Davis ties single-game receiving touchdown mark in football's win over Miami (Ohio)
Central Michigan University’s senior wide receiver has earned endless praise for his performances on Saturday afternoons at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
What Titus Davis did during CMU’s 34-27 win against Miami (Ohio) only added to the league-wide applause.
“You can’t say anything else about him, there’s nothing left,” head coach Dan Enos said. “I tell the coaches every day to enjoy seniors like him. Enjoy him while we have him.”
Davis’ three touchdowns on eight receptions for 102 yards helped the Chippewas stay a step ahead of the RedHawks all afternoon long.
Three touchdowns are the most Davis has ever tallied in a single game during his time at CMU.
He caught nine touchdowns this season so far.
“I just wanted to come through for the team,” Davis said. “I didn’t care how I was going to do it. How many catches I had, how many touchdowns I had, I just wanted to come out with the win.”
Before the game, Enos made sure Davis and the other senior Chippewa leaders understood the importance of Saturday’s clash with Miami.
“Coach (Enos) was talking about how it was the biggest game of the season so far. We needed it,” Davis said.
No one was happier than Davis when true freshman Devon Spalding ran for 51 yards on one of his two touchdowns. Davis applied a crucial block down the field on the play.
“I love blocking, he said. “Anytime I throw a touchdown block, I’m going to sell out for the team because I love it.”
Spalding boasted about his senior leaders’ multi-faceted offensive abilities.
“You all saw Titus on that run,” Spalding said. “Dang near broke the guy’s leg out there.”
Davis and the Chippewas prepare of the final game of the regular season against Western Michigan University next weekend.
“It will be my last at Kelly/Shorts so it’s very bittersweet,” Davis said. “We’re excited for it.”
