MAC roundup \ Wednesday’s games

Central Michigan 35, Ball State 3

MUNCIE, Ind. — Dan LeFevour threw four touchdown passes, ran for a fifth score and became the all-time leading passer in Mid-American Conference history as he led Central Michigan over Ball State. The senior quarterback ignored a steady rain to complete 25 of 28 passes for 344 yards for the Chippewas (8-2, 6-0) before taking a seat midway through the fourth quarter. He threw touchdown passes of 3 and 11 yards to tight end David Blackburn, 82 yards to Antonio Brown and 10 yards to Bryan Anderson. He also ran 1 yard for a 14-0 lead in the second quarter. LeFevour broke the MAC passing record of 11,903 yards established by Byron Leftwich of Marshall from 1999-2002. LeFevour, who completed 10 of his first 12 passes, was 14 of 17 for 210 yards in the first half. Ball State fell to 1-9, 1-5.

Buffalo 42, Miami (Ohio) 17

OXFORD, Ohio — Brandon Thermilus rushed for two touchdowns and caught another to lead Buffalo over Miami. Thermilus ran for 126 yards and caught a 29-yard touchdown on his only reception for the Bulls (4-7, 2-5 Mid-American Conference). Zach Maynard was 13-for-18 with 136 yards and a touchdown, and rushed for 61 yards and a score. Miami (1-11, 1-7) took a 3-0 advantage on Trevor Cook’s 37-yard field goal less than five minutes into the second quarter. It would be the last lead for the Redhawks. Buffalo scored four unanswered touchdowns from that point, as Thermilus scored from 3 and 31 yards out and Maynard added a 2-yard run for a 21-3 halftime lead. A 30-yard touchdown pass from wideout Terrell Jackson to Jesse Rack put Buffalo up 28-3 early in the third quarter. Zac Dysert threw for 194 yards with one touchdown and an interception for Miami.
