Football stunned in final seconds by Eagles, drops to 6-6

With one play, Central Michigan football's season could be over.

A 24-yard touchdown pass with 21 seconds remaining gave Eastern Michigan a 26-21 victory and stole CMU's chance at a 7-5 regular season record. The Chippewas fall to 6-6 and 3-5 in Mid-American Conference play on the season.

CMU's six victories make the team bowl eligible, but does not guarantee a bowl game berth.

"We gave up too many big plays, but didn't make enough," head coach John Bonamego said following Tuesday's game. "I think we'll still get a bowl game and have one more chance to play together to have a winning season.
