Eastern held on to beat Umas 19-17 at Rynearson Stadium on Saturday, which is not the kind of finish many had hoped to read on the scoreboard, but a win in non-conference play is a win in non-conference play.
How much of that score reads that there needs to be a change at quarterback?
The defense hung on and provided the team with four takeaways, including three in the first half. Special teams, expect for a missed PAT, is still performing well. But is it time to give one of the other QBs a shot?
If the UMass game says anything, then the answer might be pretty obvious.

Eastern Michigan returns home with its fifth game against UMass since 2014. While this isn’t a MAC game, it certainly feels like it (considering UMass was in the MAC not too long ago). EMU scraped by a win at home over UMass last year (20-13) and the Minutemen look better than what it showed up with last year on offense.
Sure, its starting QB is hurt, but improved nonetheless.
It’s round two of Chris Creighton vs. Don Brown, aka “Dr. Blitz”, and I went to a trustworthy source for great expertise on the topic of UMass football: Michael Traini from Fight Massachusetts/247sports.

Final score from Saturday: Minnesota 25, Eastern Michigan 6. As the saying goes: great teams cover. The gamblers everywhere either applaud or loathe EMU’s red zone defense.
One last look back at the Minnesota game, and I’ve got one big question for Eastern’s offense moving forward. Who’s going to step up and be that true X receiver this year?

With the Howard game behind us, it’s time to look ahead to Minnesota.
To help preview Eastern Michigan’s upcoming opponent, I asked Ryan Burns (Gopher Illustrated/247sports) to help break down the Gophers.
What expectations does this P.J. Fleck-led program play with? EMU fans recognize some former Western Michigan players wearing maroon and gold, but what about QB Athan Kaliakmanis and WR Daniel Jackson? The defense is going to be a huge task for EMU to face, but could special teams be a difference-maker if this is a tight game in the second half?

The final score from Week 1: Eastern Michigan 33, Howard 23.
Eastern Michigan’s special teams units, highlighted by Hamze El-Zayat’s 96-yard and Jaylon Jackson’s 84-yard touchdowns, really stole the show early on. That’s one of those things that doesn’t happen by accident, and that’s a really good warning sign for everybody else to seriously think hard about what you’re going to do on kickoffs and punts.
Not all of EMU’s starters and key contributors suited up for the game, but that shouldn’t totally explain this stat line: Howard’s explosive play rate on offense was 10% while EMU’s was 2%.
