart disease. Additionally, Creighton, along with four staff members and seven studentathletes took part in the Sixth Annual Ford Lake Frozen Leap to help raise money for local charities. With wind-chill temperatures in the teens it still did not discourage the more than 50 participants from jumping into Ford Lake. In total, the event brought in more than $15,000 which was split between Growing Hope, Ele’s Place and Dollars For Scholars. The EMU football group, nicknamed the Soaking Eagles, featured Campbell Allison, Mike Brown, Gabriel Guilbee-Rodriguez, Lincoln Hansen, Alex Jones, Pat O’Connor and Andrew Wylie. Representing the staff were Creighton, Assistant Coach Todd Frakes, Director of Sports Performance Ron McKeefery, Assistant Athletics Director/Sports Medicine Steve Nordwall and Assistant Coach Jimmy Williams.

EMU Did You Know? One of the cornerstones of the Eastern Michigan University athletic program, Dr. Lloyd W. Olds, is the man responsible for the invention of the striped referee shirt used today. Olds was a member of EMU’s faculty for 42 years and was a coach, athletic director and head of intramurals. While an undergraduate student in 1914, Olds began refereeing high school basketball games. “The referee often looked very much like a player,” Olds said, “so the lads often threw the ball to me or bounced it off my head. I had a knitting concern make up a special shirt for me. The shirt had broad black and white stripes. I took plenty of ribbing when I first appeared in it but the idea caught on among both basketball and football officials.” That striped shirt is now a universal symbol of the authority of game officials throughout the world. Olds retired from EMU after serving the institution he loved for 42 years. He died in 1982. The Olds-Robb Student Recreation/Intramural Complex on the EMU campus is a fitting memorial to the man of stripes.

Head Coach Chris Creighton Head Coach

Chris Creighton First Year at EMU • Kenyon, 1991 Follow coach on twitter: @Coach_Creighton

Chris Creighton was named as the 37th Head Football Coach at Eastern Michigan University, Dec. 11, 2013, by Vice President/ Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Heather Lyke. Creighton will start his first season as the head man at EMU in the 2014 season. The 45-year-old Creighton built Drake University into a consistent power in the Pioneer Football League, sharing the conference crown during the 2011 and 2012 campaigns. During his 17-year head coaching career, he has accumulated eight conference titles and an all-time record of 139-46 (.764 winning percentage). He departed Drake with the highest winning percentage in school history (.667) after also posting 63 wins as the head coach at Wabash College and 32 at Ottawa University. “It is with great pride that we introduce Chris Creighton as our new head football coach,” Lyke said. “In Chris, Eastern Michigan will find an extraordinary leader who will be a great ambassador for our University. During the search process, Chris’ focus on positively impacting the lives of our student-athletes and building a championship program was most impressive. As a proven winner and head coach, Chris’ experience with creating and sustaining success will inspire our student-athletes to elevate our football program to a championship level.” “I want to sincerely thank Heather Lyke, President Martin and the Board of Regents for entrusting me with the leadership of the Eastern Michigan University football

program,” said Creighton. “It is both a huge opportunity and responsibility, and I am fired up about it. My vision is to make playing football at Eastern Michigan one of the most incredible experiences of our players’ lives. I cannot wait to meet the team and start a new journey with them.” In his six seasons at the helm of the Bulldogs, Creighton racked up a 35-13 (.729) record in Pioneer Football League action and a 31-9 (.775) record the last five seasons. Just the seventh DU coach to win 40-or-more games and the fastest to do so, Creighton needed just 60 games to accomplish the feat. In his time at Drake, Creighton boasted a 30-5 home record and a 21-2 home conference record, going undefeated against five conference opponents. Drake had an 11-game home win streak during Creighton’s tenure as well as winning 16straight home conference games with him at the helm. In 2013, the Bulldogs finished with a 6-5 record for their 10th consecutive winning season. Four players earned conference first team honors, five were named to the second team and two garnered a spot on the honorable mention team. Drake led the Pioneer Football League with 10 studentathletes earning spots on the Academic AllPFL teams. In 2012, he led the Bulldogs to their second straight Pioneer Football League title and the sixth PFL championship in program history with an 8-3 record and a 7-1 mark in league play. The 2012 team was led by one of his star pupils in record-setting quarterback Mike Piatkowski. The signal caller set nearly every Bulldog single-season and career passing mark under Creighton’s tutelage. Seventeen Bulldogs earned All-PFL honors

following the 2012 championship and six were named to the PFL All-Academic Team, including three student-athletes that also garnered CapitalOne/CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict honors. A school-record 63 Bulldogs were also named to the PFL Academic Honor Roll. In 2011, Creighton’s fourth Bulldogs team won nine games and tied for the Pioneer Football League title with a 7-1 conference record. It was Drake’s fifth PFL crown and first since 2004. The Bulldogs’ head coach was recognized for the job he did by being named one of 20 finalists for the 2011 Eddie Robinson Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Coach of the Year Award. A league-leading 18 Bulldogs received All-PFL honors and a PFL-best nine Drake student-athletes were named Academic All-PFL. In addition, a thenschool record 61 Bulldogs were named to the PFL Academic Honor Roll for achieving a grade-point average of 3.0 or above. The energetic but veteran coach was named a winner of the Giant Steps Award presented by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports as part of National Student-Athlete Day on April 6, 2011. Creighton, awarded in the Coaching category, was one of just five 2011 winners of the Giant Steps Award, given annually to individuals who use sport to positively affect social change, actualizing the mission of the NCAS. The awards honor studentathletes, athletic administrators, civic leaders, coaches, parents, organizations, and other individuals who demonstrate an outstanding ability to manage life on and off the field, and who demonstrate a commitment to the betterment of society. During his distinguished career, Creighton has taken great pride in the studentathlete experience that transcends to the

"I have a vision and I want to make the experience of playing football at Eastern Michigan University one of the most incredible experiences of their lives.” - Chris Creighton

Head Coach Chris Creighton football field and the classroom. In his career, Creighton has taken his teams on three overseas trips, including a 2011 trip to Tanzania, to go along with ventures to Austria and Panama while head coach at Division III Wabash. Drake’s two-week experience in Africa in 2011 for the inaugural Global Kilimanjaro Bowl included significant service projects in orphanages and schools, the ascension of 19,340-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro and a victory over a Mexican collegiate all-star team in the Kili Bowl-the first game of American football played on African soil. With that trip setting the foundation for the Bulldogs’ 2011 season, the team adopted the theme “Tupande Kileleni,” a Swahili term that translates to “Let’s climb to the summit.” The summit, for Drake, became the quest to perform to its full potential and symbolized the climb to the top of the Pioneer Football League standings, which it achieved. The 2010 Bulldogs featured a defense that ranked sixth in the nation among FCS schools (2nd PFL) in rush defense (94.2), eighth (3rd PFL) in sacks (3.0) and 18th (2nd PFL) in tackles for loss (7.4). In addition, the special teams excelled in punt coverage (5th NCAA FCS/1st PFL, 3.4), kickoff coverage (5th NCAA/1st PFL, 16.1) and punt return average (15th NCAA/1st PFL; 13.53). Creighton’s Bulldogs also featured eight players named to the Academic All-PFL team (three 1st team, five 2nd team) and a then-school-record 55 earning a place on the PFL’s Academic Honor Roll. In 2009, picked to finish sixth in the preseason coaches’ poll, Creighton guided Drake to an 8-3 record, including a 6-2 thirdplace finish in the Pioneer Football League. Drake matched its best nine-game start in history (8-1) that year, while riding a sixgame mid-season winning streak.

“Winning is a by-product of doing things the right way. There is a gap between where we are and our potential; we are going to wake up every day finding a way to close that gap.” - Chris Creighton Creighton’s first Drake club in 2008 went 6-5 and finished in a tie for fourth in the PFL. Ranked fourth among all active NCAA Division III football coaches in career winning percentage upon his hire at Drake, Creighton served as head coach at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Ind. from 200107 where he constructed a 63-15 record (.808) with his teams winning four North Coast Athletic Conference championships, while competing in three NCAA Division III playoffs. During his final three years at Wabash, Creighton led the Little Giants to a 30-5 record (.857) including three-straight league championships and appearances in the 2005 and 2007 NCAA Division III playoffs. Wabash posted an 11-2 record in 2007, competing in the NCAA Division III playoffs while being ranked No. 8 in the final NCAA Division III coaches’ poll. Wabash went 12-1 in 2002 and 11-1 in 2005, capping both seasons with appearances in the NCAA Division III playoffs. As offensive coordinator at Wabash, Creighton’s teams averaged 35 points per game with the multiple offense producing the school’s all-time leading rusher and passer. Three starting quarterbacks received All-America honors. Under Creighton, Wabash won conference championships in 2002, ‘05, ‘06 and ‘07. He coached 83 all-conference players, including

seven who earned conference player of the year honors, along with 13 All-Americans. Creighton was named North Coast Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 2002, ‘05 and ‘07, as well as the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1997. Creighton was head coach at Ottawa (Kan.) University from 1997-2000, compiling a record of 32-9 (.780). The San Francisco, Calif. native produced one of the greatest single season turnarounds in NAIA history during his first year at Ottawa in 1997. Inheriting a team that posted a record of 1-8 the previous season, Creighton guided his club to a 9-2 finish en route to capturing its first Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference title since 1972. He also led Ottawa to a conference championship in 2000 along with appearances in the NAIA playoffs in ‘97 and 2000. Creighton served as offensive coordinator at Concordia (Ill.) from 1991-92 and Manchester (Ind.) from 1993-96 before becoming head coach at Ottawa. In 1993, Creighton was the head coach and quarterback of the Limhamn Griffins in Malmo, Sweden, as he helped guide the franchise to its first national championship. As an All-America quarterback, Creighton led Kenyon (Ohio) College to its only North Coast Athletic Conference title in 1989 and was named conference player of the year after setting single-season conference records for passing yardage (2,843) and touchdowns (29). He was inducted into the Kenyon College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008. Creighton earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Kenyon College in 1991 and a master’s degree from Concordia (Ill.) University in 1993. Creighton is the first active head coach to be hired at Eastern Michigan since Jim Harkema in 1983. Harkema was the head coach at Grand Valley State University (197382) before taking over the EMU program and leading it to its only Mid-American Conference Championship in 1987 and last bowl appearance. Chris and his wife, Heather, have two daughters, Hallie and Kate, and a son, Luke.

Kalen DeBoer Offensive Coordinator • Quarterbacks First Year at EMU • Sioux Falls, 1998

Entering his first year at EMU is Kalen DeBoer, who came to Ypsilanti after spending the past four years at Southern Illinois University. DeBoer will serve as the team’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Prior to his stint at SIU, DeBoer served as the head coach at the University of Sioux Falls, where he led one of the most dominant programs in the nation. A threetime NAIA National Coach of the Year, DeBoer compiled an astonishing 67-3 (.957) record and guided USF to three national championships. In 2013, the Saluki offense led the Missouri Valley Football Conference with 231.8 passing yards per game, the fourth highest total in school history. SIU’s 25 passing touchdowns on the season tied for the third highest total in school history. The offense was led by senior quarterback Kory Faulkner, who ranked 32nd in the nation in passing yards per game. SIU also led the MVFC in first downs (20.5/game) and third down conversions (49.2%). SIU totaled over 400 yards of offense in six of its first seven games before Faulkner suffered an injury with a second-half lead against No. 1 North Dakota State. His backup, redshirt freshman Ryan West, stepped in to throw two touchdown passes in his first start and helped SIU to victories in three of the last four games. Under DeBoer’s tutelage, tight end MyCole Pruitt was named to the 2013 American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) FCS All-America team while John Lantz developed into an All-MVFC receiver. DeBoer’s offense set a Saluki Stadium record with 565 yards of total offense in its game against Southeast Missouri State in 2012. That eclipsed the previous record, which was set by DeBoer’s offense in 2010 when the Salukis put up 508 yards of total offense against Indiana State in the final game of the season. During the 2011 campaign, the Salukis ranked third in the nation with an average of 183.1 rushing yards a contest while finishing third in the MVFC with 377.8 yards per game of total offense. Jewel Hampton rushed for 1,121 yards -- the second tailback at SIU to surpass the 1,000-yard plateau in DeBoer’s offense. Bryan Boemer also developed into the Rimington Award winner, which is presented to the nation’s premier center.

