YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Toughness. Pride. Resilience. Those key words have come to describe Eastern Michigan University football under the direction of Head Coach Chris Creighton as he enters his eighth season in Ypsilanti in 2021. Creighton and his staff have made tremendous strides in changing the culture and mindset surrounding the program, however, it might be time to add "consistent" and "stable" to those program defining words.
On Wednesday, July 28, ESPN ranked all 130 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) programs in order of stability. Eastern Michigan checked in at No. 9 overall and tied with Miami University for the top-spot in the Mid-American Conference.
