The first year of intercollegiate football in Ypsilanti was 1891, when the team posted an 0-2 record. EMU has fielded a team every year since 1891 with one exception, when the 1944 season was canceled because of World War II.

record books, becoming the leader in career kick returns with 131, surpassing former Eagle Trumaine Riley for the top spot on both charts. Allen ended his career as not only the career kick return leader, but also the EMU career kick return yardage leader with 2,664 yards, which also ranks second all-time in the conference. Redshirt-freshman quarterback Reginald Bell Jr. also burst on to the national scene, as he was one of just seven quarterbacks nationally to lead his team in both passing and rushing yardage. Bell finished the year with the 19th-most total yards of offense in EMU single-season history, while posting the second-most yardage by one individual in program history when he piled up 510 yards of total offense at Ball State, Nov. 22. For their season-long efforts, six players were selected for College Football Weekly Performance Awards, three took home All-MAC accolades and three Eagles earned MAC West Division Player of the Week honors. THIRD QUARTER DEFENSE: Coming out for the start of the second half, the Eagles made adjustments to the defensive scheme that worked in 2014. The third quarter was the best for the Eagles’ defense, holding teams to under a touchdown average (4.5 points) during that 15-minute span. Over the final seven contests, Eastern’s defense only gave up a combined 22 points in the third quarter of play. POC-MAN: Much like Pac-Man in the 1980s arcade game that became a pop culture phenomenon, Pat O’Connor gobbled up the opposition behind the line of scrimmage this season. The team co-captain led the Mid-American Conference in sacks as well as ranking fourth in tackles-for-loss, pushing opponents back a combined 73 yards on 14 tackles-for-loss. O’Connor was among the top-50 sack leaders throughout the country, sitting at No. 44 with 7.5 sacks. The Windy City native also became just the second EMU player to lead the conference in sacks, joining Troy Campbell who turned in eight quarterback takedowns during the 1998 campaign.

40th FOR THE MAC: The 2015 season marks the 40th year that the Eagles have been a part of the Mid-American Conference football championship race. EMU was admitted into the league in 1971, but a complete league schedule was not THE AIR AND GROUND ASSAULT: Redshirt-freshman quarterback Reginald available until the 1976 season. Bell finished in some select company as he was one of just seven quarterbacks nationally that led his team in both passing and rushing yardage.

The defense will feature six GREAT TACKLING GREAT IBE: Right in the middle of the Eastern defense, redshirtstarters from last season, while the offense returns just five. junior Great Ibe showed his versatility between rushing the quarterback and dropping back into coverage.

Senior Leadership Trip

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – For Eastern Michigan University Head Football Coach Chris Creighton, being a coach is about so much more than just what happens on the field. On May 29-30, Creighton, staff and 10 members of EMU's senior class made the trek to Colorado for the annual senior leadership trip. The retreat, meant to be used as a leadership and bonding experience, started with white water rafting the Royal Gorge and the Arkansas River before the group hiked up Pikes Peak, which has an altitude of 14,114 feet above sea level and is the 31st highest out of the 54 Colorado peaks. The group of veteran student-athletes — Dustin Creel (Industry, Pa.- Western Beaver), Clay Dawson (Phoenix, Ariz. -Crestview College Prep-Phoenix College), Great Ibe (Hanover, Md.Meade-Concordia), Darian Miles (Southfield, Mich.-Southfield), Dylan Mulder (Saline, Mich.-Saline), Arron Pipkins (Maple Heights, Ohio-Maple Heights), Pat O'Connor (Chicago, Ill.Saint Rita), Kris Strange (Pickerington, Ohio-Central), Ray Tillman (Auburn Hills, Mich.-Avondale) and Jalen Williams (Southfield, Mich.-Lathrup) — encountered many challenges, including the dramatic change in altitude as well as a snowy conditions near the summit. During Creighton's introductory press conference at the Convocation Center in December 2013, he promised to make being part of the Eastern Michigan program a memorable one. "We have a vision and we want to make the experience of playing football at Eastern Michigan University one of 8

the most incredible experiences of their lives," remarked Creighton during his hiring press conference. "This game is about relationships. We have the chance to do life intensely for four and a half years, and after that." True to his word, Creighton is continuing to deliver on the promise. Last year, Creighton and 16 members of EMU's 2014 senior class made the inaugural trip out west on a journey that lasted more than 11 hours up Pikes Peak. "As a team, the closer you are off the field, the tighter you're going to be on the field," Creighton mentioned. "Football is meant to be played not only with your teammates but for your teammates. Getting to the level where you put your team above yourself doesn't just happen, it takes a trip like this to develop the intensity of relationships needed to reach that point." During his distinguished career, Creighton has taken great pride in the student-athlete experience that transcends the football field and the classroom. As head coach at Ottawa (Kan.) University from 1997-2000, Creighton accompanied his team to Pikes Peak, and later took his Wabash College squad to Austria in 2003 and Panama in 2006. Each trip featured community service, sightseeing, and a football game. In 2011, Creighton took the Drake University football team on a two-week experience to Africa in 2011 for the inaugural Global Kilimanjaro Bowl as well as the ascension of 19,340foot Mt. Kilimanjaro. The leadership trip was paid for out of funds raised through the team's annual golf outing.

Victory Day

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University football team hosted cognitively and physically impaired children for EMU Victory Day, an exciting event of football related activities in The Factory at Rynearson Stadium, May 21. Student-athletes as well as the coaching staff took part in the event, putting smiles on the faces of over 45 kids throughout the local community. The day began as kids walked on the field through a tunnel consisting of EMU football players and the cheer team. Making their way to midfield, the kids’ names were announced one-by-one with their picture and bio information flashing on the scoreboard as if they were part of the starting lineup on an EMU football gameday. Following the national anthem, EMU Head Football Coach Chris Creighton joined participants for the coin toss to officially begin the football activities. The participants split into two groups in which they went through individual drills and others took the field to compete in a game-like setting. On the drills side, stations consisted of throwing nets, agility bags, kicking, and much more. The other half lined up with EMU players to run plays against the defense, trying to score a touchdown. After each participant scored a touchdown, the two groups switched stations in order

to have a chance to take part in every activity. Following the interactive opportunities on the field, Creighton and the team presented each child with a medal before posing for a group photo and wrapping up the day by singing the EMU fight song. After singing alongside the athletes and cheerleaders, everyone welcomed EMU’s own live eagle to the field as everyone involved congregated at midfield for a group photo with the eagle before concluding the festivities with a luncheon on the track in The Factory at Rynearson Stadium. Victory Day was started in 2010 by Trenton teacher and varsity football defensive coordinator Aaron Segedi. Aaron, a native of Riverview, was diagnosed with cancer in 2005, which was brought on by a rare condition known as primary sclerosing cholangitis. As a football coach, Aaron lives by the philosophy that building character holds equal importance to teaching X’s and O’s, if not more. Victory Day was developed as a vehicle to teach this virtue, as well as a way to give back to the community. What started out as an idea filled with uncertainty has since developed into a rapidly growing phenomenon as the program has already been adopted by various schools in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Welcome to “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 prepared 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:

The concept of the “EMU Gray” field was born during one of the squad's notoriously 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 was replaced this July. Utilizing the colors gray, green and white, the Block E logo is at the 50-yard line while the logo for the MAC adorns the field as well. The playing surface is gray with white hashmarks and numbers, while the end zones are 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 40 members of the 2014 squad are from the state of Michigan. 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.

Home of the “EMU Gray” Turf

Building Blocks When Head Coach Chris Creighton came onboard in 2014 he helped establish some new EMU initiatives. • The Wrench - a 51-pound pipe wrench given to Coach Creighton. It helps serve as a symbol of the team’s mission to “close the gap.” The tool’s vices represent the gap. • The Wall - prior to running onto the field at home games EMU will break through a cinder block wall. • Hammers of the Week - the coaching staff will select hammers of the week for the big hit of the week. The selected players will have their number put on the sledge hammers used to knock down the wall. • Turn it Up, Turn It Green - a pregame prep rally inside the Convocation Center. The football team will arrive with a special performance by the EMU marching band.

Beginning with the 2014 campaign, EMU installed gray field turf at Rynearson Stadium. The following records apply only since the switch to the new color and the moniker of “The Factory.” First game on gray artificial turf: Aug. 30, 2014 - Eastern Michigan 31, Morgan St. 28 First EMU Touchdown on the Gray Turf: Darius Jackson vs. Morgan State - 1 yard rush with 3:06 left in the 1st Quarter - Aug. 30, 2014 First EMU Passing Touchdown on the Gray Turf: Reginald Bell to David Gibson vs. Buffalo with 11:16 left in the 3rd Quarter- Oct. 11, 2014 First Visitor Touchdown on the Gray Turf: Lamont Brown III - 3 yard rush with 8:08 left in the 1st Quarter - Aug. 30, 2014

Turf Facts • Construction began on July 14, 2014, and was completed on Aug. 3, 2014. • EMU is just the second Football Bowl Subdivision team to play on a non-green playing surface joining Boise State University. Other non-green football playing fields in all of college football include Coastal Carolina University, Eastern Washington University, Lindenwood University-Belleville, the University of Central Arkansas and the University of New Haven. • The field is made up of 86,336 square feet of field turf, 48,340 of which dons the “EMU Gray” color. • The construction crew laid down 268 tons of sand, with 224,474 lbs. of rubber mixed • On the top layer of the turf, 35,535 lbs. of rubber pellets were laid atop the new playing surface inside Rynearson Stadium. • The Block E at midfield is 31-feet long by 26-feet wide • The two Mid-American Conference logos are 16-feet tall by 17-fet long

“The wrench, the field, the concrete wall, we know people will have comments, but they all have real meaning for us. It all goes back to the idea of investing, and working for something. It is about putting on those steel-toed boots, and going to work.” - Head Coach Chris Creighton

• Each yard-line number on the field is approximately 6-feet long

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 Second Year at EMU • Kenyon, 1991 Follow coach on twitter: @Coach_Creighton

Chris Creighton was named 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 second season as the head man at EMU in the 2015 season. During his 18-year head coaching career, the 46-year-old Creighton has accumulated eight conference titles and an all-time record of 141-56 (.716 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 studentathletes 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 first year in Ypsilanti, Creighton’s Eagles finished the regular season ranked nationally in the top-60 in nine statistical categories to go along with six top-five rankings in the MAC standings. Nationally, EMU finished the year tied with Georgia Tech, Northwestern and Oklahoma State for most blocked kicks with six. The six rejections were the most since the 2009 season when the Green and White also blocked six kicks. The defense improved from a season prior, as the squad recorded more tackles-for-loss (63), pass breakups (36), fumbles forced (9), fumbles recovered (6), and kicks blocked (6) than it did in all of 2013. Meanwhile, EMU’s offense racked up 1,654 yards on the ground and 1,821 yards though the air. 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 11game home win streak during Creighton’s tenure as well as winning 16-straight 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 then-school record 61 Bulldogs were named to the PFL Academic Honor Roll for achieving a gradepoint 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 student-athletes, athletic administrators, civic leaders, coaches, parents, organizations, and other individuals who demonstrate

"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 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 student-athlete experience that transcends to the 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 thenschool-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 third-

“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 place finish in the Pioneer Football League. Drake matched its best nine-game start in history (8-1) that year, while riding a six-game mid-season winning streak. 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 2001-07 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.

