A N ew Era of
CMU Football
T
o all of our new students, welcome to Central Michigan University. For those of you returning to campus, welcome back. I am McKenzie Sanderson, the Sports Editor at Central Michigan Life. In this special edition, my team of reporters and I present a season preview of your CMU football team, packed with inside stories we designed to give you an idea of what to expect this football season. If you read today’s editorial, you will see why this season in particular is one to be fired up about. As John Bonamego enters his third year as head coach, there are many changes on the horizon.
McKenzie Sanderson Sports Editor
We still don’t know who the starting quarterback will be, but we sat down with the two potential candidates. You can read about them in this edition. We have a new spread offense, instilled by a new offensive coordinator who was named to the coaching staff last spring. You can read about that in this edition. There are more than 20 senior veterans on the roster this year. Some of those players
had outstanding seasons last year and they can’t wait to play in front of you — their fans — this Thursday. My staff and I dedicate this edition of Central Michigan Life to our student-athletes, CMU football fans and most importantly you — our fellow students. The sports desk will keep bringing you coverage on this football season, as well as the five other teams opening their seasons this fall. Stay tuned.

B AT T L E O F T H E RACE TO REP Redshirt freshman, grad transfer from Michigan will both see playing time in season opener By McKenzie Sanderson Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com
With Central Michigan’s previous starting quarterback now completing preseason passes for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys and the Chippewas season opener set for Aug. 31, the question remains — who will replace Cooper Rush? The competition has come down to redshirt freshman Tony Poljan and graduate transfer student Shane Morris. Redshirt freshman Austin Hergott and junior Tommy Lazzaro are also battling for the starting job. Head coach John Bonamego said the timetable for naming CMU’s starting quarterback is still to be determined until after the season opener against Rhode Island on Aug. 31 at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium. “Shane has the desperation of a guy (who) is in his final year of college football. Tony is an intensely competitive kid,” Bonamego said. “Overall, I’m pleased with where we’re at in that position.” The goal for Thursday’s home opener is to give both quarterbacks the chance to play in live action rather than playing against each other and their teammates, Bonamego said.
FUTURE OF THE PROGRAM At 6-foot-7, Poljan was the standout of Tony Poljan
Bonamego’s first recruiting class in 2016. He entered CMU as a true freshman after graduating from Lansing Catholic High School — the same program that produced Rush — with more than 9,000 career passing yards and 116 touchdown passes. Poljan spent the 2016 season as one of Rush’s backups, along with redshirt freshman Austin Hergott and junior Tommy Lazzaro. With Morris on the roster for just one season, Bonamego openly admits he is building the program around Poljan. “Tony is the future of this program,” Bonamego said. “He has not disappointed in any way academically (or) as a leader. He’s always the first one in the weight room. He is as competitive as anyone you’ll ever be around.”
LAST CHANCE Morris took a different route to CMU. Coming out of De La Salle High School in Warren, the left-handed Morris signed with the University of Michigan in 2013. His time in Ann Arbor didn’t live up the standard he set for his football career, but Morris said he has no regrets. He earned a bachelor’s degree in sports management from Michigan in April and is enrolled in graduate school at CMU studying project management. Before visiting campus, Morris had ties with CMU through former teammates and

QUARTERBACKS PLACE RUSH coaches. His roommate, cornerback Josh Cox, played alongside him at De La Salle. His high school coach, Paul Verska, serves as a special assistant on Bonmego’s staff and convinced Morris to visit CMU last spring. “Knowing a lot of people definitely kept me interested,” Morris said. “When I got here, I really enjoyed the campus, the coaches and everything about the (football) program. I knew this is where I wanted to spend my last year playing football. It’s a good opportunity for me. I’m happy I decided to come here.” There are significant differences for Morris, switching from a Big 10 Conference school to the Mid-American Conference, but the welcome from his teammates made the adjustment a lot easier. He highlighted the wide receivers he’s worked with so far like seniors Corey Willis and Mark Chapman, as well as sophomore Brandon Childress. He also praised the talent of the offensive line, which returns five starters from the 2016 season. “Having pretty much the whole offense coming back is experience you can’t really beat,” Morris said. “I can really feel this team wants to be great and we really want to do something special. It’s exciting to be around.”
HEALTHY COMPETITION Bonamego said the battle between Morris and Poljan is split equally in regards to talent. He added the competition between the two quarterbacks has been a healthy one, with both players helping and supporting each other. “Those two going at it in that position has really raised the level of everybody’s game on both sides of the ball,” Bonamego said.
A prominent change all the quarterbacks and the rest of the team has adjusted to during training camp is the new spread offense. Instilled by first-year offensive coordinator Chris Ostrowsky, the spread offense replaces the pro-style set the Chippewas used in previous seasons. “Both (quarterbacks) bring a unique skillset in regards to executing the system,” Ostrowsky said. “We’re in a great situation. We’ve got two guys that we think we can be significant winners with.” Ostrowsky said Morris and Poljan have been “on target” for where they need to be Thursday. “I ran the spread at Lansing Catholic,” Poljan said. “I would say I feel more comfortable in the spread than the pro-style offense.” Despite the three-year age difference and experience playing for a Power Five Conference school, Morris doesn’t see himself as a mentor for Poljan. He instead thinks of their relationship as one where each player benefits from the other’s strengths and weaknesses. Poljan said the competition has brought out the best in both of them and has only made them better friends. Morris echoed Poljan’s remarks, emphasizing the diversity in skillset each bring to the table. “Tony’s a great athlete,” Morris said. “There are a lot of things in the run game that he can do better than me. “You can take little things from every quarterback you watch. Everyone does things differently. You can pick and choose things and add it to your game. Iron sharpens iron.” Shane Morris

