WE NEED JOURNALISM S
tudents are fighting the COVID-19 global pandemic and racial inequality as a divisive presidential election rapidly approaches. In a time when social media misinformation erodes confidence in the news media, we believe delivering accurate, truthful journalism is of utmost importance to the public. This week is National Newspaper Week – a time to recognize the valuable public service news outlets provide to their communities. For 100 years, Central Michigan Life has been a watchdog and source of information for CMU and Mount Pleasant. In a year where everything is socially distanced and moving at a slowed pace, the daily news coverage provided by CM Life has not slowed down. When campus shutdown in March, CM Life’s team of reporters, photographers and ad reps did not – in fact, we have never been busier. As businesses closed their doors and the
lights on campus went dark, CM Life continued to provide the community with vital information. We shared heartbreaking and uplifting stories. We informed our readers where tests were available and alerted people to changes happening at CMU. Without dedicated, hardworking student journalists at CM Life, many, many stories on campus would go unnoticed. CMU needs student journalists to deliver critical reporting and thoughtful storytelling. The skills learned at CM Life are necessary to prepare students for successful media careers. CM Life is, and always will be, an advocate for transparency from university administrators, police departments and all branches of government. We will also always inform people about upcoming events and provide stories that find their way onto scrapbooks and onto the faculty bulletin boards. Student journalists are the reason CMU students, faculty and staff have the informa-
tion they need to make decisions about their lives and leaders. Trust and appreciate the information and resources CM Life provides to you, our readers. Without your continued support, CMU risks losing an inside look into their community, access to information and accountability from its leaders. As the voice of the student body, a student-run news company needs more than just journalism and photojournalism majors. CM Life needs broadcasters, advertising students and podcasters who are curious, willing to work hard and have something to say to people on campus. We also need participation from our readership. Send us your guest columns, letters to the editor and news tips to editor@cm-life. com or news@cm-life.com. We want to hear from you.
All letters to the editor or guest columns must include a name, address, affiliation (if any) and phone number for verification. Anonymous letters will not be printed, except under extraordinary circumstances. CM Life reserves the right to edit all letters and columns for style, length, libel, redundancy, clarity, civility and accuracy. Letters should be no more than 450 words in length. Longer guest columns may be submitted but must remain under 750 words. Published versions may be shorter than the original submission. CM Life reserves the right to print any original content as a letter or guest column. Please allow up to five days for a staff response, which will include an expected date of publication. Submission does not guarantee publication.

McElwain preps Chippewa T
wo months ago, there was no fall season to prepare for. Now, Central Michigan will get a chance to defend its Mid-American Conference West Division title in 2020. It won’t be a full season though. Each of the MAC’s 12 schools will play a conference-only, six-game schedule featuring the five members of its division and one interdivisional crossover game. The season is scheduled to start the week of Nov. 4 and will conclude with the MAC championship game on Dec. 18 or 19. There will be no fans in attendance at any of the games. The schedule won’t be the only change to the players’ routines in 2020. Each student-athlete will be tested for coronavirus four times a week. If a player tests positive, they will undergo an antigen test to confirm their diagnosis. Once that diagnosis is confirmed, the player is out for at least 21 days. As far as on the field, there are plenty of subjects worth watching within the Chippewa football program. Head coach Jim McElwain is heading into his second year at the helm of the Chippewas and has plenty of offensive firepower. Junior Kalil Pimpleton and senior JaCorey Sullivan, both of whom were all-conference performers last season, return at wide receiver primed to have breakout seasons. There’s also redshirt sophomore Tyrone Scott, who had 650 receiving yards last year. At running back, junior Kobe Lewis will see an increase in carries after posting 1,000 yards backing up Jonathan Ward in 2019. McElwain and offensive coordinator Charlie Frye have plenty to work with, but the big question this season: Who is starting quarterback? Senior David Moore seems to be the favorite. His oneyear suspension is scheduled to expired Oct. 7, making him eligible for the entirety of the 2020 season. In four starts last season, Moore threw for 1,143 yards and five touchdowns, leading the team to two wins. He and Pimpleton formed a potent connection before Moore was forced to miss the season due to his suspension.
2020 SCHEDUL
Wed. Nov. 4 vs Ohio Wed. Nov. 11 at Northern Illinois Wed. Nov. 18 vs Western Michig Sat. Nov. 28 at Eastern Michigan Sat. Dec. 5 vs Ball State Sat. Dec. 12 at Toledo
Should Moore go down, McElwain will be forced to t redshirt freshman Daniel Richardson or graduate trans Brock, who comes to CMU from Sam Houston State. Defensively, the Chippewas bring back star junior lin Brown and a plethora of returning contributors on the is inexperience in the secondary, but expect junior tran Edwards and Richard Bowens III to contribute in their the Chippewas.
PRAISING THE MAC McElwain wasted no time sharing his thoughts on th of reinstating the season. He praised commissioner Jon and the medical professionals working toward creating environment for student athletes. Among his biggest praises was the fact that the MAC players to participate in discussions. Student athletes fr school met with Steinbrecher and medical professional it would take to play a season. “I thought it really was good as a conference to inclu those discussions,” McElwain said. “(Players) felt they find out all the reasons and how we’re doing it. My hat’ American Conference, how they went about it and this this schedule.”