Assistant Coaches Assistant Coach

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

Entering his second year at EMU is Kalen DeBoer, who came to Ypsilanti after spending four years at Southern Illinois University. DeBoer will serve as the team’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. In his first year running the EMU offense, DeBoer helped redshirt-freshman quarterback Reginald Bell Jr. burst on to the national scene, as he was one of just seven quarterbacks nationally to lead his team in both passing and rushing yardage. Bell finished the year with the 19thmost total yards of offense in EMU single-season history, while posting the second-most yardage by one individual in program history when he piled up 510 yards of total offense at Ball State, Nov. 22. 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 three-time 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 AllMVFC 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 backto-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, 2813.

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

Entering his second year at EMU is Brad McCaslin, who came to Ypsilanti after spending 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 17 seasons. During that span, the squads won seven conference championships and posted a 65.6 winning percentage (126-66). In his first season in Ypsilanti, McCaslin’s defense showed vast improvement on the field, as the squad recorded more tackles-for-loss (63), pass breakups (36), fumbles forced (9), fumbles recovered (6), and kicks blocked (6) than it did in all of 2013. Individually, junior defensive lineman Pat O’Connor earned first team All-MAC honors while redshirt-junior linebacker Great Ibe claimed a spot on the league’s second team. O’Connor became just the second EMU player to lead the conference while sitting at No. 44 nationally with 7.5 sacks. In 2013, 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). He also served as associate head coach his final four seasons before UNO dropped its football program. As defensive coordinator at UNO, McCaslin oversaw a dramatic improvement across the entire unit. The 2007 Mavericks ranked first in the North Central Conference in scoring defense (16.8), turnover margin (+14) and rush defense (97.2). Their red zone defense also improved from worst to first in the NCC from 2006 to 2007. UNO players collected all three NCC Defensive MVP awards in 2007. McCaslin began his tenure at Nebraska-Omaha as a graduate student assistant coach for three seasons (1997-99) before becoming a full-time assistant in 2000, in charge of the defensive line. McCaslin’s units were quickly among the strongest in the conference. Among his star pupils was All-American Chris Cooper, a sixth-round draft pick who has spent nine seasons in the National Football League. He also coached Buck Rasmussen, who earned a Super Bowl ring in 2005 with the New England Patriots, and Kenny Onatolu, who played with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League before being signed by the Minnesota Vikings prior to the 2009 season. McCaslin spent four seasons as the team’s recruiting

In 2009, UNO finished third in the MidAmerican Intercollegiate Athletic Association in total defense and had the second-best rushing defense to go along with the league’s third-best passing defense.

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

Entering his second year at EMU is Ryan Grubb, who came to Ypsilanti after spending seven years at the University of Sioux Falls. Grubb will serve as the team’s offensive line coach. In his first season at EMU, Grubb’s offensive line helped the offense racked up 1,654 yards on the ground and 1,821 yards though the air. Before arriving in Ypsilanti, Grubb spent four seasons as offensive coordinator for the Cougars after a threeyear 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 all-conference 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 red-zone, 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 10th-best 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.

Jay Peterson, a former assistant coach at three NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools, is in his second tour as an assistant football coach at Eastern Michigan University in 2015. He will serve as the team’s running backs coach. A standout running back at Miami University, Peterson has 30 years of coaching experience at the professional, collegiate and high school levels. Peterson previously spent five years in Ypsilanti, when he served as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach from 2004-08, while also holding the title of assistant head coach during the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Peterson more recently completed a three-year stretch as an assistant coach at his alma mater. He served the final two seasons as the RedHawks’ defensive coordinator while also coaching the team’s linebackers. Under his tutelage, six of Peterson’s defensive players earned All-MAC honors in his three seasons. That total includes three-time First Team All-MAC defensive back Dayonne Nunley, who finished this season with 88 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one interception and 13 pass break-ups. Peterson joined the RedHawks after stops at Illinois State University and EMU. In his first season with the Redbirds, Peterson helped turn around a defensive unit that only totaled three interceptions and 11 quarterback sacks in 2009 and posted a turnover margin (-1.36) that ranked No. 115 nationally out of 118 FBS teams. The 2009 Redbird defense totaled 14 interceptions, the most for an ISU team since 2006 when the Redbirds picked off 17 passes, and recorded 25 sacks on the season. In five seasons, the Eastern Michigan defense improved dramatically, from a high of 469.6 yards allowed per game in 2004 to a drop of almost 100 yards in 2006, at 388.3 yards per game.

Under Peterson’s guidance, EMU linebacker Daniel Holtzclaw was named to the 2008 Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list and the 2008 Rotary Lombardi Award preliminary watch list. Holtzclaw was also named a freshman All-American in 2005 and a First Team All-MAC selection in 2007. Prior to joining the Eastern Michigan staff, Peterson spent five years at Big Ten Conference member Northwestern. While at Northwestern, Peterson served as the defensive line coach from 2002-03, after previously working with the Wildcat linebackers and special teams. In 2001, Northwestern’s linebackers were rated among the best in the nation, with two players, Kevin Bentley and Billy Silva, both making the Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list. He also coached Napoleon Harris, who was a first-round pick by the Oakland Raiders in 2002. Prior to his Northwestern stint, Peterson was an assistant coach in charge of linebackers and helped with the special teams at Miami from 199198. During his career at Miami, Peterson coached several All-MAC linebackers, including two-time MAC Defensive Player of the Year JoJuan Armour. Armour was named a third team All-American by the Associated Press. Another Peterson pupil, Dustin Cohen, was named third team All-America by The Football News, along with Armour. He has also spent time coaching in the professional ranks, as he spent three summers in the NFL Minority Coaching Internship program, serving various roles with the Indianapolis Colts (1995), Detroit Lions (1997) and Chicago Bears (2001). He was also an assistant football coach at three high schools in the Cincinnati, Ohio, area: Cadiz (1985-87), Anderson (1988-89) and Withrow Name: High School: College: Family:

(1990) high schools. Peterson was a standout running back for the then-Redskins, where he earned four varsity letters from 1980-83 at Miami.

As a player, he still has the fastest 40-yard dash time ever recorded at NU by a defensive end (4.6 electronic). He played in three bowl games with the Huskers and was named the defensive MVP of the 1980 Sun Bowl after Nebraska defeated Mississippi State, 31-17. He was inducted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame in 2001.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from William Tyndale College in Michigan in 1999 while coaching in the high school ranks.

“Battle for the Staff Room”

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles. com) – Teamwork. Focus. Execution. Those words are certainly attributes that help guide the Eastern Michigan University football coaching staff on the field, however, they took on a new meaning Thursday, April 30. The staff departed from its usual home inside “The Factory” at Rynearson Stadium and headed to Ford Lake for a morning on the water with the EMU women’s rowing team. “It was an awesome teamwork exercise and a fun competition,” said second-year Head Football Coach Chris Creighton. “We appreciate the rowing team for letting us come out here and do it. It was a great experience. My brother rowed, so I had a little bit of experience knowing how grueling the sport is. For our staff to be out here, with many in a shell for the first time, it’s hard to balance not to mention having to be so well coordinated to fly through the water like they do. Much respect has to be given to our rowing program.” The staff, which was split up into offensive and defensive teams, were briefed on the fundamentals of how to row before climbing into the eightman shells with some guidance from 78

a coxswain from the rowing squad. The coaching staff practiced the art of sweeping or rowing with one 12-footlong oar on one side of the boat. “Well, they looked like first-time rowers,” remarked first-year Head Rowing Coach Kemp Savage. “They picked up some things well and others were a little rough, but overall they did alright for the first time.” After a few test runs on the lake, the challenge was laid down and the “Battle for the Staff Room” was on with the winning team gaining control of the team’s staff meeting room in the Convocation Center. In the end, the offensive coaching staff prevailed in the race but it was not without a strong fight from the defensive side of the football. “The staff room is theirs,” joked Creighton. “They are going to stay in the room, which will make it a little more convenient.” “My kids really liked their enthusiasm, noted Savage. “It’s just nice, especially for my coswains, since they are here to be reminded of starting the first time and just some of the things that transfer in and some of the attention they notice now really helps bring up their level of understanding.”

Game 1 - Morgan State Game Day Statistics

Eagles Open Up Creighton Era With Victory at “The Factory” Eastern Michigan tops Morgan State, 31-28

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s football team kicked off its 123rd season on the brand new “EMU Gray” turf at Rynearson Stadium with a neck-and-neck, 31-28, victory over Morgan State University Saturday, Aug. 30. The Eagles had to wait through a 57-minute rain delay along with a last-second field goal attempt by the Bears to give Head Coach Chris Creighton his first win as an FBS Head Coach. EMU was led on the ground by Bronson Hill and Darius Jackson, who combined for 187 yards rushing. Hill surpassed the century mark for the 10th time in his career, going 114 yards on 19 carries. Jackson notched a career high in rushing with 73 yards on 17 carries and also set a career mark in receiving yards, pulling in five catches for 22 yards. Reginald Bell, Jr. led the offense, making a start in the first game of his collegiate career and throwing 11-for-16 with a total of 59 yards. The Eagle defense saw a career night from Pat O’Connor, who totaled 10 tackles, 1.5 sacks and three tackles for loss with a remarkable 20 yards in total loss. Also picking up 10 tackles were Hunter Matt and Great Ibe. Matt led the team in solo attacks, with six, while Ibe and O’Connor notched five apiece. Morgan State ran much of its offense through the air, as Robert Council went 18-for-28, throwing 269 yards for three touchdowns, including a 75yard score. Lamont Brown III paced the offense, rushing for 124 yards on 18 carries. The Bears had some fierce defenders, as four members of the MSU line had at least 10 tackles. Cody Acker led the way with 19, while Delonta Hall added 16, Peterson Janvier had 12, and Paul Eatman, Jr. recorded 11 stops. The Green and White was able to keep the Bears at bay for the first part of the opening drive, as Matt, Lavonte Robinson, and DaQuan Pace did their part in stopping Morgan State players off the pass. Council was able to break through the defense with a handful of rushes, culminating in a 23-yard rush along the left sideline before being denied entry into the end zone by Pace on the three-yard line. However, the Eagles were unable to stop the next play, as Council found his favorite target of the drive in Brown III for the first touchdown of the contest. An extra point from Chris Moller left the Green and White with a 7-0 deficit, but the Eagles had ample time to battle back with 8:08 remaining in the first quarter. After gaining possession of the pigskin for the first time in the 2014 campaign, the Eagles quickly gained a first down thanks to a stealthy sprint up the middle by Bell in his first appearance donning the Green and White. Bell kept his composure to help the Green and White move the chains another time by finding Tyreese Russell in the open pocket, tossing an easy 14-yard lob to find the senior on the MSU 36-yard line. Another throw along the left side found Jackson inside the red zone, and the Eagles found themselves at first and goal. A handoff to Jackson paved the way for the team’s first touchdown inside “The Factory,” and Dylan Mulder was able to convert the extra point to knot the score, 7-7, with 3:06 remaining. Riding the momentum from an outstanding offensive performance, the Eagle defense stepped up its game in the Bears’ next possession. Ibe made two consecutive stops to give MSU a third down before helping O’Connor slam Council back 10 yards, giving the Bears a highly lengthy fourth-and-14. The entirety of Rynearson Stadium was sent into a mad frenzy when Nathan Adams blocked the punt, recovered the ball, and scrambled into the end zone for another EMU touchdown. The blocked punt touchdown was the first since Travis Lewis accomplished the feat at Kent State University, Nov. 13, 2004. It was also just the third blocked punt return touchdown by an EMU squad since 1967. Mulder’s leg remained perfect on the extra point, giving the Eagles a quick command of the board with a 14-7 advantage with 54 seconds remaining. The Bears started off the second quarter with a bang as Council found Eme Akonawe open for a dash down the middle to the EMU 25-yard line before he was taken down by Willie Creear. MSU made a statement and fought back from its previous possession’s kerfuffle, making its way down the field to the 10-yard line. O’Connor made another tremendous sack on Council for a loss of 12 yards off an attempted third-down conversion. Gary White, Jr. then blocked the field goal attempt, the first time since a matchup against Kent State on Nov. 19, 2011, that an Eagle had done so. Bell turned to Ryan Brumfield on the Eagles’ next drive, as the senior running back helped the ball move 30 yards down the field. Bell found an open Brumfield for the rush into the end zone, this time making a 16-yard jaunt to elevate the Green and White’s lead to 21-7 with 6:49 to play. Unfortunately, the Bears picked up their offensive pace drastically on the next drive, thanks in large part to Brown III. The redshirt-sophomore running back moved the ball down the field 65 yards over four plays, breaking free for a 46-yard rush to a touchdown to put the Bears within seven points as the Eagles still led, 21-14, with 4:57 to play in the first half. The Eagles were unable to muster any points in the ensuing possession, and fell victim to another touchdown from the Bears as they deadlocked the score after going 80 yards in just eight plays and less than 90 seconds. With less than one minute remaining in the half, the score stood at 21-21.The Eagles made their way into MSU territory, but were unable to put any more points on the board before they made their way into the locker room at the close of the half. The Eagles were able to get the gears moving to start the second half with a ground attack by Hill and Jackson. However, the Green and White was unable to gain any momentum and was forced to concede a punt. Owen Dubiel was able to make the most of the situation, dropping the ball on the MSU five-yard line to give the Bears a challenging distance of 95 yards to travel. Though the Eagles had ample room to stop the Bears, they only allowed Morgan State to travel 15 yards down-field before regaining possession.

