How did EMU’s 2012 opponents do in week 2?
EMU’s opponents went 7-5 this week. Most of the games were bad mismatches, with only three one-possession games (Purdue lost by 3, Toledo won by 3, and Bowling Green won by 8) and every other game decided by three possessions or more. Next week will have two matchups of future EMU opp0nents, with Toledo hosting Bowling Green and Army hosting Northern Illinois. Kent State and Central Michigan head into bye weeks, though Kent State is preparing for a Wednesday night game at Buffalo.
