MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Corey Willis has been through some ups and some downs, and then some more ups at Central Michigan.

Same could be said for his two dozen or so fellow seniors on the Chippewa football team.

The diminutive and speedy Willis caught a 29-yard touchdown pass with just 1:31 remaining on Friday, giving the Chippewas a dramatic 31-24 come-from-behind victory at Kelly/Shorts Stadium over Northern Illinois in CMU’s final home game of the season.

The win was CMU’s fifth straight, it’s longest win streak since 2009.
