2013 Preseason Notebook2013 SEASON: The 2013 season is the 122nd for the Eastern Michigan University football team. The first year of intercollegiate football in Yp-silanti was 1891 when the team posted an 0-2 record. EMU has fielded a team every year since 1891 with one exception, when the 1944 season was canceled because of World War II.

38th FOR THE MAC: The 2013 season marks the 38th year that the Eagles have been a part of the Mid-American Conference football championship race. EMU was admitted into the league in 1971, but a complete league schedule was not available until the 1976 season.

EMU ANNOUNCES 2013 SCHEDUlE: The Eastern Michigan University football team will have an eight-game Mid-American Conference schedule and non-conference games with Army, Howard, Penn State and Rutgers in its 2013 schedule announced March 1. The Eagles are scheduled to play three of their non-conference games on the road with trips to Penn State, Saturday, Sept. 7, Rutgers, Sept. 14, and Army Saturday, Oct. 12. The Eagles will open their 122nd season on the gridiron with a non-conference home game against Howard Saturday, Aug. 31, in Rynearson Stadium. On the MAC front the Eagles will host Ball State Saturday, Sept. 21, Ohio Saturday, Oct. 19, Western Michigan Saturday, Nov. 9, and Bowling Green Saturday, Nov. 23, in Rynearson. League road games will see the Eagles travel to Buffalo Saturday, Oct. 5, Northern Illinois Saturday, Oct. 26, Toledo Saturday, Nov. 2, and Central Michigan Friday, Nov. 29. EMU will have a pair of open dates Saturday, Sept. 28 and Saturday, Nov. 16.

COACHING CHANGES FOR 2013: Eastern Michigan University Head Football Coach Ron English announced his coaching staff for the 2013 campaign. The Eagles will have four new assistant coaches on staff while shuffling around the responsibilities of others. On the offensive side of the ball, Stan Parrish takes over as the offen-sive coordinator/quarterbacks coach in 2013. Doug Downing remains as the wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator for his fourth season on staff, while Mike Hart enters his second season as the running backs coach. For the fifth-straight season, Tom Burpee will coach the tight ends, but will hand off special teams responsibilities to Ryan Oshnock. Round-ing out the offense, Brad Wilson enters his first year as the offensive line coach. Defensively, Ken Delgado enters his fourth season at EMU mentoring the defensive line while KiJuan Ware will work with the secondary. Mark Criner rounds out the staff and will coach the linebackers.

SOPHOMORE SUCCESS: Eastern Michigan’s 2011 recruiting class paid major dividends in 2012, as the Eagles’ sophomore class accounted for 36 percent of the team’s points last season. Bronson Hill led the way for EMU with seven touchdowns for a total of 42 points. Meanwhile Ryan Brumfield had 18 points, Tyreese Russell had 18 and Demarius Reed had six. Defensively, Pudge Cotton also has an interception return for a touchdown.

BY THE NUMBERS: The Eagles ranked 19th in the nation in net punt-ing at 39.35 yards per play and 38th in pass defense at 212.75 yards per game ... EMU was strong inside the redzone, scoring on 83 percent of trips inside the 20 ... Eastern scored touchdowns 55 percent of the time when inside their opponents’ 20.

NO CUPCAKES: Playing football in the Mid-American Conference leaves little room for error. Just ask EMU Head Coach Ron English. EMU’s strength of schedule in 2012 was the hardest in the Mid-American Confer-ence and 29th nationally according to the NCAA. EMU’s 2012 opponents had a combined record of 64-50 with nine opponents appearing in bowl games and Illinois State advancing to the NCAA FCS playoffs.

ENGlISH TO TAKE OVER DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR ROlE: Head Coach Ron English will also assume the role as the team’s defensive coordinator in addition to also helping coach the safeties and special teams. He joins a select group of Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Head Coaches that also serve the coordinator role. That group includes West Virginia’s Dana Holgorsen, Georgia Tech’s Paul Johnson, Southern Meth-odist’s June Jones, Washington State’s Mike Leach, San Diego State’s Rocky Long, BYU’s Bronco Mendenhall and Penn State’s Bill O’Brien.

SEVEN OPPONENTS PlAYED IN BOWl GAMES lAST YEAR: Seven of the Eagles’ 2013 opponents appeared in bowl games in 2012. Central Michigan won the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl with a 24-21 thriller over Western Kentucky; Ohio captured a 45-14 win over Louisiana-Monroe in the Independence Bowl. Meanwhile, Ball State lost to UCF, 38-17, in the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl, Bowling Green fell to San Jose State, 29-20, in the Military Bowl, Rutgers came up short against Virginia Tech, 13-10, in the Russell Athletic Bowl, Toledo lost to Utah State, 41-15, in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and Northern Illinois dropped a 31-10 decision to Florida State in the Orange Bowl.

BRONSON HIll BURSTS ON TO THE NATIONAl SCENE: Running back Bronson Hill proved to be EMU’s big-play threat last fall. Hill carried just seven times in the first five games but took over as primary ballcarrier against Toledo, Oct. 13. In five games after sliding in that role, Hill carried 105 times for 724 yards. He gained just 106 yards in 28 carries in EMU’s last two games, but he left his mark in October and early November. Of the 114 FBS players with at least 140 carries in 2012, only 12 man-aged to average 7.0 highlight yards per carry, and only seven of those 12 were running backs: Arizona’s Ka’Deem Carey, Oklahoma’s Damien Williams, Kent State’s Dri Archer, UCF’s Latavius Murray, Utah State’s Kerwynn Williams, Houston’s Charles Sims and Hill.



2013 Preseason NotebookEMU DEFENSE TIGHTENS IN RED ZONE: The Eagle defense held its op-ponents to just 83 percent on their trips to the red zone. EMU’s defense allowed its opponents to enter the red zone on 53 drives, but gave up just 29 touchdowns and 15 field goals. EMU ranked 70th nationally in red zone defense.

YOUTH MOVEMENT: Eastern Michigan played 11 “true” freshmen dur-ing the 2012 campaign. That amount was tied for 18th most nationally and third most in the Mid-American Conference. Texas and TCU led the way with 16 first-year players having seen game action. Meanwhile, Ak-ron was tops in the MAC with 13 freshmen and Miami was next with 12. DYlAN MUlDER NAMED TO lOU GROZA AWARD WATCH lIST: Dylan Mulder is among the outstanding kickers who headline the 30-player Watch List for the 2013 Lou Groza College Place-Kicker Award, presented by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. As a “true freshman” Mulder finished the year with the sixth highest field goal percentage of any Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) kicker with at least 10 attempts. He posted three double-digit scoring games, in-cluding a 3-for-3 performance in EMU’s 29-23 win over Western Michi-gan. Mulder appeared in 10 games for the Green and White, making 10 out of his attempted 11 field goals for the season, three of which were be-yond the 40 yard line. He also connected on 24 out of his 27 attempted PATs and was the team leader in points scored with 54. Named MAC West Division Special Teams Player of the Week for the period ending Nov. 19, Mulder booted a career-high three field goals, including a ca-reer-long 43-yard kick, in the win at WMU, Nov. 17. He also tallied 18 points in the victory over Army, Oct. 20, nailing two field goals as well as six PATs. He becomes the first Eagle named to the list since Andrew Wellock made the list four times in his career. Wellock was selected as an Associ-ated Press Third Team All-American after an outstanding 2004 season that saw him finish runner-up for the 2004 Lou Groza Award. He also made the Lou Groza Watch List in his other three seasons, chosen as a semifinalist in 2003, 2005 and 2006. Kickers on the Lou Groza Award Watch List were chosen based on sta-tistics from the 2012 season and 2013 expectations. Ten conferences are represented among the 30 kickers, led by four each from the ACC, Big Ten, Conference USA and the Mid-American Conference, while the Mountain West placed three representatives.

EAGlES PlAN TO lEARN FROM 2012: The 2012 football season brought plenty of ups and downs for Eastern Michigan University. The Eagles, who finished the season with a 2-10 overall mark and a 1-7 re-cord in Mid-American Conference play, had plenty of expectations en-tering the year, but injuries and inexperience dampened the squad’s potential. Eastern Michigan, which retained the Michigan MAC trophy following a 29-23 victory over Western Michigan, Nov. 17, finished nationally in the top-75 in five statistical categories to go along with a pair of top five rankings in the MAC standings. Offensively, Eastern Michigan rushed for 1,960 yards and 13 touch-downs on 448 carries for the 61st-best ground attack in the nation. The Eagles have now rushed for more than 1,900 yards in each of the past three seasons. Defensively, EMU ranked 38th nationally and third in the MAC in pass defense. The Eagles gave up just 212.75 yards per game. Additionally, the team ranked 21st nationally in net punting with an average of 39.35 yards per kick. For their season-long efforts, nine players were selected for College Football Weekly Performance Awards, four took home All-MAC acco-lades, three Eagles earned MAC West Division Player of the Week honors and two student-athletes captured MAC Scholar Athlete of the Week distinctions.

FOUR EAGlES GARNER All-MAC HONORS: Four members of the EMU football team were named to the All-Mid-American Conference teams, Nov. 28, announced by the league office. Senior punter Jay Karutz earned first-team honors, while senior tight end Garrett Hoskins, se-nior linebacker Justin Cudworth and senior defensive end Andy Mu-lumba were named to the second team.

NO CUPCAKES: Playing football in the Mid-American Conference leaves little room for error. Just ask EMU Head Coach Ron English. EMU’s strength of schedule in 2012 was the hardest in the Mid-American Confer-ence and 29th nationally according to the NCAA. EMU’s 2012 opponents had a combined record of 64-50 with nine opponents appearing in bowl games and Illinois State advancing to the NCAA FCS playoffs.

MICHIGAN MAC TROPHY BACK TO YPSIlANTI: With the 29-23 victory at Western Michigan, Nov. 17, EMU retained the Michigan MAC Trophy for the fourth time, the most out of any of the other competing schools. Created in 2005 by the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, the Eagles kept the trophy due to each team finishing with 1-1 records against each other.BEATING THE BRONCOS BACK-TO-BACK: EMU’s 29-23 defeat of West-ern Michigan, Nov. 17, marked the first time Eastern has won consecu-tive games against the Broncos since the Green and White rattled off three straight wins from 1989-1991.

POWER OF SEVEN: A total of 16 of EMU’s 48 games under Head Coach Ron English have been decided by seven points-or-less. The Eagles are 6-10 in those contests.

HOlDING ON TO THE PIGSKIN: The consensus concerning turnovers is that they are bad when you commit them and great when you get them. Through 12 games, the Eagles turned the football over 21 times (15 interceptions, six fumbles) while getting the ball back 16 times (sev-en interceptions, nine fumbles). In 2011, EMU was minus-four in turn-over-ratio (EMU 16, OPP 12).

EAGlES GET IT DONE NON-CONFERENCE STYlE: With a 48-38 triumph against Army, Oct. 21, the Eagles defeated a non-conference Football Subdivision (FBS) opponent for the first time since Sept. 10, 2005. That day, EMU rolled to a 31-10 home victory over Louisiana-Lafayette as Matt Bohnet racked up two passing touchdowns and a pair of rushing scores.

BEST OFFENSIVE SHOWING: The Eagles’ 624 yards of total offense against Toledo, Oct. 13, were the most in four seasons under Head Coach Ron English. The previous high was 501 yards (305 rush, 196 pass) versus Ball State, Nov. 5, 2011.

THROWING FOR 300: Redshirt sophomore quarterback Tyler Benz became the first Eagle in 42 games to throw for 300-or-more yards in a single-game, when he tossed for 301-yards against the University of Toledo, Oct. 13. He is the first to eclipse the 300-yard mark since Andy Schmitt hurled for 516 yards against Central Michigan University, Nov. 28, 2008.

THE 600-YARD ClUB: Eastern Michigan’s 624-yard outburst against Toledo, Oct. 13, was good for the third-best total offensive effort by an EMU team in program history and second best against an FBS oppo-nent. The Green and White piled up 637 yards against FCS foe Indiana State, Aug. 28, 2008, and 632 yards against Mid-American Conference rival Akron, Oct. 18, 1997. Not only did the Eagles post a 600-plus yard showing against the Sycamores in 2008, they also did it against Central Michigan University, Nov. 28, with a 616-yard performance. EMU has only put together a game with more than 600 yards four times in its history.



