The Central Michigan Chippewas (6-6, 3-5 MAC) and Tulsa Golden Hurricane (9-3, 5-3 AAC) will take their talents to South Beach in a Monday afternoon matchup at Marlins Park for the 2016 rendition of the Miami Beach Bowl.
CMU comes into the game after a wild and rambunctious season that saw them beat Oklahoma State on a last-second Hail Mary heave, miss three field goals against Kent State at home in a loss and win a game on a one-handed, behind-the-back touchdown grab to attain bowl-eligibility against Ohio.
In their last game action, the Chippewas lost to rival Eastern Michigan on the road despite a furious comeback attempt in the fourth quarter, the first time CMU had lost to EMU since 2011.
