Woodruff said he expects this year to be the first step in making a habit out of EMU s football teams sporting winning seasons. And certainly with the resources we have and the facilities and so forth, there s no reason why we can t establish a tradition. The first thing you will notice is the discipline and organization on the field. Those were the first things the players noticed. The expectations have been raised and we have demanded a lot more from the players.
