Western Michigan @ Eastern Michigan - In Pictures

Once again, Eastern Michigan finds itself on the short side of a game that they had in their grasp. The defense managed to hold Western Michigan to 17 points in regulation. They also managed to hold the Broncos to a field goal. Eastern Michigan had to punch it in for a touch down to win.

The sad part is that I think with a win in this game, they still had a shot at the MAC Championship. It would be a nice tribute to the 1987 Eastern Michigan team to bring another MAC trophy to Ypsilanti. Sadly, it doesn’t get much easier for them in the rest of the season.

Anyway, more dissection in my Five Things Learned Post. For now, pictures...