2017 Chippewas features change in offensive system By McKenzie Sanderson Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com
Options and opportunity are in store for the Central Michigan football team this season. Fans can expect two starting quarterbacks calling the shots for a new offensive spread system when the Chippewas take on Rhode Island at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 31 for their season opener at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium. Head coach John Bonamego made the announcement on Aug. 20 during CMU Media Day that redshirt freshman
Tony Poljan and graduate transfer Shane Morris will both play in Thursday’s game before the final decision on the starting QB position is made. “They’ve split — right down the middle — reps with the first unit,” Bonamego said of Morris and Poljan. “I’d like to see both play in the first game and see if what we’re seeing in practice carries over to when the bullets are live. Either way, we’re in a great situation.” Morris, Poljan and the rest of the team will showcase the new spread-style offense they’ve learned and adjusted to during training camp. The

tenure as head football coach at Northern Michigan. Ostrowsky called the importance of running the ball a “staple in the offense.” In the backfield, Ostrowsky has senior Devin Spalding, sophomore Jonathan Ward, Minnesota transfer Berkley Edwards and junior Romeo Ross at his disposal. Spalding is expected to lead the group, having the most touchdowns and carries in the 2016 season. The Chippewas will see all five starting interior defensive linemen return with junior Shakir Carr and seniors Joe Austin, Derek Edwards, Austin Doan and J.P. Quinn. Austin and Quinn started every game in 2016, while Doan and Carr each started in nine games. Also returning are seniors Amari Coleman and Josh Cox, CMU’s standout starting cornerback duo. Coleman enters his third year as a starter after earning First Team All Mid-American Conference honors with last season’s league-high 15 pass breakups. Cox made the transition from safety and earned Third Team All-MAC honors. To complete the de-

A foot injury sidelined senior tight end Tyler Conklin on Aug. 9 during training camp. While there’s still no timetable for Conklin’s return, Bonamego didn’t rule out the possibility Conklin could play later in the season. Until then, Saginaw Valley State tranfer Logan Hessbrook and senior Zach Crouch are competing to fill the position. Hessbrook is a product of the Ithaca High School football program, which won five MHSAA Division 6 championships from 2010-15. Crouch caught four passes for 86 yards in 2016. Bonamego said both players are “poised
to have good seasons.” “I had Zach in my office after spring ball and I said, ‘Zach, I have to apologize because I don’t spend as much time with you and consequently I don’t know you as well as other guys on the team,’” Bonamego said. “That’s because he does everything right.” CMU looks to rebuild from a 6-7 season in 2016, which ended in a loss to Tulsa at the Miami Beach Bowl. The Chippewas were picked to finish fifth in the MAC in both the preseason media poll and the poll of league coaches. Thursday’s game will be available on ESPN3.

