Central Michigan lost starting QB Joe Labas to a season-ending injury in last week's loss to Ohio. Freshman Tyler Jefferson, with only 26 NCAA attempts, should get the call as the primary guy under center in this rivalry game. Except for the season-opening 66-10 win over Central Connecticut State, the Chippewas have fallen behind early in every game this season. It's homecoming in Ypsilanti. The Eagles have won their past three HC games and eight of their past 10 overall at Rynearson Stadium. Eastern ranks 15th nationally in turnover margin at 1.00 per game and sixth nationally in turnovers lost with only three.
