Junior running back Devon Spalding runs through a tackle during a game against Toledo on Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Glass Bowl.
John Bonamego said Saturday’s matchup against Toledo was a potential elimination game in the Mid-American Conference West Division.
Though the game started as a defensive struggle, Toledo handed Central Michigan a 31-17 defeat and its seventh straight against the Rockets.
The loss dropped CMU to 5-3 overall and 2-2 in the MAC West Division, essentially eliminating them from the division race with both Toledo and Western Michigan being undefeated.
“It was a hard fought game,” Bonamego said.
