The game was the season opener for both teams and gives Pitt a 2-0 lead in the series. Sophomore quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. John’s Mich.-St. John’s) completed 16-of-27 passes for 106 yards. Senior Pierre Walker (Detroit, Mich.Central) led the Eagles’ rushing attack with 11 carries for 30 yards. Defensively, junior Daniel Holtzclaw (Enid, Okla.-Enid) led Eastern with 10 tackles, while sophomore Chris May (Jupiter, Fla.-Dwyer) added nine tackles. The Panthers were led by junior quarterback Bill Stull who was 14-of-20 for 177 yards and a touchdown before leaving in the third quarter with an injury to his throwing hand. Freshman running back LeSean McCoy rushed for 68 yards while sophomore Shane Brooks rushed for 12 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Eastern Michigan got on the board first with 3:30 left in the first quarter as redshirt freshman Sean Dutcher (Owosso, Mich.-Owosso) split the uprights for a 27-yard field goal to give the Eagles an early 3-0 advantage. However, Pittsburgh quickly drove 65 yards in five minutes before Shane Brooks scampered into the end zone for a touchdown with 1:26 left in the quarter to give the Panthers the 7-3 edge. Following an EMU turnover the Panthers expanded the margin to 11 points, 14-3, as Bill Stull connected with Oderick Turner for a 21-yard touchdown strike with 14:05 remaining in the second quarter. The Green and White strung together a 14-play, 49-yard drive midway through the second period, but the drive stalled at the 23-yard line. Dutcher once again was called upon to put points on the board but his 40-yard field goal attempt was just short. That was all the scoring the rest of the period as the defense for both sides stepped up to limit the opposing offense. For the period the Eagles racked up 96 total yards compared to 154 for Pitt. Following the intermission, the Panthers marched 60 yards in 11 plays before Brooks capped off the drive with a one-yard touchdown dive with 5:49 left in the third quarter. Pittsburgh would tack on a pair of late field goals to reach the game’s final margin of 24, 27-3.

The day marked the 20th anniversary of the 1987 team and more than 75 players and coaches were on hand for the conference opener. It was a disappointing ending for both the guests and the current EMU squad as the Eagles were limited to just 262 yards in total offense to 459 for the Cardinals. Despite the loss the Eagles had two bright plays during the game. The first one game as redshirt sophomore quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. John’s, Mich.-St. John’s) connected with sophomore wide receiver DeAnthony White (Kennesaw, Ga.-Kell) on a 67-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. The second huge play came in the fourth quarter as sophomore wide receiver and kick return specialist Dontayo Gage (Pontiac, Mich.-Northern) set a Rynearson Stadium record with a 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. That return broke the stadium record of 88 yards by Craig Thompson against Temple (Sept. 9, 1993). The Eagles’ offense was paced by senior tailback Pierre Walker (Detroit, Mich.-Central) who rushed for 65 yards on 15 carries. Schmitt completed 16-of-24 passes for 155 yards and one touchdown. Defensively the Eagles were led by the linebacking trio of Andre Hatchett (Indianapolis, Ind.-Warren Central), Daniel Holtzclaw (Enid, OK-Enid) and Darran Matthews (Redford, Mich.-Thurston) with nine tackles each. EMU also recorded eight tackles-for-loss of 26 yards, with Jason Jones (Southfield, Mich.-Lathrup) notching three for 10 yards. With the win Ball State moves to 1-1 overall and 1-1 in the MAC. 2008 EMU Football SACKS (No.-Yds.): Eastern Michigan: 2-15; JONES, Jason 1-7; MATTHEWS, Darran 0.5-4; SEABERRY, Lorenzo 0.5-4 General Information Game 2 Ball State at EMU Saturday, Sept. 8, 2007 Rynearson Stadium Ypsilanti, Mich.

