http://www.easternecho.com After a 28-6 loss Saturday at Rynearson Stadium to Mid-American Conference opponent Kent State, Eastern Michigan coach Ron English said it was a difficult postgame locker room to step into. en-us Gryphon 2.3.1-dsw (pewabic)/Foundry5 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 10:23:36 -0400 webmaster@easternecho.com http://www.easternecho.com/index.php/comment/view/183 I have decided to let you all in on the secret to Eastern Michigan’s 2009 problem…Ken Karchner. Someone please tell my why this guy is so afraid to throw the football down field. The pro-style offense is rarely used any more. Teams in the M.A.C. Conference are far more advanced than this old way of moving the bll up field. It has not proven to be productive thus far and EMU can not score in the red zone. Ken broke the ONLY thing that EMU had going for itself last year…the offense. Ron English should seriously reconsider if he wants to keep his job. At least Genyk would have won by now.

When you keep running the same plays for no yardage I think you have to re-evaluate either your system, or change the scheme of the play. (blocking, pass routes, etc.) What also tends to prove your point, is look at Eastern’s ability to score, from a high of 24 points in the second game of the year, to 6 in this last outing.

My daughter graduated from Eastern and attended this game. She was just sick. Personally, I’m an Akron Zip and we both wanted an EMU win. (Akron and Kent is like oil and water). If this is any condolence the Zips are 1-5 this season with Syracuse this weekend. An Akron Zip Tue, 20 Oct 2009 10:23:36 -0400 http://www.easternecho.com/index.php/comment/view/188
