Champions of the MAC! CMU 34, KSU 7

Detroit, MI - The champions of the Mid-American Conference have been crowned for the 2013 college football season!

Central Michigan came into the MAC Championship as seven-point underdogs and emerged as twenty-seven-point victors. CMU's offense exploded for 484 combined yards and their staunch defense returned to form to hold the Golden Flashes to under 200 yards offensively.

"We got off the ball quick," Coach Boyd said. "We never looked back, really. It was one of those games where things seemed to click. We got some good breaks and we took advantage of them."

Solid execution by QB Cody Kater, who went 18/24 for 195 yards with two scores and one interception, came into play when it mattered early, but it was the rushing attack of the Chippewas that carried the day. 192 yards and 2 TDs by Zurlon Tipton were coupled with 100 yards and a score by Saylor Lavallii to decimate the Kent State rush defense.

With the win, CMU picks up their eighth MAC Championship. It was a fitting conclusion to a rollercoaster season for their rookie head coach, Jack Boyd, who sounded choked up when he accepted the MAC Trophy following the blow-out win.

"We really... this symbolizes a year of hard work for everyone here. I can't think of a better gift to our seniors and our fans," he said in the post-game presentation.

CMU (9-4) will face the University of Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajins in the GoDaddy.com Bowl.
