Noah Kim's 3 touchdowns lead Eastern Michigan to 28-17 win over Sacramento State

YPSILANTI, Mich. -- , Noah Kim threw for two touchdowns and ran for another to lead Eastern Michigan past Sacramento State 28-17 in a season and Mid-American Conference opener on Saturday night. The win marked the Eagles’ 500th victory as they opened their 135th season. The game was Sacramento State’s debut in the Football Bowl Subdivision and the first for Alonzo Carter as their head coach. The Hornets are a MAC member in football and have joined the Big West Conference in all other sports. Kim completed 27 of 38 passes for 279 yards. Sacramento State's Carson Conklin went 25-for-46 for 221 yards and was intercepted once. Although the first quarter was scoreless, the Eagles had driven to the Sac State 6-yard line at the end of the period. At the other end of the field, they finished off their nine-play, 79-yard drive after Kim scored on a 5-yard run.
