WMU football redshirt freshman defensive end Marshawn Kneeland says the message to the team from head coach Tim Lester has been to “stay prepared” and “be ready.”
In light of Wednesday’s announcement from the Big Ten to bring football back on Oct. 23-24, a reversal of its initial decision, the message from Western Michigan football players is clear: They are ready to play this fall.
“Seeing the other Group of 5 players, watching them play and seeing how they came up with a way (to play) makes me confident that the MAC could come up with a way,” redshirt sophomore wide receiver Dashon Bussell said.