In 2010, his first season with SIU, the offense recorded five games with more than 400 yards of total offense and had 34 plays that went for 20 yards or longer (eight rush, 26 pass) on the year. That year the Saluki offense averaged 30.1 points and 378.2 yards of total offense per game behind a balanced attack. SIU ran for 189.5 yards per game and threw for 188.7. In total, the Salukis beat 10 Top 25 opponents during DeBoer’s tenure. DeBoer arrived in Carbondale, Ill. following the 2009 season after compiling a 67-3 (.957) record during five seasons at Sioux Falls. DeBoer won four Great Plains Athletic Conference Championships, 50-straight home games and 29-straight games overall in his final two seasons. He also boasted a 17-2 record in the playoffs. That winning streak was the longest in the nation at any level in college football at the time. His teams won back-to-back NAIA National Championships in 2008 and 2009, and adding in his 2006 national championship, DeBoer had as many national championships as games lost during his five-year tenure as USF’s head coach. Under his direction, the Cougars averaged 51.7 points per game in 2009 and scored no less than 25 points in all 15 games. USF scored 40 or more points in 13-of-15 games and also put up 76 and 80 points in wins. Using a balanced attack, USF averaged 487.5 yards of total offense (256.1 rushing and 231.4 passing) in his final season as head coach. During the 2009 season, USF racked up 775 points for the most points ever scored in a single year at the NAIA level. The total also ranks third-most in college football history at any level. In addition, that squad ranked second in the NAIA at 487 yards per game as it upset Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) foe North Dakota, 28-13. DeBoer coached three NAIA National Players of the Year in quarterbacks Lorenzo Brown (2009) and Chad Cavender (2007) and running back Nick Kortan (2002). As a head coach, DeBoer coached 18 first team AllAmericans and 41 first team all-conference honorees at USF. He also helped develop seven student-athletes

into All-Americans while acting as the offensive coordinator. A graduate of USF, DeBoer played for the Cougars from 1993-96, where he was an All-American wide receiver. He set school records for receptions (234), receiving yards (3,400) and touchdown catches (33). Following his playing days, he became a student assistant for Sioux Falls under coach Bob Young in 1997. From 2000-04, he served as USF’s offensive coordinator and succeeded Young as head coach in 2005. At the age of 32, he led Sioux Falls to the 2006 national championship. He and his wife, Nicole, have two daughters, Alexis and Avery.

Brad McCaslin Defensive Coordinator • Inside Linebackers First Year at EMU • Hastings, 1995

Entering his first year at EMU is Brad McCaslin, who came to Ypsilanti after spending the past two years at Drake University. McCaslin will serve as the team’s defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach. A proven winner, McCaslin has been a part of teams that have posted winning records in 15 of his 16 seasons. During that span, the squads won seven conference championships and posted a 68.9 winning percentage (124-56). Last year, McCaslin’s defense helped the Bulldogs to a top-15 national ranking in first down defense (third - 173), rushing defense (fifth - 94.9 yds/gm), scoring defense (10th - 19.5 ppg) and total defense (11th - 319.6 yds/gm). In the team’s final four games in 2013, Drake’s defense allowed just 14.3 points per game and 241 yards per game. Additionally, the defense forced 12 turnovers during that span while holding opponents to just 33.3 rushing yards per game. The Bulldogs had a pair of defenders earn All-Pioneer Football League First Team honors in linebacker John Hugunin and defensive back Mike Ratelle after the pair earned second team honors in 2012. Hugunin led the PFL in tackles with 10.3 tackles per game and ranked 13th nationally. All told, he racked up 113 total tackles (67 solo) with a pair of fumble recoveries. Ratelle reprised his role as one of the top safeties in the PFL with 65 tackles, the second most on the team, and a team-high three interceptions and eight passes broken up. His 11 total passes defended ranked fourth in the PFL while his three interceptions were tied for sixth. Part of the squad’s resurgence was that McCaslin charged his defense with the task of forcing three turnovers per game. The Drake defense forced 32 turnovers during his two-year stint in Des Moines, Iowa, with 21 resulting in points for the Bulldogs, four others ending games, and two others ending the first half. McCaslin joined the Drake football program as defensive coordinator in February of 2012 and

immediately helped make Drake one of the top defenses in the PFL. During his first season, the Bulldogs ranked second in the PFL in total defense by surrendering just 329 yards per game and having two Bulldogs pick up All-PFL accolades, including PFL Defensive Player of the Year Tyler Moorehead, who ranked in the top 10 in the league in sacks. Prior to his stint under Creighton at DU, McCaslin coached for 14 seasons at the University of NebraskaOmaha, including spending the last six as the Mavericks’ defensive coordinator (2005-10).

Ryan Grubb Offensive Line First Year at EMU • Buena Vista, 1999

Entering his first year at EMU is Ryan Grubb, who came to Ypsilanti after spending the past seven years at the University of Sioux Falls. Grubb will serve as the team’s offensive line coach. Grubb spent the past four seasons as offensive coordinator for the Cougars after a three-year stint as the run game coordinator and offensive line coach. During his time at Sioux Falls, the team posted an astonishing 75-13 (.852) record, as Grubb helped guide USF to two national championships and four Great Plains Athletic Conference championships. During the 2013 campaign, the Cougars’ offense averaged 33.0 points and 467.9 yards of total offense per game. The USF rushing attack was extremely potent, racking up 2,705 yards on the ground and 31 touchdowns. That number ranked 18th in Division II and was an increase of more than 1,300 yards from the previous season. In total, the offense rushed for four games with 300-or-more yards, including a season-best 467 yards and six scores against the University of Minnesota-Crookston. Carrington Hanna was named the 2013 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference South Offensive Preseason Player of the Year. Splitting time between wide receiver and quarterback, Hanna became the first player in the history of the conference to be selected as both an allconference wide receiver and all-conference quarterback in the same year. Grubb’s 2012 quick-strike offense played a vital role in USF’s inaugural NCAA success. Nationally, the Cougar offense ranked 40th in passing efficiency (141.78), 47th in passing offense (253.50) and 49th in scoring (31.3 ppg). Within the conference, USF ranked sixth in passing offense. His high-powered unit scored 40 points or more on four occasions, including a 54-point explosion against Upper Iowa University, while tallying an impressive 60 plays of 25 yards or more, 15 of which resulted in a touchdown. Grubb mentored five all-conference selections and two Don Hansen All-Region honorees in 2012. In 2011, Grubb’s youthful offense posted 347 total yards per game en route to 31.2 points per contest. The Cougar scoring attack was especially efficient in the redzone, where they converted 89 percent of their chances, 66 percent of which resulted in a touchdown. The Cougar offense thrived in its first year under the command of Grubb. During the 2010 season, the USF

offense led the GPAC in pass offense (271.5 yds/gm), scoring offense (41.2 pts/gm), and total offense (432.6). In the NAIA, USF’s offense ranked third in scoring offense (577 pts) and fourth in pass offense (3,821 yds). Under Grubb, senior receiver Jon Ryan was named the NAIA Football Player of the Year and the GPAC Offensive Player of the Year. Coach Grubb saw 15 offensive players grab GPAC All-Conference honors, three of which were honored on the first team. Entering the 2010 season, the USF offense had the tough task of replacing seven starters from the previous season, including the quarterback position. Transfer Jon Eastman stepped into the quarterback position and filled the void exceptionally. During the 2010 season, he connected with Jon Ryan for 24 touchdowns, setting a school and NAIA record for touchdown receptions in a season. Eastman made his mark in the USF record books by taking over the sixth spot in career touchdowns with 45 touchdown tosses in just one season. The 2009 offensive line provided spectacular blocking for both USF’s running backs and NAIA Player of the Year quarterback Lorenzo Brown on the way to the program’s fourth national title. The Cougar offense set school records for points in a game (80), points per game (51.6), points in a season (775), total offense (7,313 yards) and rush offense (3,842), the most rushing yards by a team in the NAIA. Seniors TJ Wendt and Kyle Staudt earned first team All-GPAC honors, while the Cougars other three starting offensive linemen, Travis Beaver, Kyle Wasson and Casey Peters, found themselves on either the second team or honorable mention list for the conference. The unit only gave up 14 sacks in 15 games. In 2008, the offensive line paved the way to the sixthranked rushing attack (235.6 yards per game) and 10thbest scoring attack (36.5) in the country, while only giving up 10 sacks in 14 games. Shawn Flanagan, Kyle Staudt and TJ Wendt earned all-conference recognition, while Wendt was named a first team All-American, and Flanagan was named second team All-American. Flanagan signed an NFL free-agent contract in the spring. Grubb also served as the strength and conditioning coordinator for the USF football program and was named American Football Monthly’s NAIA National Strength and

Conditioning Coach of the Year for the 2008 season. Prior to coaching at USF, Grubb coached wide receivers and running backs at South Dakota State University in 2005 and 2006, earning four team rushing records, four All-Great West selections, an ESPN All-American and one Hula Bowl selection while tutoring wide reciver JaRon Harris, who went on to play for the Green Bay Packers. Prior to coaching at SDSU, Grubb was the offensive coordinator at Kingsley-Pierson High School in Iowa, producing six all-state selections and was named the 2004 Class 1A Assistant Coach of the Year. Grubb is a 1999 graduate of Buena Vista University where he was a four-year starter and team captain. Grubb earned his master’s in sports administration at South Dakota State University in 2006.

Eastern Michigan University Football Six Undefeated Seasons • 21 All-American Selections • 23 NFL Draft Choices • 152 All-MAC Honorees

Game 1 - Howard Second Half Offensive Push Propels Eagles to Victory Over Howard Eastern Michigan football wins first game of 2013 season, 34-24 YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University kicked off its 122nd season on the gridiron Saturday, Aug. 31 at Rynearson Stadium against the Howard University Bison. The effort proved to be a successful one as the Eagles took down the Bison 34-24 after an aggressive home opener. The Eagles improve to 1-0 on the 2013 season while Howard falls to 0-1. The EMU rushing effort was led by Bronson Hill, who ran 101 yards in 28 carries. Hill also added two touchdowns, while Darius Jackson added 64 yards and one touchdown. Tyler Benz connected on 19 passes in 26 attempts for 210 yards and two touchdown passes. On the defensive side, Sean Kurtz added 13 total tackles and two interceptions, while Cy Maughmer and Pat O’Conner each added a sack to the effort. The Howard offense was led by Greg McGhee, who totaled 75 yards and one touchdown. Halfback William Parker had 82 yards on seven carries and one touchback. McGhee was 19-for- 32 with 182 yards and one touchdown pass. On the defensive front, Cameron Alston and Tabrian Resby led the Bison with 14 and 12 tackles, respectively. The first quarter played out quickly with just two possession changes in the first 15 minutes. EMU’s early offensive efforts were quickly slowed by running into the stone line of the Bison defense before redshirt-junior quarterback Benz was able to help the Eagles break through into Howard territory at the 12:30 mark. Eastern’s offense suffered a setback at 11:17, when a long pass from Benz was intercepted by Howard’s Amedola Olantuji at the Howard 12-yard line. EMU’s defense answered back with forceful aggression to defend their territory as a sack by junior defensive lineman Maughmer on a Howard third down forced a punt by the Bison to return the ball to the Eagles. The Eagles were able to complete 12 plays and gain 55 yards within the remaining 6:04 of the first quarter, but as the time expired the matchup remained scoreless. The Green and White came out in full force with the start of the second quarter, as a three-yard rush was followed up by an 18-yard throw into the end zone to junior tight end Tyreese Russell at 14:17 plus an extra point thanks to sophomore kicker Dylan Mulder gave the Eagles the 7-0 lead over the Bison. Where the Howard offense could not seem to make a play happen, their defense proved to be reliable, as their defenders were able to shed the EMU blockers and force another possession change at 10:43. After what should have been a challenging start on the Howard five-yard line, the Bison offense jumped into gear with a 16-yard pass straight down the middle and a touchdown at 8:34 thanks to a 65-yard sprint by Howard’s William Parker. The Bison were able to gain 95 yards within six plays and knot the score at 7-7. A short punt from John Fleck gave the Bison an advantage as they started their possession within Eagle territory. Sophomore defensive lineman O’Connor was able to lead the defense with two consecutive tackles to take the Bison to a third down. An incomplete attempted touchdown pass by McGhee brought Fleck out onto the field, which produced a 43-yard field goal to push Howard to a 10-7 lead with 3:17 left in the half. With 2:55 remaining and the opposition in the lead, the Eagles started off their final possession of the half with a solid 25-yard return from Allen. Benz completed a series of 10-yard plays, moving the ball from sideline to sideline. With 31 seconds left in the half Benz connected with Demarius Reed on a 33-yard touchdown play to give the Eagles a 13-10 lead heading into the locker room. Howard came out strong in the second half, showing that they were not content with relinquishing their lead as McGhee moved the ball up the field smoothly with five-yard gains before throwing to Jonathan Booker. A 32-yard sideline run from Booker would give the Bison their second lead of the contest over EMU. The Eagles were unable to create any opportunities with their next possession, gaining only 17 yards in five plays before having to give the ball back over to Howard. McGhee proved to be the sparkplug of the Howard offen-

