The Eastern Michigan Eagles and Central Michigan Chippewas face off on Saturday in a Week 5 college football showdown at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Eastern Michigan Looks for Some Offense

The Eastern Michigan offense hasn’t been good enough this season and when they have struggled it’s been the lack of scoring. In the last game against Jacksonville State the defense gave up only 21 points, but the offense failed to get on the board. Quarterback Austin Smith wasn’t good enough completing 6 of his 11 passes for 53 yards and a touchdown. Overall this season Eastern Michigan is averaging 14.5 points while their defense is giving up 21.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 131st while the defense is ranked 54th.

Central Michigan Looks for Third Win

Central Michigan has played a tough schedule to start the season and their two losses came against power five teams. In the last game against South Alabama, Central Michigan scored 34 points and that was enough to secure the four-point victory. Central Michigan actually fell behind 14-0 after the 1st quarter, but they fought back and were able to secure the win. Jase Bauer completed 19 of his 30 passes for 224 yards and a touchdown.

Shane’s Free Pick

Eastern Michigan’s offense is a major problem and it’s something that gives me great concern heading into this game. In the last game Eastern Michigan scored zero points in the last game and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going again here. Jase Bauer threw for a touchdown in the last game and he’s going to have another strong game again here. Back Central Michigan against the spread.
