Graduate transfer quarterback Shane Morris threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to senior Corey Willis with less than two minutes remaining to lift Central Michigan football over Northern Illinois on Friday in Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
Senior defensive back Josh Cox stole a goal-line interception to seal the win with under a minute left. NIU was driving down the field looking to tie the game in the final seconds.
“They ran the same play in the first half, and I knew when they got back in the red zone they would run the same play to try and score," Cox said.
