Third MAC title in four years for Chippewas
DETROIT (AP) -- Dan LeFevour had a pair of record-breaking touchdown passes in the first half and Central Michigan beat Ohio 20-10 on Friday night for the Mid-American Conference championship.
LeFevour set a major college football mark for combined touchdowns passing, rushing and receiving in the first quarter with his 147th.
He threw for another score late in the first half to break Chad Pennington's MAC record and give the Chippewas a 17-7 lead.
Central Michigan didn't do much offensively after halftime, but held on to win the conference title for the third time in four years and MAC-best seventh since 1975.
The Chippewas (11-2) are expected to play in GMAC Bowl.
Ohio (9-4) likely will make a return trip to Detroit for the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.
