Central Michigan has the privilege of representing the MAC in the Motor City Bowl for the second straight season

2007-12-10

Central Michigan has the privilege of representing the MAC in the Motor City Bowl for the second straight season, but will be facing a much higher caliber opponent this time around in Purdue. It will be a big step up from the ’06 matchup vs. SUn Belt foe MTSU, a game the Chippewas won easily, 31 & 14. This will actually be the second time they’ve faced the Boilermakers this season, and CMU will be looking for a different result from the 45 & 22 pasting that Purdue put on them at East Lafayette in September. In fact, overall in this series, Purdue has won and covered the L3 meetings, with an average point margin of 37.7 PPG. However, HC Joe Tiller’s team backs into this game off three straight season ending losses and has struggled in bowl games, going just 1 & 6 straight up AND 1 & 5 ATS in its L7.
