KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) — Hayden Wolff threw for 333 yards and three touchdowns and Western Michigan continued its push for bowl eligibility by beating Central Michigan 38-28 in a back-and-forth game on Tuesday night.
Western Michigan (4-6, 3-3 Mid-American Conference) has won consecutive games for the first time this season. The Broncos led 21-7 at halftime before Central Michigan (5-5, 3-3) scored three touchdowns in the third quarter for a 28-21 advantage.
The Broncos reestablished control with a 17-point fourth and held Central Michigan scoreless. Jalen Buckley’s 52-yard touchdown run pulled Western Michigan into a 28-all tie with 8:53 remaining.
On the first play of the Chippewas’ following drive, WMU’s Aaron Wofford recovered Marion Lukes’ fumble after his 17-yard run. On the second play of the Broncos’ ensuing drive, Wolff threw a 41-yard scoring pass to Leroy Thomas with 7:51 left. Palmer Domschke’s 27-yard field goal with 1:37 left sealed it.