The visiting Eagles held the tenuous two-point lead when Northern Illinois took possession of the ball on the NIU 39-yard line with 1:54 left in the game. The Huskies advanced the ball to the EMU 33-yard line and called time out with 11 seconds left and called on senior place-kicker Chris Nendick to attempt a 50-yard field goal. That left it all up to the EMU defense and they rose to the occasion, getting a tremendous surge from the front four with Young breaking through for the timely block. The last-second heroics were set up by a stingy EMU defense and a resurgent offense after the Eagles trailed 13-0 heading into the second quarter. After that sluggish first quarter, the Green and White rallied to out score the Huskies 21-6 over the final three quarters. Head coach Jeff Genyk’s Eagles used a balanced offensive attack to pull off the win, recording 189 yards on the ground and 189 yards through the air. Sophomore DeAnthony White (Kennesaw, Ga.-Kell) was the big-play man on offense, scoring on a 68-yard run and also had a 38-yard pass reception that led to a touchdown one play later. Senior tailback Pierre Walker (Detroit, Mich.-Central) was a workhorse on offense, rushing 25 times for 66 yards and two touchdown runs of one yard each. Linebackers Andre Hatchett (Indianapolis, Ind.-Warren Central) and Daniel Holtzclaw (Enid, Ok.-Enid) each recorded 13 tackles for the EMU defense. After Northern Illinois raced out to the 13-0 lead, the Eagles got on the board with just 22 seconds left in the second quarter when Walker bulldozed through the NIU defense for a one-yard score with Sean Dutcher (Owosso, Mich.-Owosso) adding the PAT. Eastern came out of halftime on a mission, taking its first lead of the game, 14-13, on the spectacular 68-yard touchdown run by White, aided by a downfield block by quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. John’s. Mich.-St. John’s). Dutcher added the PAT. The Eagles increased that advantage to 21-13 on another one-yard Walker touchdown run after Holtzclaw intercepted a pass at the NIU 16-yard line. That was the sixth pick of Holtzclaw’s career. Dutcher again added the PAT. Northern pulled within two, 21-19, with 04:20 left on a seven-yard touchdown pass, missing a two-point conversion pass to set up the final late-game drama.

EMU redshirt sophomore quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. John’s, Mich.-St. John’s) directed an Eagles’ offense that took advantage of five Howard turnovers to score a season-high 38 points. Schmitt completed 14-of-21 passes for 214 yards and four touchdowns, tying the EMU record for second-most touchdown passes in a single game. Schmitt called on four different receivers for touchdowns in the game. Schmitt hooked up with freshman tailback Dwayne Priest (Roanoke, Va.-William Fleming-Fork Union Academy) on a 24-yard touchdown strike followed by a four-yard touchdown pass to senior Ken Bohnet (Grand Ledge, Mich.-Grand Ledge), a 35-yard TD strike to redshirt freshman Tyrone Burke (Syracuse, N.Y.-Corcoran) and a 10-yard scoring strike to senior Travis Lewis (Kalamazoo, Mich.-Loy Norrix). Redshirt sophomore punter Zach Johnson (Springboro, Ohio-Springboro) turned in an outstanding special teams effort, punting six times for a 41.8 yards average, booting a field goal of 22 yards and kicking all five PAT’s. Defensively, the Eagles were paced by junior linebacker Daniel Holtzclaw (Enid, Okla.-Enid) who had a career-best 19 tackles, the 12th double-digit effort in his three seasons on the team. The Eagles pounced on the Bison early, recovering the game’s opening kickoff on the Howard 19-yard line. Senior Pierre Walker (Detroit, Mich.-Central) then rushed twice, for 12 yards on the first run followed by a seven-yard touchdown burst on the second play from scrimmage. Johnson added the PAT for a 7-0 lead. Johnson then booted a 22-yard field goal to stake the Eagles to a 10-0 lead. Priest caught his 24-yard touchdown pass from Schmitt with Johnson adding the PAT to help EMU close out the first half with a 17-0 advantage. The Eagles then scored twice in the third quarter, on Bohnet’s four-yard reception and Burke’s 35-yard score. Johnson booted both PAT’s for a 31-0 EMU lead with 3:59 left in the third quarter. Howard finally got on the board with two quick scores, the first an 11-yard pass to make it 31-7 with 40 seconds left in the third quarter. The second came on a 27-yard pass followed by a two-point conversion to cut EMU’s lead to 31-15 with just 6:19 left in the game. The Eagles left little doubt at the end, however, with Lewis scoring on his 10-yard reception with just :35 left. Johnson’s PAT made the final score, 38-15.

