The LendingTree Bowl is bowl number four on the Saturday slate of games. This matchup is between Eastern Michigan (7-5) and Liberty (7-5). We got the MAC going up against an FBS Independent school. This is a big game for Malik Willis, I wish he got to play in a bigger bowl game before he heads off to the NFL Draft, but this will have to do unfortunately. With that being said here is my preview for the LendingTree Bowl.
Eastern Michigan
Eastern Michigan has won three out of their last five games. Former Cincinnati quarterback Ben Bryant has been fantastic for the Eagles this season. Throwing for over 2,900 passing yards to go with 14 passing touchdowns to 6 interceptions. This Eastern Michigan team has things going for them. For starters they are ranked number one in the nation when it comes to fewest penalties. They don’t beat themselves which means that they are really in control of their own destiny for the most part. However, with the lack of running game that this offense has it is going to be tough to hang with the likes of Malik Willis.
Now I understand the struggle that Liberty has had for the second half of the season, but this Eastern Michigan team doesn’t force a lot of turnovers. In games this season that Eastern Michigan has forced two or more they are 5-0. In the seven games that they haven’t, they have put together a 2-5 record which is not appealing to say the least. If Eastern Michigan can keep Willis off the field and they continue to not hurt themselves, they should be in a good spot in this matchup.
