Eastern Michigan vs. Central Michigan: Live updates, score, results, highlights, for Friday's NCAA Football game
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Eastern Michigan vs. Central Michigan football game
The Central Michigan Chippewas and the Eastern Michigan Eagles are even-steven against one another since November of 2015 (2-2-3), but not for long. The Chippewas and EMU will face off in a Mid-American battle at noon ET on Friday at Rynearson Stadium. If the nothing to nothing final from the last time they met is any indication, this matchup will be decided by the defense.
It was all tied up 7-7 at halftime, but CMU was not quite the Western Michigan Broncos' equal in the second half when they met last week. CMU fell in a 12-10 heartbreaker. Their only offensive touchdown came on a rush from QB Bert Emanuel Jr.. Emanuel Jr. put himself on the highlight reel with a 60-yard TD scramble in the first quarter.
Meanwhile, EMU was able to grind out a solid win over the Kent State Golden Flashes last Wednesday, winning 31-24. EMU QB Taylor Powell was slinging it as he passed for three TDs and 315 yards on 39 attempts. That was the first 300+ yard effort for Powell this season.
This next contest is expected to be close, with CMU going off at just a 2-point favorite. But bettors beware: they are 0-4-1 against the spread when favored.
Eastern Michigan's victory lifted them to 7-4 while Central Michigan's loss dropped them down to 4-7. We'll see if the Eagles' success rolls on or if the Chippewas are able to steal their positive momentum.
