Noah Kim’s sizzling debut is a promising sign for Eastern Michigan’s season

Ypsilanti — Noah Kim was seeing the matrix Saturday night. 

In a sterling performance that helped guide his Eastern Michigan squad to a season opening win, Kim never faltered, looked flustered or flailed around with the ball in his hands. From communicating calls with his offensive line to deftly navigating pressure — both with subtler pocket movements and the ability to bail out entirely — and hardly ever looking unsure where to go with the ball on dropbacks, Kim helped the Eagles eventually sauté the Sacramento State defense in a 28-17 win.
