It was very nice to see the eagles get the victory, sloppy game and I would say mediocre QB play from Powell. He is going to need to improve greatly if we are going to have a chance to compete in the MAC. I really liked what Chrighton said in his presser l, “ It was a somber locker room.” that too me shows this team has a lot of maturity they won but they were not overly excited about a victory where they played poorly. Good to see from EMU I have seen many teams in the past. A victory like that and we are ready to take on Alabama. Time to flush it and let’s move on to the next one. BTW I am a avid reader of your articles I look forward to every new one keep up the good work
Powell definitely had some throws that could've been better. Even the TD toss to Beydoun looked like risky business. Still,, probably better to have some things to work on following a Week 1 win rather than a Week 1 loss.
The bigger concern for me is how he was not hitting his WRs in stride. Knue and Beydoun are game breaking WR’s but for them to be successful he has to hit them in stride and in open space so they can use there speed. Hopefully we see improvements week 2. I was hoping we would get to see the back up QBs some I was surprised that Chrighton did not do that in the past he has not shied away from playing the back up Qbs for a couple plays.

Thanks for your support, Derek!
