YPSILANTI — With quarterback Noah Kim still on the mend from an undisclosed injury and his status unclear for Eastern Michigan’s game vs. Central Michigan on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Ford Field, it could again be Brogan McCaughey starting.
And McCaughey (pronounced “Mc-kie,”) coming off a 27-of-39 for 197 yards, a touchdown and an interception performance where he led a pair of late game drives to nearly pull out a win on the road at Ohio, looks more than up to the task of taking on the starting job against CMU.
“For him to get this opportunity sort of out of nowhere, and taking advantage of it, I'm just, yeah, super, super proud of him,” EMU head coach Chris Creighton said on Wednesday during his weekly availability.
