YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) - B-Dawg has seen enough. His fragile nerves can take only so much.

After beating his head against the wall with pretty much the same sliders since the middle of last season, he's waving the white flag.

By no means should anyone expect to see Eastern Michigan reel off five straight blowout victories to end the season and contend for the national championship next year, but slider relief is on the way following the Hurons' putrid performance in a 42-17 loss to Northern Illinois on Oct. 18, 2008.

"I've seen enough," B-Dawg said. "My fragile nerves can take only so much."

It wasn't so much the lopsided loss, but the way it happened. In part because of a single camera angle that caters to wide-screen TV's, in part because of low-grade talent and in part because - let's face it - B-Dawg just plains sucks, the interceptions continue to flow with no sign of letting up.

Tyler Jones threw four more interceptions in an otherwise fairly accurate performance, as he was 22-for-34 for 240 yards and no touchdowns.

Jones' tally is as ugly as you'll ever see. He has thrown only two touchdown passes and 16 interceptions this season. In his two years with B-Dawg at the sticks, Jones has seven touchdown passes against 35 interceptions. Because he's become a defender so many times following turnovers, Jones actually has more tackles (3) this season than touchdown passes (2).

"As everyone knows, I'm all about street cred," B-Dawg said. "I live by the motto, 'There are no tough losses, only tough wins.' I often feel better about my losses, because it gives this 'nasty some credibility when they get posted. Nobody wants to read about Eastern Michigan's two-year rise to the national championship on the heels of back-to-back 13-0 seasons. As much as anybody, I believe that when you roll with a team like Eastern Michigan, you need to be prepared to take some lumps.

"However, I have to be protective of my sanity. I have to make sure that I'm around to see the fruits of my labor. At the rate this thing is going, this dynasty is on a fast track toward an early grave, much like my NCAA 2006 Western Michigan 'nasty. No matter how bad a team you have, I think anybody can agree that seven touchdown passes and 35 interceptions does not pass the realism test and that I can legitimately seek some help."

B-Dawg's new sliders take into account that the single wide-screen camera angle is contributing to much of his passing woes, given the fact he's got a standard television. The CPU interception slider was already at zero, resulting in numerous dropped picks that would otherwise have made the numbers even more deplorable. The CPU defensive awareness will drop from 100 percent to 80 percent, because a large portion of the interception equation is a defense reading the play correctly.

B-Dawg's passing sliders will get a boost to numbers he normally wouldn't use except for the camera issue. Quarterback accuracy, wide receiver catching and pass blocking will all increase from 50 percent to 75 percent. Fewer errant passes, fewer drops and more time to pass should offset some of the craziness.

"We have to counteract the camera angle crap as much as we have to account for the way the game plays," B-Dawg said.

This by no means suggests that EMU will be on the fast track to success.

"It comes back to street cred," B-Dawg said. "If we start winning too often, we'll make other changes. Right now, our running game is awful, but I'll leave it as-is and just allow recruiting to work its magic."

B-Dawg also increased his own team's tackling slider from 40 to 60 percent after Montell Clanton made the Hurons his personal biatches.

Clanton had vengence in mind after suffering an abdominal tear last year in a 20-13 loss to Eastern Michigan. The injury cost him seven weeks. Clanton got what he came for, running 27 times for 161 yards and five touchdowns, while catching two passes for 31 yards. He had 10 broken tackles and 141 yards after contact.

"That can't persist," B-Dawg said. "It seems almost automatic that if one of our defenders gets to a running back in the backfield that he's going to miss."

Clanton kept the Hurons (2-6, 1-4 MAC)) at arm's length the entire game. His first two touchdown runs gave the Huskies (6-2, 4-0 MAC) a 13-0 lead in the first quarter. Eastern Michigan chipped away to within 20-10 late in the first half and 29-17 through three quarters, but two runs by Clanton in the fourth quarter put the game away.

Defensive tackle Brandon Slater blocked two extra points, becoming the third B-Dawg player ever to do so. In B-Dawg's NCAA 2007 Vanderbilt dynasty, cornerback Albert Pruitt had two blocks at Mississippi on Oct. 27, 2012 and middle linebacker Ulysses Heckel had two at Georgia on Nov. 17, 2012.

The Hurons had to know this wasn't their day when they fumbled twice on the same play with 5:36 left in the first quarter. Fullback Brandon Downs fumbled the ball, but center Desi Mayner picked it up and started plodding his way downfield. He had the ball jarred loose on a hit by Larry English and the ball was recovered by Craig Rusch of Northern Illinois.

On the next play, Clanton broke off a 31-yard run to open the scoring.
