MIAMI – The Central Michigan football team is seeking its first bowl win since 2012 when it takes on Tulsa Monday in the Miami Beach Bowl at Marlins Park.

Just one current Chippewa, defensive tackle Jabari Dean, appeared in CMU’s last bowl win, a 24-21 victory over Western Kentucky in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit.

Dean was a freshman then, and he recalled on Saturday what that win meant to the program in general and the senior class in particular.

“It was an amazing experience,” said Dean, a fifth-year senior and a Detroit native.
