  A new two-component model of the EMC effect based on Light-Front Holographic
QCD (LFHQCD) is presented. The model suggests the EMC effect is the result of
the nuclear potential breaking SU(6) symmetry. The model separates the $F_2^A$
nuclear structure function into two parts: a free contribution, involving the
addition of proton and neutron structure functions weighted by the number of
protons and neutrons respectively, and a nuclear/medium modified contribution
that involves a universal function for all nuceli. Further, the model displays
a connection with the correlation between the size of the EMC effect and the
SRC pair density, $a_2$ - extracted from kinematic plateaus at around $x$ > 1
in inclusive quasi-elastic (QE) scattering.
