Up 28-21 with just under 11 minutes to go in the game, Central Michigan kicker Tristan Mattson trotted out to attempt a 46-yard field goal to put the Chippewas up by two scores on the road against their bitter rivals Western Michigan.
The kick attempt was set up on the prior play by a Jase Bauer rollout on a broken play, scampering forward for five yards to set up a fourth-and-three situation at the WMU 28-yard line.
Mattson’s kick started to the right, then curved left and short, bouncing off the corner of the front crossbar and left upright.
