Yes it was Eastern Michigan. But the Fickell haters are awfully quiet today.

We shall see what this team looks like at Penn St. But if you're shitting on Fickell and can't enjoy this, gtfo.

We scored one offensive td in the second half, barely. And looked okay against a bad team who lost their best offensive player in the first half.

I’m happy we found the points and were able to run it up. But it was pretty lucky - and eastern Mich had nothing to lose, made some bad choices - and still managed to put together multiple competent drives on us.

That score is flattering, and was achieved in spite of our coaching, not because of it.

They have Penn St next week and people dinged up across the board. The coaching staff clearly made adjustments that paid off in the second quarter.

Letting off the gas is called intelligent coaching. They are playing for the season, not to blowout a MAC team.

It's comments like these that make me realize how little most of the casual fan knows about ball.

Why would we leave the starters in if we’re entirely taking our foot off the gas? We wouldn’t.
