The Western Michigan Broncos are expecting an elite crowd for tonight’s Mid-American Conference football championship game at Ford Field.
Western Michigan athletic director Kathy Beauregard said the tickets sold for the game between No.14 Western Michigan (12-0) and Ohio (8-4) are “46,000 and counting.” That’s a number that would shatter the previous record for a MAC title game.

“It’s just going to be a dream come true,” Beauregard said. “Right now we know that we have sold over 46,000 and counting.”
“They already closed this,” Beauregard said, pointing to the lower bowl before Western Michigan practiced on the field Thursday.
Beauregard wouldn’t speculate how many WMU fans would be coming.
“The Detroit area/southeast Michigan is our largest alumni population,” Beauregard said. “And the largest number of our students come from this side of the state.

“We are a very special team right now. You know I’ve spent my entire career at Western Michigan and in that time we’ve had some wonderful history. But the impact that this team and the leadership under coach (P.J) Fleck… I don’t know of a time when it’s been more energizing.”
Beauregard said the streets in downtown Kalamazoo were full as the Broncos left for Ford Field.
Fleck said it’s a special year.
“Pulling out of Kalamazoo and having the whole street lined with our city was very powerful,” Fleck said. “I was even informed there was one guy who ran out of the woods on 94, exit 82, literally out of the woods with a Western Michigan flag.
“There’s a guy in the woods with a Western Michigan flag. Just be aware of that.”

Central Michigan football was the Cinderella story of the Mid-American Conference this season.
But it was the Miami RedHawks who came away with the win in front of 22,247 fans at Ford Field on Saturday.
Miami proved itself as the top team from a wild MAC season by holding off the upstart Chippewas, 26-21, in the conference championship game.
With the victory, Miami (8-5, 7-2 MAC) captured its conference-leading 16th MAC title in program history and the first under seventh-year head coach Chuck Martin.
Central Michigan (8-5, 6-3) heads into the bowl season after posting the biggest turnaround in program history with a seven-win improvement that leads all of the FBS.

Nancy drew pc games for mac. Here are five takeaways from the game:
The big play
Trailing 20-14 in the fourth quarter, Central Michigan was driving deep into Miami territory when RedHawks’ senior cornerback Travion Banks intercepted Chippewas’ senior quarterback Quinten Dormady and returned it for a score.
However, an illegal block in the back took the points off the board and moved the ball back into Miami territory.
From there, the RedHawks ground out a 10-play, 59-yard drive capped off by a 48-yard field goal by Sam Sloman that gave Miami a 23-14 advantage.
Perhaps just as important as making it a two-score game, the drive ate up 6:01 of valuable clock time.
Special RedHawks
It was hard to imagine a better start for the RedHawks.
Senior returner Maurice Thomas opened the game with the longest kick return in MAC Championship history when he returned the ball 98 yards out of his own endzone. That set up a 1-yard touchdown run from junior running back Jaylon Bester to help give Miami a 7-0 lead in a little over a minute of action.
After the initial punch to the mouth, CMU settled in.
The Chippewas defense limited the RedHawks to a couple of first downs in the opening half. But Miami cashed in three more points on the strength of special teams.
In the second quarter, Sloman drove home a 41 field goal set up by the RedHawks defense, which sniffed out CMU's fake punt attempt inside the Chippewas 20-yard-line.

Sloman added field goals of 42 and 48 yards, the latter sealing the victory with 28 seconds left in regulation. He was tabbed the game’s Special Teams MVP.
“I was just ready for the last 30 seconds to be over,” Sloman said of his final field goal. “We’ve got a great team and everybody does their job. I don’t think people realize how important a snapper and holder are, or how important the o-line and wings really are. They do their job every time and make it really easy for me. I know when I go out there I will have an easy setup and it’s like kicking off the sticks.”
Defensive showdown
In a game featuring two of the top three defenses in the MAC, it came as little surprise that either offense struggled to move the ball.
Miami finished with 272 yards of total offense, led by receiver Jack Sorenson who earned the game’s Offensive MVP honor with eight receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown.
RedHawks linebacker Emmanuel Rugamba had 11 tackles and a pass breakup to earn Defensive MVP honors.
Central Michigan had 335 yards of total offense, with Dormady finishing 26 of 41 for 232 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Chips fight to the end
Central Michigan’s offense was largely conservative in the contest, but the Chippewas found ways to keep the game close.
Trailing by two scores with 1:24 to play, change-of-pace senior quarterback Tony Lazzaro plunged in for a 4-yard touchdown. The score capped off a nine-play drive that spanned 75 yards, and cut Miami’s lead to two.
Lazzaro finished with a team-high 48 rushing yards and two touchdowns on six carries.

CMU recovered the ensuing onside kick, but it was negated by an offsides penalty. Then after Miami capped off the scoring, the Chippewas drove to midfield where Dormady launched a Hail Mary pass that fell incomplete in the end zone as time expired.

“I know one thing, as I told the guys in the locker room, I have probably never been more proud of a group that I’ve been associated with in my coaching career,” said CMU head coach Jim McElwain. “What they have set themselves up to do and what they did – short of amazing.”
