Central Michigan Beats Kent State 28-16 to Keep MAC Title Hopes Alive

The win moves the Chippewas to 7-4 overall and 5-2 in the MAC.

Overview

  • Joe Labas threw two touchdown passes and Brock Townsend ran for two scores as Central Michigan won on the road at Dix Stadium.
  • Wayne Harris sparked Kent State with a 59-yard punt return touchdown, and Dru DeShields added a late 10-yard rushing score.
  • Central Michigan has won four of its last five and now closes the regular season against Toledo with outside help still needed for a championship berth.
  • Kent State fell to 4-7 (3-4 MAC) and is no longer assured of a postseason bid with one game remaining against Northern Illinois.
  • The 44-point total landed under the 50.5 betting number, aligning with the SportsLine model’s projection of the Under.