Brogan Roback entered the game to give the Eagles a fresh look at the quarterback position, but the veteran Eagle could not work any magic to give the Eagles the offensive spark that they needed. The Bears jumped at the opportunity to gather some more points of their own, and their effort proved fruitful when Council threw to Thomas Martin for a 75-yard touchdown. With 5:30 to play in the third quarter, the Eagles trailed once more by seven points, down 21-28. The previous MSU touchdown seemed to fire the Eagles up, especially Hill, who busted through the MSU defense and carried the ball 35 yards in four plays before the Bears called a timeout in an attempt to slow the determined senior. The defense keyed in on Hill when the teams took to the field again, and Roback found a new target in Dustin Creel, who had two catches for 15 yards to put the Eagles in the red zone. As the Bears turned their attention to Creel after the success of the previous plays, Brumfield took the ball and stomped through the line for a 14-yard rush, marking the second time in his career to score two rushing touchdowns in one contest, to equalize the score, 28-28, with two minutes to play in the quarter. Facing formidable winds and a 42-yard distance between his foot and the goal posts , Mulder was brought in for a field goal attempt with 13:41 left in the contest. The junior kicker rose to the occasion and sailed the ball through the uprights to give the Eagles the advantage once more, 31-28. The Bears were faced with a sturdy wall of defense on their next drive, capped off with a stellar tackle off a read on a screen pass from Matt. The Green and White was faced with a lofty task in making its way nearly the entire length of the field after MSU’s Lawrence Forbes delivered a punt on the one-yard line. Jackson barreled through the MSU defensive line to carry the ball 17 yards in three attempts. EMU’s momentum was halted due to inclement weather in the area and the contest was delayed for 57 minutes until the teams were allowed back on the field with 9:13 to play. When the game finally resumed in front of a small but loyal crowd of Eastern fans, the Eagles gave a valiant effort to advance the ball. Despite its best efforts, the team had to give up another punt. The Bears appeared refreshed by the game delay, as Brown ran 32 yards on the first play before Pace forced him out of bounds. But the EMU defense had not given up and returned to the ensuing plays more determined, resulting in a stripped ball by O’Connor to give the ball back to the Eagles with just 42 yards to the goal and 5:21 to play. Inspired by the change in game direction from the outstanding defensive play, the Eagles began to move the chains quickly with a pair of rushes by Hill to move the ball 25 yards up the field. The Green and White soon found itself within reasonable scoring distance and decided to go in for a field goal attempt, but Mulder’s kick veered off to the left and returned the ball to the Bears. MSU made a handful of scrambles toward the goal line before a fumble by Council dropped the Bears back to second-and-17. They were able to advance to fourth-and-nine at the EMU 38-yard line, giving Chris Moller a 55-yard attempt. A false start on the snap pushed the attempt back five yards, and MSU was unable to tie the contest, giving the Eagles the first win of the 2014 season and Coach Creighton’s first win as an FBS Head Coach. After the game, the team personally thanked the fans who remained throughout the entire game before heading into the locker room as victors.

Game 2 - Florida Game Day Statistics

Florida Hands EMU Football First Loss of the Season Eagles suffer a 65-0 defeat Saturday afternoon, Sept. 6 GAINESVILLE, Fla. (EMUGameDay.com) — In it first road contest of the 2014 season, the Eastern Michigan University football team suffered a 65-0 setback at the hands of the University of Florida Saturday afternoon, Sept. 6, at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The Gators’ offense jumped on the board early with 17 first quarter points as the Eagles were kept off the scoreboard for the first time in 69 games, dating back to Sept. 27, 2008, against Northern Illinois University. The contest marked the first loss of the season for the Green and White as well as the first with Head Coach Chris Creighton. Meanwhile, UF snapped a seven-game losing skid to improve to 1-0 after having its game a week earlier cancelled due to weather. Five turnovers hurt the Eagles as the offense picked up 125 yards. Brogan Roback went 5-for10 as Eastern used three different quarterbacks throughout the day. EMU starting quarterback Reginald Bell was the team’s leading rusher alongside Tyler Allen as both Eagles ran for 20 yards on the ground, with all of Bell’s coming in the opening half. Tyreese Russell caught two passes for 20 yards, while Dustin Creel added 16 yards receiving on two catches. On the defensive side of the ball, Great Ibe and Ray Tillman tallied a team-high 11 tackles. Tillman’s double-digit day set a career best, tying the amount of tackles he recorded throughout the entire 2013 season. Reigning Mid-American Conference West Special Teams Player of the Week Nathan Adams also chipped in on defense, making a tackle behind the line of scrimmage on a Florida fourth down play in the red zone. “Hats off to Florida. With the game being canceled last week and this being their opener, they came out with a bang and played great. Great environment,” added Creighton. “We’re definitely a disappointed group. One of the things that Eastern Michigan football has to learn is how to face, fight and defeat adversity, and it’s just football adversity. That’s going to be the key to making this program a winner. We got our fair share of it today. When you turn the ball over five times, it makes it tough, but we lost to a good football team today.” Florida’s Jeff Driskel went 31-for-45 for 248 yards, while backup quarterback Treon Harris completed a pair of passes for 148 yards. Demarcus Robinson led the receiving corps with six catches for 123 yards, including a 70-yards touchdown reception. The Gators chalked up 259 yards rushing as well for a total of 655 yards from scrimmage on the day. Florida put the game’s first points on the scoreboard as the Gators converted twice on fourth down. UF marched 63 yards down the field in 16 plays, taking 6:31 off the clock. On third and five from the EMU 16-yard line, Kevin Johnson made a spectacular breakup at the goal line to force the Gators to settle for three. A 33-yard attempt by Frankie Velez split the uprights to give Florida a 3-0 lead.

The Gators increased their lead to double digits after an EMU fumble gave Florida prime field position. On the next play, Kelvin Taylor found the end zone from 31 yards out, making it 10-0 with 6:00 remaining in the first quarter. After another touchdown in the opening quarter, Florida added 13 more points in the second quarter. Midway through the quarter, Coach Creighton made a switch at quarterback, sending in Roback in place of Bell. The sophomore moved the EMU offense across midfield before the UF defense stood tall and forced a punt. Going into the locker room, the Eagles found themselves trailing, 30-0. Bell led the EMU rushing attack in the first half with 20 yards on seven carries. Allen added a 16yard rush on a jet sweep that gave the Eagles a first down. Through the air, Roback was 3-of-6 for 20 yards, while Bell completed two of his six passes for 12 yards. Russell and Creel both caught a pair of passes, totaling 16 and 12 yards, respectively. On defense, Ibe, Johnson and Tillman recorded six tackles apiece. Turnover plagued Eastern in the first half as two fumbles gave Florida great field position. The Gators racked up 308 yards in the opening half, including 178 through the air by Driskel, who completed 23-of-33 passes. Driskel’s favorite receivers were Clay Burton, who caught six passes for 39 yards, and Quinton Dubar, who made a 42-yard catch as part of a five-reception 81-yard first half. On the ground, Matt Jones ran for 61 yards, while Taylor added 41 of his own. In the second half, Florida continued to put points on the scoreboard, including three touchdowns in the third quarter.

