KALAMAZOO, MI - Before he arrived in Kalamazoo, Western Michigan's Alex Grace was used to making plays with the football in his hands.

Saturday, the junior linebacker showed he can still make things happen when he gets his paws near the pigskin.

The former record-setting running back at Saginaw Swan Valley helped WMU capture its sixth consecutive win by collecting 11 tackles, a pass breakup and his first career interception in the Broncos' 35-10 victory against rival Central Michigan.

Grace's pick came on the heels of four consecutive punts from the WMU offense, while CMU was looking to get points on its third consecutive drive and put a dent it in its 21-10 deficit early in the fourth quarter.