PREPARING IN CASE OF EMERGENCY With contact tracing becoming a large part of the COVID-19 conversation, McElwain has sought to diversify his players’ skills. He sets aside specific parts of practice to allow players to practice on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. For example, defensive backs spend time training as wide receivers, and vice versa. Additionally, McElwain referenced that the team could be trying wildcat packages. Pimpleton seems like a prime candidate to fill that role given his experience at the position in high school. The Chippewas may need help at running back and in the secondary from those on the opposing side of the ball. Lewis and redshirt freshman Lew Nichols are the only two scholarship options in the backfield after redshirt freshman Josh Crawford opted out. The crossover practices are allowing McElwain to evaluate what he has in his players. “What we’re doing in our crossover practices, I think is going to help us at that position,” McElwain said. “Those crossovers are going to help us if we have some injuries.” RECRUITING CLASS TO JOIN TEAM IN JANUARY Just nine members of Central Michigan’s 2020 recruiting class will be on roster this season. Of the nine, seven are on scholarship. Other members of the freshman class will join the program in January and participate in spring practice, McElwain said. Those participating this season are running back Jordon Ingram, wide receiver Nahree Biggins and offensive lineman Keegan Smith. “They’re going to be able to get a full spring and summer, which will put them ahead academically,” McElwain said. “On the back end, gaining another year as far as the eligibility piece, I think that’s fantastic.” Four of the team’s top-five recruits in the 2020 class are among those staying home. Defensive back Daedae Hill, the team’s second-highest rated recruit according to 247Sports, is the lone recruit coming to Mount Pleasant. The other freshmen on roster are: defensive back Donte Kent, wide receivers Alec Ward and Zahir Swann, linebacker Jayden Cray, offensive lineman Ronald Novosedliak, running back John Shelton IV, kicker Marshall Meeder and defensive lineman Cade Cote. LUKE GOEDEKE TO MISS SEASON Central Michigan starting offensive tackle Luke Goedeke underwent knee surgery and will miss the 2020 season. “He’s gonna miss this season,” McElwain said. “The surgery went great; he’s in really good spirits.”
O O H E R • S TA F F R E P O R T E R
Last season, Goedeke started all 14 games for the Chippewas at right tackle and was the team’s highest graded player according to Pro Football Focus. He committed just five penalties throughout the season and played a large part in CMU having a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in Jonathan Ward and Kobe Lewis. Goedeke came to Central Michigan in 2018 as a walk-on after one season at UW-Stevens Point. He switched from tight end to tackle and flourished. He was named preseason First Team All-MAC by PFF and Second Team by Athlon Sports. A pair of Chippewas have moved to offensive tackle to replace him: juniors Bernhard Raimann and Keegan Cossou. TWO PLAYERS OPT OUT Crawford and junior defensive lineman Deron IrvingBey are the lone two players who have decided to optout of the 2020 season due to coronavirus concerns. Originally, sophomore defensive lineman Jacques Bristol and redshirt freshman safety Trey Jones had also opted out. However, they returned when the season was revived in September. TAKING PART IN SOCIAL CONVERSATION McElwain and his staff helped every member of the Chippewa roster register to vote. He emphasized the importance of allowing his players to share their voices and opinions on social conversations. “There’s a lot of great lessons we’ve learned and should have learned a long time ago,” McElwain said. “Your voice can be heard through voting and doing something. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but I think it was an important lesson for all of us.”