Game 3 - Old Dominion Game Day Statistics

Monarchs Rise Over Eagles in the Rain, 17-3

EMU football allows the fewest points in a game since the 2011 season NORFOLK, Va. (EMUGameDay.com) — On a rainy night at S.B. Ballard Stadium in Norfolk, Va., the Eastern Michigan University football team fell to the Old Dominion University Monarchs 17-3, Sept. 13. The loss drops the Eagles to 1-2 on the season, while ODU improves to 2-1. The EMU defense allowed just 10 points as ODU scored on special teams with a 46-yard punt return in the fourth quarter. The 10 points given up is the fewest allowed by an EMU defense since Oct. 22, 2011, when the Eagles defeated Western Michigan University, 14-10. The 17 points allowed overall on the night was the fewest surrendered by Eastern Michigan since a 30-17 victory over the University at Buffalo, Nov. 12, 2011. Great Ibe and Pat O’Connor led the Eagles on the defensive side of the ball. Ibe posted a team-high 12 tackles, while O’Connor recorded nine, including three for a loss. Two of the three tackles behind the line of scrimmage for O’Connor were sacks. The EMU defense went through a stretch where it held Old Dominion off the scoreboard for seven possessions, forcing five punts, a fumble and a turnover-on-downs at the goal line. Rob Bolden entered the contest at the end of the third quarter to lead the Eagles on its lone scoring drive. Junior Dylan Mulder booted a 43-yard field goal, tying the longest of his career. In just over one quarter of play, Bolden was 3-of-6 passing for 16, while rushing the ball 12 times for 31 yards. On offense, Eastern finished with 215 total yards, including 143 on the ground. Bronson Hill paced the Eagles’ rushing attack with 78 yards on 16 carries. Starting quarterback Brogan Roback led Eastern’s passing game by going 9-of-17 for 56 yards. ODU was led by Gerard Johnson on the ground, who carried the ball 19 times for 85 yards. Ray Lawry added four for 69 yards, including a 55-yard run for the only offensive touchdown of the game. ODU quarterback Taylor Heinicke completed 17-of-30 passing attempts for 187 yards. Antonio Vaughn led the Monarchs’ receiving corps with 54 yards on two catches, and the ODU speedster also took a punt back 46 yards for a touchdown. The Eagle defense took the field to begin the ballgame, and it did not take them long to get off the field. Facing third down, Heinicke took a shot deep down field, but the ball was underthrown and picked off by Kevin Johnson. The interception was Johnson’s first of his career as well as the Eagles’ first of the season. Roback led the EMU offense out on the field, making his first start of the season. Taking over after the turnover, the sophomore quarterback marched the Green and White 34 yards into ODU territory. However, the drive stalled at the 42yard line, and the punt rolled into the end zone. Following the touchback, the Monarchs went 80 yards in seven plays for the game’s first score. After a fourth down conversion on its own sign of the field, Old Dominion found paydirt with a 55-yard run by Ray Lawry. The drive lasted juat 3:24 and gave the home team a 7-0 lead with remaining in the first quarter. After the ODU touchdown, the first half consisted of a defensive struggle. The Eagles and Monarchs combined for six straight punts until ODU entered the Eastern red zone. However, as the Monarchs entered the coveted territory, Amos Houston forced ODU’s Antonio Vaughn to cough up the football. Linebacker Anthony Zappone recovered for the Eagles to cap off the second turnover of the game forced by the EMU defense. Despite the turnover, the Eagles fumbled on their next driving to give the ball back to the Monarchs. Starting in EMU territory, ODU entered the red zone for the second-straight drive, only to be denied by the Eastern defense. Heinicke kept the ball on third-and-goal, scrambling to the pylon as Jason Beck prevented the ODU quarterback from crossing the goal line. Choosing to go for the touchdown, the Eagles’ defense forced Heinicke to throw an incomplete pass on the run. Holding the Monarchs to three punts, a fumble and turnover-on-downs for the final five drives of the first half, Eastern Michigan headed to the locker room trailing by a single touchdown, 7-0.

Roback went 5-of-11 for 48 yards in the first half, completing all of his passes to a different receiver. His longest pass of 31 yards found the hands of David Gibson, who hauled in the first reception of his EMU career. On the ground, Hill led the rushing attack with 36 yards on nine carries. Kris Strange added a 17-yard rush for the first carry of his career, while Darius Jackson and Ryan Brumfield tallied four carries apiece. The seven points allowed in the first half were the fewest EMU has given up in an opening half since Sept. 22, 2012, when the Eagles held then-No. 21 Michigan State University to just three points at intermission. Old Dominion’s offense produced 261 yards in the first half with Heinicke going 11-of-18 for 120 yards through the air. Lawry had four carries for 69 yards, including the 55-yard touchdown run. Aside from a 45 reception by Jonathan Duhart, David Washington led the Monarchs with three catches for 22 yards. The third quarter was 15 minutes of field position. Following five punts between both teams, Old Dominion found itself with the ball at the EMU 37 yard-line after a holding call brought back a punt return for a touchdown. Six plays and 28 yards later, Ricky Segers converted a 26-yard field goal to increase the ODU lead to double digits, 10-0, with 11 second left in the third quarter. With the offense kept off the scoreboard, EMU Head Coach Chris Creighton elected to make a change at quarterback, inserting Bolden at the end of the third quarter. The move paid off as Bolden led the Eagles on a 15-play 49-yard drive that ended in Mulder’s 43-yard field goal. Bolden kept the ball throughout the drive, rushing eight times for 28 yards while also going 2-for-2 through the air for 12 yards. With 9:13 to go in the ballgame, the Eagles found themselves back within one possession. The EMU defense forced a three-and-out, but poor field position combined with the offense unable to get a first down, Austin Barnes was forced to punt from the back of the end zone. Fielding the ball at the EMU 46-yard line, Vaughn found a hole down the sideline and remained in bounds to find the open space for the touchdown. The 46-yard punt return increased the margin to 17-3 with 7:28 left on the clock. Down two touchdowns with not much time left, Bolden tried leading the Eagles to a comeback, but the ODU defense prevented that outcome. In an attempt to make a play, the senior quarterback fumbled to give the ball back to the Monarchs to put the game on ice.

Spartans Down Eagles in Battle of In-State Foes

EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY 14 MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY 73 Sept. 20, 2014 - Spartan Stadium (73,846)

EAST LANSING, Mich. (EMUGameDay. com) — The Eastern Michigan University football team suffered a 73-14 setback to No. 11 Michigan State University Saturday afternoon, Sept. 20, at Spartan Stadium. Coming off a bye week, the nationallyranked Spartans (2-1) opened up a 28-0 first quarter lead over the Eagles (1-3) to win the 10th meeting between the in-state foes. Starting in his first game as an Eagle, quarterback Rob Bolden threw his first touchdown pass in a Green and White uniform. The senior completed a strike down the middle of the field to Lansing, Mich. native Tyler Allen (Lansing, Mich.-Eastern) for the 43-yard touchdown reception. In front of the hometown crowd, Allen caught his first career touchdown pass and was on the receiving end of the longest play of the season for EMU at this point. Allen ended the day with two catches for 53 yards, both personal bests for the senior Eagle. Bolden finished the day with two touchdown passes as he found Tyreese Russell from nine yards out for the senior tight end’s first touchdown catch of the season and ninth of his career. Allen led the Eagle offense in the air with 53 receiving yards, while Russell tacked on four catches for 38 receiving yards for the Green and White. Bolden capped off his first career start for the Eagles, completing 10 passes on 29 attempts and tallying 115 yards for two touchdowns. On defense, Great Ibe, DaQuan Pace, and Anthony Zappone had 10 tackles apiece, while Kevin Johnson added nine to the Green and White’s defensive effort. At the half, Pace tied his career-high of seven tackles in a single game and added three more in the final half of play. Ibe also matched his fellow defender, while Zappone registered five tackles in the first 30 minutes of the contest. The extra five in the second half set a career high for Zappone. Michigan State was led by Delton Williams, who carried the ball 10 times for 103 yards and three touchdowns, while Nick Hill added 58 yards on 14 carries. MSU quarterback Damion Terry completed five passes on eight attempts, while starting quarterback Connor Cook completed 5-of-6 pass attempts with two touchdown passes. The Eagles got on the board in the third quarter as Bolden led the offense on a sev-

en-play, 65-yard drive that took up just 2:29 on the clock. After keeping the drive alive with a quarterback sneak on fourth-andone, Bolden found Allen deep down the middle of the field for a 43-yard touchdown pass. It was the first career touchdown catch for Allen, while Bolden tossed his first touchdown pass as an Eagle. Sophomore punter Austin Barnes blasted a 65-yard punt later in the third quarter to down MSU at its own goal line. The career-long punt by Barnes was the first punt over 60 yards by an Eagle since Jay Karutz booted a 62-yarder on Sept. 22, 2012, also against Michigan State. To end the third quarter, Pace continued the best game of his career with his first interception donning the Green and White. Starting the fourth quarter with great field position, Bolden noticed Russell wide open on a crossing pattern in the center of the field. The senior tight end completed the play by securing the catch and rolling into the end zone for an EMU touchdown, giving the Eagles a pair of scores in a threeminute span. The Spartans added back-to-back touchdowns in the fourth quarter to complete the 73-14 decision over the Green and White.

Eagles Fall to Zips, 31-6, in Mid-American Conference Opener

Rob Bolden and Tyler Allen combined for a touchdown in the second-straight game AKRON, Ohio (EMUGameDay.com) — The Eastern Michigan University football team suffered a 31-6 loss to the University of Akron Saturday afternoon, Oct. 4. The Eagles (1-4, 0-1 MAC) scored the game’s first touchdown, but the Zips (3-2, 1-0 MAC) rattled off 31 unanswered points in the first Mid-American Conference game of the season for both teams. In his second start as an Eagle, senior quarterback Rob Bolden orchestrated a 78-yard touchdown drive on EMU’s first drive of the game. The Orchard Lake, Mich. native found Tyler Allen (Lansing, Mich.-Eastern) in the corner of the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown pass that gave Eastern the early 6-0 lead. For the game, Bolden finished with 185 yards through the air on 17-of-29 passing. Allen led the EMU receiving corps with a personal-best five catches for 52 yards that included the 18-yard touchdown reception. Out of the backfield, Darius Jackson caught a pair of passes for 39 yards, including a 32-yarder, for a new career high. Kris Strange chipped in with a 25-yard catch, the longest of his career. The career days continued for the Eastern receivers as Kray’shawn Brewer made the first three receptions of his career for 10 yards. On the ground Bronson Hill and Ryan Brumfield paced the EMU rushing attack with 34 and 25 yards, respectively. Defensively, freshman safety Jason Beck tallied a team-best and career-high 10 tackles. Akron quarterback Kyle Pohl went 27-of-40 for 326 yards and two touchdowns through the air. L.T. Smith was Pohl’s favorite receiver as the duo accounted for 10 hookups for 117 yards and a touchdown. Conor Hundley carried the ball eight times for a team-high 61 yards, while backup quarterback Tommy Woodson added 60 yards rushing on six attempts. After holding the Zips on their opening drive, Eastern turned around and marched down the field for the game’s first score. Making his second consecutive start, Bolden led the Eagles on an 11play 78-yard drive in 3:51, capped off by an 18yard completion from Bolden to Allen. Hill rushed for 22 yards on the drive, while Bolden also carried the ball twice for 17 yards. The effective running game set up the touchdown pass as Allen hauled in his second scoring reception in as many games. Following the touchdown, a botched snap led to a failed PAT to keep the score 6-0 in favor of the Green and White. Following an exchange of punts by both teams, including a career-long 63-yard boot by Eastern’s Owen Dubiel that pinned Akron at its own nine-yard line, the Zips took their first lead of the game. UA went 91 yards in 10 plays as Pohl found the pylon on a keeper from five yards out. A converted extra point gave the home team a 7-6 lead at the end of the first quarter.

50-yard punt return by Jaleel Canty. However, a 40-yard field goal attempt fell short into the teeth of the gusty wind as Akron kept its one-point advantage. Using the wind on the other side of the field, Robert Stein hit a 32-yard field goal just before the end of the half. After a Bolden interception put Akron in the red zone, the EMU defense stood tall to force the field goal and go into the locker room trailing by just a 10-6 margin. Bolden was 4-for-7 for 59 yards in the opening half with his longest pass 25 yards to Strange. For the Eagles’ defense, Pat O’Connor and Anthony Zappone each recorded a sack and continued putting pressure on the Zips’ quarterback throughout the first 30 minutes of play. UA held a slight advantage in yards at the half, 180-122. Pohl led the Zips’ offense by throwing for 147 yards on 13-of-22 passing. L.T. Smith caught four passes for 52 yards, while Zach D’Orazio added 47 yards on three catches.

