The Day After: 21 more thoughts on Washington's win over Eastern Michigan
What I'm thinking about on a September Sunday.
SEATTLE — Some 25 minutes after Washington had completed its 30-9 victory over Eastern Michigan, Jedd Fisch made clear that he was already aware of the wild day this wild sport produced.
“We obviously are very happy we came out on top. I quickly saw some scores out there, and it seems like the MAC had a good day today,” Fisch said, “and also pretty tough football games all around the board.”
Indeed, Northern Illinois knocking off No. 5 Notre Dame might clinch a pretty good season for the Mid-American Conference, which also sent Bowling Green into Happy Valley for a game Penn State didn’t put away until the fourth quarter.
Elsewhere, Iowa lost to Iowa State, and Boise State took Oregon to the wire in Eugene to end the night.
Sometimes, boring is better.
Here’s what else I’m thinking about on Sunday morning.
