Tettleton lifts Ohio to 56-28 win over E. Michigan

YPSILANITI, Mich. -- It was only seconds after the opening kickoff that the Eastern Michigan football team found a fitting way to honor a fallen teammate. EMU's Tyler Allen returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown against Ohio Saturday at Rynearson Stadium. In doing so, he became the first Eagles player to record a return touchdown since Demarius Reed returned a punt for a score in 2011. Reed was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds early Friday morning in the hallway of an off-campus apartment building in what police said was an apparent robbery. His Eagles teammates took to the field a little more than 24 hours after learning of his death, in a 56-28 loss to Ohio that was part football game, part tribute in front of 3,237 fans that braved a cold rain.
