Oh look, my note made it in EMU's game notes this week.

KNOCKING OFF THE UNBEATEN
EMU's 38-14 win at UMass was an unusually significant result. The Minutemen entered 4-0 and had trailed for only 2:54 combined through their first four games. EMU flipped that script immediately, scoring on its opening possession and leading wire-to-wire before pulling away with 24 unanswered second-half points. More than the timing, the rarity stands out. The Ypsilanti Eleven noted before the game that EMU had not handed a MAC
opponent its first loss of the season after an undefeated start of 4-0 or better since 1988, when the Eagles defeated 5-0 Ball State, 16-12. In other words, Saturday's result matched a feat EMU had not accomplished in 38 years.

Availability report for EMU/UMass EMU still without Cole Dellinger. Samuel Adjin out this week too. So is Richardo Wourman, who got his first start last week at LG. Jason Marshall also a no-go for a second-straight week.

2:12 if we're being overly-honest and including drive time on the first TD, but yeah. Insane.

Some news: the MAC is moving to 9-game conference scheduling for football in 2 years

Mid-American Conference to Move to Nine-Game Conference Football Schedule Beginning in 2028

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference announced today that it will move to a nine-game conference football schedule beginning with the 2028 season, providing each member institution with an additional Conference matchup while preserving opportunities for non-conference competition.

The decision was approved by the MAC Council of Directors of Athletics as conference scheduling models continue to evolve across the college football landscape.

“College football continues to change, and our responsibility is to make thoughtful decisions that position the Mid-American Conference and our institutions for long-term success,” said MAC Commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher. “Moving to a nine-game Conference schedule provides greater Conference exposure for our programs while maintaining flexibility for meaningful non-conference competition.”

“Just as importantly, this decision allows us to continue building a schedule that serves our student-athletes, our institutions, and our fans. The MAC has always valued competition, rivalry and opportunity, and this next step reflects those priorities.”

Beginning in 2028, each MAC football program will play nine Conference games and three non-conference contests during the regular season. The additional conference game will increase the number of Conference matchups available to fans and television audiences while providing another opportunity for institutions to compete against MAC opponents.

The Conference will continue working with its membership to develop the nine-game scheduling model, including future opponent rotations and considerations related to competitive balance, geographic rivalries, travel, and home-game opportunities. The move will also provide additional Conference football inventory as the MAC continues to strengthen its national television and media relationships.
