Central Michigan Defeats Western Michigan, 45-7

Kalamazoo, MI -- In a frigid, snowy game, the hottest rivalry in the MAC lit up the night.

In a devastating display of offensive firepower, the Chippewas ripped apart their rival's defense. The snow was not enough to slow down CMU's surprisingly high-octane attack. The disparity between total offense? 475 yards to 183 in Central's favor. Cody Kater accounted for 2 touchdowns while the running back tandem of Zurlon Tipton and Saylor Lavallii accounted for 268 yards and 3 touchdowns.

"We really got going out there," Coach Boyd said. "... once we got into a groove, and everything went as we had schemed."

The Chippewas' defense rose to the occasion to effectively silence their as-of-late criticism. Three turnovers -- two picks and a fumble -- helped pave the way for a blowout. A dominating defensive line sacked Western quarterback Tyler van Tubbergen five times.

CMU's victory raises their bowl chances. Next week, they take on U Mass.
