JaJuan Jones was then called for consecutive interference penalties before D’Shawntae Jones’ winning run.

Miami led 14-10 after Heavner’s 7-yard TD toss to Damarion Witten with 20 seconds left in the first half. Justin Taylor gave the lead back to Central Michigan (3-5, 1-3) with a 46-yard pick-6 early in second half. Heavner dropped back before finding a hole up the middle for a 27-yard TD run before the Chippewas again took the lead 24-21 on Jadyn Glasser’s 9-yard TD pass to Langston Lewis in the third quarter’s final minute.
