The Central Michigan Chippewas (1-3) sought to upset the 14th-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten Conference) on the road on Saturday afternoon, briefly giving the assembled 106,624 homestanding fans a scare, but ultimately made too many self-inflicted mistakes, giving up four turnovers and a turnover-on-downs en route to a 33-14 loss in State College, Pennsylvania.
CMU once again had a tough start out of the gate, going three-and-out on their first possession, then giving up a nine-play, 56-yard touchdown drive on a Sean Clifford pass to WKU transfer Mitchell Tinsley to go down 7-0 early on.