E-Gridiron Group Golf Outing

June 8, 2013 • Eagle Crest Golf Club in YpsilantiThe E-Gridiron Group was formed in the spring of 2006 with its early focus set on building a leadership level of fund-raising support for EMU foot-ball. During the past seven years the E-Gridiron Group has helped to raise more than $750,000. This is the largest amount of actual gifts received to date for a non-facility related project by a single group in EMU Athletics history. Those contributions have helped provide the football program with numerous upgrades and is leveling the playing field not only within the Mid-American Conference, but also across the country.



EMU’s Uniforms Combinations

The Eagles have three jersey colors (green, white and gray) to choose from, as well as three different colors of pants (green, white and gray) and three different colored helmets (traditional

green, white and gray) to choose from. All told, Eastern Michigan will have more than 20 different uniform combinations (jersey/pant/helmet/socks) at its disposal this season.

EMU

Did You Know?

One of the cornerstones of the Eastern Michigan University athletic program, Dr. Lloyd W. Olds, is the man responsible for the invention of the striped referee shirt used today. Olds was a member of EMU’s faculty for 42 years and was a coach, athletic director and head of intramurals. While an undergraduate student in 1914, Olds began refereeing high school basketball games. “The referee often looked very much like a player,” Olds said, “so the lads often threw the ball to me or bounced it off my head. I had a knitting concern make up a special shirt for me. The shirt had broad black and white stripes. I took plenty of ribbing when I first appeared in it but the idea caught on among both basketball and football officials.” That striped shirt is now a universal symbol of the authority of game officials throughout the world. Olds retired from EMU after serving the institu-tion he loved for 42 years. He died in 1982. The Olds-Robb Student Recreation/Intramural Complex on the EMU campus is a fitting memorial to the man of stripes.

Two Eastern Michigan University defensive backs made their marks nationally with multiple interceptions. Free safety Bob Navarro tied for the NCAA Division I interceptions title in 1989 when he picked off 12 enemy aerials. Cornerback Richard Palmer also turned in an outstanding season in the defensive backfield in 1991 when he tied for sixth in interceptions in the Division I ranks with seven. Palmer also made his mark on the single-game side, as the last EMU player to record four interceptions in a game when he recorded that feat against Western Michigan, Oct. 19, 1991.

Ron English has prepared a lifetime to call a football program his own and he has not wasted any time in putting his stamp on Eastern Michigan University football. After serving as an assistant football coach at four of the nation’s top football schools, English was named the head football coach at Eastern Michigan Uni-versity, Dec. 22, 2008. “When we began this search for a new head football coach at Eastern Michigan University we wanted someone that we felt could take our program in a new di-rection,” former EMU Director of Athletics Dr. Derrick Gragg said at the press con-ference announcing English as Eastern’s new head football coach. “After going through an exhaustive search process we selected Ron English to lead our foot-ball program. He has proven himself as a tremendous defensive coordinator over a long career and we feel that he is pre-pared to take over our football team as a head coach.” That patience in learning the game at several stops has paid big dividends for the highly energetic English as he begins the task of rebuilding the EMU football program in all phases of the operation. Just minutes after finishing the press conference, the 44-year-old English was a on a mission to hire a staff, hit the road to

begin the task of signing his first recruit-ing class as a head coach and developing the blueprint for success. That dedication to detail in his early days reflects one of English’s strongest traits and is reflected in his theme for his first EMU season: Embrace the Process. After two years of laying the foundation, the 2011 campaign re-established the Eagles as a force to be reckoned with. The team finished the 2011 season with a 6-6 overall mark and a 4-4 record in Mid-American Conference play, snapping a 15-year streak of losing seasons. EMU finished nationally in the top 50 statisti-cally in seven categories to go along with eight top five rankings in the MAC stand-ings. English was named MAC Coach of the Year for his efforts. Offensively, the Green and White rushed for 2,620 yards and 16 touchdowns on 575 carries for the 14th-best ground attack in the nation. The total was the second most in program history trailing only the 1987 team that captured the MAC title by run-ning the ball 610 times for a total of 2,701 yards. It marked just the second time in school history that the Eagles rushed for more than 2,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. Defensively, EMU ranked 34th na-tionally and third in the MAC in to-tal defense. The Eagles gave up just 350.33 yards per game, an improve-ment of 103.8 yards per contest. Ad-ditionally, the team averaged nearly six tackles for loss per game, the squad’s highest total since 2001 when they had 82. English accepted the challenge of developing a winning atmo-sphere at EMU after spending the previous 15 years learning the college football trade at the University of Louisville, the University of Michigan, Arizona State University and San Diego State University.

English spent the 2008 season as an assistant football coach at Louisville and just prior to that was a member of the University of Michigan football staff from 2003-07 where he coached the defen-sive backs for his first three seasons and served as the football program’s defen-sive coordinator in his final two seasons under legendary Head Coach Lloyd Carr. In 2007 English oversaw an aggressive Michigan defense that was the nation’s eighth-ranked pass defense and 17th in pass efficiency defense. The Wolverines were also 23rd in scoring defense and 24th in total defense. English was named Rivals.com National Defensive Coordinator of the Year during his initial season as the defensive signal caller at Michigan in 2006. That Wolver-

ine defense rated among the nation’s best, finishing first against the run, fourth in sacks, seventh in third-down defense, 10th in total defense and 15th in scoring defense. The U-of-M defensive secondary col-lected 36 interceptions during his three seasons overseeing the entire corps and turned four of those picks into touch-downs. In addition, the Wolverines yield-ed just 37 touchdown passes by the op-position during that time, including an NCAA-leading nine in 2003. English became the first coach in NCAA history to have two defensive backs earn consensus All-America honors in the same season, since the organization be-gan incorporating both an offensive and defensive team in 1965, as cornerback Marlin Jackson and safety Ernest Shazor earned the recognition following the 2004 season. During his tenure on the Michigan staff he coached an All-Big Ten defensive back in every season and had two All-Conference selections in four of his five seasons. English made an immediate impact on the Wolverine secondary during his first season as an assistant coach when U-M tied for the national lead in fewest touch-down passes yielded with nine, and fin-ished ninth in pass efficiency defense. The secondary collected 13 interceptions and returned two for scores. English began his collegiate coaching career as the defensive backs coach at Mt. San Antonio College (1993) in Wal-nut, Calif. after coaching for one season at Ganesha High School (1992), his alma mater, in Pomona, Calif.

English also tutored the secondary for two seasons at San Diego State (1996-97) and served as the outside linebackers coach at Northern Arizona for the 1996 spring practice. He then went on to spend five seasons (1998-2002) as an assistant football coach at Arizona State University. He coached the secondary all five years with the Sun Devils, the final two years with the cor-nerbacks and the previous three seasons mentoring the safeties. He helped ASU to three bowl appearances: the 1999 and 2000 Aloha and 2002 Holiday bowls. His first stint at ASU was as a graduate assis-tant coach handling the defensive line during the 1994-95 seasons. English was a four-year letterman (1987-90) and senior starter at safety for the University of California Golden Bears football squad. He also started on special teams all four seasons at California. Eng-lish finished his career with 134 tackles and seven sacks and participated in the 1990 Copper Bowl against Wyoming. His identical twin brother, Don, also played for the Golden Bears. A 1990 graduate of the University of California-Berkeley with a bachelor’s de-gree in social sciences, English earned his master’s degree in education administra-tion from Arizona State in 1995. English will be one of 13 African-Amer-ican head coaches in the 120-school NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision ranks in 2012. English and his wife, Sophia (Woodard) have three children; Simon (14), Sydney (9) and Seth (8).

Head Coach Ron English will also assume the role as the team’s defensive coordinator in addition to also helping coach the safe-ties and special teams in 2013. He joins a se-lect group of Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Head Coaches that also serve the coordina-tor role. That group includes West Virginia’s Dana Holgorsen, Georgia Tech’s Paul Johnson, Southern Methodist’s June Jones, Washington State’s Mike Leach, San Diego State’s Rocky Long, BYU’s Bronco Mendenhall and Penn State’s Bill O’Brien.

The 51-year-old Delgado began his collegiate coaching career as a gradu-ate assistant on the San Jose State staff in 1986-87. After those two seasons he became a full-time defensive line coach at San Jose State from 1988 through the 1992 season. He left San Jose to become the defen-sive line coach at the University of Utah for the 1993 season before moving on to San Diego State as an assistant coach in charge of the defensive line from 1994-

The next stop for Delgado was the Uni-versity of California-Berkley where he was an assistant coach in charge of the defensive line for six seasons, from 2002 through the 2007 season. From there he spent the two seasons at Louisville. During his coaching career, Delgado has been part of 10 post-season bowl games. San Jose State played in two California Bowls while he served as an intern, in 1986 and 1987, and the Spar-tans also played in the California Bowl in 1990.

Game 1 - Ball StateGame Day Statistics

MUNCIE, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) — The East-ern Michigan University football team could not stop the Cardinals’ run game on the open-ing night of the 2012 NCAA college football season, as the Eagles fell 37-26 at Ball State Uni-versity Thursday night, Aug. 30, in a Mid-Ameri-can Conference tilt at Scheumann Stadium. Senior quarterback Alex Gillett had three touchdown passes, and added one rushing, to lead the way for Eastern as he connected with Donald Scott, Garrett Hoskins and Mitchell Dawkins through the air. Gillett finished the night 15-of-34 passing for 191 yards and added 81 in rushing yards to lead the Eagles on the ground. Javonti Greene contributed on the ground and through the air for the Eagles with 72 yards on nine carries, and added another 51 yards receiving. Unanswered points were the story of the game Thursday night. With Ball State trailing, 13-10, late in the second half, the Cardinals scored 27 straight points, and outscored the Eagles, 24-13, in the second half. For Ball State, Jahwan Edwards was the story as he ran 20 times, for a career-high 200 yards and three touchdowns. Horactio Banks added a rushing touchdown of his own for the Cardi-nals. Keith Wenning was the game’s leading passer as he went 26-of-41 for 267 yards. Ja-mill Smith was the top target for Wenning, pull-ing in 7 receptions for 119 yards. The Cardinals combined for 596 yards of total offense, 267 passing and 329 rushing. Ball State opened the scoring on the 2012 season, taking the opening kickoff back to the BSU 20, the Cardinals used 10 plays to go 80 yards in 3:18, capping off the drive with an Ed-wards touchdown to take an early 7-0 lead. After the Eagles were forced into a turnover on downs in Ball State territory, the Cardinals added a 52-yard field goal before the end of the first quarter to extend the early lead to 10-0. Eastern began to move the ball in the second quarter when Gillett hooked up with Bronson Hill for 33 yards down the left sideline. An il-legal hit on a defenseless receiver added 15 yards to the play. The Eagles converted on their first trip to the red zone in 2012 as Gillett found a slanting Scott in the end zone for an eight yard touchdown pass. The extra point by Kody Fulkerson brought the Eagles within three at 10-7. Following back-to-back first down runs by Ball State, redshirt freshman Omar McFarlane forced a fumble that was jumped on by Mar-lon Pollard to give the ball back to the Eagles. Dominique Sherrer kept the drive alive on a fourth-and-two gain of five to move to the 23

yard line of Ball State. On the next play, Gillett found a fading Hoskins, who made a one-hand-ed grab in the back of the end zone to give EMU their first lead of the season at 13-10. A failed PAT would keep the the Eagles lead at three. Ball State would tie it up just before the half with a 30-yard field goal from Steven Schott. Ball State’s Edwards opened the second half of scoring, as he did the first, this time with a career-long 75-yard run to give the Cardinals back the lead, 20-13, after the PAT. Ball State then cashed in a third touchdown on the ground as Banks ran the final seven to finish off a nine-play, 97-yard drive and give the Cardinals a 27-13 lead with 7:03 remaining in the third. With eight seconds left in the third, Edwards rushed over right tackle from three yards out for his third touchdown of the game. The PAT made it a 34-13 Cardinal advantage. Ball State added a third field goal from Schott to extend the lead to 37-13 over the Eagles. Eastern snapped the 27-0 Ball State run on a seven-yard completion from Gillett to Dawkins to cut the deficit to 37-19, as the Eagles failed on the two-point conversion. The touchdown was the first of Dawkins’ career. The Eagles continued to cut into the Cardinal lead as Gillett rushed in from 16 yards out and a Fulkerson PAT made it 37-26 and closed out the scoring.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University football team saw its 2012 home opener spoiled by the Illinois State University Redbirds here in a non-conference game Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012, in Rynearson Stadium. The Eagles could not overcome three interceptions, two lost fumbles and nine penalties in the 31-14 loss. Illinois State on the other hand, had just one interception and one lost fumble while not getting called for any penalties in the contest. The setback makes Eastern 0-2 on the young season while ISU improves to 2-0. The Illinois State defense held the EMU offense to just 103 yards on 32 rushes, while the Redbirds gained 216 yards on the ground on 53 carries. Eastern’s passing offense was good for 145 yards and one score, and ISU had 155 yards and one touchdown through the air. Senior quarterback Alex Gillett (Green Springs, Ohio-Clyde) completed 11-of-25 passes for 145 yards and one touchdown. Gillett was also EMU’s leading rusher with 49 yards on 13 carries, including a five-yard touchdown run. EMU’s other touchdown came on a 32-yard strike from Gillett to senior tight end Garrett Hoskins (Grand Rapids-Cres-ton). EMU place-kicker Kody Fulkerson (Maysville, Ohio-Zanesville) booted both EMU PATs for the other points. The ISU offense was led by Brown who completed 14-of-22 passes for 155 yards with one score. Tailback Darrelynn Dunn rushed 32 times for a game-high 129 yards and two touchdowns. Illinois State took advantage of an EMU miscue early in the first quarter when the Eagles were flagged for a roughing the kicker personal foul. The Redbirds made that penalty hurt for the Eagles as tailback Jonathon Miller raced 58 yards for an ISU touchdown just three plays later. Nick Aussieker added the PAT for a 7-0 Illinois State lead with 7:10 re-maining in the first quarter. The visitors took advantage of a muffed punt by EMU at its own 41-yard line and

increased their lead to 10-0 with 1:19 left in the first quarter on a 26-yard field goal by Aussieker. EMU managed to cut the deficit to three, 10-7, on a 32-yard pass reception by Hosk-ins on a throw from Gillett.

