Prediction time: Eastern Michigan
Can’t believe the 2010 season opener is here.
Was a little shocked this week when I saw the game’s line. Army is a 10-point favorite at Eastern Michigan Saturday. The last time Army was a favorite on the road was its 2006 season opener at Arkansas State. Army lost that game 14-6.
Sal Interdonato, Times Herald-Record beat writer: Army 27, Eastern Michigan 14: Army fans will forget about last year’s scoring woes quickly. Army’s offense will be more complex and imaginative. Jared Hassin scores his first two college touchdowns in Army’s win.
Mike Huguenin of Rivals.com: Army 26, Eastern Michigan 20. Huguenin said, “The game just down the road in Ann Arbor is a big one. This one? It’s the season’s first dog of the week. EMU was 116th in the national in total offense last season, one spot better than Army.”