The Eagles could not overcome five interceptions, a lost fumble and several other mistakes in the non-conference tilt. Eastern will now take its 2-3 overall record into a battle of Washtenaw County next weekend, Oct. 6, when the Eagles travel seven miles west to play the University of Michigan in a noon contest. The Wolverines have rebounded from an 0-2 start and have won their last three games for a 3-2 record. In the loss at Vanderbilt, the Eagles’ defense came up with an outstanding overall effort, limiting the host Commodores to just 13 first-half points but the five interceptions proved costly. The Eagles started the game with an interception by junior defensive lineman Josh Hunt (Jackson, Mich.-Lumen Christi) on Vanderbilt’s first possession on the EMU 33-yard line followed by a 15-yard penalty on the home team gave the Eagles the ball on their own 47. That sudden change lasted just three plays as Vandy came right back with an interception of its own and followed that up with a 22-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead at the 5:43 mark of the first quarter. Vandy added a touchdown at the 3:03 mark for a 10-point lead. The EMU defense was stingy from that point, however, and held the home team scoreless until Vanderbilt’s 51-yard field goal attempt was wide left with just five seconds left in the half. The Eagles were called for offsides on the play and the home team made the most of that miss by making a 45-yard field goal as time expired in the first half. Vanderbilt made it 20-0 with an early third-quarter touchdown but the Eagles finally got on the board with 5:49 left in the third quarter when Travis Lewis (Kalamazoo, Mich.-Loy Norrix) caught a 14-yard pass from quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. John’s, Mich.-St. John’s) and Zach Johnson (Springboro, OhioSpringboro) added the PAT boot to cut the lead to 20-7. The Commodores then scored the game’s final 10 points to post the 30-7 win and upping their record to 3-1 on the young season. Offensively, the Eagles were held to just 62 yards rushing and 111 yards passing with Schmitt completing 13-of-24 passes for 111 yards and three interceptions while true freshman signal caller Kyle McMahon (Rochester Hills, Mich.-Pontiac Notre Dame Prep) was 0-of-2 passing for no yards and two picks. Redshirt freshman safety Ryan Downard (Lima, Ohio-Shawnee) turned in two interceptions for the Eagles to give him three on the year.

EMU’s Rynearson Stadium and Michigan Stadium are located just seven miles apart and the game was played on Michigan’s home field in front of 108,415 fans, but the large hostile crowd did not faze the Eagles as they kept pace with the Wolverines throughout. The game had plenty of big plays from both teams, including a defensive score for the Eagles, a huge rushing day for Michigan tailback Mike Hart, two interceptions on each side, and two perfectly executed on-side kicks by EMU. In the end it came down to two lost fumbles by the Eagles that spelled doom late in the game. After Michigan jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, the Eagles closed out the first period with a 25-yard field goal by Zach Johnson (Springboro, OhioSpringboro). The Wolverines made it 16-3 on a touchdown run by U-M’s Mike Hart, who finished the day with 215 yards rushing on 22 attempts with three scoring runs. On the PAT kick attempt after Hart’s first touchdown, EMU’s Jason Jones (Southfield, Mich.-Lathrup) blocked the kick and teammate Ryan Downard (Lima, OhioShawnee) scooped up the loose ball and raced 97 yards for the two-point Eagles’ defensive score, the third defensive score in school history. Johnson tacked on a career-long 41-yard field goal with just 1:35 left in the second quarter, and Eastern entered halftime trailing, 16-8. The Eagles started the second half with an on-side kick and Johnson recovered his own kick to give the Eagles possession. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) then capped a 57-yard drive to pull the Eagles within two, 16-14, at the 10:31 mark of the third quarter on a 10-yard touchdown run, but Johnson’s PAT kick was blocked. The Wolverines then came back with 10 straight points to go up 26-14 before disaster struck the Eagles over a brief two-minute span. Michigan recovered a fumbled kickoff on the EMU 17-yard line and Hart made the visitors pay with a quick 17-yard touchdown run on the first play with the PAT staking the Wolverines to a 33-14 advantage. Michigan then recovered another EMU fumble just three plays later but the Eagles dodged that bullet with sophomore defensive back Derrick Hunter (Southfield, Mich.-Southfield) recording the first interception of his career at the UM 5-yard line with :53 left in the third quarter. The EMU defense held the Wolverines without a score over the final 15 minutes and the Eagles’ offense scored eight points on an 18-yard pass from true freshman Kyle McMahon (Rochester Hills, Mich.-Pontiac Notre Dame) to redshirt freshman Tyrone Burke (Syracuse, NY.-Corcoran) and a two-point conversion run by McMahon for the final eight points. Senior Darran Matthews (Redford, Mich.-Thurston) and Jones led the Eagles defense with Matthews recording 11 tackles and Jones turned in 3.5 tackles-for-loss of 13 yards, including a sack for eight yards.