sive front as he sprinted toward the Eagle end zone at 6:22 before being stopped by junior defensive back Darius Scott on the EMU two-yard line. A series of attempts to run the ball in for a touchdown was seemingly the end of Bison’s scoring opportunity, but a penalty on an incomplete fourth-down touchdown attempt gave Howard another chance to run the ball in. McGhee was able to take advantage of the call to complete a 1-yard rush at 4:20 and extend the Bison lead. Despite the 14-0 scoring run by the Bison, the Eagles’ offense returned to the field with intensity and determination as the Eagles traveled 60 yards along the gridiron within four plays. At 1:29, Eastern was able to quench their scoring drought thanks to junior running back Hill, who rushed the ball in two yards for the Eagles’ third touchdown of the evening. EMU began to close the scoring gap after a Mulder extra point, bringing Eastern within four of the Bison. The fourth quarter began with the ball in the hands of the Howard offense, but less than 45 seconds into the final frame senior middle linebacker Kurtz nabbed his first career interception from Howard’s McGhee and ran a 25-yard return. Four plays after Kurz’s electric play, Hill found himself in the end zone once more with 12:31 left to play, giving the Eagles a 27-24 lead over the Bison. The EMU offense was unable to produce the success on their next possession despite a valiant effort, and the ball was once again returned to Howard’s side. Senior defensive end Kalonji Kashama produced a huge defensive play by taking down Anthony Philyaw at the Howard 21-yard line, and after only gaining one yard in three plays, the Eagles found themselves with a fantastic opportunity to add more to their growing scoring run. With 3:54 left in the game, sophomore running back Jackson showcased his wheels with a 28-yard rush to take the line of scrimmage to the Howard 20-yard line. Just 40 seconds later, Jackson found himself with the ball gripped tightly under his arm again, despite having Howard’s Tabrian Resby latched on to his jersey, as he barreled through the field with to end his 19-yard rush with another Eagles touchdown. With the addition of the fourth completed extra point attempt of the evening, the Eagles found themselves with a 34-24 lead, a 21-0 scoring run in over fifteen minutes of play. Despite an aggressive effort by the Bison, the Eagles were too powerful of a force to be overcome. As the clock ran down, the Bison gave one last effort to score but were intercepted in the end zone by Kurz, recording his second interception of the night. The Eagles closed out the beginning of the 2013 campaign with a 34-24 victory over Howard.

Game 2 - Penn State Penn State Hands EMU First Loss of 2013 Season

Linebacker Hunter Matt records first career fumble recovery and touchdown UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University football team dropped its first game of the 2013 campaign, 45-7, to Penn State University Saturday afternoon, Sept. 7, in non-conference action at Beaver Stadium. Losing in its first contest away from Rynearson Stadium, the Eagles fall to 1-1 on the season. EMU held on to the football, not turning it over once all afternoon while the EMU defense forced two turnovers, including an 11-yard fumble return by Hunter Matt for the Eagles’ only score of the game. Penn State (2-0) racked up 574 yards on the ground compared to 183 total yards for EMU. Quarterback Tyler Benz completed 17-of-26 passes for 115 yards, including finding tight end Tyreese Russell eight times for 73 yards. The number of receptions and yards were both career highs for the EMU junior. On the ground, Bronson Hill carried the ball 13 times for 38 yards to lead the EMU rushing attack. PSU freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg led the Nittany Lions throughout the contest, going 23-of33 through the air for 311 yards. The Penn State ground game tallied five touchdowns on the afternoon, including two from Bill Belton who rushed nine times for 108 yards. Teammate Akeel Lynch also recorded 108 yards rushing on 13 carries. The Eagles controlled field position early, driving 30 yards on their opening drive before pinning the Penn State at its own 12-yard line. Following a holding penalty on PSU, the Green and White defense forced a three-andout. A Demarius Reed punt return to the Penn State 33yard line set the EMU offense up with a short field. However, the Eagles were unable to gain a first down and were forced to set up a 45-yard field goal. As Dylan Mulder was ready to attempt the kick, holder and backup quarterback Mark Iannotti fumbled the snap; the Eagles were unable to get the attempt off, turning the ball over on downs to Penn State. Benz connected on his first seven passes of the game, helping Eastern move the ball downfield. As the Eagles crossed midfield, a deep ball hit the ground followed by a pass knocked down at the line of scrimmage, forcing EMU to punt the ball back to Penn State. After not allowing a first down on Penn State’s first two drives, the EMU defense picked up right where it left off. As Hackenberg dropped back to pass on the first play of the drive, the PSU freshman lost the ball, allowing Matt to scoop and score from 11 yards out. The first career touchdown for the sophomore linebacker gave the Eagles a, 7-0, lead with 4:01 to go in the first quarter. Matt’s fumble return was the first touchdown recorded by the EMU defense since Pudge Cotton’s pick-six last year at Purdue, Sept. 15, 2012. It was the Eagles first fumble return for a touchdown since Derrick Hunter took the ball 80 yards the other way against Ohio, Oct. 13, 2007, in a 48-43 loss to the Bobcats. The Nittany Lions wasted no time responding to the Eastern touchdown. Hackenberg led his team 67 yards down the field in six plays to tie the contest up, 7-7. The PSU quarterback’s 43-yard connection with Allen Robinson set up a two-yard touchdown run by Zach Zwinak with 1:41 left in the opening quarter. Penn State overtook the lead on its next drive, a similar one that went 68 yards in six plays. Following an EMU three-and-out, Bill Belton led the Nittany Lions to the end zone, rushing three times for 24 yards on the drive, including a five-yard scamper to give PSU a seven-point advantage, 14-7. The Eagles tried to answer the PSU score. On third-andlong, Benz scampered 16 yards up the middle for a first down, the second longest run of his career. Hill followed that with a powerful 13-yard rush of his own. However, Benz fumbled a snap before throwing back-to-back in-

complete passes to set up a 42-yard field goal for Mulder. This time, the snap and hold were successful, but his attempt sailed wide right as the deficit remained at seven. As the Nittany Lions marched down the field again, the EMU defense forced a mistake out of the young Hackenberg. On a play-action pass from the EMU 25-yard line, Hackenberg threw into double coverage, the ball was tipped around, and Mycal Swaim came up with the first interception of his career to get the ball back to the Eagles. Penn State closed out the half with a 39-yard field goal, and EMU headed in the locker room trailing by 10, 17-7. The Eagles managed 139 yards in the first half, recording 93 through the air courtesy of Benz going 12-for-18. Hill led the EMU rushing attack with 38 yards on 11 carries. Eastern did not turn the ball over in the game’s first 30 minutes, while the defense forced two turnovers, including Matt’s 11-yard fumble return for a touchdown. The Nittany Lions tallied 265 total yards in the first half, including 207 from the arm of Hackenberg. Hackenberg’s favorite receiver was Brandon Felder who made five catches for 51 yards. He also hooked up with Robinson four times for 70 yards. The EMU defense started the second half strong, forcing Penn State to punt on three-straight drives. However, the offense struggled to get anything going. PSU controlled field position, eventually beginning a drive at the EMU 33-yard line. The Eagles forced a third-and-24 after back-to-back sacks by Matt and Pat O’Connor, but Penn State converted the yardage in two plays, including a fourth-and-four. Following the fourth down conversion, Zwinak found a hole on the left side, crossing the goal line to give Penn State a 24-7 lead that it would take into the fourth quarter.

A 21-yard punt gave Rutgers the ball at the EMU 30-yard line, setting up a short field for the Scarlet Knights. Strong EMU defense held at the 30 before an illegal forward pass penalty was enforced, pushing Rutgers back to the Eastern 34-yard line.

Game 4 - Ball State Eastern Michigan Falters in MAC Opener Against Ball State Eagles drop homecoming matchup to Ball State, 51-20 YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University football team dropped a 51-20 decision to Ball State University Saturday, Sept. 21, at Rynearson Stadium. The Eagles were able to score the first touchdown of the Mid-American Conference opening matchup, but four turnovers plagued the Eagles in EMU’s homecoming game. Redshirt junior quarterback Tyler Benz led the Eagles in passing, connecting on 22-of-32 attempts for 212 yards and one touchdown, while junior running back Bronson Hill rushed for 126 yards on 21 carries. Sophomore wide receiver Dustin Creel led EMU in receiving, racking up 60 yards on a career-high five catches to go with one touchdown, and junior Demarius Reed added 55 yards. Defensively, Ibe Great and Mycal Swaim tied their career tackles records with nine and eight, respectively. Anthony Zappone and Arron Pipkins each added their first career sacks. With the loss Eastern falls to 1-3 overall on the season and 0-1 in the MAC, while Ball State improves to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in conference play. On the Ball State side, quarterback Keith Wenning threw for 317 yards, tossing two touchdowns. Jahwan Edwards and Horactio Banks led in rushing, gaining 83 and 65 yards, while Willie Snead headed the receiving core with 175 yards on nine catches. The first quarter started out with a smooth jaunt up the field by the Eagles when a 17-yard pass to Reed from Benz gave the Green and White a fourthconversion down, followed by a seven-yard rush by Darius Jackson to put EMU on the board with 11:27 left. The extra point attempt was blocked by BSU’s Nick Miles, leaving the Eagles with a 6-0 lead. The command of the scoreboard was short-lived, as Edwards was able to capitalize on a breakaway 36-yard rush to score for the Cardinals. Ball State’s 70 yards within six plays gave them a 7-6 lead over the home team. Eastern’s offense was unable to answer back, as Benz was brought down twice within two plays by the formidable Cardinals. BSU found itself with the ball once again and Banks was able to find a seam along the right sideline and rush for 43 yards to the end zone, scoring on just the second play of the possession. A fumbled snap on the extra point made it 13-6. After a staunch defensive effort by the Cardinals, the Eagles turned the rock over on Jackson’s second fumble. A lofty 31-yard pass by Wenning found Williams in the end zone to bring BSU up 27-6 over EMU with 1:46 left in the quarter, earning the Cardinals the entirety of their points for the quarter in just over seven minutes. Going into the second quarter, Ball State did not let up on their defensive effort. After an attempted 40-yard pass by Benz, BSU’s Ben Ingle forced a fumble to regain the ball for the Cardinals. Senior defensive end Kalonji Kashama was able to give EMU the first stop against Ball State. In the ensuing possession, Benz was able to get the Eastern offense rolling with a 30-yard lob to junior Tyreese Russell, taking the Eagles to a first down after converting off of a fourth-and-inches situation. Junior Ryan Brumfield followed up with a one-yard scramble into the opponent’s end zone with seven minutes left in the half, closing the gap 27-13. Eastern seemed to regain composure as it once again kept Ball State to a short possession, but the Cardinal defense came back in full force as the Green

and White was reined back, gaining only eight yards in five plays. A break toward the left sideline plus a 27-yard rush by Jamill Smith gave the Cardinals their last touchdown of the half, resulting in a 34-13 BSU edge as the two teams headed to the locker rooms. In the first offensive play of the second half, Wenning launched a 51-yard pass to Snead. EMU’s defense was able to keep BSU’s players away from the end zone, but the Cardinals came close enough to allow kicker Scott Secor to place the ball between the posts for a 35-yard field goal, giving BSU a 37-13 lead. Hill awakened on the offensive front; following an 11-yard rush he ran the ball 35 yards through the center of the field, all the while avoiding a slew of Ball State defenders for his longest carry of the season. Benz then found Creel in the end zone off a 24-yard toss to bring the Green and White to within 17 points. As they were able to gain 65 yards in three plays and one minute of possession time, it was the quickest scoring drive of the game. The Cardinals answered back with a quick score of their own. After a deep 50-yard throw by Wenning to Williams, Jahwan Edwards rushed an additional 10 yards to up the lead to 44-20. The run of misfortune only continued for the Eagles, as a Benz pass intended for Creel was intercepted by Martez Hester. Another long lob by Wenning and a series of small rushes brought the Cardinals to within reach of another scoring opportunity. A penalty on senior Ja’Ron Gillespie after an attempted touchdown gave BSU first-and-goal, and the Cardinals did not shy away from their chance to score as Edwards rushed three yards and allowed the Cardinals to take the 51-20 victory over the Eagles.

