Savage Defense Leads Chips, 34-7, Over Rockets

Mt Pleasant, MI - In their toughest challenge of the young season, the Central Michigan Chippewas (2-1) played host to the Toledo Rockets in what many MAC followers expected to be a barn-burner. Surprisingly, it was a lopsided aware that was marked by CMU's "savage defense" -- as Coach Boyd later put it -- which disrupted Toledo's offense the entire game. CMU held the Rockets to a remarkable 88 total yards and forced two turnovers en route to a 34-7 blowout.

"We really controlled the clock," Central Michigan Head Coach Jonathan Boyd said. "We doubled their time of possession."

CMU's QB Cody Kater played a clean, mistake-free game of football, throwing for 185 yards and two scores. Defensive star Dennis Nalor record 5 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and an interception. CMU outgained Toledo 310 to 88 in total offense, and recorded triple the first downs. It was, by all measures, a complete drubbing.

"Altogether, our best win yet," said Coach Boyd. "I can't think of a better way to spend my Saturday."

CMU will head to North Carolina next week to take-on #23 NC State.
