Eastern Michigan Football Depth Chart: Week 3 at Arizona State

Eastern Michigan dipped to a 1-1 record after a 49-21 road loss to Louisiana. A tough pill swallow, but it’s Monday so it’s time to move forward and look forward to the next opponent.

Arizona State, likewise, has a 1-1 record so far with a win over FCS-level Northern Arizona (40-3), and a road loss to #11 Oklahoma State (34-17).

This will be the first meeting between the two schools.

EMU released its weekly depth chart on Monday with minimal changes.

Of note, center Dimitri Douglas listed as the official starter ahead of Richard Bates Jr. Douglas was the starting center for EMU in the first two weeks of the season, but Bates was the listed starter ahead of both games.

Other than that, no major changes from the way the team started this season.