The visitors increased their lead to 24-14 on their next offensive possession with Dunn bursting through the middle of the line for a four-yard touchdown run with 6:53 left in the third. Aussieker added the PAT. Illinois State closed out the game’s scor-ing on another four-yard touchdown run by Dunn with Aussieker adding the PAT for a 31-14 Redbird lead with 1:08 left in the game.

Game Day StatisticsValiant Effort Comes Up Short as MSU Top EMUEastern Michigan falls to 0-4 in 2012 after tough defeat to in-state foe

EAST LANSING, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — For more than three quarters, the East-ern Michigan University football team was in perfect position to stun Michigan State University and pull off one of the biggest upsets in Spartan Stadium history. EMU held a 7-3 advantage heading into the locker room at the half against No. 20/21 ranked MSU Saturday, Sept. 22, here at Spartan Stadium. But in the end it was the Spartans pushing in a pair of late scores to seal the 23-7 decision. Eastern Michigan’s losing skid against the Big Ten Conference nearly came to an end, but despite the valiant effort the Eagles drop to 0-4 on the young season. Meanwhile, the Spartans improved their mark to 3-1 on the year and 9-0 all-time versus Eastern. Getting his first career start, redshirt sophomore quarterback Tyler Benz (Park Ridge, Ill.-Maine Township South) led the Eagles offensively, going 13-for-26 for 137 yards via the air and a score. Tight end Garrett Hoskins (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Creston) was the Eagles’ leading receiver on the afternoon with a career-best eight catches for 102 yards. Javonti Greene (West Palm, Fla.-Royal Palm) led the Eagles’ rushing attack with 10 carries for 31 yards while Benz added five rushes for 12 yards. Defensively, Don-ald Coleman (Detroit, Mich.-NC State) led EMU with 19 stops. For Michigan State, Le’Veon Bell carried the ball 36 times for 253 yards and a touch-down. Quarterback Andrew Maxwell ran the ball two times for 10 yards while going 16-for-26 for 159 yards via the air. Following a scoreless first quarter, Michi-gan State opened the scoring almost five minutes into the second quarter, as Spar-tans’ kicker Dan Conroy converted on a 36-yard field goal to cap off a 12 play, 74 yard drive. A Michigan State fumble forced by Mar-cell Rose (Orlando, Fla.-Cypress Creek) and recovered by Justin Cudworth (Mon-te Nido, Calif.-Agoura-College of the Canyons) set up the first touchdown of the game late in the second quarter for the Eagles.

With 4:04 remaining in the second quar-ter, Benz needed just one play to go 23 yards, completing his first career touch-down pass to a leaping Donald Scott (Apopka, Fla.-Apopka). Freshman place-kicker Dylan Mulder (Saline, Mich.-Sa-line) tacked on the extra point to give the Eagles a 7-3 advantage, which they took into the lockerroom at the intermission. Michigan State promptly sliced into that 7-3 halftime deficit with a 44-yard field goal on its first possession of the second half. After another stalled drive, the Spartans would again have to settle for a 35-yard field goal from Conroy with 1:11 left in the third quarter. With the kick, MSU regained the lead at 9-7. The Eagles defense played strong in the first half against the Spartans, as EMU held MSU to only 151 total yards of offense, 117 of which were picked up by Bell on the ground. Following the two second-half MSU field goals, the Spartans converted two fourth quarter touchdowns to put the game out of reach.

Game Day StatisticsEagles Fall to Golden Flashes in Homecoming TiltKent State uses big plays to post 41-14 victory

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — A visiting Kent State University football team spoiled Eastern Michigan University’s Home-coming Game here Saturday afternoon, Oct. 6, in Rynearson Stadium, posting a 41-14 win. The setback leaves EMU with an 0-5 overall record and an 0-2 MAC mark. Kent State improves to 4-1 overall and 3-0 in MAC action. The visitors held a 17-7 halftime lead and broke the game open in the early stages of the third quarter on a series of big-play ef-forts. Wide receiver and return specialist Dri Ar-cher raced 98 yards for a touchdown on the Eagles’ kickoff to start the second half to make it 24-7. After stopping Eastern on its next offen-sive possession, the Golden Flashes used a 22-yard run on a fake punt to set up a 2-yard touchdown run by Trayion Durham with 9:46 left in the third quarter. Freddy Cortez’ fourth PAT kick of the game gave Kent a 31-7 lead. Another Archer big play, this time a 64-yard run from scrimmage with 3:07 left in the third, allowed the Golden Flashes to build up a 38-7 advantage. A 20-yard Cortez field goal made it 41-7 with 9:52 left in the game. The Eagles would get on the board again with 7:30 left on a 25-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Benz (Park Ridge, Ill.-Maine Township South) to sophomore Demarius Reed (Chicago, Ill.-Simeon Academy) with 7:30 remaining. Dylan Mulder (Saline, Mich.-Saline) added the PAT. EMU was led by sophomore running back Bronson Hill (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Catho-lic Central) who gained 70 yards on four car-ries with one touchdown. EMU redshirt sophomore quarterback Benz completed just 9-of-17 passes for 93 yards and a score. Archie and Durham were the main offen-sive weapons for Kent State. Archer ran eight times for 72 yards and one touchdown, re-turned a kickoff for 98 yards and a score and also had four receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown. Durham gained 116 yards on 24 carries and scored two touchdowns. The visitors opened the scoring on a 42-yard field goal by Cortez at the 5:57 mark of the first quarter.

The Golden Flashes made it 10-0 with 11:41 left in the second quarter on a 5-yard pass from quarterback Spencer Keith to Archer. Eastern cut that deficit to 10-7 with 6:24 left in the second quarter when Hill bounced off the left side of the Kent State defense and raced 68 yards for a touchdown. Mulder added the PAT. That run by Hill was the longest offensive play from scrimmage this year for the Eagles and was also the longest since Dominique White went 64 yards for a score against Cen-tral Michigan, Oct. 15, 2011. Kent State would move its lead back to 10, 17-7, at the 3:26 mark of the second quarter when Durham bulled his way four yards for a touchdown with Cortez adding the PAT. That score would hold up into halftime. The Golden Flashes improved to 24-7 on Archer’s 98-yard kickoff return. That kickoff return by Archer was the lon-gest in Rynearson Stadium history, breaking Miami’s Tremayne Banks’ mark of 94 yards set Oct. 12, 1996. Kent upped its lead to 31-7 on Durham’s run and made it 38-7 on Archer’s 64-yarder. Cortez would bang home a 20-yard field goal with 9:52 left in the contest for the final Kent points. Reed’s 25-yard touchdown reception for the Eagles would make the final Kent State 41, EMU 14.

Game Day StatisticsEagles Fall to Rockets in MAC West Division ShootoutEastern Michigan and Toledo combine for 1,279 total offensive yards

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University and the University of Toledo turned on the of-fensive fireworks here Saturday, Oct. 13, on a cold and rainy day in Rynearson Stadium. By the time the last play was run the visiting Rockets had posted a 52-47 Mid-American Con-ference West Division football victory. Trailing by a 52-40 score, the Eagles cut the deficit to five, 52-47, with 1:57 left on a 7-yard touchdown run by sophomore tailback Bronson Hill (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Catholic Central). Eastern stopped the Rockets on their next possession and the Eagles had one last offensive series to notch the win, but the game ended on a long desperation pass by Tyler Benz (Park Ridge, Ill.-Maine Township South) that was knocked down by the Toledo defense as time expired. Toledo entered the West Division battle with a perfect 3-0 league record and a 5-1 overall mark and now improve to 6-1 and 4-0. The loss drops EMU to 0-6 overall and 0-3 in league play. The two teams combined for a whopping eight touch-downs in the third quarter alone, four by each team. East-ern rolled up 624 total offensive yards in the game while Toledo posted 655 total offensive yards. The loss spoiled one of the all-time great offensive games by EMU as a team, as well as sophomore tailback Hill. Hill, getting his first starting nod of the season, turned in the best rushing performance in the nation this year with 283 yards gained on 28 rushes to go along with an EMU record-tying four touchdown runs. His rushing effort is the second-best in school history, trailing only Larry Radcliff’s 291 rushing yards, Oct. 16, 1971, at home against Eastern Kentucky. Hill’s four touchdowns is the 13th time that an EMU player has scored four touchdowns in a game. Toledo’s Bernard Reedy also turned in an outstanding offensive show, catching 11 passes for 237 yards and two scores while also returning six kickoffs for 170 yards and a score. EMU quarterback Benz completed 18-of-27 passes for 301 yards and two touchdowns and tight end Garrett Hoskins (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Creston) hauled in seven catches for 103 yards. Toledo quarterback Terrance Owens completed 21-of-32 passes for 401 yards and three touchdowns and tailback David Fluellen carried 24 times for 188 yards and two scores. Toledo got on the scoreboard early, taking advantage of an interception by linebacker Dan Molls on EMU’s first of-fensive play of the game. The Rockets made that miscue sting, scoring five plays later on a four-yard touchdown run by Owens. Jeremiah Detmer added the PAT for a quick 7-0 lead at the 13:02 mark of the first quarter. Eastern came right back to score its initial first-quarter points of the season on a 31-yard field goal by Dylan Mul-der (Saline, Mich.-Saline) at the 9:10 mark. That score was set up by an interception from EMU cornerback Marcell Rose (Orlando, Fla.-Cypress Creek). The Eagles then went up 10-7 with 4:49 left in the first quarter on a 10-yard scoring pass from Benz to tight end Tyreese Russell (Melrose Park, Ill.-Walther Lutheran) with Mulder adding the PAT boot. After stopping the Eagles’ offense on a fourth-and-three play on the Toledo 38-yard line, the Rockets used just two plays to go on top, 14-10, in a career-long 53-yard Fluellen touchdown run. Detmer added the PAT with 10:07 left in the second quarter. The Rockets closed out the first-half scoring on a 6-yard run by Fluellen and Detmer added the PAT for a 21-10 To-ledo advantage. After turning back Toledo on the first offensive posses-sion of the second half, the Eagles responded with a 80-yard scoring drive, capped off by a career-long 47 yard

touchdown run by Hill. Mulder added the PAT and with 10:18 left in the third quarter it was Toledo 21, EMU 17. That joy would be short lived, however, as Toledo’s Reedy returned the ensuing kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown with Detmer adding the PAT for a 28-17 Toledo lead with 10:06 left in the third. Eastern’s Hill would top his previous long touchdown run with a second score of 58 yards on EMU’s next offensive se-ries. Mulder added the PAT as EMU cut the deficit to four, 28-24, with 8:59 left in the third. Toledo would continue to play ‘can you top this’ with Reedy hauling in an Owens throw for a 65-yard touchdown pass with Detmer adding the PAT for a 35-24 Toledo lead with 8:46 in the third. Eastern would top that with Hill once again recording a personal-best 70-yard touchdown run at the 8:27 mark of the third. Mulder would miss the PAT to cut Toledo’s lead to five, 35-30. Toledo continued with the offensive fireworks, going up 42-30 just 1:32 later when Owens found a wide open Alon-zo Russell for a 60-yard touchdown pass at the 6:55 mark of the third. That six-touchdown effort by the two teams to start the third quarter were tallied in just three minutes and 23 sec-onds. Eastern would make it seven scores in just 6:46 when Benz connected with Russell for a 41-yard touchdown pass with Mulder adding the PAT to make it Toledo 42, EMU 37, with 3:32 left in the third quarter. Toledo would continue the offensive onslaught with Reedy hauling in a 59-yard pass from Owens with 1:36 left in the third. Detmer added the PAT for a 49-37 Toledo lead. A 41-yard Mulder field goal with 12:15 left in the fourth quarter cut the Toledo lead to nine, 49-40. The Rockets would go up by 12, 52-40, with 4:47 left in the game on a 22-yard field goal by Detmer. Hill closed out the scoring on a 7-yard run with Mulder adding the PAT with 1:57 left to cut Toledo’s lead to five, 52-47. The Eagles, needing a touchdown to win, tried an onside kick that was recovered by the Rockets. Eastern stopped the Rockets on their next possession and the Eagles had one last offensive series to notch the win, but the game ended on a long desperation pass by Benz that was knocked down by the Toledo defense.

