MIDDLE TENNESSEE VS. CENTRAL MICHIGAN ESPN'S TAKE |
Central Michigan's Dan LeFevour proved why he ranks with Texas' Colt McCoy among the top freshman quarterbacks in the country. LeFevour's passing and running sparked the Chippewas in the first half of the Motor City Bowl. Middle Tennessee had a difficult time adjusting to CMU's speed on offense in the first half and the Blue Raider offense couldn't handle the pressure applied by Dan Bazuin and the rest of the Chippewas' defensive front. The Blue Raiders did a good job keeping the ball away from the Chips in the second half, but their big edge in time of possession didn't translate into points on the scoreboard. Interim coach Jeff Quinn did a nice job for the Chippewas. CMU was prepared and played hard for him. It's always good to see a coach come through in a tough situation. -- Jim Donnan
