Central Michigan Handles UMass Football
UMass (0-8, 0-4 Mid-American Conference) hasn’t won a game in nearly a calendar year, since a 35-7 win over Wagner on Oct.
Joe Labas threw two touchdown passes, Brock Townsend had a 51-yard TD reception and ran for two scores, and Central Michigan beat UMass, 38-13, on Saturday to extend the Minutemen’s losing streak to 12 games.
- Townsend scored on first-quarter runs of 1 and 5 yards.
- Angel Flores ran for a 9-yard touchdown that gave Central Michigan (5-3, 3-1) a 21-3 lead going into the second.
- Townsend caught a short pass and broke a pair of would-be tackles as he raced to the end zone to make it 31-10 less than two minutes into the second half.
- An interception by Kalen Carroll gave Central Michigan the ball at its own 42 and Labas threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Nasir Williams that gave the Chippewas a 28-point lead with 7:50 to go in the third quarter.
Its next shot to break the streak comes Tuesday, Nov.
