The “Factory” lights will be on Friday night as Eastern Michigan and Wyoming go to work in the Eagles final non-conference game.
It’s the second meeting between the two programs, who first battled last year in Laramie. Eastern Michigan . . . 

. . . won that encounter, 48-29, as Brogan Roback had a career day with 330 yards passing and three touchdowns. RB Shaq Vann also enjoyed a fine night with 129 yards rushing and two TDs.
 
Both teams are coming off wins. Eastern Michigan knocked off Charlotte, 37-17 on the road. Wyoming needed three overtimes to pull out a home win over another MAC school – Northern Illinois, 40-34.
