When the clock struck zero in the first quarter, the Eagles found themselves down by two touchdowns. Eastern Michigan managed to cut that deficit in half at the end of the first half but they couldn’t quite get in gear to overcome it.
The Eagles starting quarterback Tyler Wiegers (8 for 11 for 64 yards) found himself getting pulled in the second quarter for Mike Glass (17 for 27 for 284 yards and two touchdowns). If you take out the 69 rushing yards by Mike Glass, Eastern Michigan still had rushing woes with Shaq Vann running for 30 yards and Ian Eriksen running for 24.
