Football head coach John Bonamego talks to the media on Nov. 3 in the Indoor Athletic Center.
In his first three years with the Central Michigan football program, senior defensive back Josh Cox had never beat Western Michigan.
On Wednesday, CMU topped the Broncos 35-28, scoring 21 unanswered points while allowing just seven the entire second half.
Cox didn't hesitate to say how much it meant to the team.
“It’s huge, for me and this group of seniors. It was a win we needed,” Cox said. “Games get bigger in November and I feel like to beat a team like Western (Michigan), it should catapult us in the right direction.”
