If you came for good, clean fun and a rousing game of football, this probably wasn’t your jam. If you came to watch a wild grudgematch with questionable decision-making, a litany miscues and lots of pent-up animosity, it was right up your alley.
It was the Western Michigan Broncos (3-2, 1-0 MAC) who ultimately came on top at the end of the proceedings over the Central Michigan Chippewas (2-3, 1-1 MAC) by a final score of 31-15, though it wasn’t quite the blowout romp the scoreboard would indicate.
Both teams combined for 30 penalties (15 apiece) for 262 yards, with at least seven penalties for offsides, appriximately seven unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, approximately four holding calls and an ejection for targeting, which made for some unpredictable football.