The Zips drove 70 yards down the field on seven plays in just under two minutes. Hundley rumbled up the middle for a 28-yard touchdown to increase the difference to double digits. UA added another score, taking a 24-6 lead at the end of the third quarter. The Zips found the endzone once in the fourth quarter to complete the game’s final margin.

Bell’s Career Day Propels EMU Football to 37-27 Homecoming Victory Redshirt-freshman accounts for 344 total yards and four touchdowns in the MAC win YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUGameDay.com) — Behind 34 second-half points, Eastern Michigan University’s football team was able to keep its record at The Factory untarnished with a 37-27 Homecoming victory over MidAmerican Conference foe the University at Buffalo, Oct. 11. With the win, the Eagles improve to 2-4 (1-1 MAC), while the Bulls fell to 3-4 (1-2 MAC). The Eagles were led by a career day out of redshirt-freshman quarterback Reginald Bell Jr..Bell threw 8-for-13 for 144 yards and one touchdown, but the Golden State native truly shone in his rushing. He led all players with 202 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground, including a pair of 70+ yarders. With touchdown runs of 71 and 72 yards, Bell became the first Eagle in EMU history to run for two 70+ yard touchdowns in one game. The last time an Eagle registered more than 200 yards rushing was Oct. 19, 2013, when Bronson Hill ran 257 yards against Ohio. The redshirt freshman is also the first Eastern quarterback to rush for over 200 yards; the previous high for a quarterback was Alex Gillett, who ran for 189 yards in a win over Ball State, Oct. 16, 2010. Bell acted as the catalyst for the Green and White, as the offense went from 73 yards of total offense to 484 yards after he went into the game with 4:15 left in the second quarter. The feat marks the first time since Nov. 9, 2013, that EMU has turned in more than 400 yards of total offense, the last time being against Western Michigan University in a Rynearson Stadium MAC matchup. Additionally, Bell ran 10 times for 104 yards in the third quarter alone, when EMU outgained Buffalo 204 yards to 42. David Gibson caught two passes for 47 yards, including a 23-yard catch for his first career touchdown reception, to lead the EMU receiving corps. Behind Bell, Ryan Brumfield had 62 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The team effort resulted in the best second half performance of the season, scoring 34 points. Other members of the Green and White saw career numbers in the EMU victory. Defensively, Anthony Zappone led all players with 13 tackles and also posted a career-best three tackles for loss. Pat O’Connor was a nuisance to Buffalo quarterback Joe Licata, recording 2.5 sacks and six hurries. The team also had two interceptions thanks to Jason Beck and Kevin Johnson. Special teams also did its part with a blocked field goal by Mike Steals and a 62-yard punt by Owen Dubiel that was down at the two-yard line. Buffalo was paced by Licata, who was 27-of-44 for 383 yards and three touchdowns. Anthone Taylor led the offense on the ground, as the MACleading rusher went 128 yards on 24 carries. Defensively, just one Bull had a double-digit tackle performance in Lee Skinner, with 10 stops. The Bulls seemed to have found success on their opening drive, thanks in large part to two 14-yard rushes by Licata. With Buffalo in EMU territory, Licata created a 32-yard path for Taylor to rush into the red zone. However, the Eagle defense stepped up and forced a pair of incomplete passes intended to put Buffalo on the board, which in turn led to a field goal attempt for the Bulls from 27 yards out. However, Patrick Clarke pegged the right goal post and turned the ball over to the Eagles as the score stood at an unblemished 0-0. Offensive efforts turned stagnant for the Eagles, giving up a punt quickly after regaining possession. The Bulls capitalized on their next effort as Licata found Ron Willoughby 49 yards down-field and later found Marcus McGill open for a 24-yard launch that would result in Buffalo’s first points of the afternoon. Clarke did not have any problems finding the middle ground between posts on his kick attempt, giving the Eagles a 7-0 deficit with 2:45 to play in the first quarter. An opportunity to move into Buffalo territory still did not present itself when the Eagles next took possession, but a bright spot did emerge from Dubiel, whose punt danced onto the Buffalo two-yard line. Taylor quickly proved why he ranks among the top rushers in the nation on a 41-yard dash. The Bulls continued to shuffle toward the end zone until they found themselves less than yard from the goal line. A tremendous effort from EMU’s line kept Buffalo from reaching the end zone, taking down Taylor’s rushing attempts twice before O’Connor sacked Licata for a loss. Buffalo decided to go for the field goal attempt on fourth down, extending the lead as Eastern trailed 10-0 with 9:24 remaining in the first half. Bell entered the game with four minutes remaining in the second quarter to give the Green and White a fresh look, and he quickly provided the spark that the Eagles needed. Bell used his lean athleticism to spin around defenders on a rush followed by a hand-off to Darius Jackson for a 33-yard carry. Bell continued to push through the Buffalo line with two four-yard rushes before he nailed a 20-yard pass to Cole Gardner to put the Eagles in the red zone for the first time in the contest, just one yard from goal. Bell tried to find Jackson and Allen inside the end zone in alternating plays, but both attempts did not reach fruition. Nonetheless, the Green and White was able to chip away at its deficit with a 21-yard field goal by Dylan Mulder, to make it 10-3 with one minute to play in the half. The clock ticked away to close out the opening portion of the contest, with the Eagles retreating to the locker room down by just a touchdown. The Eagles came out from their intermission with a renewed determination to wrangle the Bulls on their home turf. The team lit up the scoreboard almost immediately when Bell charged out for a 71-yard rush for a touchdown. Bell lost the defenders attempting to take him down around the UB 30-yard line and built his distance even further en route to the end zone. The touchdown dash was the first of Bell’s career, and the 71-yard distance bested his previous rushing record by 60 yards. The extra point attempt to equalize the score was blocked, giving the Eagles just a 9-10 disadvantage 39 seconds into the second half. Eastern’s defense was able to pressure Buffalo into taking another field goal attempt, pushing the Bulls back from the 10-yard line to the 23-yard line. Clarke’s pushed the score to 9-13 with 11:22 in the third quarter. Bell continued to fuel EMU’s offensive groove, handing off to Brumfield for 24 combined yards on the ground and rushing eight yards of his own. The redshirt-freshman lobbed a 24-yard pass to Gibson on the Buffalo two-yard line, but the Eagles were unable to cross the goal line in four attempts and the score remained at a standstill for the drive.

Bell aired it out to Tyreese Russell for 20 yards to cross into Buffalo territory. Another 20-yard pass found Dustin Creel (Industry, Pa.-Western Beaver), followed by a rush by Bell to give the Eagles a first-and-goal. The team did not reprise the misfortune of its previous drive, as Brumfield powered through for the one-yard rush to flip the lead and give the Eagles the first advantage of the game at 16-13 with three minutes left in the quarter. Using the motivation from the last drive, the defense came out with hard-hitting intensity. In the first two plays, the Eagles combined for a loss of nine yards, highlighted by a sack by Mike Brown to push the Bulls to third-and-19. A huge tackle from Zappone and Johnson on Devon Hughes forced another punt, but an untimely fumble from Bell at the EMU 10-yard line was recovered by Buffalo’s Lee Skinner. The rock did not stay with the Bulls for long, who were pushed back thanks to a tackle by Zappone before Johnson made a sprawling dive to pick off a pass and return possession to the Eagles before the start of the fourth quarter. A handful of aggressively risky tosses did not come to fruition for the Green and White, which gave up its fifth punt shortly after the open of the final quarter. The Eagles were able to control the Bulls’ offense once more, who lined up to attempt a 39-yard field goal after being unable to move down the field. Causing an uproarious reaction from the sideline and stands, Steals blocked the field goal attempt, which was recovered by Willie Creear at the 50-yard line with 13:12 to play. Bell threw down the middle of the field to Kenny Jones, who made a flying catch to pull in a 29-yard pass and put the line of scrimmage on the UB 10-yard line. Bell’s career game kept going when he rushed in the final 10 yards for his second touchdown of the game. The extra point from Mulder increased the EMU lead to 23-13 with 11:38 remaining. Luck continued to favor the Eagles when Buffalo’s Devin Campbell fumbled the kickoff return at the Bulls’ 24-yard line and was recovered by Hunter Matt. The Eagles pounced on their opportunity to score, with Bell dropping in a 23-yard pass to Gibson in the far right corner of the end zone. The touchdown pass marked a career first for both players: Bell collected his first touchdown pass while Gibson recorded his first receiving touchdown while donning the Green and White. The team extended its lead to 30-13 after a remarkably short 14-second scoring drive. The Bulls found their way within two yards of the end zone, but ran into a barricade of Eastern defense that continued to push Buffalo back. Gary White, Jr picked up a tackle for a loss of six yards and a quarterback hurry from O’Connor on a fourth down attempt led to an incomplete pass that would give the ball back to the Eagles with 7:26 to play. The Eagles could not convert on their next drive, but still held on to a comfortable lead as Buffalo would take the ball for its next drive. The Bulls caught a break when Licata found Matt Weiser down-field for a 50-yard catch for a touchdown, but Eastern retained the lead at 30-20 with 4:52 in the game. An onside kick was recovered by the Bulls on their own 49-yard line, but the Eagles succeeded in preventing their opposition from advancing far down the field. As Licata threw a high-flying lob to the right sideline, Beck maneuvered his way in front of the receiver and nabbed his first career interception. With the ball back in the Eagles’ hands, Bell bolted past the Buffalo line once more, this time for a 72-yard touchdown. UB was able to move down the field for another touchdown thanks to a pass from Campbell, but the clock ran down as the Eagles came away with the 37-27 victory.

Eagles Stopped by Minutemen, 36-14, in New England

EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS Oct. 18, 2014 - Gillette Stadium (12,030)

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (EMUGameDay.com) — The Eastern Michigan University football team suffered a 36-14 defeat to the University of Massachusetts Saturday afternoon, Oct. 18, at Gillette Stadium. With the road setback, the Eagles drop to 2-5 on the season, including 1-2 in Mid-American Conference play. Meanwhile, UMass wins for the second-straight game to improve to 2-6, 2-2 MAC. Redshirt-freshman quarterback Reginald Bell completed 10-of-21 for 147 yards and two touchdowns, while adding another 40 yards on the ground. Bell tossed touchdown passes of 32 and 34 yards to Tyreese Russell and Bronson Hill, respectively. Kris Strange was Bell’s favorite target as the duo recorded four pass-and-catch combinations for 38 yards, all personal bests for Strange. Darius Jackson paced the Eastern rushing attack with three carries for 64 yards, including a career-long 47-yard run, as the Eagles totaled 280 yards of offense. On the defensive side of the ball, Willie Creear recovered a fumble and intercepted the second pass of his career while also reaching double digits in tackles with 12, a personal best. Great Ibe led all Eagles by making a career-high 21 tackles, the most of any Eagle this season, to remain one of the top tacklers in the MAC. The EMU defense forced three turnovers on the afternoon, equaling its season high from the win last week over the University at Buffalo. The Minutemen were led by Blake Frohnapfel, who went 28-of-51 for 337 yards. The UMass quarterback hooked up with receiver Tajae Sharpe 13 times for 193 yards on the afternoon. Shadrach Abrokwah ran for 135 rushing yards and four touchdowns, while Lorenzo Woodley added 63 yards on the ground. UMass was efficient on offense throughout the game, finishing with 562 total yards on 94 plays. UMass struck first by scoring on its opening drive, marching down the field 83 yards on 11 plays, converting a crucial fourth down that kept the drive alive. Abrokwah found the pylon from 17 yards out to give the Minutemen the early 7-0 lead. However, the Eagles answered with a touchdown on their own opening drive, going 75 yards in just 3:28. Bell completed all three of his passes on the series, including a perfect 32yard pass down the seam to Russell. With 7:20 remaining in the first quarter, the contest was tied at 7-7 following the first two drives. After the EMU defense forced a turnover on downs by UMass, the Minutemen got the ball back on a Bell interception. Abrokwah rumbled 16 yards into the endzone, and the extra point drilled the upright to keep the deficit at six, 13-7. Another Massachusetts running back, Woodley, would add another touchdown run early in the second quarter to give his team the 20-7 advantage with 10:31 left in the opening half. Following the UMass touchdown, the Green

and White once again answered the call by countering with a touchdown. Jackson brought the Eagles into Minutemen’s territory with a career-long 47-yard burst up the middle of the field. Three plays later, Bell found Hill for a 34-yard touchdown pass to cut the deficit back to six, 2014. The reception was the first touchdown of the year for the senior running back.

