Why Eastern Michigan Will Win

Eastern Michigan is bowl eligible, and now it’s time to have some fun and secure a spot. Six wins made the program eligible. Seven wins would all but cement a bowl.

It’s not like the team is doing anything amazing, but it’s phenomenally consistent lately. It’s going to throw for just under 200 yards, it’ll run for around 120 yards, and it’ll be great to keep things moving and control the clock.

As always, Kent State doesn’t care about possession time – it’s called the FlashFast style for a reason – but in this, EMU grinding it out a bit against a D that can’t stop teams from moving the chains will matter.

However …

Why Kent State Will Win

Kent State needs this win and it’s about to pull out all the offensive stops.

It needs to win this and beat Buffalo to get bowl eligible, and there’s still a path to winning the East if everyone else melts down.

Basically, in terms of desperation, Kent State is there.

It’s this simple. Kent State wins when it runs wild – it’s 3-0 when running for 230 yards or more and 1-6 when it doesn’t – and Eastern Michigan is 0-3 against FBS teams when it allows 230 yards or more.

What’s Going To Happen

Kent State will run for over 230 yards as it plays well at home and keeps the mistakes to a minimum.

Eastern Michigan will be balanced and it won’t screw up enough to give away a slew of easy points off of field position, but it won’t matter.

Being at home will matter for the Golden Flashes – the O will be a wee bit sharper – even though Eastern Michigan is terrific on the road.

Why Eastern Michigan Will Win

There might be a whole lot of work needed in the EMU skill spots after replacing the top guys, but the offensive line is loaded with experience and should be terrific in pass protection right out of the gate.

The defensive side has the tackles and the bulk to hold up, and there should be a bit more of a pass rush against a Kent State offensive front that had big problems keeping teams out of the backfield. It’s a veteran Golden Flash O line, but it has to be far, far better at preventing tackles for loss.

Why Kent State Will Win

The offense got red hot at the end of last season, and now it gets back QB Dustin Crum and just enough offense weapons to work around the experience line.

This might not be a big defense, but it’s athletic, gets around the ball, and the quickness is there to bother the new guys in the Eastern Michigan backfield. The Eagle passing game isn’t expected to be lights out right away, and the Kent State secondary should be able to hold up.

What’s Going To Happen

The Kent State attack was great at the end of last year, and it’s got the style to give EMU problems right away. The Golden Flashes won 34-26 last year, and it’s going to be another good fight.

Eastern Michigan has the athleticism on the defensive side to hold up, but the revamped Kent State defense will do just enough to hold down Preston Hutchinson and the EMU passing attack.

It’s Eastern Michigan, though. You know how this works (it seems like it keeps every game close).
