The MAC returned Wednesday night, and it didn’t disappoint during the Central Michigan vs. Ohio game.
With a little more than a minute left in the first half, the power went out in the stadium! That’s right, folks! In an FBS football game, the power just disappeared and the teams were sent to their locker rooms early. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Damn, 2020 sure does hit differently, my friends. We’re battling a pandemic, we’re watching a crazy election unfold and we can’t even keep the power on at football games.
Can literally anything go right this year, or are we destined for nonstop chaos?
Also, it definitely wouldn’t be the MAC if something crazy like this didn’t happen. At least it’s on brand for the conference’s return, which is always a positive.
Ohio and CMU’s power went out so they just went to halftime with 1 minutes left in the 2nd.

Luckily, the power eventually returned and Central Michigan beat Ohio 30-27. What a start for the MAC’s first week of football!
