Eastern Michigan should be able to stay in this game as their defense and offense look better this year and they are coming into this game on a 5-0 streak from last season, winning their season opener as well. Minnesota somehow pulled out a win against a Nebraska team that was dominating for most of the game. The traditional Gopher's defense did not look up to snuff and they may have difficulties with this fiesty MAC team. Minnesota's QB also did not look great as he connected on only 54.5% of his passes (24-for-44), with one touchdown and one interception (196.0 yards per game). Meanwhile EMU QB Austin Smith completed 67.9% of his passes. The spread may just be too many points here, take EMU for the easy win!
