It didn’t quite end the way the Central Michigan Chippewas (8-5, 6-2 MAC) probably wanted it to, but all considered, 2017 was a pretty great season for the young program.
The schedule promised a favorable non-conference slate and a gauntlet of a conference calendar, so to come out of the pile at 8-4 and in the hunt for the MAC West division title is pretty good for a Chippewa squad who had a lot of questions going into the season.
