Michigan & Central survive long enough to earn key victories

Wilton Speight came off the bench and threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jehu Chesson with under 5 minutes to play as the Michigan Wolverines stopped Mitch Leidner on a sneak as time expired to escape with a 29-26 victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers.  Chesson had three catches for 33 yards and two touchdowns.




Quarterback Cooper Rush threw two touchdown passes to help the Central Michigan Chippewas shut down the Akron Zips, 14-6.  Rush was 23-of-37 for 226 yards for CMU and wide receiver Anthony Rice had nine catches for 105 yards.
