Games for September 26, 1992
----------------------------

Central Michigan 28, Toledo 9: Toledo should consider changing their nickname 
                               from the Rockets to the Rollercoasters.  After 
stuffing a Purdue offense which score 42 points agianst California, Toledo 
surrendered 195 yards on the fround to the Chippewas, including 104 by Brian 
Pruitt.  Joe Youngblood throw two touchdown passes to D.J. Reid and Boris 
Martysz returned an interception for a touchdown to lead Central to a victory 
in Mount Pleasant, Mich.

Ball State 19, Miami 9: Miami has shown defense this year, but seems to shoot 
                        itself in the foot with mistakes on offense.  The 
Cardinals took advantage of four Redskin fumbles and also tallied eight sacks 
for 48 yards.  Ball State jumped out to a 17-0 lead until Miami finally got on 
the board on a 33 yard field goal with 10:42 to play.  Neil Dougherty lead the 
Redskins on another scoring drive which culminated in him hitting Lakumba 
Wallace on a three yard pass for the touchdown with 3:57 to play.  Cardinal 
Bryant Branigan, however, sealed the fate of the Redskins when he sacked 
Dougherty for a safety with 22 seconds remaining in the game played in Muncie, 
Indiana.

Bowling Green 44, East Carolina 34: Bowling Green found some offense and 
                                    survived a 379 yard passing day by Pirate 
quarterback Michael Anderson.  Zeb Jackson score on two short runs for the 
Falcons and Gearge Johnson canned the victory when he returned an interception 
4 yards for a touchdown late in the game.  Erik White matched Anderson's two 
touchdown passes but only threw one interception to Anderson's three.  The win 
gave Bowling Green a 1-2 record out of the conference as they settle back into 
conference paly to defend their MAC title.  My question is, "How many fans 
missed the first half due to the game being moved up to accomodate President 
Bush's train trip?"

Western Michigan 19, Ohio 3: Bronco Quarterback Brad Tayles currently ranks
                             third in MAC history in carreer passing yardage,
but did some of his best work running the bal in this one.  Tayles scored
touchdowns on runs of 1 and 4 yards and Andre Wallace, a former walk-on, lead
teh Broncos in rushing with 170 yards.  The Bobcats managed only 73 yards
rushing as Western kept itself in the MAC hunt.

Kent 17, Eastern Michigan 14: Someone had to win this game, but it almost
                              didn't happen.  Kent kicker Mike Benzy missed on 
two short attempts and had a third blocked, but hit a 22 yard field goal with 
2:56 remaining in the game to give the Golden Flashes the victory in Ypsilanti 
Michigan.  Marcus Haywood lead the cause for Kent with 142 yards rushing and 
one touchdown.

My record this week:  3 -  2
My record this year: 17 - 11

Akron is idle.
