J. Darin Darst's Take
What a way to cap the last bowl for the national championship game! Honestly, I could watch four more overtimes of this battle. So many players had great games -- Dan LeFevour, Antonio Brown, Andrew Aguila, Levi Brown, DuJuan Harris, Jerrel Jernigan. I guess this is what you get when you have two conference champions play each other. Big win for the MAC, who was winless in bowl games before the GMAC.
 
Game Recap
Dan LeFevour put on one last show, Andrew Aguila kicked five field goals, including the 37-yard game-winner in double overtime, and No. 25 Central Michigan beat Troy 44-41 in the GMAC Bowl on Wednesday night. LeFevour had a touchdown pass to put the sluggish Chippewas (12-2) ahead with 1:17 left and scored from 13 yards out in the first overtime on the day he moved into second place in the Football Bowl Subdivision's career total yards list.

    Quotable
    "I just tried to stay cool, tried to stay calm and collected. I tried to show that aura to my team and let them believe in me."
          -- Central Michigan quarterback Dan LeFevour

    "I think Dan was a little uncomfortable most of the game, but he found a way to scramble and made plays. That's a tribute to him and their offensive unit."
          -- Troy coach Larry Blakeney
