YPSILANTI, Mich. (Interstat) — Lindenwood will visit Eastern Michigan on Saturday for an NCAA Football Bowl Division game at Rynearson Stadium in Ypsilanti, Mich. The Lions are 1-2. The Eagles are 1-3. The forecast at game time calls for 66 degrees Fahrenheit.

Eastern Michigan will try to snap a three-game losing streak. The Eagles beat Sacramento State 28-17 before losses to San Jose State 27-21, Michigan State 35-7 and Wisconsin 54-10. In the most recent loss, quarterback Noah Kim completed 16 of 28 passes for 140 yards and one touchdown. Jace Stuckey completed both of his pass attempts for 14 yards and ran three times for 4 yards. Joey Mattord ran nine times for 36 yards. Kim is the player to watch for Eastern Michigan.

Lindenwood opened with a 20-17 home win over Charleston Southern, then lost 36-32 at Stony Brook and 48-14 at Missouri State. In the most recent game, Pops Battle, Noah Triplett and Jared Rhodes were among the Lions’ most productive players. Lindenwood will need those playmakers to help control possession and limit Eastern Michigan’s chances to build an early lead.

The matchup features a Lindenwood team seeking its second win against an Eastern Michigan squad playing its second straight home game. The Eagles have faced a demanding early schedule, including road games at Michigan State and Wisconsin. The Lions have already shown the ability to win a close game and will look to keep the score manageable on the road.

Eastern Michigan plays in the Mid-American Conference. The Eagles will aim to use home-field advantage before returning to conference play. The Lions will seek a signature road result.
