MOBILE, Ala. — Dan Le-Fevour moved into second place on the career total yards list, accounted for two late touchdowns and scored one of his biggest victories in his last game by rallying No. 25 Central Michigan to a 44-41 double-overtime win over Troy in the GMAC Bowl on Wednesday night.
“I just tried to stay cool, tried to stay calm and collected,” LeFevour said. “I tried to show that aura to my team and let them believe in me.”
Antonio Brown started the rally with a 95-yard kickoff return. LeFevour followed with a touchdown pass to put the Chippewas (12-2) ahead with 1:17 left and scored from 13 yards out in the first overtime to set up Andrew Aguila’s winning 37-yard field goal. Vince Agnew blocked Michael Taylor’s attempted 31-yard field goal to start the second overtime.
LeFevour finished 33-of-55 passing for 395 yards. He completed his career with 15,853 total yards, trailing only former Hawaii quarterback Timmy Chang (16,910).
“For a lot of seniors,” Le-Fevour said, “this will be the last time they play football. We wanted to end it the right way.”
