Eleby and Eskridge connected on scores from 33 yards in the first half, and from 72 and 85 yards in the third quarter that stretched the Broncos' lead to 45-22 early in the third quarter.
Kobe Lewis broke loose for a 69-yard touchdown run to pull the Chippewas to 45-30. Eleby's 43-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Hall early in the fourth made it 52-30.
Daniel Richardson's 4-yard TD pass to Drayton Law for Central Michigan (2-1, 2-1) capped the scoring with 2:32 to play. Eskridge recovered the ensuing onside kick.
