Kessinger's walk-off field goal pushes Eastern Michigan over Louisiana-Lafayette 34-31

Kim went 21 of 31 for 226 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception. Dontae McMillan ran for 126 yards on 19 carries and eclipsed 2,000 career yards rushing in the first quarter. Dunlap added 45 yards and two scores.
Perry led Louisiana-Lafayette with 110 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. Davis added 78 yards rushing. Daniel Beale threw for 217 yards but was intercepted twice.
