Central Michigan Cruises in Motor City
by
Ontario Sneed scored twice early and Doug Kress returned an interception for a touchdown on the opening possession of the second half Tuesday night, helping the Chippewas defeat Middle Tennessee State, 31-14, in the Motor City Bowl.
The victory was the first bowl win ever for Central Michigan.
Central Michigan (10-4) was led by interim Coach Jeff Quinn, who was promoted three weeks ago when Brian Kelly was wooed away by the Cincinnati Bearcats. The Chippewas lost the 1994 Las Vegas and 1990 California Raisin Bowls.
The Blue Raiders (7-6) played in a Division I-A bowl for the first time in their eighth season at college football’s highest level.

The game was great. The QB was totally on. They brought a real charge to Ford Field and the city.
