Actual Scoring Margin: Eastern Michigan by 10 |
A hell of a day for EMU quarterback Reginald Bell: 8-for-13 passing for 144 yards and a touchdown ... and 17 carries for 202 yards and three scores. EMU let UB go up 10-0, then scored 37 of the next 47 points, capping the game with a 72-yard run by Bell with 2:25 left. EMU avoided psasing downs, did just enough through the air to keep UB from ganging up on the run, blocked better, and won the turnover battle. Not a bad recipe. And it earned the Eagles their first win over an FBS team not named WMU since October 2012. (They were 2-0 against WMU, 2-0 against MEAC teams, and 0-18 against everybody else.)
