MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – You talk about the Central Michigan football team in 2016, you start with the quarterback, Cooper Rush.
Without question, the senior is among the very best in the Mid-American Conference and, in the admittedly biased eyes of second-year CMU coach John Bonamego, among the best in the country.
How good Rush is and where he rates where it counts, on the field, will play itself out beginning with the Chippewas’ opener on Sept. 1 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium against Presbyterian.
What will certainly help Rush is a complementary run game, and improvement in that department has been a major point of emphasis, beginning with spring practice.
