MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Third-year head coach John Bonamego is coming off back-to-back bowl appearances for his alma mater and will look to continue the Central Michigan football program streak of three consecutive bowl appearances. Last year, Bonamego witnessed his Chippewas finish with a 6-7 overall record, 3-5 for fifth place in the tough MAC West, and receive an invitation to the Miami Beach Bowl.

Bonamego has 42 letterwinners returning this season, including 17 starters (9 offense, 6 defense, 2 specialists). The Chippewas open the season by hosting Rhode Island on Aug.
