A running back duo of sophomore Jonathan Ward and senior Devon Spalding has emerged three games into the season.
With a new spread offense being implemented in 2017, the one-two punch in Central Michigan's backfield has been able to pick it up and become the top rushers for the team.
After playing a full season together a year ago, Spalding and Ward have formed a bond on and off the field to keep their chemistry high.
Forming the Duo
“(Ward) has been able to help me stay competitive during the winter conditioning program, always testing me and my abilities,” Spalding said.