EAGLES DROP 48-42 SHOOTOUT IN ATHENS Eastern Michigan and Ohio University entered the Mid-American Conference cross-divisional game with scoring averages of 17.8 for the Eagles and 23.7 for the Bobcats. The two teams easily surpassed their averages as Ohio recorded its third victory against four setbacks with a 48-42 victory. The loss drops the Eagles to 2-5 overall and 1-2 in the MAC. After spotting the Bobcats to a 28-0 lead after the first 18 minutes of the game, the Eagles stormed back to out-score the home team, 42-20, the rest of the game. Eastern cut Ohio’s once huge lead to just six points, 48-42, with 1:07 left when quarterback Kyle McMahon (Rochester Hills, Mich.-Pontiac Notre Dame Prep), playing in relief of injured starter Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns), hit wide receiver Tyler Jones (Belleville, Mich.-Belleville) for a five-yard touchdown pass with Zach Johnson (Springboro, Ohio-Springboro) adding his sixth PAT boot of the game. Eastern’s chance at the huge comeback win fell short, however, as an on-side kick on the ensuing kickoff was recovered by the Bobcats and allowed Ohio to run out the clock. After Ohio jumped to the 28-0 lead, the Eagles got on the scoreboard for the first time when redshirt sophomore receiver Jacory Stone (Cleveland, Ohio-Glenville) caught a 17-yard touchdown throw from Schmitt at the 9:02 mark of the second quarter. Sophomore cornerback Derrick Hunter (Southfield, Mich.-Southfield) then picked up an Ohio U. fumble and raced 80 yards for a touchdown with Johnson adding the PAT with 5:39 left in the first half. That return by Hunter was the first fumble return for a touchdown since Jerry Gaines pulled off the feat on an 82-yard fumble return against Buffalo (Sept. 2, 2004). Ohio added a field goal with 2:26 left in the first half for a 31-14 lead. The Eagles came out for the second half with a vengeance, recording a 38-yard touchdown pass from Schmitt to DeAnthony White (Kennesaw, Ga.-Kell) and an eight-yard touchdown pass from Schmitt to Stone. The EMU offense continued to roll, with Jones catching a seven-yard pass from Schmitt with 09:38 left in the game followed by the Jones TD reception with one-minute left. Schmitt turned in a solid offensive effort before leaving with a slight shoulder injury late in the game. Schmitt completed 20-of-28 passes for 210 yards and tying his personal best with four touchdown passes. He also rushed 15 times for 55 yards. Defensively the Eagles were led once again by linebackers Daniel Holtzclaw (Enid, Ok.-Enid) and Darran Matthews (Redford, Mich.-Thurston) with 13 and 11 tackles respectively. Defensive tackle Jason Jones (Southfield, Mich.-Lathrup) added eight tackles, 1.5 tackles-for-loss of 11 yards and one sack for nine yards.

Eastern (3-6 overall and 2-2 MAC) and Western (3-6; 2-3) battled to a baseballlike 3-2 EMU lead heading into the locker room at halftime. The EMU defense kept its pressure on in the second half and the offense came to life with 16 unanswered points for the 19-2 win. The Green and White forced six Western Michigan turnovers, with three interceptions and three fumbles. Senior tailback Pierre Walker (Detroit, Mich.-Central) had a career day on the ground, rushing 33 times for a career-high 151 yards. Redshirt freshman safety Ryan Downard (Lima, Ohio-Shawnee) turned in two interceptions on the day, increasing his season total to six. The Eagles piled up 255 yards on the ground and added 137 through the air for 392 yards in total offense while the defense limited the Broncos to just 199 yards in total offense on the day and just 53 yards on the ground. Western Michigan struck first when linebacker Boston McCornell corralled the Eagles Pierre Walker in the EMU end zone for a safety with just :25 left in the first quarter. The Eagles managed to grab a 3-2 halftime lead when Zach Johnson (Springboro, Ohio-Springboro) connected on a 25-yard field goal at the 9:09 mark of the second quarter. Eastern turned in the first two scores of the second half, the first on a 55-yard run by Dontayo Gage (Pontiac, Mich.-Northern) at the 7:16 mark of the third quarter, and the second on a career-best 50-yard field goal by Johnson to give the Eagles a 12-2 advantage. Johnson’s PAT after the Gage touchdown was wide right. The Eagles added to their lead with 9:26 left in the game when true freshman Kyle McMahon (Rochester Hills, Mich.-Pontiac Notre Dame Prep) found redshirt sophomore wide receiver Jacory Stone (Cleveland, Ohio-Glenville) for a 19-yard score with Johnson adding the PAT for a 19-2 Eagles’ lead. On the ensuing possession, the Eagle defense forced a punt from the Broncos, taking over at their own 15-yard line. Walker carried eight consecutive times, helping the Eagles run the clock down. On a fourth and four from the Broncos 28, McMahon threw his first interception of the game, stalling the drive with 1:30 remaining. Downard would intercept a Tim HIller pass with nine seconds remaining to seal the victory for the Green and White. EMU took a knee to secure its third consecutive homecoming victory.

