YPSILANTI, Mich. -- Mathew Sexton blocked a punt and returned it 30 yards to score the winning touchdown with 10 seconds left and Eastern Michigan beat Central Connecticut 34-29 on Saturday.

The Blue Devils retook possession when Tre Jones intercepted Glass' pass with 1:23 left, but the Eastern Michigan defense forced a three-and-out to set up Sexton's big play.
Winchester threw for 231 yards and a touchdown for the Blue Devils.
A Northeast Conference team has never defeated an FBS program.