Game 5 - Buffalo Eagles Fall in First MAC Road Game of the Season

Buffalo defeats the EMU, 42-14, behind big plays Saturday afternoon, Oct. 5 BUFFALO, N.Y. (EMUEagles.com) – In its first Mid-American Conference game away from the friendly confines of Rynearson Stadium, the Eastern Michigan University football team fell to the University at Buffalo, 4214, Saturday, Oct. 5. With the loss, the Eagles drop to 1-4 (0-2 MAC) on the 2013 campaign while Buffalo improves to 3-2 (1-0 MAC) with its third-straight victory. Tyler Benz started out hot, completing his first four passes for 44 yards before ending the contest 12-of-19 for 157 yards. Ryan Brumfield led the ground attack with 79 yards on only two carries, including a 75yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Like he has done all season long, Tyreese Russell recorded a team-high four catches for 55 yards. Buffalo quarterback Joe Licata passed for a game-high 224 yards, going 15-of-22 through the air. Brandon Oliver rushed for 150 yards on 25 carries, finding the end zone on two separate occasions. Devin Campbell also recorded two touchdowns, including a 96-yard kickoff return. Alex Neutz caught four passes for 94 yards with a touchdown. After EMU went three-and-out on its opening drive, the Bulls struck first, marching 77 yards in six plays. The drive was capped off by an Oliver 60-yard run down the sideline to give Buffalo the early 7-0 lead. Buffalo increased its lead, taking advantage of a fumble by Bronson Hill. The EMU junior running back turned the ball over at the EMU 16-yard line, and Oliver found the end zone for the second time from two yards out. After the first 15 minutes of play, the Eagles found themselves trailing by a pair of touchdowns, 14-0. Following an EMU turnover at the goal line, UB marched 99-yards to take a 21-0 lead. However, Benz and the EMU offense responded with a touchdown of their own. Hill scampered a season-long 41 yards to get the Eagles back in the red zone. Three plays later, Benz found Jay Jones on a 15-yard connection to put the Green and White on the board, cutting the deficit to two touchdowns, 21-7. On the ensuing kickoff, a strange turn-ofevents occurred as the Bulls returned the kick to the EMU 32-yard line. However, Head Coach Ron English saw the returner’s knee touch the ground as he took the kick at the 16-yard line. English challenged the call on the field, and the play was overturned; however, an offside penalty on the Eagles

In the last possession of the ball game, Brumfield found a crease, dashing 75 yards to the house for the Eagles’ longest play from scrimmage this season. Mulder split the uprights on the point after try with 1:29 left in the game, completing the game scoring, 4214.

Game 6 - Army Army Uses Ground Attack to Rush Past EMU, 50-25 Bronson Hill led the offense with 234 all-purpose yards WEST POINT, N.Y. (EMUEagles.com) — Closing out the non-conference portion of the 2013 season, the Eastern Michigan University football team dropped a 50-25 decision to the Army Black Knights Saturday afternoon, Oct. 12, at Michie Stadium. The Eagles (1-5, 0-2 MAC) held the early edge, but the Army (3-4) ground attack proved to be too much for the Green and White. Army outgained EMU, 551-417, due in large part to 513 yards on the ground. Junior running back Terry Baggett had a career day, rushing for an Army record 304 yards on 18 carries, including four touchdowns. Baggett shattered the previous mark of 269 yards by Mike Wallace who accomplished the feat against Louisville in 1999. Bronson Hill was the bright spot for the EMU offense, racking up 234 all-purpose yards. The junior running back ran 20 times for 143 yards while also catching four passes for 91 yards. Through the air, Tyler Benz went 17-of-26 with 223 passing yards and two touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball Hunter Matt led all Eagles with 13 tackles. The dynamic duo of Benz and Hill has now combined for 920 yards and nine touchdowns in the past two games against the Black Knights. Last season versus Army, Oct. 20, 2012, Benz threw 19-of-31 for 369 yards and five touchdowns, including one to Hill. Meanwhile, Hill ran for 185 yards and one touchdown on the ground in the Eagles’ 48-38 win at Rynearson Stadium. The Green and White marched right down the field on the opening drive, going 76 yards in 10 plays, capped off by a 17 yard screen pass from Benz to Hill. Benz was a perfect 5-of-5 on the drive for 63 yards, including two completions to Hill for 44 yards. After getting inside the Army red zone and facing thirdand-long, the redshirt junior quarterback scrambled to find an open Hill in the flat. The EMU running back made the catch and proceeded to shift his way until he found the end zone. On the extra point attempt, a bad snap forced backup quarterback/holder Mark Iannotti to try to make a play, and Schaumberg, Ill. native certainly did that, finding Cole Gardner just shy of the goal line. Gardner was able to break a tackle, reach out and break the break the plane for the unorthodox two-point conversion. With 9:24 remaining in the opening quarter, the Eagles led, 8-0. The Black Knights responded, scoring on their own opening drive. The ground-and-pound triple option offense used eight plays, including seven on the ground, to go 70 yards down the field. Baggett ran four yards to finish the drive, and the point after attempt was good, cutting the EMU lead to one, 8-7 with 4:55 left in the first quarter. Eastern wasted no time increasing the lead back to eight, taking 53 seconds to go 65 yards to the house. Benz completed a 10-yard pass to Duwhan Alford before Hill took over the rest of the drive using a 43-yard run to set up a 12-yard scamper, making it 15-7. However, 20 seconds later, Baggett answered for Army by heading 67 yards down the sideline for a touchdown. The Black Knights lined up for two, and Angel Santiago kept the ball to convert, tying the game up, 15-15. Following the first punt of the game, Army took

its first lead of the game with a long, 17-play drive that lasted 7:13. On third-and-goal from the one-yard line, Trenton Turrentine took the pitch from Santiago and beat a few EMU defenders to the corner, putting the Black Knights up, 22-15, with 9:46 to go in the opening half. Following drives where both teams were unable to score, the Eagles created a long drive of their own. Eating up nearly the entire remaining time in the first half, Hill made some key runs that eventually set up a 31-yard field goal by Dylan Mulder with five seconds left before halftime. Eastern used 17 plays to go 73 yards to cut into the deficit, heading into the locker room trailing 22-18. Benz was efficient through the air in the first half, completing 8-of-13 passes yards. However, it was Hill who was the star of the EMU offense as he ran 15 times for 114 yards, including a 43-yard dash that set up a 12-yard touchdown run. The Grand Rapids, Mich. native also caught a pair of passes totaling 44 yards. Army found success on offense as 218 yards of its 244 yards of total offense came on the ground. Baggett rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries while Turrentine ran four times for 61 yards. Santiago kept the ball on 12 occasions for 31 yards while passing for 26 yards on 3-of-4 throws. After another Baggett touchdown on Army’s first drive of the second half, EMU quickly entered the red zone after a 53-yard screen pass from Benz to Hill. However, a fumble on a third down slant gave the ball back to Army. Two plays later, Baggett would find another hole and scamper 96 yards to increase the Army lead, 36-18, with 9:05 remaining in the third quarter. On fourth-and-long, Benz hit Dustin Creel for 28 yards and a touchdown to give the Eagles its first points of the second half, making the score, 43-25.

Game 7 - Ohio Bronson Hill Shines in Eastern’s loss to the Bobcats

Bronson Hill eclipsed 200 yards rushing for the second time in his career YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) —The Eastern Michigan University football team dropped a cross-divisional Mid-American Conference matchup in its third home game of the 2013 season to Ohio University. The Eagles, though at one point were neck-and-neck with the Bobcats knotting the score at 21-21, faltered in the second half as OU ran away with the game, 56-28. With the loss Eastern falls to 1-6 overall on the season and 0-3 in the MAC, while Ohio improves to 5-2 overall and 2-1 in the conference. The Green and White had to take on the Bobcats in a way in which no team would wish to; yesterday, Oct. 18, the squad lost a teammate when Demarius Reed tragically passed away. The wide receiver was a leader on and off the field for the Eagles, and the team paid tribute to his memory by brandishing the No. 2 on their helmets and wristbands for the game. The Eagles offense was led by Bronson Hill, who had 23 carries for a season-high 257 yards and one touchdown. His effort ranks third in the EMU laurels for rushing in a single game, and this marks the seventh time in Hill’s career that he has surpassed the century mark and the second time he rushed for more than 200 yards. Dustin Creel led the receiving effort, bringing in five catches for 53 yards and one touchdown, while junior tight end Tyreese Russell added three catches for 76 yards and a touchdown of his own. Redshirtjunior quarterback Tyler Benz was 12-for-22 with 151 yards, two of which resulted in touchdowns. Defensively, sophomore linebacker Ike Spearman tied a career-best 10 tackles and recorded his first career interception to lead the Green and White, followed by senior defensive back Mycal Swaim, who also had a career game with nine tackles. Tyler Tettleton went 23-for-30 with 375 passing yards for the Bobcats, and two players accrued over 100 receiving yards apiece. Josh Kristoff led all players with 11 tackles on the afternoon. As the sideline held up two fingers commemorating Reed’s jersey number, junior Tyler Allen took off on a 90-yard dash to the Ohio end zone for his first touchdown on a kickoff return. It was also the first special teams score of the season for Eastern, which gave the Eagles an early 7-0 lead within the first 13 seconds of the matchup. Allen’s return tied the longest kickoff return in Rynearson Stadium history. Dontayo Gage completed had a 90-yard return against Ball State University, Sept. 8, 2007. After scoring in their first offensive drive of the game on a strike from Tettleton to Mario Dovell, Ohio knotted the game up at seven point apiece. In the ensuing EMU possession, the Bobcats forced a fumble and quickly jaunted 30 yards down the field and Tettleton connected with Matt Waters for a score, giving Ohio a 14-7 advantage. The Green and White had difficulties moving the ball across the gridiron in the next possession, and despite a second chance to keep the ball after an Ohio penalty was called for roughing the Eagles’ punter, Austin Barnes, the Bobcats once again forced a turnover in which Travis Carrie would sprint 79 yards on the punt return to the EMU eight-yard line. The Bobcats took advantage of their favorable position and rushed the ball in for their third touchdown of the afternoon, jumping ahead 21-7. In the second quarter, the Eagles were once again forced to turn the ball back over to the Bobcats despite a pair of first-down catches by Creel. However, the defensive front found its spark when sophomore defensive lineman Arron Pipkins produced a tackle-for-loss for the Green and White, after which the squad forced two incomplete passes from the Bobcats to regain control of the ball. Benz found sophomore wide receiver Jay Jones on the 50-yard line to put the team in strong position going into the second quarter. After a series of carries by sophomore running back Darius Jackson for 23 yards and two first-downs, Benz launched a 14-yard pass to find Creel in the end zone at 11:46, inching the Eagles back into the game, 21-14. Two offensive penalties by Ohio resulted in a loss of over 30 yards for the Bobcats, which they were unable to recover and conceded a punt to Jones who scrambled 13 yards down the center of the field to start the next EMU drive. Unfortunately the Green and White was unable to convert on the posses-

sion, putting Ohio on their seven-yard line after a long Barnes punt. After the Bobcats traveled up the gridiron thanks in large part to a quartet of passes for over 80 yards, Spearman put a stop to the Ohio drive by nabbing his first career interception off a pass by Tettleton with just over two minutes remaining in the quarter. The Eagles were unable to score with the remaining time, but were able to keep the Bobcats scoreless for almost 20 minutes to end the first half. Ohio started off the second half with the ball, but after a read on the play by Spearman resulted in a tackle and a fourth-down turnover punt, the Eagles had a formidable challenge ahead of them with 99 yards of field between them and the end zone. Benz passed a 14-yard lob to Creel to kick off the Green and White’s first drive of the half. Hill broke through the Ohio defensive line and later made a scramble to the left sideline for a total gain of 23 yards. Benz then found his favorite target of the season, Russell, who ran the ball in to the end zone, fending off a diving tackle attempt by Josh Kristoff, for a career-high 62 yards that knotted the score, 21-21, with 8:19 remaining in the quarter. Following a series of incomplete passes, the Eagles had a chance to score again in rapid fashion. Hill churned out the longest rush of the season with 64 yards to carry the ball well up the field. With position to pull down a catch in the end zone, Bobcat cornerback Devon Bass threw a wrench in the gears of the Eagles offense and came away with an interception for Ohio. The Bobcats soon found themselves on the leading side of the scoreboard after an 80 yard pass to Cochran for a touchdown. With the remaining 4:58 in the quarter, Ohio found itself inside the EMU end zone twice more, giving the squad a 42-21 advantage. Freshman quarterback Brogan Roback took over duties leading the offense to close out the quarter, as he handed it off to Hill, who would tie his career-high 70 yards and surpass the 200-yard rushing mark for the second time in his career. Within the starting minutes of the final quarter, Hill closed out the EMU drive with an 11-yard rush for a touchdown and started to close the gap as the Eagles still trailed 42-28. Ohio’s scoring continued through remainder of the matchup, scoring two more touchdowns, ending the contest with a 56-28 decision.

