In what was arguably the biggest game in a generation for Eastern Michigan, the Eagles were outclassed. Syracuse won the 2012 GMAC Bowl in decisive fashion, shutting down everything Ace Journeyman threw at them and scoring 21 points off turnovers before the half. In the end, though, despite the 34 - 17 loss, this program has a lot to be proud of. Winning just zero games in 2009, nobody would have predicted a conference title appearance and back-to-back bowls in rising star Journeyman's first two seasons at the helm. However, many in Ypsilanti fear losing the hero of the day, as the school and the coach failed to hammer out the details of a contract renewal and representatives from Texas Tech were seen on campus. With a single season left in his contract at EMU, heat from interested programs across the nation, and unfinished business in the MAC, all we can do is wonder what will happen in the off-season.2011 Season - 9-5 (7-2)