Feeling unWelcome Students express concerns with heavy police presence during school kickoff celebrations By Evan Sasiela Managing Editor news@cm-life.com
Mount Pleasant streets filled with lights, music and people this weekend as students celebrated the start of the school year during Welcome Weekend. With the celebration came an influx of law enforcement, as the Mount Pleasant Police Department and the Central Michigan University Police Department were among the agencies patrolling the streets. The MPPD reported 441 calls for service from 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 24, until 7 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 27. The MPPD registered 653 calls for service in 2016 and 574 the year before. This year, the MPPD issued 149 citations or arrests over the three days. There were 64 people cited or arrested for open intoxicants with 40 for minor in possession of alcohol. There were nine arrested or cited for nuisance party-hosting, eight for disorderly conduct and six for operating while intoxicated. Last year, minor in possession totaled 70 citations or arrests and 45 for nuisance-party hosting. There were 17 citations or arrests for disorderly conduct in 2016. As of 5 p.m. Sunday, the CMUPD did not have its results available. Central Michigan Life plans to follow up. Despite the heavy police on-scene, students celebrated with friends — mainly in the north campus area north of Bellows Street and downtown. Adam DePalma serves as president of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity at CMU. The Lake Orion senior said the fraternity abstained from hosting parties this weekend to avoid any confrontation with police officers. DePalma is glad people were safe, but believes this Welcome Weekend didn’t seem to resemble those of years past. He said there was hardly any crowd in the area of Main Street other than Saturday night. “From what I could tell, there wasn’t nearly
as many ambulances or anybody really in as much trouble as it seemed in past years,” DePalma said. “I think the city should lighten up. Let people have some more fun with it.” DePalma believes police target people — more so in north campus than apartment complexes. He said there needs to be a cultural change within the community. “The police are really there to protect you but at the same time, they need to be there to protect the students — not to be writing tickets and get people in trouble,” DePalma said. “I really welcome them coming, but I wish there was more emphasis on getting students home safely and making sure there’s no one in any serious danger, rather than just handing out tickets.” In 2014, Mount Pleasant developed a multiyear plan to address the history of violations and increasing tension among residents in the neighborhood north of CMU’s campus. This area was highlighted as problematic, where owner-occupied properties and student rentals are intermingled, according to a MPPD press release. This includes the city working with local landlords, CMU and its students and to enforce ordinances more consistently. “We are proud to be home to Central Michigan University. The students are a great asset to our community and the energy and diversity they bring strengthens the city as a whole,” said Mount Pleasant City Manager Nancy Ridley. “The students are also city residents. All residents are expected to uphold our community standards, which include respecting your neighbors and taking care of each other to ensure Mount Pleasant continues to be a safe and desirable place to live and visit.”
A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION Three seniors, Jake Mitchell, Grace Elie and Molly Rozenboom, celebrated the weekend downtown Saturday — making a stop at the Bird Bar and Grill, 223 S. Main St. Mitchell, a St. Clair Shores native, said Welcome Weekend is the best weekend of the year. The three friends, who all are at least 21 years

of age, said visiting the bar is better than going to house parties. “It’s been a very fun time,” Elie, of Chelsea, said of Welcome Weekend. “I have enjoyed it thoroughly.” Rozenboom, a Howell native, said Welcome Weekend is a great time to escape her job working in the CMU Bookstore. She said Saturday’s festivities around town may have diminished due to people possibly watching the highly-
anticipated boxing match in Las Vegas between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor. While Mitchell said he was having a “fantastic” time during Welcome Weekend, he said it has been subpar compared to previous years. He believes police presence played a factor. “It’s a little annoying,” Mitchell said. “It’s over the top. (Police are) not very friendly.” The increase in people downtown this weekend was welcomed by Brian Baldwin, owner

of Bubba Q Barbecue. Baldwin set up shop on the corner of South Main and West Michigan streets — operating from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Baldwin said while St. Patrick’s Day is the busiest day for his business, Welcome Weekend is the biggest weekend. “There’s definitely an influx,” Baldwin said. “Thursday night was pretty crazy (downtown).” Throughout the year, Baldwin said mostly college students invade downtown on Thursdays. It’s a mix of students and residents on Fridays and mostly residents on Saturdays, he said. Baldwin has seen an increase in college students for Welcome Weekend, with the most popular item on his menu being the loaded turbo nachos. “The goal is to not sell out at Welcome Weekend — the goal is to keep selling,” Baldwin said. “I want to be able to sell until the last person is fed. They go home happy and me too.” DePalma said after Welcome Weekend, he and his fraternity are happy to be back on campus. “I’m looking forward to having a great year,” he said.

Students explore campus clubs, culture at MainStage By Mitchell Kukulka News Editor news@cm-life.com
Students new and old were given a chance to learn more about ways to get involved across campus at MainStage on Saturday. MainStage is an annual event during Welcome Weekend where students can discover and talk with on-campus groups, student organizations and local businesses they can get involved with over the school year. MainStage took place from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday in parking lot 62, between Kelly/ Shorts Stadium and Rose Pond. Many freshmen used MainStage as a way to navigate the university. Georgia freshman Kenzie Leeseberg found the event to be valuable when it came to finding new opportunities around the unfamiliar campus. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed everything that I’ve
experienced,” Leeseberg said. “The exposure to all the different events and clubs without having to go far away from your dorm is really great and interesting. I also like the fact that there are so many different clubs and organizations, and different variations of the clubs.” “The diversity of the clubs and activities students can get involved with is very interesting to me, and it’s very helpful as a student coming from across the country to get involved easily and quickly.” MainStage was also a way for student organizations to reach a wider audience, said Walter Mueller. The Cleveland junior attended the event to represent After Hours Improv, an improvisational theatre group that puts on monthly shows. “We are so happy with the turnout,” Mueller said. “We’ve gotten so many people interested in joining, and whether or not they end up joining, it’s great to see all this interest.”

