Kent State Preview: Run Game At Core Of Win Streak

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Rome was not built in a day.

Nor is a potent offense.

When Central Michigan football coach John Bonamego announced that he had installed a spread, up-tempo offense prior to the 2017 season, he talked frequently about two requisites: patience and commitment.

That offense, most figured, would produce yards and points, primarily through the air. And certainly, the passing game has been effective – highly effective at times.

But it has been the Chippewas’ run game that has shined of late, leading to a three-game win streak and victories in four of their last five games.
