MIAMI – Morris Watts is in his sixth decade as a coach. A man gets that far into it, there are very few “firsts.”
But the 2016 Miami Beach Bowl is, indeed, a first for Watts, Central Michigan’s offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach. For the first time in Watts’ 50-plus years in coaching, he will face his alma mater, Tulsa.
The Chippewas (6-6) take on the Golden Hurricane (9-3) on Monday at 2:30 p.m. at Marlins Park. The game will be carried live on ESPN2.
Watts, 78, was a running back at Tulsa in the late 1950s, and earned his degree in 1961.
