Can CCSU Be Better?

Central Connecticut last season had some major struggles, and they ended up with a 3-8 record overall. In the last game against Saint Francis, the offense only scored 14 points while the defense gave up 59 points. To end the season they lost four games and in three of the four games the offense scored at least 23 points.

The defense just didn’t make enough stops, and that led to the defeat. Five players have been named to the All-Conference preseason team. Kimal Clark is only a junior, and he was a standout last year, finishing the season with 89 tackles. Elijah Howard is back after being a difference-maker for the offense last season. He had 119.5 all-purpose yards per game last year. CCSU will meet Fordham after this game.

Central Michigan Has High Hopes

Central Michigan has high expectations for this season and even though they lost a few key players, they believe they will be good. Under center for Central Michigan is Burt Emanual Jr and if he can stay healthy, he should be a difference-maker for this team. He was hurt last season and not having him is a big loss. This is a veteran-led team at wide receiver. 

Tyson Davis, Jesse Prewitt, and Chris Parker were the top wide receivers last season, and they are all back this year. On defense, Central Michigan isn’t all that good, on the defensive side, and they are going to need the defense to be better here. Donte Kent is back in the secondary, and they are going to lean on him here. Central Michigan will face FIU and Illinois following this game.