Game Day StatisticsEMU Offense Rolls in 48-38 win over Army Redshirt sophomore QB Tyler Benz throws for five touchdowns

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — A high-powered Eastern Michigan University offense led the Eagles to a 48-38 non-conference football win over a visiting Army team here Saturday, Oct. 20, on Band Day in Rynearson Stadium. For the Eagles it was their first win of the season against six losses while also their first over a non-conference NCAA FBS school since a 31-10 win over Louisiana-Lafayette, Sept. 10, 2005. EMU piled up 577 yards in total offense, 369 though the air and 208 on the ground. EMU redshirt sophomore quarterback Tyler Benz (Park Ridge, Ill.-Maine Township South) threw for five touchdowns to tie for second in the EMU single-game record book with Andy Schmitt and his 369 passing yards is the 18th best in school history. Benz completed 19-of-31 passes. EMU sophomore running back Bronson Hill (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Catholic Central) rushed for 185 yards on 26 carries with one touchdown while senior tight end Garrett Hoskins (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Creston) hauled in seven passes for 158 yard and a score. Army, now 1-6 overall, was led by quarterback Trent Steelman who rushed 16 times for 212 yards with two touchdowns. Army recorded 478 yards in total offense. The EMU offense exploded for two quick scores to post a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, both on touchdown throws from Benz. The first touchdown of the game came on EMU’s first possession with Javonti Greene (West Palm Beach, Fla.-Royal Palm Beach) hauling in a 39-yard strike from Benz. Dylan Mulder (Saline, Mich.-Saline) added the PAT kick with 13:34 showing on the clock. Eastern added seven more points at the 9:30 mark of the first when Benz connected with Hoskins for a one-yard reception with Mulder adding the PAT. Army then came back with 10 unanswered points of its own, the first a 42-yard field goal by Daniel Grochowski with 5:44 left in the first quarter followed by a 55-yared run by Malcolm Brown with just 58 ticks left in the first quarter. Grochowski added the PAT kick. The Eagles halted that Army run, with Hill snatching a 41-yard touchdown pass from Benz with 11:33 left in the second quarter. Not to be denied, Steelman used a great fake to race 73 yards for right tackle for a touchdown run to cut the EMU lead to 21-17, with 10:49 remain-ing in the second quarter. The Army defense then came up with a big play to halt a potential EMU score, picking off a Benz pass on their own one-yard line and returning it 65 yards to the EMU 34. The EMU defense then had a big play of its own, with safety Alex Bellfy (Brooklyn, Mich.-

Jackson Lumen Christi) recovering a Steelman fumble caused by Mycal Swaim (Chico, Calif.-Pleasant Valley-Butte C.C.) on the Eastern sev-en-yard line. Benz made up for his own red-zone mistake, di-recting an offensive drive of 93 yards in 11 plays, culminating on a one-yard touchdown pass from Benz to tight end Christian Menet (Reading, Pa.-Exeter Township) on a fourth-and-goal call with just 13 seconds remaining in the first half. Mulder’s PAT kick made it 28-17 at the half. The Eagles opened the third-quarter scoring on a 34-yard field goal by Mulder at the 5:45 mark for a 31-17 EMU advantage. The Black Knights responded just 11 seconds later on a 75-yard Steelman run from scrimmage for a touchdown. Grochowski’s PAT kick cut EMU’s lead to seven, 31-24. Eastern answered that touchdown with one of its own, this time on an 11-yard pass from Benz to Ryan Brumfield (Chester Springs, Pa.-Owen J. Robert) at the 14:21 mark of the fourth quar-ter. Mulder’s PAT kick made it EMU 38, Army 24. The Eagles’ Hill raced 42 yards for another touchdown with 11:59 and Mulder’s PAT kick gave the home squad a 45-24 lead. Army would cut the deficit to 14, 45-31, with 7:18 left in the game on a nine-yard Trenton Tur-rentine run. Eastern closed out its scoring on a 23-yard Mul-der field goal with 4:26 remaining in the game. Army finished its scoring on a 35-yard pass from second-string quarterback A.J. Schurr to Anthony Stephens with just 2:10 left in the game. The visitors would then take advantage of an on-sides kick to get the ball back but EMU would stop that threat on four straight stops to finish the game with a 48-38 victory.

Game Day StatisticsEMU Unable To Get Offense Moving In Loss At BGSUMAC’s best defense makes life tough for Eagles on Saturday

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University football team could not get the offense moving on Saturday, Oct. 27, at Bowling Green State University as the Eagles fell to the Falcons, 24-3. The loss drops the Eagles to 1-7 on the season and 0-4 in Mid-American Conference play, while the Falcons become bowl eligible moving to 6-3 overall and 4-1 in the MAC. The Eagles offense that had been explo-sive over that past two weeks, putting up 1,201 yards against Toledo and Army, was held at bay by a stingy BG defense that came into this week with the best scor-ing, rushing, passing and total defense in the MAC, and only allowed the Eagles to gain 178 total yards of offense on the af-ternoon. The Eagles were led by sophomore quar-terback Tyler Benz (Park Ridge, Ill.-Main Township South) who went 11 of 24 for 114 yards, however had a fumble and an interception which led to seven BGSU points. Tight end Tyreese Russell (Chica-go, Ill.-Walther Lutheran) led the Eagles in receiving with two receptions for 50 yards, while Bronson Hill (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Catholic Central) led EMU on the ground with 57 yards on 13 carries. Ray Guy Award candidate Jay Karutz (North Ryde, New South Wales, Austra-lia-Holy Cross College) had eight punts on the day, averaging 39.1 yards per at-tempt. Defensively, Alex Bellfy (Brooklyn, Mich.-Lumen Christ) led the Eagles with 15 tackles alongside Andy Malumba (Montreal, Quebec, Canada-Vieux Mon-treal) who recorded two tackles for loss including a sack. Bowling Green opened the scoring up on the opening drive of the game with a bit of trickery, as a lateral from Matt Schilz to Jordan Hopgood turned into a long pass when Hopgood connected with the wide-open Shaun Joplin for a 53-yard touch-down strike. The Eagles answered on their second drive of the game as freshman Dylan Mul-der (Saline, Mich.-Saline) connected on a career long 42-yard field goal with 5:17

remaining in the first quarter to cut into the BGSU lead at 7-3. Unfortunately for the Eagles it would be the closest that they would get on the day as it was their only scoring drive of the game. Bowling Green built the lead up to 11 fol-lowing a 27-yard run outside the tackles and up the left sideline by Andre Givens to give the Falcons a 14-3 lead that they would take into the half. On the second Eagles possession of the second half, Benz fumbled when Gabe Martin came from the secondary and Chris Jones scooped it up from 23 yards out and ran it in for the touchdown to give the Fal-cons a 21-3 lead. With 12:01 remaining in the BG kicker Tyler Tate knocked a 28-yard field goal through the uprights to extend the BG lead to 24-3 to close out the scoring. The Falcons defense finished the game having not allowed a touchdown over the last nine quarters of play.

Game Day StatisticsEMU Falls on National Television to OhioEagles unable to get rolling in second half at Ohio

ATHENS, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University football team fell to Ohio University, 45-14, in a nationally televised Mid-American Conference contest Thursday, Nov. 1, here at Peden Stadium. The Eagles, which trailed by 10 points at the half, could not get the offense going in the second half in Athens. With the loss EMU drops to 1-8 overall and 0-5 in league play, while the Bobcats move to 8-1 on the year and 4-1 in MAC action. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Tyler Benz (Park Ridge, Ill.-Maine Township South) finished the game 9-of-21 passing for 138 yards and a touchdown for the Eagles. Meanwhile, sophomore tailback Ryan Brumfield (Chester Springs, Pa.-Owen J. Robert) had the best day of his young ca-reer with two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving, gaining 57 total yards of offense. Bron-son Hill (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Catholic Central) continued to shine in his breakout sophomore season, rushing 25 times for 111 yards. Ray Guy Award candidate Jay Karutz (North Ryde, New South Wales, Australia-Holy Cross College) had another exceptional evening, as he averaged 42.9 yards per punt, with one downed inside the five-yard line. For Ohio, Tyler Tettleton passed for 255 yards and three touchdowns, while the backfield duo of Ryan Boykin and Beau Blankenship ran for 128 yards and 72 yards respectively and each scoring a touchdown. Donte Foster caught seven passes for 164 yards and two scores for the previously-ranked Bobcats. Ohio gained 559 total yards compared to 302 for Eastern Michigan. EMU looked to open the scoring on the opening drive marching down to the 22-yard line of Ohio before the drive stalled. Dylan Mulder’s (Saline, Mich.-Saline) 39-yard attempt then banged off the left upright and was no good to keep the con-test score-less with 12 minutes still showing in the opening frame. On the ensuing possession, Ohio needed only six plays to go 78 yards as Blankenship punched it in on a second effort from two yards out to give OU the early 7-0 lead. After another lengthy EMU drive that came up empty, Cy Mauughmer (Glendale, Ariz.-Apache Junction-Glendale C.C.) knocked the ball away from Blankenship on the second play of Ohio’s drive. Alex Bellfy (Brooklyn, Mich.-Lumen Chirsti) was quick to recover the football to give the Eagles great starting position at the Ohio 28. Following three straight rushes, Benz found Brumfield underneath the linebackers and he was able to out run the defense for a 17-yard touch-down reception. Mulders PAT followed to even the score at 7-7 with 4:04 remaining in the first quarter. The score was the second receiving touchdown of Brumfield’s young career. Ohio’s Matt Weller opened the second quarter

scoring after a strong defensive stand by the Ea-gles. Weller’s 25-yard field goal capped the Bob-cats’ 18-play, seven minute long drive to make it 10-7 with 11:41 left on the clock. The Bobcats would expand it to a two-score game as Ohio’s Ryan Boykins went 57 yards to the EMU seven-yard line after Boykins slipped numer-ous missed tackles on third and long. On the next play, Tettleton rolled left before throwing back right to find Chase Cochran alone in the end zone for a 17-7 edge. With 2:08 remaining in the first half, Brumfield got his second touchdown of the game as he popped outside of tight end Garrett Hoskins’ (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Creston) block and went untouched into the end zone. Mulder added his second PAT to cut it to a 17-14 game. Following the second interception of Tettleton in 2012 by Devin Henderson (Northbrook, Ill.-Glenbrook South-Harper Junior College), who tipped the ball straight up at the line, an Eagle three-and-out gave OU the ball back with 55 sec-ond left in the half. Unphased, Ohio needed just seven plays and two timeouts to get a touchdown before half to put the Eagles down 24-14 heading into the half. Following the intermission either side was able to get much moving on offense. After a Karutz punt was downed at the Ohio one-yard line. The ‘Cats would need just four plays to cover the distance of the field as Tettleton hit a streaking Foster for a 79-yard touchdown recep-tion. Wellers’ point-after was true to make it 31-14 in favor of Ohio with 2:13 showing on the third quarter clock. Ohio’s Boykin and Daz Patterson put it away for the Bobcats tacking on two late touchdowns to go up 45-14.

