CMU eyes share of MAC West on Senior Day

Related Topics: Mid-American Conference, Friday

There is plenty on the minds of the Central Michigan football team as it enters Friday’s regular-season finale at Kelly/Shorts Stadium against Northern Illinois.

Yes, it’s Senior Day, and 23 seniors will play their final game at home in a Chippewa uniform.

There is also the matter of a potential Mid-American Conference West Division championship. The Chippewas would capture a share of it, their second in three years, if they win and Toledo loses at home on Friday to Western Michigan.

And, perhaps most importantly, the opponent is NIU, which has been as good as any team in the MAC in the recent past, the 2016 season notwithstanding.