Game 8 - Northern Illinois No. 18 Northern Illinois Powers Past Eastern Michigan Tyreese Russell tallies a new career-high 90 yards receiving DeKALB, Ill. (EMUEagles.com) — In its first game against a ranked opponent this season, the Eastern Michigan University football team dropped a 5920 decision to the No. 18-ranked Northern Illinois University Huskies Saturday afternoon, Oct. 26, at Huskie Stadium. The Eagles (1-7, 0-4 MAC) knew they had their hands full against a NIU (8-0, 4-0 MAC) team that has not lost a Mid-American Conference game at home since 2008, a streak of 18 games. Additionally, the unbeaten Huskies owned the longest conference winning streak in the nation, posting wins in the last 21 games led by Heisman Trophy candidate Jordan Lynch. “True” freshman Brogan Roback made his first career start for Head Coach Ron English’s club, completing 7-of-17 for 109 yards, including a career-long 38-yard pass to tight end Tyreese Russell. Tyler Benz came on in relief with a 6-of15 performance through the air for 64 yards along with leading EMU to its two touchdown drives on the afternoon. Russell was the primary target for the two EMU quarterbacks, hauling in four catches for a career-high 90 yards. On the ground, Javonti Greene carried the ball 17 times for 66 yards while Bronson Hill added 65 yards rushing as well. After taking the opening kick back for his first career kickoff return last week that would give him MAC West Special Teams Player of the Week honors, Tyler Allen continued his strong returning against the Huskies, taking back five kicks for 91 yards. On a game-long 29-yard kick return midway through the third quarter, Allen passed Corey Welch for third on the all-time career return yardage list. With 1,717 return yards, the speedy junior now sets his sights on Steve Clay who is ranked second in EMU laurels with 1,772 yards. Lynch led NIU with six total touchdowns on the afternoon. The versatile quarterback went 16-of-20 for 223 yards through the air while rushing for 99 yards on 18 carries. He also caught a touchdown pass on a trick play from wide receiver Tommylee Lewis. The Huskies struck first on the opening drive of the game, marching 82 yards down the field on 13 plays. Lynch completed five-of-six passes on the drives, his final one a five-yard connection to Da’Ron Brown for the score. With 10:44 remaining in the first quarter, the Eagles found themselves down, 7-0. EMU started off hot on the offensive side with an 18-yard run by Hill on Eastern’s first play from scrimmage and crossing into NIU territory. However, the drive stalled and Ray Guy Award Candidate Austin Barnes tried to pin the Huskies deep in their own territory, but his 48-yard punt sailed into the end zone for a touchback. Three plays later, NIU found the endzone to double its lead, 14-0, with 7:37 left in the first quarter. After another NIU score, the Green and White headed down the field in large part due to the running of Hill. The junior running back carried the ball five times on the drive for 36 yards. Eastern entered the red zone after Roback found Russell across the

middle for 38 yards. Then, on third-and-goal from the five-yard line, Hill rushed up the middle but was stopped at the two. After an EMU false start penalty, Dylan Mulder split the uprights on a 25-yard field goal to cut into the deficit as the first quarter came to a close. Hill was a bright spot for Eastern in the opening 15 minutes, rushing eight times for 59 yards to go along with a 10-yard reception as well. Through the air, Roback completed 4-of-8 throws for 60 yards. After Benz took over the quarterback duties in the second quarter, Roback returned to start the second half, leading the Eagles on a 14-play, 60yard drive that set up another Mulder field goal. The sophomore from Saline, Mich. converted his second attempt of the day, a 32-yarder, to make the contest, early in the second half. NIU scored a quick touchdown, but the Eagles answered right back as Benz returned to the game. After an impressive return by Allen, the veteran quarterback pushed the Green and White 55 yards down the field in just 1:42. On the fifth play of the drive, Benz found his favorite receiver in the corner of the end zone as Russell corralled the ball for the EMU 9-yard touchdown. Benz remained in the contest throughout the rest of the game and led EMU on a long, impressive drive. The Eagles chewed up 9:25, going 82 yards on 19 plays and converting two fourth down conversions along the way. Ryan Brumfield finished the drive off with a five-yard touchdown scamper to give the Eagles at least 20 points for the third straight game.

Game 9 - Toledo Rockets Spoil Roback’s Return to the Glass City

Dustin Creel records a career-high 115 yards receiving in EMU’s 55-16 loss TOLEDO, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University freshman quarterback Brogan Roback’s return to the Glass City was spoiled as the EMU football team fell, 55-16, to the University of Toledo Saturday night, Nov. 2, in a Mid-American Conference contest at the Glass Bowl. With the setback, the Green and White drop to 1-8, 0-5 MAC on the 2013 campaign as Toledo improves to 6-3, 4-1 MAC. After coming in off the bench in place of redshirt junior Tyler Benz, Roback threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns on 11-of-22 passing. Roback’s favorite receiver was sophomore Dustin Creel, who tallied career highs with six catches for 115 yards. Creel’s 100+ yard receiving game marked the first time an Eastern receiver went over the century mark in yards since Garrett Hoskins hauled in 158 receiving yards against Army, Oct. 20, 2012. For the EMU rushing attack, Ryan Brumfield carried the ball 17 times for 67 yards in his first career start donning the Green and White. For Toledo, starting quarterback Terrance Owens completed 18-of-24 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns. Out of the 729 total yards of offense for the Rockets, 334 came on the ground, led by 168 rushing yards and two touchdowns from tailback Kareem Rush. Out of the gate EMU won the toss and elected to receive, as Benz led the offense out on to the field. On the first play from scrimmage, the redshirt junior quarterback found his favorite receiver, Tyreese Russell, on a play-action rollout for an 18-yard play and an Eastern first down. However, the drive stalled near midfield, and freshman Austin Barnes was called upon to pin the Rockets back at their own nine-yard line. The poor field position did not phase Toledo as the Rockets marched 91 yards down the field in nine plays to score on their opening drive. Owens completed all three passes on the drive, the final throw a seven-yard connection to Alex Zmolik. Following an EMU three-and-out, Owens found Dwight Macon for a 47-yard touchdown pass, giving Toledo the early 14-0 lead with 7:46 remaining in the first quarter. After another Toledo touchdown, “true” freshman quarterback and area native Roback came in off the bench, throwing a 25-yard strike to Creel to begin the drive. Although, on the very next play, Roback’s deep pass down the sideline was intercepted by the Rockets. Two drives later, the Maumee, Ohio native directed the Green and White down the field for its first scoring drive of the night. Starting at their own 37-yard line, the Eagles used eight plays to go 39 yards, setting up a 41-yard field goal by Dylan Mulder. The big play of the drive was another Roback connection to Creel, good for 27 yards. With 7:43 left in the opening half, Toledo held a 28-3 advantage. Following another UT score, Eastern responded with a score of its own as Roback and Creel led the EMU offense on back-to-back scoring drives. The dynamic duo hooked up twice for 28 yards on

However, with just 1:11 remaining in the half, the Rockets would strike again with a 20-yard field goal to take a 38-10 score into the locker room at the half. Roback was 6-of-12 for 101 yards in the first half, finding Creel on five of those six completions for 88 yards, a career-high for the sophomore wide receiver. Brumfield led the EMU ground attack, rushing for 63 yards on 13 carries in the first 30 minutes of the game. The Rockets totaled 456 yards of offense in the first half, led by 260 passing yards from Owens and 144 on the ground by Kareem Rush. The tandem of Roback and Creel picked up right where they left off, connecting for 29 yards on EMU’s first offensive play of the second half, entering the Eagles into Toledo territory. Nonetheless, the drive would stall, and the punt sailed into the end zone. Rockets would increase their lead to 38, 48-10, on an 80-yard touchdown pass following the touchback. On the first drive of the final quarter, Roback orchestrated another EMU touchdown drive. A career-long 45-yard pass to Jay Jones by Roback put the Eagles in UT territory. On third-and-goal from the three-yard line, the freshman quarterback rolled out to find a wide open Brumfield in the end zone, making the score, 48-16.

Game 10 - Western Michigan Eagles Sink Broncos in Emotional Overtime Thriller, 35-32

Eastern knocks off its in-state rival Western Michigan for its second win of 2013 YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University football team secured its second victory of the 2013 campaign in an overtime thriller against Mid-American Conference foe Western Michigan University, 35-32. One day after former EMU Head Football Coach Ron English was relieved of his duties, Interim Head Coach Stan Parrish led the Green and White to its first MAC win of this season. The Eagles improve to 2-8 (1-5 MAC), while the Broncos drop to 1-9 (1-5 MAC). The victory was led by the ground attack, as the Eagles rushed an EMU record-breaking 44 carries for 264 yards, which ranks as the third-highest rushing yardage in Green and White laurels. Two players surpassed the century mark, as junior running back Ryan Brumfield ran a career-high 148 yards on 15 carries to lead the Eagles, nearly doubling his previous mark of 79 rushing yards. Brumfield also tallied another career-high in touchdowns, leading the squad with two. Junior running back Bronson Hill was the second player to run over 100 yards, as his 108 yards on 23 carries also resulted in a touchdown. Freshman quarterback Brogan Roback threw 9-of-22 for 132 yards with one touchdown and additionally rushed for a touchdown of his own. Junior tight end Tyreese Russell led on the receiving end, amassing 76 yards in the win. Defensively, senior defensive back Donald Coleman led the squad with 14 tackles, while sophomore linebacker Ike Spearman had a career game with 13 stops and one interception. The Broncos were led in scoring by kicker Andrew Haldeman, who was six-of-six on field goal attempts. Zach Terrell was 24-of-39 for 348 yards, while Corey Davis and Kendrick Roberts each had over 100 yards in receiving. Following a Tyler Allen return, Roback threw to the right sideline twice to Russell for a combined 36 yards. Once in Bronco territory, the ball was handed off to Brumfield, who rushed nine yards on his first jaunt down the field and then managed to find an opening to sprint down the left side of the field for 23 yards to score the first touchdown of the contest. The four plays were executed in less than two minutes to give the Eagles an early lead, 7-0. Western Michigan took its time on the first Bronco drive of the afternoon, and practically mirrored the EMU strategy used in the opening minutes of the matchup. Terrell aired it out on the first handful of plays, relying heavily on Eric Boyden before a trio of handoffs to Brian Fields gave the Broncos their first touchdown in a first quarter for the season, with an extra point serving as an equalizer. After a pass by Roback was picked off by WMU’s Justin Currie, Eastern’s defense managed to keep the Bronco offense in the stables, as Great Ibe racked up a tackle for loss to put WMU in a third-and-eight situation. Terrell attempted to convert on his second third-down of the afternoon, but junior Willie Creear was able to read the play and knock away the pass, forcing the Broncos to call on Haldeman to attempt a 48-yard field goal, which he managed to direct through the posts and put the Green and White at a 10-7 disadvantage going into the second quarter. A penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct by a Bronco player gave the Eagle defense a chance to capitalize on a first-and-25 situation. After preventing Western from gaining enough ground for a first down, senior defensive lineman Kalonji Kashama racked up his third sack of the season to keep the Broncos out of field goal range and surrender a punt to the Green and White. Hill rushed for a combined 26 yards before Roback would throw a 30-yard lob to Russell to nab the Eagles’ first third-conversion down of the game. Hill continued to rush for the Eagles, sprinting through the center of the field to move the chains and bust through another third-down play. As the defense keyed in on Hill, expecting the junior running back to carry the ball in the ensuing play, Roback faked a handoff and cut away from the defensive line to find a wide open path to the end zone. The freshman quarterback scored the first rushing touchdown of his career to launch the squad to a 14-10 lead over the Broncos. Though Terrell launched a season-long 59-yard pass to Kendrick Roberts, freshman Quan Pace was able to take the wide receiver down at the EMU six-yard line. A rush by Fields put the Broncos just one yard shy of the end zone, but his next rush was stopped by the sophomore duo of Ibe and Pat O’Connor. Senior linebacker Sean Kurtz was able to rush Terrell to throw an incomplete pass and force the Broncos to concede a field goal. The Green and White was able to force two more incomplete attempted touchdown passes, but a third successful field goal from Haldeman swung the score in favor of the Broncos, 16-14 to close out the half. The Broncos managed to make a run down the field to open up the third quarter, but a stop was made once they got 25 yards into EMU territory. After a Coleman tackle for loss, Kashama brought down Terrell for his second sack of the contest. Redshirt-freshman