Game Day StatisticsEastern Drops Close Encounter to Central, 34-31Chippewas down Eagles in rivalry game

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Senior quar-terback Alex Gillett (Green Springs, Ohio–Clyde) rushed for 162 yards and two touchdowns, threw for 77 yards (7-of-17) and one touchdown, while also catching two passes for 11 yards for the Eastern Michi-gan University football team, but it was not enough as Central Michigan University came away with a 34-31 victory Saturday afternoon, Nov. 10, at Rynearson Sta-dium. With the victory, Central Michigan improves to 4-6 (2-4 MAC) on the season. Eastern Michigan drops to 1-9 (0-6 MAC) with two games remaining in the 2012 season. Gillett rushed for 162 yards on the game to lead all rushers, while Jay Jones (Palm Coast, Fla.–Matan-zas) posted 61 receiving yards on four receptions and a touchdown. Bronson Hill (Grand Rapids, Mich.–Catholic Central) added 83 yards on the ground and Dominique Sherrer (Cincinnati, Ohio–Colerain) contributed 46 rushing yards in the loss. Gillett became the first EMU player to have a rush, a pass reception, and a pass attempt in the same game since Tyler Jones accomplished the feat Oct. 28, 2008 against Ball State. In the contest, Jones attempted one pass, had five rushes for 19 yards, and had 11 catches for 120 yards. CMU quarterback Ryan Radcliff threw for 284 yards (20-for-34) and two touchdowns, both to wide receiver Andrew Flory, in the victory for the Chippewas. The rival schools had opposing offensive attacks during the game as Central Michigan ran for 119 yards and threw for 284 yards while Eastern Michigan ran for 294 yards and threw for 120 yards. Andy Mulumba (Montreal, Que., Canada–Vieux Montreal) got the Eagle defense off to a great start, forcing a fumble on the first play from scrimmage to give the Eastern offense first-and-10 from the CMU 21-yard line. Two plays later, EMU quarterback Tyler Benz (Park Ridge, Ill.–Maine Township South) found tight end Tyreese Russell (Melrose Park, Ill.–Walther Lu-thern) for a 19-yard touchdown connection. Dylan Mulder ‘s (Saline, Mich.–Saline) PAT gave the Eagles a 7-0 lead just 59 seconds into the contest. On the second offensive drive of the game, Head Coach Ron English decided to go for it on 4th-and-1 at the CMU 44-yard line. Eagle running back Sherrer was hit at the line of scrimmage, but broke the tackle and stayed on his feet to rumble 22 yards down the sideline, keeping the drive alive. A personal foul pen-alty one play later seemed to have stalled the drive as EMU lined up for a 38-yard field goal. However, Gillett, the holder, took the snap and ran right up the gut for a 21-yard touchdown scamper to give the Eagles a 14-0 lead with 1:28 left in the first quarter. The fake field goal attempt capped-off an impressive 15-play, 88-yard drive that took 9:19 off of the clock. The next drive, EMU’s defense forced a three-and-out, but Benz gave the ball right back to Central, throwing an interception at the Eastern 42-yard line. During the drive, CMU quarterback Radcliff converted a huge fourth down completing a pass to Flory for 19 yards. Three plays later, the duo hooked up again for a 10-yard touchdown toss to put the Chippewas on the scoreboard. David Harman’s PAT was good, and the Eastern lead became 14-7 with 9:00 to play in the sec-ond quarter. With the CMU defense forcing Eastern to punt, the

Central offense marched down the field with the help of two pass completions for over 30 yards. Rad-cliff once again connected with Flory that would have been a two-yard touchdown pass; however, Flory was called for offensive pass interference. The Green and White defense kept CMU out of the end zone as Har-man kicked a 23-yard field goal with 16 seconds re-maining in the first half, and the Eagles took a 14-10 lead into the locker room. Coach English decided to mix things up as Gillett started at quarterback for the Eagles to open the sec-ond half. On the sixth play of the drive, the senior quar-terback ran for his second touchdown of the game, taking a designed draw 53 yards down the sideline to give the EMU a 21-10 lead with 12:27 left in the third quarter. Central Michigan countered with a 10-play, 65-yard drive finished off by an 11-yard touchdown run by Zurlon Tipton to make the score 21-17 EMU with 8:38 remaining in the third quarter.Gillett stayed in at quarterback, and the Chippewas took their first lead of the game five plays later when the senior was picked-off by Kavon Frazier who re-turned 49 yards for a touchdown to give CMU a 24-21 lead with 6:14 to go in the third quarter. Following an EMU three-and-out, Radcliff found Flo-ry for the duo’s second touchdown completion of the day as Central Michigan increased its lead to 31-21 at the 1:32 mark in the third quarter. The Eagle offense responded with a 10-play, 63-yard drive that led to a Mulder 30-yard field goal, with EMU cut the CMU lead to 31-24 with 13:14 remaining in the game. CMU return-fired with the help of a 43-yard hookup between Radcliff and Flory as Harman hit a field goal made it 34-24 with 10:31 left in the contest. After several exchanges, Gillett led the Eagles 82 yards down the field in only 1:10, throwing a 25-yard touchdown pass to Jones making it a 34-31 game with 1:37 to go in the game. However, EMU was unable to recover the onside kick as CMU ran the clock out to notch get its fourth win on the season.

EMU Retains Michigan MAC Trophy With 29-23 WinEagles defeat rival in consecutive seasons for first time since 1991

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Behind a career-high three field goals from Dylan Mulder (Saline, Mich.-Saline) and 142 total yards from Alex Gillett (Green Springs, Ohio-Clyde), the Eastern Michigan University football team retained the Michigan MAC trophy by downing Western Michigan, 29-23, Saturday afternoon, Nov. 17, at Waldo Sta-dium. Gillett ran nine times for 60 yards, caught five passes for 45 yards that included a touchdown grab, and threw a 37-yard pass to lead the Eagles to victory. Tyler Benz (Park Ridge, Ill.-Maine Township South) was 13-21 for 137 yards and two touchdowns through the air, and Bronson Hill (Grand Rap-ids, Mich.-Catholic Central) rushed 17 times for 77 yards. Despite losing the offensive yardage battle 369-443 and giving up 328 passing yards, the EMU defense battled all af-ternoon to force three WMU field goals and two WMU turn-overs in Eastern territory. The Green and White picked up its first MAC victory of the season, moving to 1-6 in conference play and 2-9 overall. With the loss, Western Michigan ends its season at 4-8 (2-6 MAC). With the victory, EMU defeated WMU in consecutive sea-sons for the first time since the Eagles rattled off three straight victories against the Broncos from 1989-1991. Due to Eastern, Central, and Western all going 1-1 against each other this season, EMU retains the Michigan MAC Trophy for at least another year, the fourth time to be exact which is more than any other school. By defeating both Central Michi-gan and Western Michigan last season, the Eagles claimed the Michigan MAC Trophy for football. EMU started off the contest with great field position after Tyler Allen (Lansing, Mich.-Eastern) took the opening kick-off to the EMU 47-yard line. Three straight penalties opened the contest with an Eastern delay-of-game penalty followed by two offside penalties on Western, putting the Eagles in Bronco territory. Benz took advantage of the field position by converting two crucial third downs before it was capped off by a Dominique Sherrer (Cincinnati, Ohio-Colerain) three-yard touchdown run. The 11-play, 53-yard opening drive put the Eagles up 7-0 with 9:22 remaining in the first quarter. Western Michigan responded by marching quickly down the field going 50 yards in six plays. However, with the Broncos on the EMU 22-yard line, defensive tackle Travis Linser (Glen-dale, Ariz.-Phoenix NW Christian) forced WMU quarterback Alex Carder to fumble, and free safety Alex Bellfy (Brooklyn, Mich.-Lumen Christi) came up with the recovery. Following the WMU turnover and a short loss on first down, the Eastern continued to shine as Gillett took a quarterback draw 42 yards down the field. The following play, Benz found Hill for a 19-yard pass completion setting up first-and-goal from the 4-yard line. After WMU held strong on two rush-ing plays, Benz dropped back to pass, finding Donald Scott (Apoka, Fla.-Apoka) in the middle of the end zone for a five-yard touchdown pass and reception. The offense marched 64 yards in only six plays to put the Eagles up 14-0 with 3:46 remaining in the opening quarter. WMU countered the EMU scoring drive with one of its own as the Broncos drove 65 yards in 10 plays taking only 3:51 off of the game clock. On the first play of the second quar-ter, Carder found WMU wide receiver Blake Hammond in the corner of the end zone from one yard out to make it a 14-7 ballgame in favor of the Green and White. The Eastern Michigan offense looked efficient once again as a 13-play, 75-yard drive led to a Mulder 22-yard field goal to increased the EMU lead to 10 points, 17-7 with 8:21 remaining in the first half. After the EMU defense forced Western Michigan to punt, the Eastern offense stalled as well. On fourth-and-four from their own 25 yard-line, the Eagles lined up to punt; however, the special teams changed the formation as Sherrer took a direct snap to fake the punt. The Broncos were not fooled as Sherrer was stopped for no gain, giving WMU great field posi-tion at the EMU 25-yard line. The very next play, Carder found receiver Justin Collins on a 25-yard hook-up to make it a 17-14 game with 2:48 to go in the second quarter. Following punts by both teams, the Green and White headed to the locker

room with a 17-14 advantage. WMU opened the second half with the ball, driving 46 yards in six plays leading to a 37-yard field goal from Andrew Halde-man. With the Eastern defense holding the Broncos to three points, the game saw its first tie at 17-17 with 13:11 to go in the third quarter. On the Eagles’ first offensive play of the second half, Hill rumbled 24 yards into Western territory to the 44-yard line. Seven plays later, Mulder kicked a career-long 43-yard field goal, his second of the afternoon, to give the lead back to the Green and White at the 9:06 mark in the third quarter. With the Eastern Michigan defense holding strong and forcing another Broncos punt, the EMU offense drove down the field again. During the drive, Gillett took a snap and com-pleted a pass to Hill down the sideline for 37 yards, setting up first-and-goal from the WMU 9-yard line. Facing third-and-goal, Gillett was on the receiving end of a touchdown pass from Benz, the first touchdown reception of the senior’s ca-reer, with 1:55 remaining in the third quarter. However, Mul-der missed the extra point to keep the score at 26-17. On the next WMU drive, Marcell Rose (Orlando, Fla.-Cypress Creek) intercepted Carder at the EMU 28-yard line to give the Eagles the ball back and retain a nine point lead heading into the final 15 minutes of the game. Eastern was forced to punt, giving the ball back to Western. Carder marched his team down the field and, on third-and-goal from the EMU 8-yard line, appeared to have connected on a touchdown pass to Antoin Scriven. However, replays showed that Scriven was down short of the goal line, and the Broncos settled for a 19-yard field goal to make the score 26-20 in favor of Eastern Michigan with 7:59 remaining in the contest. Looking to hold on to the lead, the EMU offense succeeded, setting up Mulder for a 34-yard field goal with only 2:33 re-maining in the game. The nine-play, 52-yard drive drained 5:26 off of the clock, and the three points made it a two pos-session ballgame 29-20. Western Michigan did not give up as the Broncos quickly worked their way into the EMU red zone in just over one minute on the game clock. Nonetheless, the Eastern defense forced WMU to settle for yet another field goal. Haldeman’s 28-yard field goal, his third of the day, made the score 29-23 with just 49 seconds remaining. With such little time remaining and only one timeout left, Western Michigan attempted an onside kick. EMU sent out its hands team who completed the job recovering the football. Two plays later from victory formation, the clock ran out to give the Green and White a 29-23 victory.

