Chippewas Continue Winning Ways, Clobber U Mass

Mt Pleasant, MI -- In front of a frenzied home crowd, the Central Michigan Chippewas poured on the offense against an outmatched Massachusetts team. U Mass was unable to get CMU's offense off the field when they needed to early, and the Chippewas offense took advantage of the opportunities that their defense afforded them en route to a 41-17 win.

A high-powered passing attack engineered by junior quarterback Cody Kater accounted for three touchdowns. Senior running back Zurlon Tipton carried the ball 32 times for a season-high 210 yards.

U Mass QB Mike Wegzyn tried to mount a third quarter rally after U Mass returned the second half kick-off, but his efforts proved as futile as his rushing game. Wegzyn's option runs accounted for an embarrassing -56 yards on 11 carries. This strategy was quickly abandoned and Wegzyn made more attempts air it out, but the deficit was too great to overcome.

"When we started getting it going," Wegyzn said after the game, "it was just too late. A real [expletive deleted]-show."

Coach Jonathan Boyd of Central Michigan was more enthusiastic, citing his team's dominating defensive showcase and yet another forty point game: "We stepped up. Plain and simple. I'm proud. Cody [Kater] was lights-out and .... the defense, we came to play."

CMU (7-4) finishes their season next week at home against Eastern Michigan on Senior Day.
