CMU’s offense 34 more total yards than MSU (196 to 162). LeFevour is 15-of-22 with 160 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception. 

MSU scored with ease on its two touchdown drives, but the Chippewas’ defense has played well for the rest of the game.

Offensively, CMU looks much-improved when compared to last week’s performance at Arizona. 

The offense already has 12 first downs, compared to just two first downs at the half in Tucson.

CMU coach Butch Jones made two gutsy calls. One came on fourth-and-two inside the red zone. LeFevour barely got the first down on a designed quarterback run.

The other call came on an Antonio Brown pass to Dan LeFevour. Brown came in motion across the line, took the hand off going left, and threw to LeFevour, who turned up field, for a 24-yard gain. 

It led to a 6-yard touchdown pass and the first CMU lead of the game (13-10).