EMU Football Falls in Season Finale, 49-7Eagles finish 2012 season with 2-10 record

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University football team ended its 2012 campaign with a 49-7 loss to Northern Illinois University Friday afternoon, Nov. 23, at Rynearson Stadium. The Green and White finish the season with a 2-10 (1-7 MAC) record. Before playing in their final game as a member of the EMU football team, 20 seniors were honored in a ceremony prior to the start of the game. Behind 42 unanswered points and a career-high four rushing touchdowns for Akeem Dan-iels, NIU (11-1, 8-0 MAC) won its 11th straight game of the season. The Huskies, champions of the MAC West Division, will now head to Detroit, Mich. for a second-straight MAC Cham-pionship, Nov. 30, to square off with the Kent State Golden Flashes. Daniels finished with 12 carries for 112 yards, finding the end zone on four of those carries. NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch ran for 107 yards while completing 16-of-25 passes for 168 yard and one touchdown. Martel Moore who had nine catches in the game for 116 yards. In the loss, Eastern quarterback Tyler Benz (Park Ridge, Ill.-Maine Township South) was 10-of-22 for 96 yards through the air with one touchdown and one interception. His top tar-get was senior Alex Gillett (Green Springs, Ohio-Clyde), who caught four passes for 34 yards. Bronson Hill (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Catholic Central) led the rushing attack for the Eagles with 11 carries for 29 yards. For the game, the Huskies held a 415-227 ad-vantage in total yards with 242 coming on the ground. Northern Illinois notched the scoring column first as Daniels capped off a five-play, 53-yard drive with a 25-yard scamper up the middle to give the Huskies a 7-0 lead with 5:35 remaining in the first quarter. Eastern Michigan answered with a scoring drive of its own as Benz found senior Matt Boyd (Southfield, Mich.-Lathrup) on a 20-yard, play-action pass. The EMU offense kept the high-powered NIU offense off the field by going 82 yards in 11 plays that took 5:13 off of the clock. Dylan Mulder’s (Saline, Mich.-Saline) extra point tied it up at 7-7 with just 16 seconds to go in the first 15 minutes of play. The game did not stay tied for long. On the ensuing kickoff, Tommylee Lewis used his speed to go 93 yards down the sideline to pay dirt, giving his Huskies the lead back, 14-7. As the second quarter began, snow began to cover the entire field, making the playing conditions tougher. After forcing the Eagles

to punt, NIU increased its lead courtesy of a 20-yard Daniels touchdown run, his second touchdown of the afternoon, part of a 13-play, 80-yard drive. With 4:06 left in the first half, Northern Illinois took a 21-7 lead. On the next NIU drive, EMU appeared to have forced the Huskies to punt. However, an illegal substitution by Eastern gave Northern Illinois an automatic first down to keep the drive alive. Four plays later, NIU turned a fourth down conversion into a touchdown as Lynch found Moore, who caught the ball just past the first down marker before turning up-field 43 yards to the end zone. At halftime, the Eagles faced a 28-7 deficit. With NIU starting the second half with the ball, Daniels picked up right where he left off with his third touchdown run of the day, a 19-yard dash to the house, increasing the Huskies lead to 35-7 with 10:44 to go in the third quar-ter. Following an interception thrown by Benz, the first turnover of the game, Daniels finished another NIU scoring drive with a 16-yard run, his fourth rushing touchdown of the game to make the score 42-7 with 8:42 remaining in the contest. To finish off the game’s scoring, Jacob Brinlee found the end zone from 11 yards out to give the Huskies a 49-7 lead.

Mid-American Conference Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 67th year of service to the student-athlete. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and devel-oped into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only ten foot-ball Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth com-missioner in March of 2009. The league has grown its commitment to cham-pionships by expanding to seven its number of neutral site post season events – football (Ford Field, Detroit), volleyball (SPIRE Academy, Geneva, Ohio), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Sta-dium, Akron) and baseball (All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon, Ohio). In addition, the SPIRE facility will also serve as the site for the 2014 women’s swimming & diving championship and 2015 men’s swimming & diving championship. In 2012, the MAC set a conference record with seven teams receiving a bowl invitation, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Il-linois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, following a thrilling 44-37 double overtime win over Kent State in the 2012 Marathon MAC Football Championship game. The seven MAC programs that were extended bowl invitations included: To-ledo (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl); Ball State (Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg); Central Michigan (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl); Bowling Green (Military Bowl); Ohio (Advocare V100 Independence Bowl); Northern Illinois (Discover Orange Bowl) and Kent State (GoDaddy.com Bowl). The 2012 season witnessed four football pro-grams ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio—as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. MAC pro-grams were 4-4 against the Big East Conference, including wins over Rutgers, Cincinnati, UConn and South Florida, and three wins against opponents from the Big Ten Conference, including wins over Penn State, Iowa and Indiana. The dramatic 2012 football season was capped as Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2013 NFL Draft, becoming the first football player from the MAC with such an honor. For the first time in league history, the MAC will have seven bowl relationships--three primary and four secondary. The three primary agreements are with the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl (Detroit, Mich.), GoDaddy Bowl (Mobile, Ala.) and Famous Idaho Po-tato Bowl (Boise, Ida.). In addition, the MAC has se-cured secondary agreements with the BBVA Com-pass Bowl, the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, the Beef O’Brady’s St. Petersburg Bowl and the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC is in the fifth year of its eight-year rights agreement (through 2016-2017 academic years) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most extensive in the 67-year history of the conference. The agreement calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an

ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship Game and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. In men’s basketball, the MAC witnessed Akron reach the FirstEnergy MAC Men’s Basketball Tour-nament for the seventh consecutive season, as the Zips won their third title in five years. Also, Ohio University earned an invitation to the NIT, while Western Michigan reached the College Basketball Invitational Final Four after wins over North Dakota State and Wyoming. Kent State received an invita-tion to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament and de-feated Fairfield in the opening round. Akron center Zeke Marshall and Ohio point guard D.J. Cooper were selected to play in the 2013 Reese’s Division I College All-Star Game, as Cooper garnered MVP game honors. During the 2012-13 academic year, the Univer-sity of Akron men’s soccer team won its ninth MAC championship and fifth in the last six years, as the Zips advanced to their fifth consecutive NCAA Round of 16 appearance after defeating Michigan. Akron witnessed senior midfielder Scott Caldwell named as the All-America Scholar Athlete of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and a semifinalist for the Her-mann Trophy. The MAC had two student-athletes selected in the first round of the 2013 Major League Soccer Supplemental Draft – No. 3 overall Akron goalkeeper David Meyes (Portland Timbers) and No. 12 overall West Virginia defender Eric Schoenle (Philadelphia Union). The MAC also welcomed the addition of West Virginia as an affiliate member in men’s soccer for the 2012-13 academic year. In wrestling, the MAC welcomed Missouri, North-ern Iowa and Old Dominion (2014-15) as affili-ate members. Missouri won the 2013 conference tournament title as an affiliate member, snapping Central Michigan’s 11-year reign as champions. The MAC had a conference-best 40 wrestlers earn an invitation to the NCAA Division I National Champi-onship and 11 wrestlers earned All-America status – Central Michigan seniors Ben Bennett, school’s first four-time All-American, and Jarod Trice; Kent State senior Dustin Kilgore, schools first three-time All-American; Missouri’s Alan Waters, Nathan Mc-Cormick, Drake Houdashelt, Mike Larson, and Dom Bradley, matching the schools most All-Americans in a single-season; Northern Iowa’s David Bonin and Ryan Loder; and Ohio redshirt freshman Cody Walters.

In men’s cross country, Eastern Michigan claimed its 17th conference championship, while the Eagles captured their 31st conference title in men’s swim-ming and diving. The 31 championship titles for Eastern Michigan in men’s swimming and diving is a conference record. In addition, Eastern Michigan won the program’s 14th conference championship in indoor track and field. Kent State won the program’s fifth consecutive and 19th overall conference title and received its 26th NCAA appearance. Kent State and Ball State both advanced to the NCAA Men’s Conference Championship, marking only the fifth time since 1983 the conference had two programs advance in the NCAA postseason tournament. In men’s tennis, Western Michigan won its second consecutive conference championship and tenth title in the last 15 years. In men’s outdoor track and field, Akron won its third consecutive conference title and program’s fifth championship in the last six years. In baseball, Bowling Green won the pro-gram’s first conference title since 1999 as the No. 6 seed in the conference tournament. Women’s athletics continued to shine for the MAC this past year. The MAC had a total of six women’s basketball programs invited to postsea-son tournaments. Central Michigan claimed the MAC tournament title for the first time since 1984 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament, while Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Miami and Toledo all received at-large invitations to the WNIT Tournament. Three MAC programs – Ball State, Bowling Green and Toledo – all reached the WNIT Sweet 16. In women’s soccer, Miami earned its fourth MAC title in program history and Central Michigan earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, becoming the first team in conference history to earn an at-large bid. Central Michigan fell to Michigan in overtime, 2-1, while Miami defeated Tennessee 3-2 (OT) in the first round of the NCAA tournament and fell to Duke in the second round. Miami senior forward Jess Kodiak was named third team All-America by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Kodiak, along with Katie Slaughter of Central Michigan and Kayla Zakrzewski of Miami, were named All-Great Lakes Region First Team by the NSCAA. In volleyball, Bowling Green claimed the MAC ti-tle for the second time since 1991 and became the first team in program history to win a NCAA Tour-nament match. The Falcons defeated Yale in the first round, 3-2, and fell to Penn State in the second

Where We’re Located Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, about 10 miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, technological and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe. EMU’s 800 plus-acre campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jog-ging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake.Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted more than 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique In 1849, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a Uni-versity, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The University currently serves 23,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Educa-tion; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses; a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners; and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Faculty/Staff Eastern Michigan University employs nearly 700 full-time faculty and 1,000 staff members. Ninety-four percent of EMU professors have doctoral de-grees or terminal degrees in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 19:1. Faculty work closely with students, and many involve students in their research. Recently, the University celebrated its 30th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergradu-ate research.

Community Outreach Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real-world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on com-munity building and civic engagement, quality, com-munity and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

The Alumni Association Representing more than 142,000 alumni and friends, the Alumni Association sponsors social and service-related programs for more than 20 geographically-based and special-interest alumni chapters.

EMU’s Economic Impact Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3.7 billion annually reflects a return of more than $42 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $166 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.87 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

Mission Statement Eastern Michigan University is com-mitted to excellence in teaching through traditional and innovative approaches, the extension of knowledge through basic and applied research, and creative and artistic expression. Building on a proud tradition of na-tional leadership in the preparation of teach-ers, we maximize educational opportunities and personal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master’s and doc-

toral programs. We strive to provide a student-focused learning environment that enhances the lives of students and positively impacts the community. We extend our commitment beyond the campus boundaries to the wider community through service initiatives, and public and private partnerships of mutual interest addressing local, regional, national and international opportunities and challenges.

Our History Founded in 1849, when the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times; adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975 and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs and numerous community-focused institutes. The University has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Vil-lage residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

The City of Ypsilanti Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a French-Canadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate com-munity a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 work-ers.



Facilities Our 803-acre campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails, and has 128 buildings, the Lake House and Rynearson Stadium located on the south side of Huron River. Eagle Crest – our conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. Most recent additions include the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998); the Convocation Center (1998); the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998); the John W. Porter Building, housing the College of Educa-tion (1999); the environmentally sustainable Everett L. Marshall Building, housing the College of Health and Human Services (2000); the renovation of Boone Hall (2000), housing our Extended Programs offices; and The Village (2001), a spacious, apartment-style residence facility. There are currently 11 residence halls and three apartment complexes with 583 units housing more than 4,000 students. The EMU Student Center also opened in November of 2006.

Entering her sixth year as the president of Eastern Michigan University, Dr. Susan W. Martin has made a significant impact on the campus in her time in Ypsilanti. Named the 22nd president of EMU May 14, 2008, she is the first female president in EMU’s 164-year history. Martin officially took office July 7, 2008. Martin’s tenure at Eastern has brought unprecedented five-year growth in facili-ties and record-setting growth in enroll-ment. During this time, Eastern has also led the state in tuition restraint. Since joining EMU she has led the insti-tution to enrollment growth, kept tuition, room and board at 0% increase for 2010-11, enhanced the quality of education by investing in hiring new faculty, and enhanced the living and learning facili-ties by making $210 million in capital im-provements to the campus. Eastern has been a nationally recog-nized leader in tuition restraint. Over the past four years, Eastern’s average increase of 2.86 percent in tuition has been by far the lowest among the state’s 15 public universities. This includes the “0, 0, 0” tuition, room and board freeze of 2010-

2011, in which Eastern was one of a handful of universi-ties around the nation to not increase fees. Today, students pay only $32 more per credit hour than four years ago. Additionally, Eastern com-pleted its first comprehensive fundraising campaign a year ahead of schedule. “Invest. In-spire. The Campaign for East-ern Michigan” surpassed its $50 million goal in the sum-mer of 2012 and reached $56 million. The highly successful campaign set the tone for fu-ture efforts to benefit Eastern students. “I am thrilled to be chosen for the honor of leading this great University, which has a strong history of excellent education and a bright future,” said Mar-tin. During her inaugural address Martin set fourth an ambitious vision for the university. The goals included building on the

pillars of academic excellence, refresh-ing alumni relationships, comprehen-sive fundraising and earning the public’s trust. Prior to coming to EMU, Martin was the provost and vice-chancellor of academic affairs at the University of Michigan-Dear-born. The majority of Martin’s higher educa-tion career was at Grand Valley State Uni-

versity, where she taught and published as a professor of accounting and taxation. Martin served as director of the master of taxation program, director of interna-tional business programs, and chair of the accounting and taxation department. In June 2001, Martin joined the GVSU provost’s office and served in roles as as-sistant, associate, and executive associate vice president of academic affairs. One of her major duties in that office was to help manage the $154 million budget for the Academic Affairs Division. Before GVSU, Martin was deputy state treasurer for the Bureau of Local Govern-ment Services for Michigan from June 1981-June 1984. She also was the com-missioner of revenue for the state of Michigan from 1985-1988. Martin received her doctoral degree in accounting from Michigan State Univer-sity in 1988 and her master’s degree in ac-counting from MSU in 1976. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Central Michi-gan University in 1971. In 2009, Martin received the MSU De-partment of Accounting and Information Systems Alumna of the Year Award. Martin is a member of the board of di-rectors of the Michigan Educational Trust as well as Ann Arbor SPARK, a non-profit organization that seeks to bring busi-nesses to the Ann Arbor area. She is married to Dr. Larry Martin, pro-fessor of economics at Michigan State University, and has three children and three grandchildren.