PREDICTING THE UNPREDICTABLE
Central Michigan running back Kobe Lewis is cheered on by teammates from the sideline as he scores a touchdown against Northern Illinois Nov. 2 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. By Austin Chastain & Christian Booher Sports Editor, Staff Reporter

sports@cm-life.com
entral Michigan’s 2020 football season will go down as the shortest season since the 1918 season when the team played a single game and defeated Traverse City High School 41-6. Central Michigan Life football beat writers Austin Chastain and Christian Booher give expectations and predictions for the shortened 2020 football season. Ohio Nov. 4 — AC: CMU 35-10, CB: CMU 31-13 AC: CMU has more experience than the Bobcats and has more talent offensively. Look for the Chippewas to exploit Ohio’s youth and inexperience in a big way on opening night. CB: Under coach Frank Solich, Ohio has been able to be a consistent contender within the conference. However, the Bobcats don’t have the pieces defensively to contend with the Chippewas’ arsenal of playmakers. Behind returning star junior wide receiver Kalil Pimpleton, CMU makes a statement on opening night.
Football beat writers discuss 2020 predictions Bellamy. WMU is relatively inexperienced on both sides of the ball, whereas CMU has experience. CMU’s offensive prowess this year will be too much for the Broncos’ young defense and CMU wins the Victory Cannon. CB: Any time a team loses its starting quarterback and running back, especially when they’ve been consistent contributors for four years, there is an adjustment period. WMU has done a decent job of allowing Kaleb Eleby to get game reps at times, but it will take time for him to be as potent as Wassink was for so long. Given that CMU’s front four will be stronger than it was a season ago, expect tough sledding for WMU on the ground. D’Wayne Eskridge and Skyy Moore will cause trouble out wide and the WMU defense will be stout. The Chippewas just have too many playmakers however.
at Northern Illinois Nov. 11 — AC: CMU 35-7, CB: CMU 49-17 AC: NIU did not put up much of a fight in a 48-10 CMU victory last November. The Huskies were working on a two-quarterback system when they traveled to Kelly/Shorts Stadium last year, and it was just short of a disaster. Expect some of the same this year from NIU, especially against senior linebacker Troy Brown and the Chippewa defense. CB: Offensively, NIU didn’t have much of an identity last year. It shifted through quarterbacks and couldn’t do much outside of the efforts of running back Tre Harbison. Harbison is gone now, leaving a lot of inexperience in the backfield. The Huskies have a solid 1-2 punch out wide, however the quarterback play is less to be desired. Defensively, the Huskies don’t have much either. Senior quarterback David Moore should have a field day.
at Eastern Michigan Nov. 28 — AC: CMU 28-10, CB: CMU 35-13 AC: Preston Hutchinson played in eight games last year with one start — a Hail Mary miracle win over WMU — and saw moderate success. He has some experience, but he may have some growing pains as the probable starter for the Eagles following Mike Glass III graduating last year. Look for the Chippewa experienced defense to cause problems for the young Eagle offense. CB: The Chippewas made quick work of the Eagles at home last year. EMU had a hard time getting to the quarterback, and there’s no evidence to show that it will be any easier for the Eagles this time around. Preston Hutchinson does have a solid receiver duo to work with, but the Chippewas have an equally potent secondary duo in junior defensive backs Brian Edwards and Richard Bowens III. With little to fear in the run game, the Chippewas can sit back and force Hutchinson to beat them with his arm.
Western Michigan Nov. 18 — AC: CMU 31-14, CB: CMU 34-21 AC: WMU lost several players to graduation and the NFL — namely quarterback Jon Wassink and running back Levante
BALL STATE Dec. 5 — AC: CMU 42-17, CB: CMU 31-28 AC: Last year’s miracle win led by former quarterback Tommy Lazzaro will go down as the fourth quarter that won the MAC

