Chippewas can’t rekindle Bahamas Bowl-magic in 21-14 loss to Minnesota

Minnesota players tackle CMU's Ben McCord during the game on Dec. 28, 2015 during the Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.

DETROIT — The Chippewas were more than 1,200 miles away from The Bahamas — the site of their 2014 bowl game. But just like last year, CMU found itself down seven points, looking for a desperation Hail Mary as the final seconds ticked off the clock.

Again, the Chippewas will head back to Mount Pleasant with a loss. But this year, junior quarterback Cooper Rush wasn’t even able to get off his pass from the CMU 30-yard line — in hopes of another late miracle.
