Running back Devon Spalding leads the CMU Marching Chips in the fight song after the Chippewas defeated Presbyterian, 49-3 on Sept. 1 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
Instead of Cooper Rush and the Central Michigan passing game leading the way, it was the rushing attack that carried the Chippewas during Thursday night’s season opener.
CMU finished with more rushing yards than passing yards and scored five touchdowns on the ground en route to a 49-3 victory over Presbyterian at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
“If you’re running the ball effectively, you don’t need to drop back and throw it as much,” said CMU head coach John Bonamego.
