Week 1 is finally upon us and the best way to erase all memory of the last few seasons would be with a good ole beatdown on some helpless FCS team looking for a payday. That is what we will see, but there will be some live full speed game action going on to better judge just where this team is right now.
Eastern Illinois also has seven players from the state of Arkansas on its roster with 5 of them being in the defensive secondary, but their return back to Arkansas will only be fun for a quarter or so before the huge physical advantage sets in.
