    CMU will be the first to admit that the defense resembled last years all to much against Western. Western would have been better off sticking more to the run game which had some pretty good success. I don't think anyone can bad-mouth Tiller after his first awesome pass into the endzone.

    Hiller may have had nice numbers, but it was the costly interception he threw just prior to halftime that resulted in WMU losing the game. The additional score was a backbreaker for WMU and gave CMU all the momentum. Hiller is a great quarterback and he did put up great numbers at WMU. Unfortunately, at WMU and CMU you are remembered for how you did in that rivalry. His legacy is 0-4.

    CMU is on a roll. Ranked 31st in the AP and 29th in the Coaches Poll. Going to have to beat Boston College to crack the top 25 though. Regardless, it's nice to be bowl eligible with five regular season games to go.