Mike Steals also found the opportunity to take the Bronco quarterback to the turf, forcing a punt into the hands of the Eagles. Brumfield amassed a solid 65 yards rushing in five consecutive plays as he ran the ball within 15 yards of the goal line. Roback then turned to Hill to take over the rushing duties for the remainder of the drive as he scored the third rushing touchdown of the game. An extra point by sophomore kicker Dylan Mulder gave a 21-16 lead back to the Green and White. The lead would change once again as a 70-yard pass to Corey Davis resulted in a quick score for Western. A fumble on the play in Eastern’s next possession surrendered the ball into Bronco hands, capped by a field goal thanks to WMU’s top-scoring Haldeman. As the contest stood at a one-touchdown game at the start of the final quarter, the Eagles were able to pick off one of Terrell’s passes as Spearman grabbed his second career interception. The Green and White could not score on its next drive as a rush by Hill on a fourth-down attempt was unable to break through the Bronco defensive line. Haldeman would later sail his fifth field goal through the posts to increase the scoring gap as Eastern trailed 29-21. With less than seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, Roback was able to find sophomore wide receiver Dustin Creel for his first catch of the game on a 19-yard throw to break out of a thirddown. Roback leapt over a defender on fourth down to gain seven yards, and kept the Eagles’ drive alive. As the clock ran down to 56 seconds, the Eagles took a time out to deliberate how to handle the fourth-and-two with the line of scrimmage just 10 yards away from the goal line. Roback found Creel on the right sideline, who ran through the clear lane to the end zone. In need of a two-point conversion, the ball was handed off to Brumfield, who found Roback on the right with an uncontested route across the line ahead of him. The Eagles were able to knot the score, 29-29, and force the overtime period. After winning the toss prior to overtime, the Eagles elected to play defense first. EMU held the Broncos to another Haldeman field goal before the Green and White took over on the offensive side of the ball. The Eagles started their offensive run in overtime with a pass from Roback to Russell for a first-down off a 10-yard lob. Brumfield carried the ball an additional 10 yards to nab a first-and-goal from the five yard line. Brumfield finished the game with a five yard jaunt into the end zone, putting the Green and White up for the win with a final tally of 35-32.

Game 11 - Bowling Green Eagles Fall to Falcons in Senior Day Contest

Bowling Green defeats Eastern Michigan in cross-divisional bout, 58-7 YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s football team dropped the 2013 home finale against Mid-American Conference East Division co-leading Bowling Green State University, 58-7, Saturday, Nov. 23. With the setback, the Eagles fall to 2-9 (1-6 MAC), while Bowling Green improves to 8-3 (6-1 MAC). Prior to the contest, the Eagles honored its 14member senior class that included: Tim Brown, Donald Coleman, Joe Fleming, Kody Fulkerson, Ja’Ron Gillespie, Javonti Greene, Kalonji Kashama, Sean Kurtz, Cy Maughmer, Orlando McCord, Matt Price, Donald Scott, Shawn Sinawe and Mycal Swaim. The Green and White struggled offensively, as freshman quarterback Brogan Roback went 1-for-12 for four yards in the air with one interception. The sole completed pass of the contest landed in the hands of sophomore wide receiver Quincy Jones. Junior running back Ryan Brumfield led the ground attack with 29 yards rushing on nine carries. The defensive front was paced by junior defensive back Willie Creear, who racked up nine tackles. Maughmer, Hunter Matt, Pat O’Connor, and Derric Williams each notched an individual sack against the Falcons. Bowling Green was led by quarterback Matt Johnson, who completed 13-of-23 passes for three touch downs to go along with 264 passing yards and one interception. The majority of his passes found his favorite target Ronnie Moore, who caught seven passes for 161 yards and three touchdowns. On the ground, Travis Greene rushed 15 carries and 126 yards with a pair of touchdowns. The Falcons were able to move down the field during the opening drive thanks in large part to Greene rushing a combined 53 yards to put Bowling Green within field goal range. The visitors took an early lead in the cross-divisional matchup, 3-0. The Green and White was unable to match BGSU with its first drive, but a well-placed punt off the foot of Owen Dubiel landed the ball on the one-yard line for the Falcons. As the Falcons stood in a difficult position at secondand-15, Kurtz intercepted a pass from Johnson and ran the 10 yards into the end zone for a pick-six. The senior scored the first touchdown off an interception since Pudge Cotton picked off a pass at Purdue, Sept. 15, 2012. An extra point switched the score in favor of EMU, 7-3, with 6:36 remaining in the opening stanza. Unfortunately, the Eagles would not retain their lead for long, as Moore bolted down the right sideline off a pass from Johnson to swing the control of the scoreboard back to BGSU. Moore finished off a 74-yard dash as the Eagles lost the lead after just 20 seconds. The first quarter closed out with the Eagles trailing, 17-7, after Moore ran in another pass from Johnson with seven seconds left. Junior Tyler Allen sidestepped around BG defenders for a 32-yard kickoff return to start the Green and White off on its own 35-yard line at the opening of the second period. Facing a formidable defensive front, the Eagles were once again unable to come out with a scoring drive and had to surrender a punt back to the Falcons. The Eagles’ defense made a handful of commendable plays, as Gillespie took down Ryan Burbrink en route to the end zone, putting a stop to his 58-yard run at the EMU nine-yard line. Kashama and O’Connor also picked up a sack apiece during the drive. Eastern Michigan did not allow a Falcons player to pull down a pass in the

end zone, but BGSU was able to extend its lead to 20-7 after landing another field goal. Brumfield started to break through the wall of Falcons, rushing for 10 yards combined before Ryland Ward intercepted a pass from Roback to give possession back to Bowling Green. Greene made his way from the center of the EMU 28-yard line to the left corner of the end zone to give the Falcons a quick eight-second scoring drive. That score followed up by a third touchdown catch by Moore to further extend the lead with less than two remaining in the half. The Green and White was unable to put any more points on the board as the clock ticked down, trailing 34-7 as the team exited the field at halftime. The third quarter was not kind to the Eagles, as the Falcons racked up a Greene touchdown, a field goal, and a fumble recovery for a 37-yard touchdown run by Will Watson to widen the scoring gap to 51-7 in favor of the visiting squad. After being unable to assemble an offensive output in the final quarter, the Eagles surrendered one final touchdown to Bowling Green, bringing the final score to 58-7.

Game 12 - Central Michigan EMU Football Closes Out 2013 Campaign With Setback to Chippewas Bronson Hill rushes for 167 yards to eclipse 1,000 yards on the season MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Closing out the 2013 campaign, the Eastern Michigan University football team dropped a 42-10 decision to in-state rival Central Michigan University on a chilly Friday afternoon at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, Nov. 29. With the loss, the Eagles end their season at 2-10, including 1-7 in Mid-American Conference play. Bronson Hill led the EMU offense with 167 yards on 25 carries. He surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career while becoming the first EMU running back to rushed for over 1,000 yards in a season since Anthony Sherrell accomplished the feat during the 2003 season. Hill also passed the 2,000-yard plateau in his EMU career with an eight-yard run in the fourth quarter, the 11th running back in program history to reach that mark. Freshman Brogan Roback completed 14-of-27 passes for 139 yards. Roback’s primary target all afternoon was Dustin Creel as the sophomore wide receiver made a career-high 10 catches for 109 yards. On the defensive side of the ball, Derric Williams led the Eagles in tackles with a personal-best 10 for the freshman linebacker. Pudge Cotton tallied 10 tackles to go along with a fumble recovery, while redshirt freshman Mike Steals hauled in his first career interception. The Chippewas (6-6, 5-3 MAC) were led by running back Zurlon Tipton who rushed 20 times for 216 yards, including four touchdowns. Cooper Rush threw for 92 yards on 9-of-14 passing. Wide out Mike Kinville led the CMU receiving corps with 32 yards on a pair of receptions. The Eagles began the contest with the football, but fumbled on just their third play of the contest at their own 28-yard line. Four plays later, CMU notched the first points on the scoreboard as Zurlon Tipton found the end zone from four yards out, giving the Chippewas the early 7-0 advantage with 11:54 remaining in the opening quarter. Following three-straight punts combined between the two teams, Central increased its lead with another touchdown. The Chippewas marched 71 yards in 11 plays as Tipton capped the drive with a one-yard run on third-and-goal, increasing the margin to 14-0 just over 13 minutes into the contest. Five minutes later, Tipton continued to be a thorn in the Eagles’ side, dashing 86 yards for his third score of the game to put Eastern in a deeper hole, down 21-0. The Green and White answered the CMU score with a 24-yard field goal by Dylan Mulder on a 13-play, 80-yard drive that melted 6:29 off the clock. Hill was the primary factor on Eagles’ scoring drive, taking six carries for 57 yards. On his third rush of the series, the Grand Rapids, Mich. native scampered 23 yards to pick up his 1,000th yard of the season. The offense putting points on the board fired up the EMU defense as Kalonji Kashama sacked Rush, forcing a fumble by the CMU quarterback. Cotton recovered the ball at the CMU 21-yard line. However, a personal foul penalty on the first play of the drive stalled the Eagles, and Mulder’s career-long 48-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right, keeping the deficit at 18 points. After the missed opportunity from the turnover, the Eagles defense clamped down once again, forcing a CMU punt. With just 1:01 left on the clock, Roback and the offense found themselves backed up at their own 15-yard line. Nonetheless, that did not stop them from scoring before the end of the first half. Hill began

the drive with a 26-yard dash down the sideline to give EMU some breathing room before being pushed out-of-bounds to stop the clock. Two plays later, the junior running back ran 12 yards to put the Eagles in CMU territory. Then, on third-and seven, Roback found his favorite target as Creel hauled in 34-yard pass in the Chippewas’ red zone. The freshman quarterback rushed the offense to the line, spiking the ball to stop time with just 13 seconds remaining. On the ensuing play, Roback threw a jump ball up to redshirt freshman tight end Cole Gardner, who came down with the ball in the end zone for his first career touchdown, cutting the CMU lead to 11, 21-10, with six seconds left in the half and giving the Eagles momentum heading into the break. Although the Eagles had the momentum at halftime, CMU opened up the second half with an 84-yard kickoff return by Courtney Williams to increase the advantage to 28-10. After an EMU punt, Tipton rushed 44 yards for his fourth touchdown of the game and increasing the Central lead, 35-10, with 9:36 left in the third quarter. The Chippewas would score one more time to finish off the game’s scoring, securing the 42-10 victory. The 2013 season finale marked the end of the careers of 14 Eagles: Tim Brown, Donald Coleman, Joe Fleming, Kody Fulkerson, Ja’Ron Gillespie, Javonti Greene, Kashama, Sean Kurtz, Cy Maughmer, Orlando McCord, Matt Price, Donald Scott, Shawn Sinawe and Mycal Swaim.

