YPSILANTI – To win its opener against Buffalo last Thursday, the Eastern Michigan football team needed, and received, contributions from all three units.

"It was a great win from a unity perspective," head coach Jeff Genyk said Tuesday. "To have a game like that where the offense picked up the defense, and the defense picked up the offense, and the special teams created a long field (for Buffalo's offense), was very impressive and it was great for the kids. It's a tremendous building block."

YPSILANTI – At his weekly media luncheon Monday, Eastern Michigan head coach Jeff Genyk reduced all preseason preparations into a simple statement.

"The hay is in the barn. We've just got to see how we perform in a game," Genyk said.

Since he was hired December 1, Genyk has installed a new staff, new offensive and defensive systems, recruited a slew of new players, and run both spring and fall practice camps. Thursday night, the Eagles open the season at home against Buffalo (6:45 p.m. on 89.1, WEMU)

YPSILANTI – During Eastern Michigan's first full scrimmage since the April spring game, head coach Jeff Genyk learned a lot about a pair of supposed backups.

Sophomore quarterback Ken Bohnet turned in an efficient performance Thursday afternoon, providing Genyk some insurance if starter Matt Bohnet goes down.

"Ken had a very good scrimmage," Genyk said. "He graded out in the high 90s, and he was very aggressive."
