MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – They received a hero’s welcome upon their return to Mount Pleasant on Saturday night. John Bonamego didn’t get a wink of sleep. The text messages and interview requests continued to stream in early Sunday afternoon.

It was back to business on Sunday for the Central Michigan football team, less than 24 hours after its 30-27 upset of No. 22-ranked Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla.
“It’s time to hit the re-set button and get to work on UNLV,” said John Bonamego, CMU’s second-year coach who was visibly worn but on a yet-to-land high on Sunday afternoon while sitting in his office at the CMU Indoor Athletic Complex, his players working out in the weight room some 20 yards down the hallway.
