Coaching a young team can be a blessing or a curse, mused Central Michigan football’s John Bonamego. For him and his staff, the 2018 team has been a gift – one poised with talent, grit and hunger.
“People (think) you just pick up where you left off last season. That’s just not the case,” Bonamego said. “I’ve seen a lot of improvement, but we aren’t done yet.”
The Chippewas leaned on starting quarterback Cooper Rush for four years. Just one year ago, the team was getting ready to send graduate transfer quarterback Shane Morris out on the field.
