BG and EMU Preview

As Coach Clawson used to say, this one is a "who loves football" game.  Both BG and EMU are out of the MAC race.  Accordingly, we can't even play spoiler.  BG would need to win out to get a bowl eligible and EMU will not be bowl eligible.

All in the industrial grey of The Factory and likely a small crowd.  You will have to generate your own momentum.

BG will have a new playcaller, presumably in line with Coach George's philosophy.  BG's offense has been weak and the defense better in spots and not in others.  

EMU has been respectable most seasons under Chris Creighton, who embraced one of the toughest challenges in college football.  The last two seasons have been rougher...they are 3-10 in the MAC over those years.

We haven't played EMU since 2021.  EMU has won the last 3 meetings.  Two under Jinks and then a blowout to Loeffler.

It will be interesting to see what happens at QB.  I almost got the impression BG would go with Najm this week, but we will have to see.  It didn't sound like Pyne would get healthier.  No word on Anderson.

And it would be huge to get Padgett and Burns back.

EMU is favored by 2.5