faculty member, told the story of her first year in college and the nerves she faced. “If you find yourself in the coming weeks or months feeling lost, seek out your professors this semester,” she said. “If you’re struggling in a class, make an appointment to talk to your professor during their office hours. Know professors are real people and they want you to succeed.” Port Huron freshman Angelica Finnesy said she felt inspired following the ceremony. She said she found the speeches relatable, especially those who emphasized their own struggles as freshmen. Finnesy said the ceremony helped her feel more comfortable at CMU.

SMALL SCHOOL, BIG AMBITION Two talented quarterbacks, new offensive system has Chippewas in battle for MAC title
T
hursday night is always a good time in Mount Pleasant, but this week it’s going to be special. Central Michigan football’s season opener is Aug. 31 at home against Rhode Island. Head coach John Bonamego and his team are coming off a lackluster 6-7 season, but we believe there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about this football season and program. After taking over from where former coach Dan Enos (2636) left off, Bonamego inherited a formidable group of players — none more so than quarterback Cooper Rush, who was officially named to the NFL’s Dallas Cowboy’s roster Saturday by owner Jerry Jones. This year, ex-quarterback for the University of Michigan Shane Morris and redshirt freshman Tony Poljan are competing to replace Rush. Morris, who fought to get any playing time at Michigan, is showing Chippewa fans his adaptability while adjusting to the new spread offense, instilled by first-year offensive coordinator Chris Ostrowsky. The massive 6-foot-7, 225-pound Poljan struggled in April’s Maroon and Gold Spring Game, but also showcased an immense amount of potential. Bonamego freely admits CMU’s football program is being designed to build around him. Watching them compete for that starting quarterback role is reason enough to be an engaged fan this year. But those aren’t the only players to watch. Senior receivers Corey Willis with his impressive 72 receptions, 1,091 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, and Mark Chapman, with 44 catches, 592 yards and four touchdowns, will give whoever starts the needed experience and talent downfield. Sophomore Brandon Childress (23 receptions and 327 yards) is showing he will have a large part in the program’s future. All three receivers will make sure the next quarterback is surrounded with playmakers. The players are not the only thing you should be watching. The entire season is reason enough to keep you excited. Our football schedule shows that CMU has grown into a school that Power Five conference schools are now eager to play. We play a Big 12 Conference team in Kansas and two Atlantic Coast Conference teams in Syracuse and Boston College this season. CMU takes on Michigan State in 2018, Wisconsin and Miami (Florida) in 2019, and Northwestern and Nebraska in 2020. In the now infamous game against Oklahoma State last season, CMU competed and held its own against the nationally-ranked team. It was supposed to be an absolute blowout, but people saw we could play against a larger school all the way to the last second, the Chippewas› second miracle Hail Mary in three seasons. You will want to be watching for the next major CMU upset, or Hail Mary. The fact that CMU is constantly producing NFL caliber talent speaks volumes to our recruitment and the coaching staff as well. Look no further than wide receiver Antonio Brown. Playing for

the Pittsburgh Steelers, Brown led the NFL in receptions (129), and receiving yards (1,698) in 2014. Brown just had his fourth consecutive season with more than 1,000 yards receiving, and he was ranked fourth on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2016. Running back Thomas Rawls took over for Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch on the Seattle Seahawks, where he earned the records for most single game rushing yards by a rookie running back (209), most rushing yards by an undrafted rookie in his first six
games (711). In 2013, offensive tackle Eric Fisher was drafted first overall by the Kansas City Chiefs. Rush and safety Kavon Frazier have the potential to put two CMU alumni on the Dallas Cowboys’ 53-man roster. There have always been reasons to show up and cheer for our football team. Be there to watch our team. Be there for the next major upset. Be there to see the next Antonio Brown. Experience Game Day. We’ll see you at Kelly/Shorts Stadium on Thursday.