The loss drops EMU to 3-7 overall and 2-2 in the MAC West and 2-3 overall in league play. Toledo moves to 5-5 overall, 2-2 in the West and 3-3 overall in the MAC. EMU senior tailback Pierre Walker (Detroit, Mich.-Central), who rushed for a career-best 150 yards in a win over Western Michigan last weekend, came up with another big game against the Rockets, rushing for 93 yards on 22 carries and recording a career-best three touchdown runs. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) came on in the second half in relief of true freshman signal-caller Kyle McMahon (Rochester Hills, Mich.-Pontiac Notre Dame Prep) and finished with a 111 yards on 10-of-17 passing and a TD. McMahon, who was 7-of-13 for 72 yards in the first half, finished 8-of-16 for 89 yards and two interceptions. Toledo rolled to a 28-7 halftime lead only to see the Eagles roar back with three touchdowns in the first 19 minutes of the second half to cut the margin to 14 points, 35-21, with 6:26 left in the third quarter. However, it was the Rockets that were able to once again muscle up on offense, out-scoring the Eagles 17-7 over the remaining 21 minutes. The Midnight Blue and Gold jumped out to a 14-0 lead via two touchdown runs by tailback Jalen Parmele. He turned in the game’s first score on a 31-yard run at the 13:17 mark of the first quarter and added a 29-yard score at the 13:29 mark of the second quarter. The Eagles got on the board with 8:37 left in the second quarter when Walker burst through the left side of the line for a one-yard score. Zach Johnson (Springboro, Ohio-Springboro) added the PAT to cut Toledo’s advantage to 14-7. Toledo went up 21-7 with 5:00 left in the second quarter on a 20-yard pass play from Aaron Opelt to Stephen Williams. Williams would add another TD to his credit just before the half, as Opelt found the streaking wide receiver for the 64-yard touchdown strike to make it 28-7 heading into intermission.

The loss drops EMU to 3-7 overall and 2-4 in MAC play while Bowling Green moves to 6-4 overall and 4-2 in league play. Senior tailback Pierre Walker (Detroit, Mich.-Central), turned in a career day with 155 yards on 31 rushes, eclipsing the mark of 151 yards he set earlier this season versus Western Michigan University (Oct. 27). He also scored one touchdown to give him seven on the season. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) gave the Eagles a 32-31 lead with an eight-yard touchdown run on a fake handoff with 6:22 left in the game. A two-point conversion run was just short. Schmitt went 12-for-18 for 134 yards on the day. The visitors then came back to regain the lead, 39-32, with 3:54 left when quarterback Tyler Sheehan rushed for a one-yard score followed by a two-point conversion. Eastern had one final shot at the win, driving to the BGSU 46-yard line but a fourth-andthree pass was batted down, giving the Falcons the ball with just 1:48 left and they held the ball the rest of the game to claim the seven-point win. Eastern’s offense was on target most of the game, running for 269 yards while passing for 134. The Falcons also managed some big offensive numbers, with 419 yards in total offense. The Falcons struck for two quick scores at the start of the second half to take a 28-20 lead with 4:17 remaining. The first score came on a fumble recovery in the end zone for a touchdown and the second was a seven-yard run. Eastern bounced back to pull within two, 28-26, on a five-yard touchdown pass from Schmitt to senior tight end Ken Bohnet (Grand Ledge, Mich.-Grand Ledge) at the start of the fourth quarter. A two-point conversion pass to tie the game was incomplete, leaving the Eagles trailing by two. BGSU added a 41-yard field goal with 11:07 left in the game for a 31-26 advantage. Both teams opened the game with scoring drives on their first offensive possessions. The Falcons took just five plays to go 52 yards for a score when quarterback Tyler Sheehan found Freddie Barnes for a 20-yard touchdown pass. Vrvilo added the PAT. The Eagles came right back to knot the game at 7-7, driving 72 yards on 13 plays with Schmitt capping the drive with a three-yard rush up the middle. Zach Johnson (Springboro, Ohio-Springboro) added the PAT. EMU true freshman cornerback Arrington Hicks (Orlando, Fla.