It was a tale of two games for Central Michigan on Saturday, as the Chippewas found themselves down early on against a 1-2 FIU team who was looking to catch CMU sleeping at home.
They did just that, forcing CMU into a 27-10 hole at the end of three quarters of play. It was the fourth quarter when the pace of the game changed, as the CMU offense posted 21 unanswered points and a game-saving interception to wipe away a 17-point Panthers lead and take home a win to move to 2-2.
It can’t be denied there were lessons learned from this game, both good and bad, which will affect the direction of the team moving forward.
