WMU coach Tim Lester turns to Chicago Bears for two-point play inspiration

KALAMAZOO, MI - Western Michigan's Tim Lester didn't expect the two-point conversion section of his playbook to need a makeover midway through the season, but seven-overtime games will do that to a coach.

Forced to attempt two-point conversions instead of extra points after the second overtime period per NCAA rules, Western Michigan went 1 of 3 on two-point plays against Buffalo in the Broncos' 71-68 win Saturday.