-Edgewater), earning his first collegiate start, came up with an interception on the BGSU 40-yard line to set up EMU’s second scoring drive. The Eagles took advantage of that turnover immediately, traveling 81 yards on five plays with Walker scoring on a five-yard run with Johnson adding the PAT to make it 14-7 in favor of the Eagles at the four-minute mark of the first quarter. The Falcons tied the game at 14 after taking advantage of an EMU personal foul penalty with eight minutes left in the second quarter. Eastern had stopped BGSU on a third-and-long situation near mid field, forcing a Falcon punt situation from the EMU 39-yard line. The Eagles received the 15-yard penalty, giving BG an automatic first down. The Falcons made that penalty hurt, scoring on a four-yard run by Anthony Turner two plays later, at the 7:09 mark. Eastern fought right back on its next offensive drive, rolling 80 yards in eight plays with junior wide receiver Tyler Jones (Belleville, Mich.-Belleville) hauling in a 29-yard Schmitt aerial for the touchdown at the 3:11 mark of the second quarter. Johnson’s PAT clanged off the right upright, leaving the Eagles with a six-point lead, 20-14.

Trailing by a 45-42 count with just 6:30 left in the game, the Eagles marched 62 yards in eight plays and took a 48-45 lead with 3:08 left on a one-yard touchdown run by senior tailback Pierre Walker (Detroit,Mich.-Central). Eastern was assessed with a personal foul penalty on the score, however, and Zach Johnson’s (Springboro, Ohio-Springboro) 33-yard extra-point kick was no good, giving the Eagles the tenuous three-point lead. West Division champion CMU (6-5; 5-1 MAC) then moved down to the EMU 14-yard line, but a 15-yard personal foul penalty moved the Chippewas back to the EMU 34. After an incomplete pass with just 00:27 remaining, Central faced a fourth-and-30yard situation. The Chippewas then called on the field-goal unit, but a 52-yard field goal attempt was wide left, giving the Eagles the 48-45 victory. The win for the Eagles closed their season with a 4-8 overall record and a 3-4 MAC mark. The win also gave the Eagles possession of the Michigan MAC Trophy, sponsored by the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, which goes annually to the team with the best record in games involving EMU-CMU and Western Michigan. Eastern was 2-0 while CMU was 1-1 and WMU 0-2. The Eagles, who were a perfect six-for-six on offensive fourth down attempts on the evening, rolled up 441 yards in total offense, with Walker gaining 149 yards on 31 carries while scoring three touchdowns. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Andy Schmitt (St. Johns, Mich.-St. Johns) completed 25-of-34 passes for 212 yards and one touchdown and also rushed 11 times for 61 yards and three scores. The Eagles started the game with two quick touchdowns. After winning the pregame coin toss, the Eagles returned the kickoff to the CMU 27-yard line. Schmitt then marched the Eagles 73 yards on 11 plays, topping the drive with his own one-yard touchdown run. Johnson added all of EMU’s PAT kicks. On the ensuing kickoff, EMU’s Tyler Jones (Belleville, Mich.-Belleville) recovered a Chippewa fumble on the CMU 33-yard line. This time around it took just four plays for the Eagles to drive 33 yards, with the payoff a 17-yard scoring run by Walker. The Chippewas fought back to pull within four in the first quarter, 14-10, on a 21-yard field goal by Andrew Aguila followed by a 76-yard touchdown run by Justin Hoskins. Central then made it 17 unanswered points when it drove 75 yards in six plays, capped off by a 26-yard touchdown run by quarterback Dan LeFevour with 11:08 left in the second quarter. The Eagles finally stopped the bleeding, when the Green and White drove 80 yards in 11 plays with sophomore wide receiver DeAnthony White (Kennasaw, Ga.-Kell) scoring on a 28-yard pass from Schmitt. That Eastern drive was kept alive by a fourthdown pass from Johnson to Tyrone Burke (Syracuse, N.Y.-Corcoran) on a fake punt to put the Eagles up, 21-17, with 6:01 left in the half. Central was not to be denied, however, scoring on its next possession to take a 24-21 lead with 3:39 left in the half, and the half ended with the Chips holding that three-point advantage.
