No one expected the 2015 season to happen the way that it did for the Central Michigan Chippewas.
The Chips had a first-year (and first-time) head coach in John Bonamego, they lost 51% of their total offense in Thomas Rawls and Titus Davis and on top of that, there was the simultaneous blows of a cancer diagnosis for Coach Bono that forced him to travel back and froth to Ann Arbor's University of Michigan Hospital every day and the death of beloved teammate Derrick Nash from Hodgkin's lymphoma.
In short, no one knew what was going to happen when they took the field.
