Eastern Michigan Football Depth Chart: Week 7 vs. Northern Illinois

With a 4-2 record on the season and 1-1 in MAC play, Eastern Michigan’s focus is on defending its home turf against the defending MAC Champions. Northern Illinois will come to town Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. kick (TV: CBS Sports Network), and this of course will be a huge test for the Eagles.

If records settled the score, Eastern (4-2) should handle Northern (1-5) no problem, but that’s just not going to be the case. Eastern Michigan has to win games like these to win the MAC West, and now’s its best chance to beat the reigning kings of the conference with (or without?) its returning (or not returning?) starting quarterback.

As always, EMU provided its team depth chart with its weekly game notes. I’ve got the team’s depth chart provided below with some stats and notes on select players.

Previous weekly depth charts: Week 1 vs. Eastern Kentucky | Week 2 at Louisiana-Lafeyette | Week 3 at Arizona State | Week 4 vs. Buffalo | Week 5 vs. UMass | Week 6 at Western Michigan