Mid-American Conference Providing leadership in education and diversity, the MidAmerican Conference moves into its 69th year of service to the student-athlete. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only ten football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009. The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon, Ohio). In addition, the SPIRE Academy (Geneva, Ohio) will also serve as the site for the 2015 MAC men’s swimming & diving championship. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has strategically positioned the MAC’s participation in hosting NCAA events and championships. The MAC will serve as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional and was recently awarded the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships as both events will take place at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. The MAC has also hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under his direction. In 2013, the MAC had five programs receive football bowl invitations: Bowling Green (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl), Northern Illinois (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl), Ball State (GoDaddy Bowl), Buffalo (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl) and Ohio (Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg). The MAC had three programs with 10 or more wins (Northern Illinois 12-2; Ball State 10-3; Bowling Green 10-4) which tied for third among FBS conferences (ACC, Big 12 and Conference USA), trailing only the SEC and Pac-12. Last December Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student-athlete. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC studentathlete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders in the 2014 NFL Draft. Mack’s selection was the highest ever for the Buffalo program and the second-highest ever selection for a MAC student-athlete. This marked the second consecutive year for the MAC to have its two highest ever selections in the NFL Draft. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft. In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. The MAC also had four football programs ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio— as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Raton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, Miami Beach, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. for a six-year period (2014-2019). The creation of the Boca Raton, Bahamas and Miami Beach Bowls is the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a six-year rotating basis. The Boca Raton Bowl will be owned and operated by ESPN and will be played at FAU Stadium, an open air stadium which seats nearly 30,000 fans on the campus

of Florida Atlantic University. The Bahamas Bowl will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Miami Beach Bowl will be played at Marlins Park. The Camellia Bowl, based in Montgomery, Ala., is owned and operated by ESPN and will be played in the Cramton Bowl, a 25,000 seat stadium. The MAC is also a partner with the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl as a primary partner in 2017 and 2019, and a secondary partner in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 bowl seasons. The MAC will play the Mountain West in both the 2017 and 2019 bowl seasons, played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Starting in the 2014 season, the MAC will have a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportunities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the GoDaddy Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC is in the sixth year of its eight-year rights agreement (through 20162017 academic years) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most extensive in the history of the conference. The agreement calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship Game and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. In men’s basketball, the MAC witnessed the No. 1 seed Western Michigan win its first MAC Men’s Basketball Tournament since 2004. The MAC had five programs invited to postseason tournaments (NCAA-Western Michigan; NIT-Toledo; CIT-Akron, Eastern Michigan and Ohio). Eastern Michigan advanced to the CIT Second Round, while Ohio advanced to the CIT Quarterfinals. Buffalo senior forward Javon McCrea was named Associated Press AllAmerican Honorable Mention. During the 2013-14 academic year, the University of Akron men’s soccer team won its tenth MAC championship and sixth in the last seven years. The Zips defeated Indiana in the 2013 NCAA first round before falling to Marquette, which snapped a string of five consecutive NCAA Round of 16 appearances. Akron witnessed senior Aodhan Quinn selected as one of 15 semifinalists for the prestigious Hermann Trophy. MAC affiliate member West Virginia had junior Andy Bevin named to the Capital One Academic All-America First Team. The MAC had two student-athletes selected in the first round of the 2013 Major League Soccer Supplemental Draft – No. 3 overall Akron goalkeeper David Meyes (Portland Timbers) and No. 12 overall West Virginia defender Eric Schoenle (Philadelphia Union). In wrestling, the MAC welcomed Missouri, Northern Iowa and Old Dominion as affiliate members over the last two seasons. Missouri won the 2014 conference tournament title for the second consecutive year. True freshman J’Den Cox of Missouri won the 197 lb. national championship to become the ninth MAC wrestler to win

Eastern Michigan University Where We’re Located

Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, about 10 miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, technological and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe. EMU’s 800 plus-acre campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted more than 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique

In 1849, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a University, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The university currently serves 23,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses, a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners, and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Our Students

With nearly 23,000 students, EMU provides a rich learning environment for the campus community. The University currently has approximately 18,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduate students. Our students represent 45 states and 93 foreign countries. Of undergraduate students, 72 percent are fulltime and 57 percent are women. The most popular majors are education, business, social sciences and history, science and engineering, English, and the health professions. EMU’s undergraduate population is approximately 65 percent white; 21 percent black; 2 percent international; 2.5 percent Asian-American; 2 percent Hispanic, 0.5 percent Native-American, and 7 percent not answered (i.e. elected not to respond to this inquiry). Eastern Michigan offers a number of special academic programs to help students succeed. These include the Honors College; the Holman Success Center; distance learning; accelerated format programs; online, weekend and evening programs and courses; American Humanics certification; Study Abroad Tours; a specialized master’s degree program for corporations offered onsite; a double master’s degree; online technologies for education and training. With more than 200 academic and social organizations, an extensive intramural sports program, 21 NCAA Division I-A sports and numerous cultural activities from which to choose, EMU students have diverse opportunities to become involved in campus life.

Community Outreach

EMU’s Economic Impact

Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3.7 billion annually reflects a return of more than $42 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $166 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.87 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on community building and civic engagement, quality, community and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well-known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

The Alumni Association

Representing more than 142,000 alumni and friends, the Alumni Association sponsors social and service-related programs for more than 20 geographically-based and special-interest alumni chapters.

Our History

1897: MSNS is the first U.S. teacher’s college to become a four-year institution.

Founded in 1849, when the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times, adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975, and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently ,Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs and numerous community-focused institutes. The university has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a FrenchCanadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 workers.

Rynearson Stadium

Rynearson Stadium begins its 46th season at the home venue for the Eastern Michigan University football and track teams in 2014-15. Opened in 1969, the facility is named for the late Elton J. Rynearson, Sr., who coached football at Eastern Michigan for 26 seasons. His teams compiled a record of 114-58-15. In one six-year period, from 1925-30, Rynearson’s teams won 40 games, tied two and lost just four. The first game played in Rynearson Stadium was Sept. 27, 1969, when EMU upset the University of Akron, 10-3. The stadium was dedicated a few weeks later on Oct. 25, 1969, when EMU lost, 17-7, to the University of Tampa. Just over two million fans have seen EMU play in Rynearson. In 22 of the 45 years, Eastern has averaged more than 11,000 fans per home date. The 1995 season proved to be the record-breaking year for Rynearson Stadium attendance. A single-game record crowd of 25,009 was on hand, Sept. 16, 1996, to watch the Eagles dismantle UNLV, 51-6. That four-game ‘95 season also proved to be a best for season average attendance of 22,602. Rynearson Stadium is set up for a capacity of 30,200 with the ability to expand for larger crowds. The stadium originally held 15,500, but additional seating and lighting were added in 1974 when the now-defunct Detroit Wheels used the facility for their World Football League games. The additional seating in 1974 brought the capacity to 22,227. During the summer of 1992, seating was added on the east side to bring capacity to the current total of 30,200. Built for an approximate cost of $1.4 million in 1969, Rynearson Stadium underwent a major renovation project in 1991 and 1992, which included installation of a StadiaTurf field, a new team building, an additional 10,000-plus seats, new bathroom facilities and concession stands, an expanded press box and stateof-the-art scoreboard were added at a cost of approximately $13 million. The playing field was originally natural grass. A sand-filled artificial surface, StadiaTurf, was installed in 1991. The StadiaTurf surface was replaced in May 1998, by an AstroTurf artificial surface. A FieldTurf surface was installed in the summer of 2005 and replaced again in 2014. The press box is located on the top of the west-side stands. A second level was added as part of the renovations in 1991. The working media utilize the lower level while the top level is the University hospitality area for the stadium. The EMU locker room is located in the team building at the north end of the stadium. The visitor’s locker room is located below the stands on the west side of the stadium.

Convocation Center

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in its 16th season as the crown jewel of EMU athletics, opened up a new era of excitement on the west campus of EMU in the fall of 1998. The state-of-the-art, $29-million facility is the result of a decade-long effort to improve and upgrade university facilities and followed closely the opening of the $41-million Bruce T. Halle Library on the main campus. Construction of the Convocation Center began in the spring of 1997 and culminated with its dedication game, Dec. 9, 1998, with a men’s basketball game against the University of Michigan in front of a crowd of 7,647. Since its opening, the Convocation Center has served as home court for the Eagles’ men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The EMU wrestling team and women’s gymnastics team have held several meets on the arena floor. The Convocation Center has also served as the site for five Mid-American Conference Championships. EMU hosted the 2000, 2007 and 2014 MAC Gymnastics Championship and the 2002 and 2009 MAC Wrestling Championship. The arena has been the host site for eight first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, five first-round games for the men’s basketball squad and four first-round MAC Volleyball Tournament games. The building also played host for the EMU women’s basketball team’s upset of the University of Michigan in the First Round of the 2011 Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) and a pair of contests during the 2014 Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI). Meanwhile, the EMU men’s basketball team hosted the first round of the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Tournament for the program’s first postseason home game. The Convocation Center also played host to the 2008 WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals and the WNBA Championship, as the Detroit Shock utilized the facility for the playoffs. Along with their commitment to EMU Athletics, the Convocation Center staff has brought some of the finest entertainers in the world to Ypsilanti. The Convo has hosted acts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smashmouth, Ludacris, Bob Dillion, Toby Keith, Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Chapelle, John Mayer and Jay-Z. The Convocation Center is also the site for EMU’s spring and winter commencement ceremonies.

130

Among other events that have taken place include numerous youth sporting competitions, high school commencements, trade shows, job fairs, conventions, charity and community awareness events as well as a circus. The 204,316-square-foot facility features three user-friendly levels — arena, concourse and office — and three seating configurations to maximize crowd capacity and space usage. The largest seating capacity is for center-stage entertainment activities, with 9,500 seats available. The capacity for basketball games is approximately 8,800. EMU’s athletic administration is located on the office level, along with offices for the EMU football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball coaching staffs. The EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, as well as offices for the Convocation Center staff, are located on the office level. The main athletic training room and office space for EMU’s sports medicine staff is located on the arena level as are strength and conditioning facilities and equipment rooms. In the summer of 2012, the Convocation Center received a major face-lift, as a YESCO four-sided ceiling hung display sign, featuring video boards on all four sides, was installed above center court in the arena. The fixture features four 10MM full color video boards, with each board’s active area measuring 15.7-foot wide by 11.5-foot tall. In addition, the system also features three ribbon displays on the west and east sides and under the scoreboard. The arena will also showcase an integrated light emitting diode (LED) courtside scorer’s table. There is no doubt that the Convocation Center has become a special place for athletic events, but there is a warm spot in the hearts of Eastern Michigan fans for Bowen Field House, the home for men’s and women’s basketball games for 43 years. Bowen was built in 1955 at a cost of $1.25 million. The facility has 79,529 square feet of floor space and includes an eight-laps-to-the-mile indoor track. An additional 9,394 square feet, along with new permanent seating, a new court and upgrading of the facility was completed in 1982 at a cost of $506,938. Bowen still serves as home to EMU’s track teams and also serves as a practice facility for many of Eastern’s varsity squads.

Indoor Practice Facility

The word came early on a chilly, but calm Sunday morning, Feb. 7, 2010. After a series of delays caused by snow and wind — and with a big storm coming later that week — it was time to raise the roof on Eastern Michigan’s new indoor, multi-purpose athletic practice facility. Workers started at 7 a.m. and, by 9 a.m., the big, white, synthetic roof had billowed to its full height. Inside, members of EMU’s physical plant staff and construction workers admired the expansive space and thought of the athletes that would bring the place to life in the months to come. It was an improbable event, considering work on completing such a facility and inflating the roof took place heading into and during a Michigan winter. But mild late fall weather helped workers and staff accomplish a great deal, such as pouring 2.5 million pounds of footings concrete. Light snow in January also helped. The area experienced less than 10 inches that year, compared to more than 30 inches in 2009. A one-inch dusting of snow delayed the inflation, but only for several days. The facility, which costs $3.9 million, is located on Westview Drive, off Huron River Drive, at the northeast corner of Rynearson Stadium. The building will enable EMU’s collegiate athletic teams and the Ypsilanti community to continue playing and practicing despite inclement weather. The facility will support intramural, recreational and club sporting events, as well as local sports leagues. The facility is 410 feet long, 210 feet wide and 75 feet tall. It includes a welcome center and convertible space that can be configured for a football field, an international soccer field or four youth soccer fields. Leasing revenues are projected to cover maintenance and operating costs. Despite the light Sunday mood, plenty of work remained after the inflation. Workers had to unfreeze the ground, level the concrete, install synthetic turf and complete the welcome center. The parking lot was then completed in warmer weather. The Board of Regents approved the plan for the indoor facility at its June 2009 meeting, and it was unanimously approved by the state’s Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee in September. The project was funded by the 2005 tuition increase, four percent of which was specifically dedicated to enhance the university’s infrastructure. The four percent increase (or approximately $4.4 million) has accumulated for the past four years, creating a pool of $17.6 million.