*Mid-American Conference Game

Rynearson Stadium

Rynearson Stadium begins its 45th season as the home venue for the Eastern Michigan University football and track teams in 2012. Opened in 1969, the facility is named for the late Elton J. Rynearson, Sr., who coached football at Eastern Michigan for 28 seasons. The first game played in Rynearson Stadium was Sept. 27, 1969, when EMU upset the University of Akron, 10-3. The stadium was dedicated a few weeks later on Oct. 25, 1969, when EMU lost, 17-7, to the University of Tampa. More than two million fans have seen EMU play in Rynearson. In 22 of the 44 years, Eastern has av-eraged more than 11,000 fans per home date. The 1995 season proved to be the record-breaking year for Rynearson Stadium attendance. A single-game record crowd of 25,009 was on hand, Sept. 16, 1996, to watch the Eagles dismantle UNLV, 51-6. That four-game ‘95 season also proved to be a best for season average attendance of 22,602. Rynearson Stadium is set up for a capacity of 30,200 with the ability to expand for larger crowds. The stadium originally held 15,500, but additional seating and lighting were added in 1974 when the now-defunct Detroit Wheels used the facility for their World Football League games. The additional seating in 1974 brought the capacity to 22,227. Dur-ing the summer of 1992, seating was added on the east side to bring capacity to the current total of 30,200. Built for an approximate cost of $1.4 million in 1969, Rynearson Stadium underwent a major ren-ovation project in 1991 and 1992, which included installation of a StadiaTurf field, a new team build-ing, an additional 10,000-plus seats, new bathroom facilities and concession stands, an expanded press box and state-of-the-art scoreboard were added at a cost of approximately $13 million. The playing field was originally natural grass. A sand-filled artificial surface, StadiaTurf, was installed in 1991. The StadiaTurf surface was replaced in May 1998, by an AstroTurf artificial surface. A FieldTurf surface was installed in the summer of 2005. The press box is located on the top of the west-side stands. A second level was added as part of the renovations in 1991. The working media utilize the lower level while the top level is the University hos-pitality area for the stadium. The EMU locker room is located in the team build-ing at the north end of the stadium. The visitor’s locker room is located below the stands on the west side of the stadium.

Elton J. Rynearson, Sr.

Elton J. Rynearson, former athletic director and coach at Eastern Michigan University, died Feb. 8, 1967. “Rynie” coached every varsity sport at one time or another during his 46 years of service to the Uni-versity. In his 28 years as head football coach, Rynearson compiled a won-lost-tied record of 114-58-15, including one stretch from 1925 to 1933 when his teams lost only six games. In 1968, the Rynearson Scholar-Athlete Award was founded in his memory. It is given annually to the EMU football player who best combines athletic ability and scholastic excellence.



Convocation Center

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in its 15th season as the crown jewel of EMU athletics, opened up a new era of excitement on the west campus of EMU in the fall of 1998. The state-of-the-art, $29-million facility is the result of a decade-long effort to improve and up-grade University facilities and followed closely the opening of the $41-million Bruce T. Halle Library on the main campus. Construction of the Convocation Center began in the spring of 1997 and culminated with its dedi-cation game, Dec. 9, 1998, with a men’s basketball game against the University of Michigan in front of a crowd of 7,647. Since its opening, the Convocation Center has served as home court for the Eagles’ men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The EMU wrestling team and women’s gymnastics team have held several meets on the arena floor. The Convocation Center has also served as the site for four Mid-American Conference Champi-onships. EMU hosted the 2000 and 2007 MAC Gymnastics Championship and the 2002 and 2009 MAC Wrestling Championship. The arena has been the host site for seven first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, four first-round MAC Volleyball Tournament games and four first-round game for the men’s basket-ball squad. The building also played the host for the EMU women’s basketball team’s upset of the University of Michigan in the First Round of the 2011 Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT). The Convocation Center also played host to the 2008 WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals and the WNBA Championship, as the Detroit Shock utilized the facility for the playoffs. Along with their commitment to EMU Athlet-ics, the Convocation Center staff has brought some of the finest entertainers in the world to Ypsilanti. The Convo has hosted concerts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smash-mouth, Ludacris, Bob Dillion, Toby Keith, Match-box Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Chapelle, John Mayer and Jay-Z. The Convocation Center is also the site for EMU’s spring and winter commencement cer-emonies. Among other events that have taken

place include numerous youth sporting competi-tions, high school commencements, trade shows, job fairs, conventions, charity and community awareness events as well as a circus. The 204,316-square-foot facility features three user-friendly levels — arena, concourse and office — and three seating configurations to maximize crowd capacity and space usage. The largest seating capacity is for center-stage entertainment activities, with 9,500 seats available. The capacity for basketball games is approximately 8,800. EMU’s athletic administration is located on the office level, along with offices for the EMU foot-ball, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball coaching staffs. The EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, as well as offices for the Convocation Cen-ter staff, are located on the office level. The main athletic training room and office space for EMU’s sports medicine staff is located on the arena level as are strength and conditioning facilities and equipment rooms. In the summer of 2012, the Convocation Center received a major face-lift, as a YESCO four-sided ceiling hung display sign, featuring video boards on all four sides, was installed above center court in the arena. The fixture features four 10MM full color video boards, with each board’s active area measuring 15.7-foot wide by 11.5-foot tall. In addition, the system also features three ribbon displays on the west and east sides and under the scoreboard. The arena will also showcase an integrated light emitting diode (LED) courtside scorer’s table. There is no doubt that the Convocation Center has become a special place for athletic events, but there is a warm spot in the hearts of Eastern Michigan fans for Bowen Field House, the home for men’s and women’s basketball games for 43 years. Bowen was built in 1955 at a cost of $1.25 mil-lion. The facility has 79,529 square feet of floor space and includes an eight-laps-to-the-mile indoor track. An additional 9,394 square feet, along with new permanent seating, a new court and upgrading of the facility was completed in 1982 at a cost of $506,938. Bowen still serves as home to EMU’s track teams and also serves as a practice facility for many of Eastern’s varsity squads.

Indoor Practice Facility

YPSILAnTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- Eastern Michigan Univer-sity’s Indoor Athletic Practice Facility, also known as “The Bubble,” is paying dividends for the University, the community and EMU ath-letics in its second year of operation. “I think the facility has been invaluable,” said former Eastern Michigan University’s athletic director Derrick Gragg. “It is the first time in EMU athletic history that our football team has been able to do conditioning and practice in the winter months without interruption. We also have seen improvement in our baseball and softball programs, and the practice facility has had something to do with that. This facility should help reduce the competitive ad-vantages that other programs have had in the past and is helping EMU catch up to other schools.” “Everything has gone very smoothly,” said Mark Monahan, di-rector of the EMU Convocation Center, which oversees the indoor practice facility. “Since January, it has been booked all the time. We have had a ton of youth sports use it.” The indoor practice facility, which cost $3.9 million to build, was inflated during February 2010. The facility is a permanent air-supported structure that is 410 feet long, 210 feet wide, and 75 feet tall; and includes a welcome center (1,100 square feet) and convertible space (86,000 square feet) that can be configured for a football field, an international soccer field, four youth soccer fields or two youth baseball/softball fields. A full-time supervisor and students staff the facility. The facility, located at 150 Westview Drive, is open Monday-Friday, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Youth soccer, Little League baseball, high school football teams, EMU club sports, recreational groups and six intercollegiate teams have used the facility since it opened last year, said Monahan. The six intercollegiate sports that use the facility are football, baseball, softball, women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s golf. “It’s been fantastic for our league,” said Dave York, soccer man-ager for Total Sports Complex. “We are able to incorporate more Ann Arbor-based clubs so they don’t have to drive so far to play.” Total Sports Complex runs youth soccer programs — that in-cludes approximately 700 players — in southeastern Michigan and Ohio. Monahan said there has been one challenge for the facility. “Parking has been an issue because business is so good,” he said. The facility has 100 spaces, but the volume associated with its use has led Monahan to request additional parking. Currently, Mo-

nahan said that a shuttle service to and from additional parking at Westview has helped offset the situation. “We need about 50 more spaces,” said Monahan. He said there is a proposal to add additional spaces on a hill near the existing spaces. Monahan said the facility had netted $325,000 in user fees as of March and is “in the black.” However, he said some utility billing issues are still being worked out so determining a profit margin is difficult at this point. “I think it was a great decision by the University,” said Monahan of building the facility. “The community seems pleased. It has been wonderful for the University and it is paying for itself.”

Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname “Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites,” “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the re-sult of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee, composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriate-ness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Indian logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express.

Student-Athlete Support

Student-Athlete Support Services Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success. At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an aca-demic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, pro-viding learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and University rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the student-athlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other University student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and provid-ing additional help with courses when requested.

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long his-tory and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, man-agement and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara Master-Hunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Ad-ditionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medi-cine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes. At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: to provide a high standard of medical care through effective preventive and management programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilita-tion process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well. The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facili-ties in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning Our Sports Performance Program applies a complete approach to scientifi-cally and practically progress each individual athlete. Our purpose is to improve all components that will aid in achieving maximal athletic performance while reducing the occurrence of injury. We incorporate athletic based, free weight, multi-joint, and multi-directional movements which vary from a diverse col-lection of strength and conditioning disciplines to prepare each athlete for the general and specific demands of their sport. Standards that will be implemented at all times are: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Quality before Quantity, and Execu-tion before Innovation. Assuming quality thought and effort have been put into a sports performance program, all else being equal, the program feels that these three components are usually separating an elite level program from the average. Incorporating Daily Competitions – The ability for athletes to compete in an every day setting is critical to the success of team and individual sports. Anything from team relay’s, to 1 on 1 tug of wars, to using a dumbbell weight heavier than the previous week. I simply make the statement to my teams, “WIN THE DAY.” Work harder – beat your last weeks sets/reps/weight/time, COMPETE! There is competitive nature in all mankind. Sometimes it takes a little extra effort on the coaching end to see it. Fill your team with competitors and your program will take care of itself. Physical and Mental Sport Transfer – Training to the specifics of the sport, and style that the head coaches are teaching is an essential way to succeed at any level. Find out what the sport coaches are looking to achieve and speak their same language. You are an addition to their staff, hop on board and cater your philosophy to their needs. Giving each athlete specific examples of on field/on court experiences where success can either be earned or an opportunity can be lost. Being able to make athlete’s understand the importance of mental tough-ness that is needed in the weight room and how it transfers over to their sport. The pain, the physical and mental struggles they endure in each training session is setting them up for success for their competitive season. Fight for every rep just as you would for any rebound, blocked shot, interception, or stolen base. Make references back to their closest contests that might have been decided by one play – (or one rep). Positive Influential Environment – Do athletes leave the weight room looking to return for more or dreading the next time they have to mope through one of the most silent hours of their day? Each session, from the minute the first athlete walks in, to the last grueling minute they are dragging out, fill the room with ENERGY!!! Push them through their toughest moments and coach every rep. Show each and every athlete that you care about their progress. Stay vo-cal, provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism, play that latest hip-hop track and find a way to create a positive training environment.



