KALAMAZOO (WKZO) — WMU held off a late charge by the rival CMU Chippewa’s to hang on to a 41 to 39 victory, and retain the Cannon Trophy for another year.
The Broncos have dominated the series lately, winning four of the last five games against CMU, but the games have rarely been this high scoring.

WMU are now 1-0 in MAC play.
Next weekend they travel to Ohio University to play the Bobcats.

PISCATAWAY, NEW JERSEY (WKZO) — The Michigan State Spartans remain undefeated but it took them all four quarters yesterday to beat the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers in New Jersey, and then only because they were able to pull it out in the last 43-seconds with a short run by L.J. Scott, 31 to 24.
MSU QB Connor Cook made 23 of 38 passes for 357 yards, his highest total yardage so far this fall.
