Poljan benched as EMU rolls Chippewas in rivalry

Robi Stuart broke through Eastern Michigan’s offensive line and Malik Fountain followed intently.

The duo crashed into EMU starting quarterback Mike Glass III, forcing him out of the game with a right leg injury midway through the second quarter.

Tyler Wiegers, the expected starter, jumped into action against Central Michigan, an in-state Mid-American Conference rivalry. That’s when coach John Bonamego’s defensive group capitalized, but it wasn’t enough.

Struggles from starting quarterback Tony Poljan allowed the Eagles (5-5, 3-3 MAC) pull off a 17-7 victory over the Chippewas (1-9, 0-6 MAC) on Nov. 3 at Rynearson Stadium.
