CLEVELAND, Ohio. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan-Central Michigan football game, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 25, will kick off at 12 p.m. ET, the Mid-American Conference office confirmed today, Nov. 17. The game will be shown nationally on CBS Sports Network. WEMU (89.1 FM) and the Varsity Network app will provide audio coverage of the game from Rynearson Stadium.

The game will serve as Eastern's Senior Day, where the program will honor the 2022 Senior Class. Richard Bates Jr., Brandon Benson, Hassan Beydoun, Blake Bogan, Jordan Crawford, Dylan Drummond, Michael Foor, Gunnar Oakes, Taylor Powell, Jose Ramirez, Sidy Sow, Tariq Speights, Grant Trueman, Russell Vaden IV, and Jalen Weathers will take part in the festivities with their families.

The longest-running series between any two MAC schools returns, as EMU and CMU will meet on the gridiron for the 100th time in history between the two programs. The Chippewas hold the series lead, 63-30-6. Last year, Central led wire-to-wire in a 31-10 triumph at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, Nov. 26, 2020.

The Eagles and Chippewas will be vying for possession of the Michigan MAC Trophy. Given annually to one of the Michigan-based, Mid-American Conference institutions (EMU, WMU, CMU), the trophy is awarded to the team which has the best head-to-head record against each other. It is one of just two regularly-awarded trophies between three teams (the other is the Commander-in-Chief's trophy between Army, Navy, and Air Force).

Originating in 2005, EMU has claimed ownership of the award four times (2007, 2008, 2011, 2012). Eastern will take ownership of the trophy with a win, while Central will retain possession with a victory.