West Division. Ball State had a relatively potent offense last season but is no match for what the Chippewa offense expects to be this season. CB: Ball State is a dark-horse candidate for the MAC West title. The Cardinals bring back their starting quarterback Drew Plitt and top rusher Caleb Huntley. The two of them spearheaded a surprisingly potent offensive attack that pushed the Chippewas to the brink last year before the miracle comeback. CMU will need strong play from their linebackers to stop the run, and it helps to have a star like Troy Brown. Offensively, the Chippewas’ plethora of weapons again wins out. at Toledo Dec. 12 — AC: UT 38-35, CB: CMU 41-38 AC: This is the one many Chippewa fans should keep their eye on. Toledo has been a thorn — more like a sword — in CMU’s side for the last decade. Last season, the Chippewas finally got their first win over Toledo in literally a decade. The Rockets struggled down the stretch with losses to NIU and Buffalo before taking a 49-7 loss on the chin in Mount Pleasant. Look for UT to come out against the Chippewas angry from the beatdown it suffered last year. CB: This game may be the one that the Chippewas benefit most from the lack of fans. The Glass Bowl in Toledo is always a raucous environment. Both sides have plenty of playmakers in the passing and run game. This one should be a fun 60 minutes. In this case, the Chippewas simply have too many weapons. The triple threat of Pimpleton, senior wide receiver JaCorey Sullivan and junior running back Kobe Lewis are too much for the Rocket defense. FINAL PREDICTION — AC: 5-1, CB: 6-0 AC: CMU’s balance on both sides of the ball and the run-pass balance on offense will carry the team to a 5-1 record, a second-consecutive berth in the MAC championship game and a potential bowl game. CB: With so many options to choose from offensively, the Chippewas will be hard to stop. Pimpleton and Sullivan are arguably the top two receivers the MAC has to offer. McElwain is the best coach in the MAC, and for that reason, he will win the close games. Anything less than a MAC title this year should be considered underwhelming.

Return of football season exciting for everyone involved Somehow, some way, we are going to have a football season in the Mid-American Conference. Central Michigan will play three football games in Kelly/Shorts Stadium this fall and look to defend its MAC West Division title. In doing so, the Chippewas will have to play three divisional games on the road. On Sept. 5 – the day CMU was supposed to originally open the season – I wrote about the disappointment the cancellation of the fall season brought. The return of the football season is fantastic for the players w. It’s fantastic for those who work in the athletic department and cover the team. It’s fantastic for the fans who figuratively live and die by the performance of their team each week. Yes, there will be testing to ensure all of the student-athletes are safe and don’t spread COVID-19 while they are out competing and, likewise, to the rest of the student body. Sure, there have been some games that

needed to be rescheduled or canceled altogether, but we have seen other programs in other conferences across the nation play since the final weekend of August. Playing a season safely can be done. By starting the season in November, it will give the student-athletes the opportunity to showcase their skills, do so in a safe manner and potentially help their future to move on to the next level. I, personally, am excited for the college football season to return to Mount Pleas-

ant, especially after seeing teams across the country start their season and how insane the upsets have been week after week. When I wrote about the disappointment of the cancellation in September, I wrote about how football is one of the backbones of my family. We were able to watch football as a family a few weekends ago and it was one of the more wholesome weekends as of late; it created a sense of the normalcy we crave. Professionally speaking, having a frontrow seat to history is a privilege. This pandemic has taught me to not take anything for granted — football season included. Reporter Christian Booher and I are excited to bring you a closer look at the action this season with our coverage at Central Michigan Life to give you a perspective of what football amid a global pandemic is like. We, like you, are excited for the season and we’re ready for it to get underway. It’s good to be back in MACtion.