Corporations set a dangerous new precedent Freedom of speech protects you from the government censoring you, but what about protecting you from corporations? If you are cut off from speaking on the internet, how much freedom do you really have? Destroying a group or persons right to speak on the internet is a violation of the most basic and fundamental pillar of human rights.

a dangerous ideology. This is frightening. These companies, with the massive amount of data being passed through their servers every day, should have to uphold the First Amendment, as much as the federal government. The fact they can remove these sites without any consequences should terrify every American. In 1798, the Sedition Act was passed,
which made it illegal to “print, utter, or publish… any false, scandalous, and malicious writing” against the federal government. The effect of these laws almost shut down every newspaper opposed to President John Adams. The supporters of this law had a very similar argument to the one being used today. Those in favor of the Sedition Act believed in such a politically volatile world, there needed to be restrictions to calm and stop the spread of harmful ideas that could divide our new nation. If freedom of speech is only a protection from government, then Google, Facebook, Apple, Reddit and Twitter have every right to silence and
ban any website and/or idea from using their services. It has been America’s free flow of ideas, without any hindrance, that has set this nation apart from the rest of the world since its inception. Imagine if Google decided that the political climate has become too volatile and started to deny The Washington Post or The Young Turks server space. Would people still be saying freedom of speech is only protected from the government? These may not be places where violent and racist ideas are traded and passed, but the fundamental problem is still there. It would not be a violation of WaPo or TYT rights to free speech, because

OPINION
Google is not the government. If America accepts this, where does their power stop? Do Google and Facebook have the right to stop any and all political speech on their servers? This notion that speech is only protected from the government should be seen as a violation of the most fundamental human right, and it sets up a dangerous precedent, where a company can destroy the right to free speech online. This is a clear and immediate threat to the way of American life and American freedoms. What really is the difference between the government violating your rights or a corporation? There is none.
We hear your criticisms and want to make CM Life the best possible paper Following a semester abroad in Moscow and a summer internship in Ann Arbor, I can finally say it’s good to be back in Mount Pleasant. It’s good to be back home. My name is Jordyn Hermani and I am the Editor-in-Chief for Central Michigan Life this fall semester. I’ve spent the last three years working for the paper first as a reporter, then as a news editor and parttime podcaster. I care deeply about both this publication and this media company. I also care deeply about how our readers view us. By sticking with the paper for so long, I’ve been able to hear some of the common criticisms we’ve received over the years: we’re too biased toward left-leaning issues, we don’t cover the city well enough, we have issues with inaccuracy and so on. I want you to know we read each comment and email sent to us, every Twitter reply and Facebook message. We read them and then use this criticism to try and find a way to either address a blatant issue within

coverage, or be mindful of the next time we cover something in a similar vein. We don’t want to be a paper you look at and mistrust. We want to be your student voice, and that means all students. However, it’s hard to represent viewpoints and opinions that don’t find their way to us. If you feel we are too left-leaning, then come write for us either with an opinion column or a letter to the editor, that shows us your point of view. If you feel we are not covering a topic close enough, then send us an email with a link to something you believe deserves a spot online or in the paper. We understand it is not possible to cater to every wish and whim of each reader who peruses our product. Yet we can try our
hardest to open our ears and acknowledge these criticisms, and through that build a better paper. Meet us half way. You reach out to us, and we’ll reach out to you: opinion@cm-life. com, news@cm-life.com and editor@cm-life. com are all here to benefit students, faculty, staff and community members of the greater Mount Pleasant area. We don’t want you to think of Central Michigan Life as a faceless entity that appears in the community on Mondays and Thursdays, baring holiday weekends. We want you to think of us as a resource for your university updates; as your fellow students who are just as curious about the campus and community as you are; but most importantly as a reliable source for what’s going on around you. As we said in our last editorial, it’s easy to become unplugged and apathetic. We hope to alleviate that issue around Central Michigan University. So please, help us do that.

‘Stable’ of running backs look to revive MAC-worst rushing attack By Kullen Logsdon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
Devon Spalding couldn’t help but smile when speaking to reporters at Central Michigan football’s Media Day last Sunday. Spalding, the Westland senior known for his tough demeanor, spoke with a large grin on his face when talking about this year’s group of running backs, which he has high hopes for. “We have one of the best groups for competition on our team,” Spalding said. “When you have the amount of running backs we have, and the talent we have, it’s always a good day to compete.” CMU’s rushing attack has finished last in the Mid-American Conference during the last two seasons. Since Thomas Rawls (1,103 rushing yards in 2015), no running back has eclipsed 800 yards in a season. In hopes of turning around the recent rushing woes, CMU has transitioned to a spread offense this season and has a deep running back group with different skill sets to break it in.
FAMILIAR FACES Spalding, a 5-foot-11, 205-pounder, is the veteran of the group. He led the team in rushing last season with 765 yards and six touchdowns after missing the bulk of his sophomore season with an injury. Learning from a player like Rawls — who now carries the football for the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks — Spalding is now passing along his knowledge to the younger running backs. He knows the group is talented, but is only as good as its weakest link. “I’m just assuming the role that the older guys took on me when I first got here from guys like Thomas Rawls and Saylor Lavallii,” he said. “When I first got here they took me under their wing and showed me the ropes. I’m just trying to help the younger guys stay level headed and do what they need to do on the field.” As a freshman, Jonathan Ward played sparingly, but the Illinois native demonstrated a blend of speed, elusiveness and solid hands as he finished the season with 200 rushing yards in eight games. The 6-foot, 185-pounder also totaled 69 receiving yards last season in his freshman year. MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME If two running backs aren’t enough, the Chippewas have two more in the fold who sat out 2016. Sophomore Romello Ross (injury) and senior