Eagles Fall Short to Northern Illinois at the Factory

Despite having two 100-yard rushers, Eastern was on the short end of a 28-17 decision YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s football team dropped a close battle against Mid-American Conference foe Northern Illinois University Saturday, Oct. 25, at The Factory inside Rynearson Stadium. The Eagles fell 28-17 to the Huskies, but were within seven points until the fourth quarter when back-to-back touchdowns propelled NIU to its victory. With the loss, the Eagles fall to 2-6 (1-3 MAC), while the Huskies advance to 6-2 (3-1 MAC). The Eagles were led by another career performance by Reginald Bell Jr.. The redshirt-freshman surpassed his previous personal best in pass completions, going 16-for-34 for a total of 124 yards. Bell had another superb effort rushing the ball, going 133 yards and one touchdown on 25 attempts. He was joined by Ryan Brumfield in the century club, who rushed for 112 yards on 18 carries while picking up a touchdown of his own. The pair of 100-plus-yard rushers marks the 12th time in EMU history that two Eagles have surpassed the century mark, the last time being Nov. 9, 2013 in the victory over Western Michigan University. Defensively, the Green and White was paced by Kevin Johnson and Great Ibe Johnson racked up 13 tackles to lead the Eagles, while Ibe added 11 stops. Northern Illinois was led by Drew Hare, who went 8-for-14 and also led the Huskies in rushing with 168 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. Cameron Stingily scored two touchdowns for NIU off 64 yards of rushing, while Joel Bouagnon found the endzone once and ran for 85 yards. Rasheen Lemon was the only Huskie with 10 tackles, but the NIU defense combined for four sacks and eight tackles for loss. After the Green and White was unable to convert on its first drive, Owen Dubiel pinned the Huskies at their own 16-yard line with a 52yard punt. Despite starting inside the NIU red zone, Hare maneuvered his way through the defensive line and sprinted off to paydirt for a 78-yard rush as the Eagles quickly found themselves at a seven-point disadvantage less than four minutes into the contest, Though not as swift as the Huskies in their opening strike, the Eagles moved the chains at a steady pace backed by Bell fanning out his options between Tyreese Russell, Tyler Allen, and Brumfield On a third-down conversion, Brumfield put on a spectacle for the home crowd with a 32-yard scamper along the left sideline. Though the senior was dragged down on the four-yard line, he finished what he started with a spinning rush into the endzone, after which Dylan Mulder sailed the extra point through the posts to equalize the score, 7-7, with 7:20 to play in the first quarter. Neither team was able to score in the next few possessions until NIU posted another touchdown from Stingily, taking the ball three yards in to the endzone while losing a shoe in the process. With 11 seconds remaining in the quarter, the Eagles once again found themselves down by seven points at 7-14. The Eagles could not muster any luck to start out the second quarter, as Bell was victim to a pair of sacks that would force a punt to Northern Illinois. The Green and White defense reciprocated pressure on the quarterback when Mike Steals and Arron Pipkins teamed up on replacement quarterback Anthony Maddie on a rush attempt. Unfortunately, a pair of penalties between two plays gave the Huskies a 30-yard advancement down the field. The team kept its intensity up on defense and pressured NIU into attempting a field goal. Not wanting to give up the 23-yarder, Steals blocked Tyler Wedel’s field goal attempt to keep the one-score deficit and start the EMU offense up on the 20-yard line at 7:51. A ground attack was the course of action for the Eagles on the ensuing drive, with Bell and Brumfield racking up 33 yards in the opening plays. Bell turned to his left to find Darius Jackson (Sparta, Ill.Sparta) for an additional first down off an 11-yard lob, but the offense came to a halt with 37 yards to goal and NIU regained control with three minutes remaining in the half. With Hare back in the game, the NIU quarterback attempted to take the ball downfield on consecutive attempts, but was stopped on each try by Anthony Zappone and Ibe. Wedel surrendered the punt to the Eagles, who were able to move the chains immediately off a 10-yard pass to Allen. Bell found an opening and took off down the middle of the field for a 43-yard rush into the red zone, and the redshirt-freshman stayed aggressive with a pair of rushes to take the Green and White to the four-yard line with 13 seconds on the clock. The Eagles took a timeout to strategize with Head Coach Chris Creighton, but could not make their way into the endzone. With just seconds remaining, Mulder went in to land a 21-yard field goal, bringing the scoring gap to just four points as the Eagles trailed 10-14 heading into the locker room. The EMU defense clocked in early at the start of the second half, shutting down the Huskies at the EMU 45-yard line. NIU attempted to take the ball just one yard off a fourth-down, but were stopped and gave the Eagles a short field to play. In a turn of events, Bell was picked off by Dechan Durante on a pass that traveled just out of reach of his intended target on the NIU 10-yard line. Possession did not stay with the Huskies for long thanks a nearly impenetrable wall of defense with Ibe picking up a pair of stops as the Eagles allowed just two yards of offense in a minute and a half of play. Brumfield returned to the field in the ensuing possession to guide the Green and White into Huskie territory, but back-to-back penalties drove the line of scrimmage back 15 yards. The Eagles handed over the ball to the Huskies, who quickly moved into the red zone before being stopped and deciding to attempt a field goal from the 32-yard line. EMU kept Wedel 0-for-2 on field goal attempts with yet another

blocked attempt, this time coming from Willie Creear. With the score stagnant throughout the third quarter at 10-14 with 5:34 to play, the Eagles took possession once more. Trouble seemed to be brewing for the Green and White as it was quickly put in a third-and-seven situation, but Russell was able to pull in a 19-yard pass off a deflection to give the Eagles an indisputable first down. Bell broke free of the Huskie defense once more, this time for a gain of 26 yards along the sideline instead of his usual dash down the center of the field. Brumfield used an eight-yard carry to get the squad within a yard of the red zone, and Bell looked to find Kris Strange in scoring territory to end the drive. Though Strange did not muster a reception, Logan Paris was charged with an interference penalty that put the Eagles on the three-yard line. The clock expired for the third quarter as the Eagles held on to the ball at third-and-three going into the final quarter of competition. The Eagles needed just four seconds to light up the scoreboard once more, as Bell rolled to the right and muscled his way through the NIU line with an arm outstretched to cross the plane of the goal line. With a rushing touchdown by the redshirt-freshman and a Mulder extra point, the Green and White flipped the lead and took a 17-14 lead over the Huskies. The advantage marked the first time that the Eagles have held a lead over NIU since Sept. 15, 2007, when the Eagles slipped away with a 21-19 win in DeKalb, Ill. Northern Illinois stepped up its pace, going 65 yards in just under three minutes to score and flip the lead back in their favor off a 24-yard rush by Joel Bouagnon. With 11:55 remaining in the contest, Eastern trailed 17-21. Brumfield passed the century mark for the second time in his career with a nine-yard carry to give the Eagles a first down coming off the kickoff. The Green and White moved the chains a few more times, with a clutch catch by Cole Gardner on a third-down conversion to put the Eagles on the 37-yard line. With another third down and 10 yards to go, Bell tried to find Russell on his right, who juggled the ball in the air but ultimately was unable to pull it in for a first down. The team tried once more to move down the field for a first down, but could not convert and handed the ball over to NIU with 6:46 remaining. The Huskies took off on another powerful drive, with Hare putting up a 32-yard rush to the one-yard line before Stingily traversed the short distance into the end zone. NIU gained its largest lead of the game, as Eastern trailed 17-28 with 3:26 to play. In the face of a 10-point deficit, the Green and White remained relentless in its play. Bell found Russell on two passes for a combined 20 yards before posting a pair of rushes totaling 29 yards. A penalty moved the Eagles up an additional 12 yards to the NIU 13, and Bell tried to find David Gibson twice for a touchdown, with both efforts ending fruitlessly. Bell tried to scramble to find an open teammate but was pushed back to the NIU 31 before being taken down. Facing heavy winds, Mulder’s 48-yard field goal attempt fell short and the clock expired with the Eagles falling to NIU, 17-28.

Allen Sets Career Kickoff Return Yardage Record in EMU’s Setback to CMU

The Lansing, Mich. native passed Trumaine Riley on the EMU all-time list as the Eagles fell, 38-7 YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s football team suffered its second consecutive home loss in a 38-7 setback to Mid-American Conference rival Central Michigan University, Nov. 1. With the loss, the Eagles fall to 2-7 (1-4 MAC) while the Chippewas advance to 6-4 (4-2 MAC). The Eagles saw a member of the squad earn a spot atop EMU laurels when Tyler Allen broke the career kickoff return yardage record, overtaking Trumaine Riley’s career mark of 2,541 yards. After starting quarterback Reginald Bell, Jr. suffered a game-ending injury in the opening minutes of the contest, senior Rob Bolden stepped in to lead the Green and White offense. Bolden was 7-for-19 on the afternoon for a total of 76 passing yards, including one touchdown to running back Darius Jackson. Tyreese Russell became Bolden’s favorite receiver with 59 yards on three catches. The EMU defense was led by Kevin Johnson, who tallied 14 tackles and a personal-best two tackles for loss, and Jason Beck with a careerbest 12 stops. Team co-captain Pudge Cotton added eight tackles while also coming up with a fumble recovery and the second interception of his career. Cooper Rush led the CMU offense, going 18of-23 for 223 yards, finding Deon Butler five times for 95 yards. The Chippewas were also effective rushing, with Devon Spalding and Saylor Lavallii each going over 100 yards for a combined 259 yards. CMU did not take long to make their way into the Eastern end zone after Lavallii recorded his longest rush of the season with a 41-yarder to EMU pay dirt. Lavalli added another touchdown on Central’s next possession as the Chippewas took a 14-0 with 5:23 left in the quarter. Central started off the second quarter with another scoring, but a bright spot in EMU history shone through on the kickoff return when Allen’s seven-yard scamper was enough to bolster his career yardage to 2,542 to claim the top spot in Eastern laurels. The Eagles made some adjustments to slow the CMU offense, and the game seemed to change when Cotton picked off Rush at the CMU 34-yard line. However, the Eagles did not have the ball for long after a fumble on the ensuing play. Central added 10 points to close out the half, making the score 31-0 going into the locker room. The Green and White was able to put a stop to CMU’s scoring effort at the start of the second half, holding the Chippewas scoreless throughout the third quarter. Though the Eagles also could not get on the board, Dylan Mulder surprised everyone when he went

in to attempt a 45-yard field goal but instead executed a low punt that pinned the Chippewas inside their own one-yard line. Strong defense turned the ball over to the Eagles inside Central Michigan territory, and the Green and White moved into the red zone for the first time in the contest. Unfortunately, Bolden was sacked on the 17-yard line to end the potential scoring effort. The Eagles saw their opponent’s lead grow less than 30 seconds into the fourth quarter, as Devon Spaulding rushed twice for 16 yards, capped off by six yard-run for the touchdown. Central soon found itself in the red zone once more, but the Green and White kept its tenacity on the defensive end, which turned in favor of the Eagles when Great Ibe forced a fumble from Anthony Garland that was recovered by Cotton and returned for 15 yards. Though the Eagles were not able to convert the ensuing drive, Amos Houston (Detroit, Mich.-Loyola) blocked a CMU punt to set up the EMU offense at the Chippewas’ six-yard line with 4:22 remaining in the contest. After a pair of rush attempts, Bolden found Jackson open for a four-yard toss in the end zone, denying Central Michigan the shutout.

