Now that the Central Michigan football team has captured some national attention, it proved to critics last week's shocking upset of a bigger school was not a fluke. The Chippewas also made a little history along the way.

Quarterback Cooper Rush and the Chippewas followed up last week's thrilling last-chance win over Oklahoma State with a 44-21 victory over the University of Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

A crowd of 19,922 watched CMU improve to 3-0 for the first time since 2002.
