With Mid-American Conference championship hopes all but gone, the Central Michigan football team is now focusing on a new goal to define its season.
The Chippewas entered Saturday’s game against Toledo hoping to stay in the MAC West Division race, but fell to the Rockets 31-17 on the road.
The Chippewas fell behind in the second half in large part due to a four-touchdown performance by Toledo’s junior receiver Cody Thompson.
Thompson hauled in two touchdown catches in the third quarter and put the game out of reach with two more in the fourth.
