Central Michigan University Postgame Notes
Freshman tailback Ontario Sneed's 148 yards rushing are the most by a CMU running back in the first game of his freshman season. Sneed carried the ball 14 times and scored on an 80-yard run.
Another freshman, place kicker Rick Albreski, was 2-for-3 on field goals in his debut. He missed his first attempt from 40 yards but converted from 30 and 39 yards later in the contest.
CMU is now 4-2 in night games at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Friday night's loss snapped a four-game winning streak at night. The first instant replay of the season took place with 8:40 remaining in the third quarter.
An Indiana completion from Blake Powers to Jahkeen Gilmore was overturned after the replay official determined the pass had hit the ground.
Junior defensive back Pacino Horne, a transfer from Grand Rapids Community College, recorded the first interception of his CMU career. Sneed's 80-yard touchdown came on the next snap following Horne's interception in the end zone.
Isaac Brown was credited with the block of a Joe Kleinsmith extra point in the fourth quarter. CMU has now blocked a kick in four of the past six home games dating back to last season.
The loss snaps an eight-game winning streak in home openers for the Chippewas.