Berkley Edwards (transfer) watched as Spalding and Ward competed last season and are hungry to carve out their own roles in the new offense. “It was tough, we were both sad to sit out a year from something we love to do,” said Ross, who tore his ACL last preseason after a successful freshman campaign. “I don’t think that would ever sit right with you, just having to watch. But the time is coming and we just have to get on the field and produce.” Edwards, the younger brother of former Michigan wide receiver Braylon Edwards, transferred from Minnesota in 2015. The 5-foot-9, 195-pound runner accumulated 140 yards on 30 carries as a freshman for the Golden Gophers in 2014, but transferred after barely seeing the field as a sophomore. Edwards, who also competes in track, said he has embraced the competition in camp and knows having a committee of running backs ready to go can help the group succeed this season. “Having depth is good for us for always having fresh legs,” he said. “It’s great for us to have competition, it always keeps us on our toes and nobody can get relaxed.” Head coach John Bonamego isn’t sure yet how he will divide playing time, but said each running back will have opportunities to set himself apart. “We’ve got a stable of good running backs,” he said. “You’re going to see all of those guys in a variety of roles.”

Armstrong challenges Keon for starting kicker position By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
As the battle for the starting quarterback position intensifies with just days until the season kicks off, a kicking competition between senior Michael Armstrong and sophomore Kaden Keon also has taken place. Transfer student Armstrong from Southern Methodist University lead the way, said head coach John Bonamego. Right behind him was Keon, who Bonamego said has done well this offseason. “Michael and Kaden have both been better with their place kicking,” Bonamego said. “Last year was a rough year, battling through a lot of injuries. We didn’t have the depth at that position like we do now.” Armstrong graduated from SMU in three years and still has two years of eligibility remaining after redshirting as a sophomore with the Mustangs. When it came to his decision to transfer, Armstrong said how his future looked with their program was key. Bonamego is Armstrong’s fourth college head coach. The placekicker was recruited to SMU by June Jones, but Jones was fired after the second game of Armstrong’s freshman year. Chad Morris came in as head coach from Clemson and changed the whole outlook on the team. “My redshirt sophomore year, we got more new staff and Chad Morris’s whole philosophy was only recruiting the state of Texas and I’m not a Texas guy,” Armstrong said. “They told me I was only going to be on kickoff and I wanted more than that,” he said. That’s what led Armstrong to CMU. He has been in Mount Pleasant since July 11, but has convinced Bonamego enough to take over the lead for the starting role so far. At SMU, Armstrong attempted two field goals, making just one from 22 yards out. With the battle continuing between Keon and Armstrong, the two players have become close on and off the field, helping each other get better every day. “Kaden (Keon) is a great guy and probably is one of my better friends on the team because we spend so much time together,” Armstrong said of his kicking competitor. “We have a really good relationship and

everybody has been super friendly, making it a great environment. It’s been easy to get adjusted and fit right in.” The 5-foot-10, 180-pound kicker said having a kicking coach like Shayne Graham has helped both himself and Keon with their consistency and fundamentals. Graham played for 11 teams in his 15-year career as a placekicker in the NFL, making over 85 percent (277-for-324) of his attempts as a pro. Armstrong couldn’t speak highly enough about Graham. “It was a huge reason that I came here. Realistically, he is one of the top-10 kickers to ever walk the face of the planet earth,” Armstrong said. “The expectations are obviously really high because he’s one of the best to ever do it, which is good. “There is very few schools that have
coaches that can help you like this one, and having one who has been there mentally is huge and can help in all the little spots.” Armstrong, a North Carolina native, said punting has never been an area he has tried in football, but in high school he went to Africa where played rugby punting with success. Armstrong said the Chippewas were not willing to try that style for their special teams. CMU’s punting position will be filled by junior Jack Sheldon who punted for the team last year. He punted 47 times in 12 games while averaging 40.2 yards per punt. For a season outlook, Armstrong said before he even came to Mount Pleasant, it was clear as to why he chose CMU. “I think we are going to have a really good season,” Armstrong said. “This is a good team that is ready to do big things.”

