When the fourth quarter started, Eastern Michigan (0-4) was leading by a score of 20 to 6. CMU starting quarterback Daniel Richardson had been carted off with a nasty leg injury, and the CMU offense had been completely sick in the EMU redzone, converting four trips inside the Eagles’ 20 yard line or better into only three points.
EMU, meanwhile, was in the midst of yet another Preston Hutchison coronation party, as the Eagles QB had accounted for both of EMU’s touchdowns on the ground and was showing an impressive arm all throughout the game, piling up 215 yards by halftime.
