NASSAU, Bahamas (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University football team played a hard fought game, but ultimately fell short in the 2016 Popeyes Bahamas Bowl 24-20, Friday afternoon, Dec. 23 at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Eagles completed the season with their first winning record since 1995, finishing 7-6.
The Eastern passing game carried the day for the Eagles, as redshirt junior Brogan Roback (Maumee, Ohio-Toledo St. Johns Jesuit) had 300 yards passing on 26 completions and two scores. Staying true to the theme of the season, Roback spread the love, completing passes to seven receivers.