Transfer tight end looks to build from high school success By Dylan Goetz Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com
After senior tight end Tyler Conklin underwent foot surgery on August 9, Central Michigan football head coach John Bonamego said junior transfer Logan Hessbrook is the “next man up.” As fans in Kelly/Shorts Stadium watched one-handed catches from seniors Conklin and Corey Willis at the 2017 Spring Game, Hessbrook quietly caught four passes setting up one touchdown and scoring another for the Maroon team. The performance seemed similar to his prep days at Ithaca High School, where he played defensive back and wide receiver for his uncle and Ithaca head coach Terry Hessbrook before going on to play at Saginaw Valley State. Logan was a football, basketball and baseball standout at Ithaca. His most impressive moment came in the 2013 MHSAA Division 6 Football State Championship when he stepped in at quarterback after Travis

Smith was injured on the second play of the game. At this point in his high school career, Logan had only played quarterback on the junior varsity team and was primarily a defensive player. “He was our backup all year, but he didn’t get a lot of reps,” Terry said. “I would like to tell you he was prepared for that spot
but I do not think he was. We had a streak going at that time and I’m sure a lot of people in that building thought the streak was coming to an end.” Ithaca went on to win its third straight state championship over Clinton, in a display of sheer class from the converted quarterback according to his uncle.
Terry said his nephew’s passion for the game comes from just being a Hessbrook. “I think Logan brings a lot of passion to the game of football because he was one of the kids I feel embraced practice,” Terry said. At CMU Football Media Day, head coach John Bonamego
highly praised Logan during his press conference. “Logan has had an excellent spring. He’s been a big surprise,” Bonamego said. “I want to surround myself with as many people I can that have the same passion as me. Logan Hessbrook is undoubtedly one of those guys. He brings energy to everything that he does and he’s an outstanding student. He’s what you want.” Logan took an unorthodox route to becoming a Division I football player at Central Michigan University. Though CMU recruited him, Logan decided to play for Saginaw Valley State because he would get the opportunity to play immediately. CMU wanted Logan to gray shirt his first year, meaning he would enroll as a regular student but wouldn’t be on scholarship until the second semester after the football season ends. Gray shirts cannot participate in practice. About halfway through SVSU’s season, Logan broke his collarbone which made him realize the caliber difference between high school and collegiate football. The broken collarbone held
him out for the rest of the year and he was not able to apply for a medical redshirt because he played one too many games to be eligible. For an athlete to be eligible for a medical redshirt, the injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of the season. After speaking to his family and coaches, Logan realized he wanted to play for CMU, which is located only 20 minutes from his hometown. “Logan came into my office and said ‘I’m not going back to Saginaw Valley,’ and I reacted like ‘Logan, what are you doing here? This is a huge mistake,’” Terry said. “Logan said he wanted to play Division I football, and I could tell in his tone and demeanor he was serious.” Logan is tasked with filling the shoes of who he believes is the “best tight end in the country,”: Conklin. Conklin went down with a foot injury during training camp in early August and does not know when he will return. “With injuries at any level it’s the next man up,” Logan said. “Tyler is a big role model to me and I talk to him every day asking for tips and pointers.”
Fans should expect uptempo offense this football season By Dylan Goetz Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com
Tyler Conklin, Central Michigan football’s star tight end, just made head football coach John Bonamego and offensive coordinator Chris Ostrowsky’s job a bit more challenging. Conklin reportedly broke his foot in training camp and doctors currently have no timetable for his return. Ostrowsky is working with other returning starters at receiver, offensive line and running back. Pairing with graduate transfer
quarterback Shane Morris and redshirt freshman quarterback Tony Poljan, Ostrowsky is implementing a spread offense similar to the one he used as a head coach at Northern Michigan University. At NMU, Ostrowsky’s offense broke team scoring records, averaging more than 30 points per game. In the backfield, Ostrowsky has senior Devon Spalding, sophomore Jonathan Ward, Minnesota transfer Berkley Edwards and junior Romello Ross at his disposal. Spalding is expected to lead the group as a senior, having the most touchdowns and carries
during the 2016-17 season. “The importance of running the football is still a staple in our offense,” Ostrowsky said. “It’s not a situation where we think we are going to throw it 50 times each game because that’s not the case.” The goal is to have the best five skill players on the field at the same time, Bonamego said. That starts with the running backs. “We can get Spalding and Ward on the field at the same time,” Bonamego said. “We help (the offensive line) out by dressing it up differently, from formations to motion and that sort of thing. That
is one of the things that you will notice about this offense compared to a conventional spread.” Senior wide receiver Corey Willis, who led the Chippewas with nine touchdowns last season, is expected to be used more frequently this year. Though he led the team in receptions during his junior year, Willis will have the opportunity to thrive in a spread offense. “Everybody is going to be everywhere,” Conklin said about how the team lines up in the new system. “There’s going to be more catching for everybody. With the
tempo of the offense and throwing the ball more, there is going to be more production.” Along with Morris and Edwards, another transfer player who has the chance to make an impact is tight end Logan Hessbrook. The senior from Saginaw Valley State played in seven regular season games with SVSU, tallying five catches for 52 yards. Bonamego said Hessbrook has an opportunity to make his impression with Tyler Conklin being out for significant time. Before his injury, Conklin said he was excited for the new
offensive system during MAC Media Day on July 26 at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “We love the new offense,” Conklin said. “Who doesn’t like catching balls and scoring more points? We think everybody at CMU is going to like it, too. There’s going to be a different feel in the stadium.” Conklin said the Chippewas’ hope for their scoring average to be in the high 30s. The Chippewas open the 2017-18 season at Kelly/Shorts Stadium against Rhode Island on Thursday, Aug. 31.

