Bowling Green player Karl Brooks poked the ball free from Central Michigan running back Romello Ross, and his teammate, Kyle Junior, picked it up for a one-yard scoop and score.
Junior’s defensive score put the nail in the coffin, handing the Chippewas (1-10, 1-7 MAC) their first 10 loss season in program history, which dates back to 1896.
Led by coach John Bonamego, CMU was unable to keep up with the Falcons (2-8, 1-5 MAC) in a 24-13 loss on Nov. 10 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
The Chippewas have not won against a Division I Football Bowl Subdivision opponent in 351 days, while the Falcons snapped a 375-day FBS losing streak of their own with the 11-point victory on Saturday.
