SENIORS FINISH CAREER: The Eagles have a large contingent of 15 seniors making their final appearances for Eastern Michigan University in Saturday’s (Nov. 19) 2005 season finale at the University at Buffalo.
DESLAURIERS OUT TO BREAK THE TIE: EMU junior wide receiver Eric Deslauriers (Gatineau, Quebec, Canada) tied the EMU career record for touchdown receptions when he hauled in a 40-yard Matt Bohnet pass for a touchdown in the third quarter of last weekend’s one-point loss to Ball State (Nov. 12). The touchdown catch was Deslauriers’ 20th of his career tying him with current Cincinnati Bengals’ receiver Kevin Walter who had 20 touchdown receptions from 1999-2002. Deslauriers has now played in 33 games for the Eagles, and has recorded receptions in 22 straight games.
FIRST TRIP TO BUFFALO: EMU will be making its first trip to Buffalo Saturday (Nov. 19) when the Eagles and Bulls square off in a 1:30 p.m. Mid-American Conference matchup. EMU has a 2-0 lead in the series with both games played in Ypsilanti. Last year EMU came up with a late fourth-quarter score to secure a 37-34 win in the season opener, Sept. 2. The Eagles also hosted Buffalo in 2001, notching a 24-20 win, Oct. 27.
