MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. - Presented an opportunity, Cooper Rush has shown a knack for delivering.
Rush, Central Michigan's senior quarterback, had just one scholarship offer when he was coming out of Lansing Catholic High School in 2012 despite having been one of the most prolific passers in state high school history.
He took it.
Rush started the 2013 season, his redshirt freshman year, third on the depth chart. An injury to the starter and ineffective play by the backup had the CMU coaches summoning Rush from the bullpen in the first half of just the second game of the season.
