E. Michigan needs one more loss

All of Eastern Michigan’s fumbles, errant passes and missed tackles won’t mean a thing if the EMUs fail to goof up one more time.

They need a clutch loss against No. 7 Akron (2-9) Saturday to win the Bottom Ten title.

That’s because they’re being pressed by the No. 2 Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky (0-10), owners of an 18-game losing streak, longest in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Of course, even Western Kentucky will be hard pressed to record another defeat Saturday since it’s matched against No. 13 Florida Atlantic (3-7).

Talk about an exciting weekend of football.

Florida Atlantic, by the way, is coming off a 21-47 loss to the winningest Trojans team in America — Troy (Ala.) University (8-3).
