Bonamego could play true freshmen against Akron

Winning football games is still the main goal.

That's how Central Michigan head coach John Bonamego views his current situation, holding a 1-7 record this season. But that doesn't mean he isn't going to roll the dice from time-to-time with freshmen on the roster throughout the final four games.

Due to a new redshirt rule from the NCAA, athletes are allowed to play in up to four games and still qualify for a redshirt season, which permits them to maintain four full years of eligibility.

In the past, one game could lose a player a full season of eligibility.