Defense ready to let their play ‘do the talking’ By Kullen Logsdon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
Greg Colby knew something had to change following his defense’s performance in last season’s Miami Beach Bowl. As the defensive coordinator watched his unit constantly get dominated during Central Michigan’s 55-10 loss to Tulsa in the season finale, he knew big changes were needed to turn his defense around. Colby never anticipated the changes would come from the Chippewas’ offense. With CMU breaking in its new spread offense this season, Colby’s defense has worked against the system in practice and has been forced to get faster and adjust. “It helps us in that we’re going to face a few of those teams this year and it’s impossible to defend those teams unless you’ve practiced the tempo and scheme you have to run against them,” Colby said. “You can’t simulate it. “We tried to simulate it for the bowl game, but couldn’t do that and didn’t have the right schemes for it. This will be a huge boost for us now when we play those teams from now on. We look faster and more athletic.” CMU’s defense, which ranked second in the Mid-American Conference in 2015, dropped off last season from allowing 22 points per game to 30.3. The unit also gave up 391 yards per game and was a shell of the No. 2 ranked defense from the year before. With the adjustments against the new spread offense, Colby believes his unit is ready to bounce back this season. “I like the progress we’ve made,” he said. “I like the guys we got out there and the new guys are doing a good job of learning the system and fitting in and executing. I think we’re in a good place right now.”
POTENTIAL STARTERS CMU’s defense returns plenty of experience and leadership. Senior defensive end Joe Ostman, who led the team with nine sacks in 2016, returns to anchor the defensive line. The line also returns junior Mitch Stanitzek, who was injured against Oklahoma State and missed the rest of the season. Stanitzek is competing with sophomore Mike Danna for the other defensive end spot. In the middle, sophomore D’Andre Dill and senior Chris Kantzavelos are likely to start at the tackle positions. Ostman said the group has a new mentality

heading into the season. “We will let our play do the talking because last year we didn’t,” Ostman said during July’s MAC Media Day in Canton, Ohio. “Now, it’s a new year and that’s all we can ask for. We have the chance to do something special with this team.” At linebacker, the Chippewas bring back AllMAC First Team selection Malik Fountain, who led the team with 92 tackles. Sophomores Michael Oliver and Carlos Clark will compete with seniors Jeff Perry and Trevor Apsey for playing time at outside linebacker. Perhaps CMU’s strongest unit on defense could be its secondary, which returns third-year starting cornerbacks Amari Coleman and Josh Cox. Coleman, who was also a First Team All-MAC selection last season, led the conference with 15 pass break-ups in 2016 and was the co-leader with four interceptions. Coleman said communication at every level of the defense will be crucial this year to improving overall. “It’s very helpful to have really good players at each level,” Coleman said. “We have really good players on the defensive line, (at) linebacker and
it only helps us in the secondary. Every level of the defense is important.” Behind Coleman and Cox will be two new starting safeties this season. Colby said junior Tyjuan Swain and seniors Ray Golden and Darwyn Kelly have received the majority of reps in practice and has been impressed with that group. Head coach John Bonamego acknowledged his defense’s regression in 2016 and said “the hall-
mark” of CMU football needs to step up for the team to reach its goal of winning a MAC Championship this year. Bonamego said the defensive staff has devoted most of its time this offseason looking at film, and speaking to different members of the defense. “Facing our offense every day is the best thing for our defense,” Bonamego said.