Broncos Topple EMU Football in Road Rivalry Contest

Reggie Bell passes for a career-high 283 yards in the Eagles’ 51-7 setback YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Returning to the gridiron for the first time in two weeks, the Eastern Michigan University football team suffered a 51-7 setback at the hands of the Western Michigan University Broncos Saturday afternoon, Nov. 15, at Waldo Stadium. The Mid-American Conference loss drops the Eagles to 2-8 (1-5 MAC), while the Broncos posted their fifth consecutive victory to run their record to 7-3 (5-1 MAC). Bouncing back from an injury suffered two weeks ago, EMU quarterback Reginald Bell went 14-of-21 through the air for a careerhigh 283 yards passing. The redshirt-freshman found eight different Eagles throughout the afternoon, but his favorite receiver was Tyreese Russell as the senior tight end made four catches for a career-high 98 yards. Bell found running back Bronson Hill (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Catholic Central) out of the backfield for a 76-yard touchdown pass for the longest pass of the season and Hill’s longest reception of his career. Kray’shawn Brewer and Cole Gardner each had 33 yards receiving to post career bests as well. On the ground, Bell led the way with 33 yards, while Hill added 29 of his own. On the defensive side of the football, linebacker Anthony Zappone recorded a team-high 10 tackles, including eight solo wrap-ups. Jalen Williams also registered four solo tackles, a personal best for the redshirtjunior. The Broncos were led by quarterback Zach Terrell, who completed 17-of-19 passes for 357 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing a score to go along with 41 yards on the ground. Dareyon Chance carried the ball 14 times for a team-high 53 yards. For the WMU receiving corps, Daniel Braverman hauled in seven catches for 50 yards with two resulting in touchdowns, and Corey Davis added 134 receiving yards on four receptions. Western started the scoring on the game’s first play, returning the opening kickoff 93 yards for the early 7-0 lead. With the EMU putting its offense on the field first after the Western kickoff return, Bell led the Eagles 34 yards down the field into opposing territory. The big play of the drive was a 21-yard pass on play-action to Russell. However, the Green and White was stopped short by a yard on third down, and punter Owen Dubiel did his job by pinning the Broncos at their own four yard line. Despite the deep territory, WMU marched down the field in six plays to increase its lead to a pair of touchdowns. Following two more scores, the Eagles found themselves trailing 27-0 at the conclusion of the first quarter. The offense continued to struggle getting any production, and Western added three more

scores to take a 48-0 advantage into the locker room break behind 340 passing yards from Terrell. The WMU quarterback completed 13of-14 passes, including four touchdowns, while also rushing for another score. For the Eagles, Bell completed a 21-yard pass to Russell as well as a 17-hard hookup to Gardner and added 14 yards rushing. Hill also carried the rock three times for 17 yards. After holding WMU to a field goal on its opening drive of the second half, the Eagles found the end zone to get on the scoreboard. Facing a second and long from the EMU 24yard line, Bell flipped a screen pass to Hill, who shook a pair of defenders before scampering 76 yards down the sideline for the touchdown. The big play was the longest play of the year for the Green and White, and it also marked the third touchdown of the year over 70 yards. Eastern’s defense continued to play its best football in the third quarter, allowing just the lone field goal for the first points surrendered in the third quarter over the past three contests. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles’ defense improved once again to keep the Broncos off the scoreboard in the final 15 minutes of play. Bell led the Eagles 83 yards down the field, including a pair of throws to Russell for a combined 52 yards. However, as the redshirtfreshman quarterback reached for the goal line on a scramble, the ball popped loose and into the hands of a WMU defender. The final margin remained at 51-7 following the Green and White’s 7-3 advantage on the scoreboard in the second half.

High-Powered Passing Game Not Enough in 45-30 Setback to Ball State

Reggie Bell records 510 total yards of offense, the second-most in EMU football history MUNCIE, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) – In its final road game of the 2014 season, the Eastern Michigan University football team suffered a 45-30 defeat to the hands of the Ball State University Cardinals Saturday afternoon, Nov. 22, at Scheumann Stadium. EMU scored 27 second-half points but could not overcome three turnovers and a 28-3 halftime deficit. The setback dropped the Eagles to 2-9 (1-6 MAC) on the season, while BSU improved to 4-7 (3-4 MAC) going into the final week of the 2014 campaign. EMU out-gained Ball State in total yardage, 503-440, but three turnovers led to three touchdowns by the Cardinals. Also, the Green and White defense could not force a turnover by the Cardinals, leading to a minus three turnover margin for the contest. All three EMU touchdowns came via the air raid, while Dylan Mulder tied his personal mark for the most field goals in one game with three, connecting on makes from 25, 29 and 26 yards. Despite the loss, redshirt freshman quarterback Reginald Bell did his part, piling up 510 yards of total offense for the second-most yardage by one individual Eagle in program history. The record of 554 total yards by Andy Schmitt, Nov. 28, 2008, still stands but it was a career day for Bell. He threw for 409 yards on 36-of-49 passing, all personal bests, while rushing for an additional 101 yards on 18 carries. The EMU receiving corps also had career-high days in conjunction with the passing game of Bell. Dustin Creel and Tyreese Russell became the first Eagles to catch at least 10 passes in a game since Tyler Jones hauled in 23 receptions versus Central Michigan, Nov. 28, 2008. Creel finished with career bests in catches (14) and receiving yards (152), while Russell broke his personal high with 113 receiving yards. The duo became the first teammates to tally over 100 yards receiving in a game since Jones and Jacory Stone accomplished the feat against Temple, Nov. 22, 2008. Along with Creel and Russell, six other Eagles caught passes from Bell including Darius Jackson and Kris Strange, who joined Russell in grabbing touchdown receptions. Strange tied his career-high in catches with four, while snapping his personal best in receiving yards with 41. Out of the backfield, Jackson’s 33 yards of receptions was also a new best for the running back. EMU finished the game 6-for-6 in the redzone with a three touchdowns and three field goals. The Cardinals were led by starting quarterback Jack Milas, who threw for 169 yards (11-of-17) and two touchdowns in the first half before exiting the game with an injury. Senior running back Jahwan Edwards carried the ball 19 times for 131 yards and a touchdown to pace the BSU rushing attack. Jordan Williams caught a team-high four passes for 68 yards, while Darian Green added 56 yards receiving. Along with forcing three EMU turnovers, the Ball State defense recorded a pair of sacks and limited the Eagles’ ground game to just 2.6 yards per rush. Ball State started the game with the ball and converted two key third downs to keep its drive moving down the field. On the 10th play of the drive, Miles kept the ball on a read option to score from three yards out, giving the Cardinals the early 7-0 lead with 11:20 remaining in the first quarter. After the EMU offense went three-and-out, the Eagles’ defense forced the same by Ball State, giving the ball back to the Green and White. Starting from its own 14-yard line, Eastern was led down the field by Bell. The redshirt freshman quarterback scampered 22 yards to get into BSU territory, following that big play with an 18-yard pass to Russell. With another first down, the EMU gunslinger kept the momentum going by finding Creel through the air for another 15 yards. The Eagles entered the red zone, but the Cardinals stopped EMU short of the chains on three plays to set up fourth-and-inches. Head Coach Chris Creighton kept the offense on the field, but the false start penalty pushed EMU back, forcing the first year head coach to send out the field goal unit. Mulder split the uprights on from 29 yards out, cutting the deficit to four, 7-3. On the scoring drive, Bell was a perfect 4-of-4 for 51 yards as well as a pair of rushes for 25 yards on the ground to set up the field goal. The Cardinals answered the EMU field goal with another 75yard touchdown drive. Miles found Corey Lacanaria on a 13yard fade route to the back corner of the endzone. At the end of the first quarter, the Green and White trailed by a 14-3 margin. BSU added two more touchdowns in the second quarter on

a 99-yard drive as well as a score with just 13 seconds left in the opening half. Going into the locker room, The Eagles found themselves down 28-3. In the first 30 minutes, Bell was efficient through the air, throwing for 128 yards on 15-of-21 passing. His favorite wide receiver was Creel, who caught nine passes for 66 yards, while Russell also made three receptions for 33 yards. Creel’s catches in the first half matched what the junior wide receiver had all season coming into the game. On the ground, Bell’s six rushes for 41 yards were also the best on the team as the Green and White accounted for 183 yards of total offense in the first half. Miles also showed his effectiveness in the first half for Ball State, accounting for three touchdowns (two pass, one rush). The BSU quarterback went 11-of-17 for 169 yards, while rushing twice for 57 yards on the ground. Edwards paced the Cardinals’ rushing attack with 83 yards to bring BSU’s first half total yardage to 318. Following a scoop and score on an EMU fumble to start the second half, the Eagles answered with their first touchdown of the contest. Eastern marched 78 yards down the field on seven plays in just 2:38. Russell equaled his first half of receiving yards on the scoring drive alone, making a spectacular one-handed grab before catching a 10-yard pass from Bell in the back of the endzone. Once again, Bell also moved the Eagles using his feet with 39 yards rushing during the drive. The Eastern defense forced a three-and-out on the ensuing Ball State drive, and EMU ended up with good field position near midfield. Bell did not let that starting position go to waste, once again leading the Eagles into the red zone. While the Green and White could not find another touchdown, Mulder converted his second field goal of the game, nailing a 25-yarder. Following another Ball State punt, Mulder added another field goal from 36 yards out to make it a 35-16 contest. For the fourth straight game, the EMU defense kept the opposition out of the end zone. With the only points coming from a touchdown by Ball State’s own defense, the Eagles outscored the Cardinals 13-7 in the third quarter. BSU started the quarter with 10 straight points before Bell orchestrated another long scoring drive, this time resulting in a one yard pass-and-catch to Jackson for the touchdown. The EMU quarterback accounted for all 75 yards on the drive to give the Eagles their highest point total since a 37-27 victory over Buffalo, Oct. 11. However, Bell and the Eastern Michigan offense were not done, continuing to fight. Bell passed the 400-yard mark on a 70-yard drive, and he found Strange on a six-yard pass to make the game its final 45-30 tally.

(EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s football team ended its 123rd season on the gridiron with a 52-16 setback to Mid-American Conference foe the University of Toledo, Nov. 28. The Eagles wrapped up the 2014 campaign with a 2-10 (1-7 MAC) record, while the Rockets improved to 8-4 (7-1 MAC). Friday’s contest marked the final game in the careers of 18 senior Eagles, including: Tyler Allen, Campbell Allison, Rob Bolden, Ryan Brumfield, Pudge Cotton, Willie Creear, Owen Dubiel, Jordan Erbes, David Gibson, Lincoln Hansen, Bronson Hill, Kevin Johnson, Oliver Kathalay, Travis Linser, Robert McFadden, Garrett Parker, Tyreese Russell, and Gary White Jr. Allen saw his name etched into both EMU and MAC record books, becoming the leader in career kick returns with 131, surpassing former Eagle Trumaine Riley for the top spot on both charts. Allen ends his career as not only the career kick return leader, but also the EMU career kick return yardage leader with 2,664 yards, which also ranks second in the conference all-time. Eastern was led offensively by Reginald Bell Jr., who was 8-for-23 with two touchdown passes for a total 119 yards through the air. The two Green and White touchdowns came from Brumfield and Kris Strange, the latter of whom had a career day with 55 yards receiving, including a careerbest 45-yard catch for a touchdown. Hill led the ground attack, running 50 yards on six carries, including a seasonbest 38-yard trip downfield. Defensively, the Eagles were paced by Great Ibe and Pat O’Connor with 12 tackles apiece, while Anthony Zappone and Jeremiah Harris picked up 11 and 10, respectively. Logan Woodside, who went 14-for-18 for 323 yards and five touchdowns, led Toledo’s passing game. The receiving offense was fanned out, with four Rockets hauling in 40or-more yards and five different receivers recording a touchdown. On the ground, reigning MAC West Offensive Player of the Week Kareem Hunt led all players with 110 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries. The Rockets played a wide array of defensive linemen, and three Rockets led the team with six tackles apiece. Though the Eagles started out with the opportunity to score first in the contest, Christian Dukes quickly picked off Bell. The Rockets would not waste any time in finding pay dirt, as Woodside found Corey Jones 41 yards downfield to put the Eagles in the hole, 7-0, with 13:21 remaining in the first quarter. Another Toledo touchdown required just a 10-yard scamper by Hunt to set Woodside up for a pass to Justin Olack in the end zone at the 10:56 mark. Needing just four plays and less than a minute of possession time to notch a pair of scores, the Rockets put the Eagles on the wrong side of a 14-0score. The Green and White started to get its defense working after Toledo’s second touchdown, keeping the Rockets from moving the chains before Harris sacked Woodside forceda fumble that would be recovered by Toledo but in turn led Nick Ellis to punt from inside the UT end zone. Woodside notched his third touchdown pass of the quarter when he found Kishon Wilcher open for an 89-yard catch. The reception was good for the second-longest touchdown catch in Rynearson Stadium history, falling only behind a 94-yard strike by Ball State’s Toriel Gibson out of the arm of Keith Wenning on Nov. 5, 2011. With 1:28 remaining in the opening quarter, the Eagles trailed 21-0. Just before the close of the first quarter, Bell was able to find Russell open for a six-yard lob, just far enough for Russell to muscle his way to a first down. The previous play between Bell and Russell sparked Bell’s passing precision, as he opened up the second half with a 45-yarder to Strange, putting the Eagles in the red zone. Bell and Strange connected once more, this time for a 10-yard pass for a touchdown at 13:41. The Green and White had to remain at a 21-6 disadvantage after missing the extra point. Following a 50-yard punt return by Jones, Toledo had just eight yards to traverse to reach scoring territory. EMU’s red zone defense was only able to protect the line for so

long before Hunt made a reaching sprawl to drive the ball through the plane for the Rockets’ first rushing touchdown of the game at 5:53. Less than 30 seconds later, Bell was intercepted once more, this time by Chaz Wittaker. The Toledo rushing game continued to pick up its speed at a rampant pace with Hunt and Damion Jones-Moore carrying the ball down the middle of the field. Jones-Moore ran in a touchdown at the 4:26 mark and another long pass from Woodside landed in the hands of Alonzo Russell for a 59-yard touchdown haul with 1:18 to play to give Toledo a commanding lead over the Green and White, 42-6. Eastern saw a season-best play from Hill, who rushed for 38 yards to get the Eagles into Rockets’ territory, making the longest run by an EMU running back this season. The Green and White was able to put some points on the board courtesy of a 42-yard field goal by Dylan Mulder at the close of the first half, just one yard shy of his season-best 43-yarder against Old Dominion, Sept. 13. The successful field goal moved the junior kicker into the top-10 career points list in EMU laurels. Mulder now has 139 for his career after passing Bob Foster on the all-time chart. Toledo relied more on its ground attack to open up the second half of play, racking up 38 yards rushing to go along with some chain-moving passes. The Rockets were unable to find a player in the end zone thanks in large part to an Ibe tackle-for-loss and instead had to settle for a 21-yard field goal. Bell was able to keep the offense alive and move the team down the field, finding Brumfield on the right sideline for his longest reception of the season with a 34-yard catch. Brumfield saw an open route ahead of him and scampered in for a touchdown that cut the deficit to 45-16 with 4:45 to play. The catch was the second-longest touchdown reception that Brumfield has hauled in during his career, falling behind a 43-yard reception at Rutgers, Sept. 14, 2013. The Rockets surpassed the 50-point barrier off a reception by Michael Roberts with 29 seconds remaining in the third quarter, pulling further away from EMU at 52-16 with 4:10 remaining in the contest to close out the scoring.

103

Mid-American Conference Providing leadership in education and diversity, the MidAmerican Conference moves into its 70th year of service to our students. 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 10 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 its commitment to 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). The MAC secured a four-year contract extension with Ford Field to host the Marathon MAC Football Championship Game through the 2019 football season, anchored a six-year contract extension for the MAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments at Quicken Loans Arena through the 2023 season, and stabilized a five year contract extension through the 2020 season for the MAC Baseball Tournament at All Pro Freight Stadium in Avon, Ohio. 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 recently served as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and will also serve as host of the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, also at Quicken Loans Arena. The MAC has previously hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under Steinbrecher’s direction. In the summer of 2014, the MAC and ESPN announced a historic 13-year rights extension deal through the 2026-27 season for expanded national television and digital distribution. This is the largest and most extensive agreement in the history of the Conference and brings long-term security for the MAC through the 2026-27 academic year. ESPN has exclusive television and digital distribution rights for all MAC sporting events, and guarantees coverage of every football game, and select men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sporting events. The MAC and ESPN will establish on-campus production capabilities that will provide a significant increase in the national coverage of baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling and Olympic sports on ESPN3. This will open up nearly 92 million households from ESPN3 for exposure to MAC sports for the first time in Conference history. Through this ESPN partnership, the MAC and CBS Sports Network announced a four-year sub-licensing agreement to expand its national coverage of football and basketball through the 2018-19 season. Last season the MAC had five programs receive football bowl invitations: Northern Illinois (Boca Raton Bowl), Bowling Green (Raycom Media Camellia Bowl), Toledo (GoDaddy Bowl), Central Michigan (Popeyes Bahamas Bowl) and Western Michigan (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl). In December of 2013, former Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-athlete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). During the 2014 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders. Mack’s selection was the highest-ever for the Buffalo program and the second highest ever selection for a MAC student. 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 firstever 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 (20142019). The creation of the Boca Raton, Popeyes 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 Popeyes 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 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. Each football season the MAC has 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. During the 2014 football season, NIU won the Marathon MAC Football Championship for the third time in the last four years.

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.

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.

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 47th season at the home venue for the Eastern Michigan University football and track teams in 2015-16. 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. Over two million fans have seen EMU play in Rynearson. In 23 of the 46 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 when the color was switched to gray. 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.

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.

Convocation Center

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in its 17th 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 nine first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, six 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.

1. FANS HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES As an individual who is a season ticket holder, a member of an Eastern Michigan University booster organization (e.g., Eagles Pride, E-Gridiron Group), has made financial contributions to EMU, or been involved in promoting EMU’s athletic program, you are considered a “Booster” and are required to adhere to an atmosphere of compliance. As a booster, your conduct reflects on the integrity of the entire university. Once you support EMU Athletics, you retain that identity as a booster forever - the rules still apply!

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 and Express.

EMU Did You Know?

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.

Team Award Winners JAMES M. “BINGO” BROWN AWARD (MOST VALUABLE OFFENSIVE PLAYER) The James M. “Bingo” Brown Award is awarded annually to the Eastern Michigan University football player who is voted by his teammates to have been the outstanding offensive player. The award is named for one of the most beloved and well known figures in the history of the Ypsilanti campus, James M. “Bingo” Brown. He died Sept. 1, 1965, at the age of 73. Known to thousands of young men and women only as “Bingo,” he served as football coach for two years (1923 and 1924) before being appointed dean of men in 1927, a position he held for 35 years until his retirement in 1962.

Lional Dalton, a two-time first team All-MidAmerican Conference selection in 1996 and 1997, was not drafted by any NFL team. However, he proved 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.

DIVERSITY MILESTONE

On Oct. 23, 2010 when Eastern Michigan University and the University of 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.

Quarterback RUSHING ATTACK

The Eagles were led by a career day out of quarterback Reginald Bell Jr. en route to a 37-27 victory over the University at Buffalo, Oct. 11, 2014. Bell threw 8-for-13 for 144 yards and one touchdown, but the Golden State native truly shone in his rushing. He led all players with 202 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground, including a pair of 70+ yarders. With touchdown runs of 71 and 72 yards, Bell became the first Eagle in EMU history to run for two 70+ yard touchdowns in one game. The redshirt freshman is also the first Eastern quarterback to rush for over 200 yards; the previous high for a quarterback was Alex Gillett, SHORT ROAD TRIPS - ACCORDING TO GOOGLE MAPS who ran for 189 yards in a win over Ball State, Oct. 16, 2010. Below is a list of the closest rivalries in the NCAA FBS subdivision (for Bell acted as the catalyst for the Green and White, as the offense went merly I-A). Only schools with a regular history made the list. from 73 yards of total offense to 484 yards after he went into the game CAMPUS-TO-CAMPUS with 4:15 left in the second quarter. The feat marks the first time since Rice - Houston ............................................................................................ 6.1 miles Nov. 9, 2013, that EMU has turned in more than 400 yards of total offense, Eastern Michigan - Michigan................................................7.5 miles the last time being against Western Michigan University in a Rynearson Washington State - Idaho........................................................................ 8.7 miles Stadium MAC matchup.