The EMU Identity Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname “Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites,”“Men from Ypsi”and various other titles through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the result of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriateness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Native American logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets

A Look Back at EMU’s Logos

“Eastern Eagles, hats off to you! Fight, fight, fight for ole EMU. Look to the sky, the Eagles will fly, the bravest we’ll defy. ... Rah,rah, rah!”

1995-2001

WHAT IS COMPLIANCE? At Eastern Michigan University, the Office of Compliance works within the department of athletics and the University to ensure EMU's compliance with all applicable NCAA, MAC and institutional rules. In doing so, the compliance office is charged with the following tasks: • Educating administrators, coaches, staff, prospective student-athletes, current student-athletes and boosters about NCAA, MAC and institutional rules; • Developing monitoring systems to ensure compliance with NCAA, MAC and institutional rules (e.g., recruiting, academic eligibility, financial aid, awards and benefits, amateurism and agents); • Investigating and reporting violations of NCAA, MAC and institutional rules. ARE YOU A BOOSTER? You are a booster if you are or ever have: • Been a member of a booster organization that supports EMU athletics (e.g., EMU Athletic Club, E-Gridiron Group); • Made any financial contributions to the athletics department; • Been involved in promoting EMU's athletics program; • Been a season ticket holder; or • Provided benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their relatives or friends. You can become a booster if you provide benefits to prospects, student-athletes, their relatives or friends and any of the following statements are true: • The relationship between the athlete (or parents of the athlete) and the individual providing the benefits developed as a result of the athlete's participation in athletics or their reputation as an athlete; • The relationship began only after the athlete become a prospect; • The relationship began only after the athlete had achieved notoriety due to his or her athletic ability or reputation; • The pattern of benefits increased after the athlete attained notoriety as a talented athlete.

ONCE A BOOSTER ALWAYS A BOOSTER. Once an individual is identified as a booster, the person retains that identity forever! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU's athletics program. WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE? A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade, students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered prospects. An individual remains a prospect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent. WHAT IS AN EXTRA BENEFIT? An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a EMU employee or booster to provide a prospect, student-athlete or their relatives or friends a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to, the following: • Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any other tangible item; • A special discount, payment arrangement or credit on any purchase or service; • Loan of money or co-signing of loans; • A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transportation expenses; • Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or rentals; • Entertainment on- or off-campus; or • Free or reduced-cost rent or housing. WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? EMU is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster provides an impermissible benefit to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a violation occurs, regardless of intention, it can: • Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective and current student-athletes; • Result in the EMU athletics program being penalized by the NCAA and/or the MidAmerican Conference; and • Cause you to lose benefits or privileges associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privileges). QUESTIONS? The above information is a brief overview of compliance and rules pertaining to boosters and their interactions with prospective studentathletes. If you have any questions about any NCAA, MAC or institutional rules, please contact the Christopher Hoppe at 734.487.3263 or choppe3@emich.edu.

Student-Athlete Support Student-Athlete Support Services

Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success. At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an academic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, providing learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and university rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the studentathlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other university student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and providing additional help with courses when requested.

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine

The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long history and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara MasterHunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Additionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medicine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes. At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: To provide a high standard of medical care through effective preventive and management programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilitation process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well. The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facilities in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning

Our Sports Performance Program applies a complete approach to scientifically and practically progress each individual athlete. Our purpose is to improve all components that will aid in achieving maximal athletic performance while reducing the occurrence of injury. We incorporate athletic based, free weight, multi-joint, and multi-directional movements which vary from a diverse collection of strength and conditioning disciplines to prepare each athlete for the general and specific demands of their sport. Standards that will be implemented at all times are: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Quality before Quantity, and Execution before Innovation. Assuming quality thought and effort have been put into a sports performance program, all else being equal, the program feels that these three components are usually separating an elite level program from the average. Incorporating Daily Competitions – The ability for athletes to compete in an every day setting is critical to the success of team and individual sports. Anything from team relay’s, to 1 on 1 tug of wars, to using a dumbbell weight heavier than the previous week. I simply make the statement to my teams, “WIN THE DAY.” Work harder – beat your last weeks sets/reps/weight/time, COMPETE! There is competitive nature in all mankind. Sometimes it takes a little extra effort on the coaching end to see it. Fill your team with competitors and your program will take care of itself. Physical and Mental Sport Transfer – Training to the specifics of the sport, and style that the head coaches are teaching is an essential way to succeed at any level. Find out what the sport coaches are looking to achieve and speak their same language. You are an addition to their staff, hop on board and cater your philosophy to their needs. Giving each athlete specific examples of on field/on court experiences where success can either be earned or an opportunity can be lost. Being able to make athlete’s understand the importance of mental toughness that is needed in the weight room and how it transfers over to their sport. The pain, the physical and mental struggles they endure in each training session is setting them up for success for their competitive season. Fight for every rep just as you would for any rebound, blocked shot, interception, or stolen base. Make references back to their closest contests that might have been decided by one play – (or one rep). Positive Influential Environment – Do athletes leave the weight room looking to return for more or dreading the next time they have to mope through one of the most silent hours of their day? Each session, from the minute the first athlete walks in, to the last grueling minute they are dragging out, fill the room with ENERGY!!! Push them through their toughest moments and coach every rep. Show each and every athlete that you care about their progress. Stay vocal, provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism, play that latest hip-hop track and find a way to create a positive training environment.

The Football News -Third Team All-American

Charles Gordon earned honorable mention Division I All-American honors by the Associated Press for helping lead the 1987 EMU football team to the Mid-American Conference championship and a victory in the California Bowl. A sophomore defensive back, Gordon was named to the All-American Sophomore Team by The Football News and was also a firstteam All-MAC performer in ‘87. He helped lead the Hurons to a school-record 10-2 record, the first-ever MAC football championship, and a 30-27 win over San Jose State in the California Bowl. Gordon led the team in interceptions with five.

L.J. Shelton was named third-team All-America by The Football News after the 1998 season. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound Shelton, was a twotime, first-team All-Mid-American Conference selection at offensive left tackle. He became the first player in EMU football history to earn invitations to four post-season senior All-Star games. Shelton chose to participate in just one post-season game, the Senior Bowl, and he played the entire game at offensive left tackle. Shelton then became the highest draft choice in school history when he was the 21st pick in the 1999 National Football League Draft as a first-round selection of the Arizona Cardinals. Ron Johnson was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 22nd pick in the first round of the 1977 draft.

* The 2004-2007 seasons included one neutral-site game, the Collegiate Clash played at Ford Field in Detroit. All four of those games counted in the total home attendance but not in the Rynearson Stadium overall record or attendance figures. In 2004 at Ford Field the Eagles won a dramatic 61-58 four-overtime decision over Central Michigan before 24,423 fans. The 2005 game at Ford Field, between EMU and Western Michigan, was an equally exciting game with WMU taking a 44-36 win before 11,191 fans. In 2006, Navy used a strong ground game to record a 49-21 win, while in 2007 Northwestern pulled out a 26-14 victory in front of a national television audience on ESPNU. #Official paid attendance

This is the 46th year that Eastern Michigan University has called Rynearson Stadium home. Just over two million fans have seen EMU play in Rynearson. In 22 of the 45 years, Eastern has averaged more than 11,000 fans per home date. The 1995 season proved to be the record-breaking year for Rynearson Stadium attendance. A single-game record crowd of 25,009 was on hand, Sept. 16, 1996, to watch the Eagles dismantle UNLV, 51-6. That four-game ‘95 season also proved to be a best for season average attendance of 22,602. The stadium is named after legendary Eastern Michigan coach Elton J. Rynearson, Sr. He was the head football coach for 28 seasons and complied a win-loss record of 114-58-15, including one stretch from 1925-33 when his teams lost just six games. Rynearson served the school for 46 years as a football and basketball coach as well as athletics director.

EMU Did You Know?

Bob Navarro (1987-90) was named first team All-Mid-American Conference and to The SportingNews Honorable Mention All-American team in 1989 after leading EMU with 12 interceptions. The mark still stands as a school record for a single season.

The seasons from 1925-38 are referred to as the “Glory Years” in the annals of Eastern Michigan University football. Elton J. Rynearson, Sr. returned to the University as head coach in 1925 and led the team to an 8-0 overall record and a 5-0 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) title. Starting with the 1925 season, Eastern recorded an 8019-7 record through the 1938 season. The banner year may have been the 1930 season when the football squad posted a 6-1 record, losing only to the University of Michigan by a 7-0 decision before 78,247 fans in Ann Arbor.

Lional Dalton, a two-time first team All-MidAmerican Conference selection in 1996 and 1997, was not drafted by any NFL team. However, he has proven the skeptics wrong, playing in the league for eight seasons, including playing on the 2000 Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens. He has then moved on to play for both the Denver Broncos and the Washington Redskins.

There were few observers that gave the Eastern Michigan University football team any chance of winning a battle with San Jose State University at the 1987 California Bowl. In fact, the oddsmakers made the Big West Champion Spartans of San José State a 17-point favorite in the matchup with Mid-American Conference champion Eastern Michigan. But Head Coach Jim Harkema’s “Road Warriors” proved that desire and determination could overcome those odds as Eastern recorded a thrilling 30-27 victory. The EMU offense ground out 212 yards rushing, including 130 yards from MVP Gary Patton in the win. The EMU defense also rose to the occasion, holding San Jose State to 81 yards rushing.

Eastern Michigan’s first-ever postseason bowl appearance would be a real challenge as the then-Hurons, ranked No. 3 in the NCAACollege Division national poll, would face off against a Louisiana Tech squad that was the No. 5 squad in the country, in the first Pioneer Bowl in Wichita Falls, Texas. Head Coach Dan Boisture’s squad entered the bowl game as one of the top defensive clubs in the country, allowing just one touchdown in the final five games of the 1971 season. While the defensive team was prepared for the bowl game, the offensive unit was trying to patch together an offensive backfield that had been crippled by injuries late in the season. Larry Ratcliff, Eastern’s standout tailback, suffered a season-ending knee injury in the seventh game of the season, Oct. 30 against Northern Michigan. Ratcliff’s backup, Don Madden, was also sidelined with an injury, leaving the vaunted EMU rushing game looking for a leader. Seldom-used tailback Tim Packrall stepped in and rushed for a game-high 122 yards on 31 carries but the EMU offense could muster just one score, a 22-yard field goal by Jackson Nunn. Louisiana Tech added a 91-yard punt return by Wenford Wilborn in the third quarter and the Bulldogs went on to post a 14-3 victory. That loss was the lone defeat for EMU on the way to a 7-1-2 overall mark in 1971.

Team Records BIGGEST COMEBACK

EMU trailed by 21 points Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010, as Ball State raced out to a 21-point lead midway through the second quarter before the Eagles mounted the biggest comeback in school history. Eastern rallied to out-score the Cardinals, 41-17 the rest of the way for the 41-38 overtime win. The only other EMU team to rally for 20 points or more was the 2000 squad that came back from a 32-12 deficit to score 27 unanswered points to defeat Northern Illinois, 39-32, Nov. 11, in Rynearson Stadium.

The offensive output marked the third time an EMU team was held under 100 yards since the 1968 season. During the 1992 campaign, the Eagles gained 89 yards at the Glass Bowl in Toledo, Nov. 14, 1992.

Akron 10-23-76 09-25-10 09-22-12 11-23-12 DIVERSITY MILESTONE On Oct. 23, 2010 when Eastern Michigan University and the University of 10-26-13 Virginia met on the football field, another milestone on the landscape of diversity and opportunities for coaches and administrators in intercollegiate athletics was realized. Not only did the game mark the 1,000th for the Eastern Michigan football program, it will also be a noteworthy day for minority football coaches and athletic directors on the Division I FBS and FCS levels (excluding historically black colleges). Mike London (football coach) and Craig Littlepage (athletic director) of the University of Virginia hosted Ron English (football coach) and Dr. Derrick Gragg (athletic director) of Eastern Michigan University. This group has the distinction of achieving a unique milestone on the landscape of intercollegiate diversity in sport. Although no official NCAA record currently exists, the 2010 Eastern Michigan vs. Virginia football game was believed to be the first football game on the Division I level with the opposing coaches and athletic directors being African-Americans.