NCAA Compliance

The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athletics Compliance is committed to a com-prehensive compliance program that educates student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Mid-American Conference and institu-tional rules. The commitment to compliance en-sures institutional control over the department of athletics. The existence of a successful com-pliance program depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, staff, student-athletes and boosters to be cognizant of NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

WHAT IS COMPLIAnCE? At Eastern Michigan University, the Office of Compliance works within the department of athletics and the University to ensure EMU's compliance with all applicable NCAA, MAC and institutional rules. In doing so, the compliance office is charged with the following tasks:

Educating administrators, coaches, staff, • prospective student-athletes, current stu-dent-athletes and boosters about NCAA, MAC and institutional rules;Developing monitoring systems to ensure • compliance with NCAA, MAC and institu-tional rules (e.g., recruiting, academic eli-gibility, financial aid, awards and benefits, amateurism and agents);Investigating and reporting violations of • NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

ARE YOU A BOOSTER? You are a booster if you are or ever have:

Been a member of a booster organization • that supports EMU athletics (e.g., EMU Ath-letic Club, E-Gridiron Group, E-Hoops);Made any financial contributions to the • athletics department;Been involved in promoting EMU's athlet-• ics program;Been a season ticket holder; or• Provided benefits to enrolled student-ath-• letes or their relatives or friends.

OnCE A BOOSTER ALWAYS A BOOSTER. Once an individual is identified as a booster, the person retains that identity forever! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU's athletics program.

WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDEnT-ATHLETE? A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade, students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered pros-pects. An individual remains a prospect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent.

WHAT IS An EXTRA BEnEFIT? An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a EMU employee or booster to provide a pros-pect, student-athlete or their relatives or friends a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:

Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any • other tangible item;A special discount, payment arrangement • or credit on any purchase or service;Loan of money or co-signing of loans;• A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transpor-• tation expenses;Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or • rentals;Entertainment on- or off-campus; or• Free or reduced-cost rent or housing.•

WHAT ARE THE COnSEQUEnCES? EMU is responsible for the actions of its boost-ers. If a booster provides an impermissible ben-efit to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a violation occurs, regardless of intention, it can:

Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective • and current student-athletes; Result in the EMU athletics program being • penalized by the NCAA and/or the Mid-American Conference; and Cause you to lose benefits or privileges • associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privi-leges).

Nearly 1,000 donors generously supported our outstanding scholar-athletes each year. Established in 1994, the EMU Athletic Club raises funds in three key areas for EMU’s 21 varsity athletic teams: annual-use operating funds, endowment, and facility related projects. Today, annual-use giving is the most critical area of support needed by the Athletic Department. These contributions directly support the operating budgets of our teams and help provide the most basic needs to our coaches and student-athletes, including compre-hensive national recruiting efforts, out of region travel to maintain nationally competitive schedules, equipment such as uniforms, balls, nets, bats, and much more. Gifts to any of our teams, or to the Eagles for Excellence Fund (which will be used for the most urgent needs of the athletic department), are an investment in the future leaders of the state of Michigan.

L.J. Shelton was named third-team All-America by The Football News after the 1998 season. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound Shelton, was a two-time, first-team All-Mid-American Conference selection at offensive left tackle. He became the first player in EMU football history to earn invitations to four post-season senior All-Star games. Shelton chose to participate in just one post-season game, the Senior Bowl, and he played the entire game at offensive left tackle. Shelton then became the highest draft choice in school history when he was the 21st pick in the 1999 National Football League Draft as a first-round selection of the Arizona Cardinals. Ron Johnson was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 22nd pick in the first round of the 1977 draft.

The 2004 season was a memorable one for Eastern Michigan University place-kicker Andrew Wellock as the sophomore earned multiple honors for an outstanding year. Wellock was named third-team All-Ameri-can by the Associated Press, finished runner-up for the Lou Groza Award which is given annually to the top place-kicker in the NCAA Division I ranks, and was a first-team All-Mid-American Conference pick. Wellock turned in an outstanding sopho-more season in 2004, booting 21-of-23 field goal attempts and 32-of-33 PAT’s. He tied the EMU record with a 52-yard field goal against Idaho (Oct. 2). Wellock booted four

field goals, including a 50 yarder, as well as the game-winning 24-yard field goal in EMU’s 61-58 four-overtime win over Central Michigan (Nov. 6) at Ford Field in Detroit. Wellock finished the season tied with Michigan State’s David Rayner as the leading place-kicker in the nation with a 1.91 field goals per-game average and 22nd in scoring at 8.64 points per-game. He became EMU’s single-season points scored leader with 95. Wellock was one of seven kickers in the Division I-A ranks that handled all of the placekicking, kickoff, and punting duties. He averaged 37.2 yards per punt.

EMU

Did You Know?

This is the 45th year that Eastern Michigan Univer-sity has called Rynearson Stadium home. Just over two million fans have seen EMU play in Rynearson. In 22 of the 44 years, Eastern has averaged more than 11,000 fans per home date. The 1995 season proved to be the record-breaking year for Rynearson Stadium attendance. A single-game record crowd of 25,009 was on hand, Sept. 16, 1996, to watch the Eagles dismantle UNLV, 51-6. That four-game ‘95 season also proved to be a best for season average attendance of 22,602. The stadium is named after legendary Eastern Michigan coach Elton J. Rynearson, Sr. He was the head football coach for 28 seasons and complied a win-loss record of 114-58-15, including one stretch from 1925-33 when his teams lost just six games. Rynearson served the school for 46 years as a football and basketball coach as well as athletics director.

* The 2004-2007 seasons included one neutral-site game, the Collegiate Clash played at Ford Field in Detroit. All four of those games counted in the total home attendance but not in the Rynearson Stadium overall record or attendance figures. In 2004 at Ford Field the Eagles won a dramatic 61-58 four-overtime decision over Central Michigan before 24,423 fans. The 2005 game at Ford Field, between EMU and Western Michigan, was an equally exciting game with WMU tak-ing a 44-36 win before 11,191 fans. In 2006, Navy used a strong ground game to record a 49-21 win, while in 2007 Northwestern pulled out a 26-14 victory in front of a national television audience on ESPNU.

EMU

Did You Know?

The seasons from 1925-38 are referred to as the “Glory Years” in the annals of Eastern Michigan University football. Elton J. Rynearson, Sr. returned to the University as head coach in 1925 and led the team to an 8-0 overall record and a 5-0 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) title. Starting with the 1925 season, Eastern recorded an 80-19-7 record through the 1938 season. The banner year may have been the 1930 season when the football squad posted a 6-1 record, losing only to the University of Michigan by a 7-0 decision before 78,247 fans in Ann Arbor.

JAMES M. “BINGO” BROWN AWARD (MOST VALUABLE OFFENSIVE PLAYER)

The James M. “Bingo” Brown Award is awarded annually to the Eastern Michigan University football player who is voted by his teammates to have been the outstanding offensive player. The award is named for one of the most beloved and well known figures in the history of the Ypsilanti campus, James M. “Bingo” Brown. He died Sept. 1, 1965, at the age of 73. Known to thousands of young men and women only as “Bingo,” he served as football coach for two years (1923 and 1924) before being appointed dean of men in 1927, a position he held for 35 years until his retirement in 1962.

TEAM MOST VALUABLE PLAYER AWARD The 1997 season marked the first time in EMU football history that a football coaching staff gave an award to an individual player as the team’s MVP. Quarterback Charlie Batch won the inaugural award. The award will continue into the future.

JOHN E. BOROWIEC AWARD (MOST VALUABLE DEFENSIVE PLAYER) The John E. Borowiec Award was first given in 1952 when center Chris Armelagos was named MVP.

Lional Dalton, a two-time first team All-Mid-American Conference selection in 1996 and 1997, was not drafted by any NFL team. However, he has proven the skeptics wrong, playing in the league the last six seasons, including playing on the 2000 Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens. He has then moved on to play for both the Denver Broncos and the Washington Redskins.

Freddie Nelson (7) was an Honorable Mention Academic All-Mid-American Conference selection in 1995 while catching passes from first team All-MAC quarterback Charlie Batch (16).

There were few observers that gave the Eastern Michigan Univer-sity football team any chance of winning a battle with San José State University at the 1987 California Bowl. In fact, the oddsmakers made the Big West Champion Spartans of San José State a 17-point favorite in the matchup with Mid-American Conference champion Eastern Michigan. But Head Coach Jim Harkema’s “Road Warriors” proved that desire and determination could overcome those odds as Eastern recorded a thrilling 30-27 victory. The EMU offense ground out 212 yards rushing, including 130 yards from MVP Gary Patton in the win. The EMU defense also rose to the occasion, holding San José State to 81 yards rushing.

The 1971 Eastern Michigan Football Squad

The 1987 Eastern Michigan Football Squad

Eastern Michigan’s first-ever postseason bowl appearance would be a real challenge as the Hurons, ranked No. 3 in the NCAA-College Division national poll, would face off against a Louisiana Tech squad that was the No. 5 squad in the country, in the first Pioneer Bowl in Wichita Falls, Texas. Head Coach Dan Boisture’s squad entered the bowl game as one of the top defensive clubs in the country, allowing just one touchdown in the final five games of the 1971 season. While the defensive team was prepared for the bowl game, the offensive unit was trying to patch together an offensive backfield that had been crippled by injuries late in the season. Larry Ratcliff, Eastern’s standout tailback, suffered a season-ending knee injury in the seventh game of the season, Oct. 30 against Northern Michigan. Ratcliff’s backup, Don Madden, was also sidelined with an injury, leaving the vaunted EMU rushing game looking for a leader. Seldom-used tailback Tim Packrall stepped in and rushed for a game-high 122 yards on 31 carries but the EMU offense could muster just one score, a 22-yard field goal by Jackson Nunn. Louisiana Tech added a 91-yard punt return by Wenford Wilborn in the third quarter and the Bulldogs went on to post a 14-3 victory. That loss was the lone defeat for EMU on the way to a 7-1-2 overall mark in 1971.

Team RecordsBIGGEST COMEBACK

EMU trailed by 21 points Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010, as Ball State raced out to a 21-point lead midway through the second quarter before the Eagles mounted the biggest comeback in school history. Eastern rallied to out-score the Cardinals, 41-17 the rest of the way for the 41-38 over-time win. The only other EMU team to rally for 20 points or more was the 2000 squad that came back from a 32-12 deficit to score 27 unanswered points to defeat Northern Illinois, 39-32, Nov. 11, in Rynearson Stadium.

QB RUSHING ATTACK Quarterback Alex Gillett turned in a record-setting effort to lead the Eagles to their first win of the season, Oct. 16, 2010, in Muncie, Ind. against the Ball State University Cardinals. Gillett set EMU QB records for most rushes (35) and net rushing yards (189) while scoring two rush-ing touchdowns and also completing 10-of-18 passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns in EMU's 41-38 come-from-behind overtime win. Gil-lett scored on touchdown runs of six and two yards and threw touch-down passes of 73, 33 and 12 yards, with the last one a 12-yard TD throw to tight end Ben Thayer in overtime to give EMU the 41-38 victory. Gillett's 35 rushes is the 17th best in EMU history and the most ever by a QB while his 189 net rushing yards is the 18th best effort in school history, and also the most ever by a QB. Gillett led EMU back from an early 21-0 deficit to gain the win, the Eagles' first of the season. He had 53 total offensive plays and 414 yards in total offense, the ninth best single-game effort in school history.

SHORT ROAD TRIPS - ACCORDING TO GOOGLE MAPS Below is a list of the closest rivalries in the NCAA FBS subdivision (for-merly I-A). Only schools with a regular history made the list.

DIVERSITY MILESTONE On Oct. 23, 2010 when Eastern Michigan University and the University of Virginia met on the football field, another milestone on the landscape of diversity and opportunities for coaches and administrators in intercollegiate athletics was realized. Not only did the game mark the 1,000th for the Eastern Michigan football program, it will also be a noteworthy day for minority football coaches and athletic directors on the Division I FBS and FCS levels (excluding historically black colleges). Mike London (football coach) and Craig Littlepage (athletic director) of the University of Virginia hosted Ron English (football coach) and Dr. Derrick Gragg (athletic director) of Eastern Michigan University. This group has the distinction of achieving a unique milestone on the landscape of intercollegiate diversity in sport. Although no official NCAA record currently exists, the 2010 Eastern Michigan vs. Virginia football game was believed to be the first football game on the Division I level with the opposing coaches and athletic directors being African-Americans.
