The Central Michigan Chippewas will take on the South Alabama Jaguars at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday at home. Both teams have set a high bar for this game after stand-out offensive performances in their previous games.
CMU came up short against the Oklahoma State Cowboys last Thursday, falling 58-44. The Chippewas were down 51-22 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Meanwhile, the sound you heard last week was the absolute smackdown South Alabama laid on the Nicholls Colonels. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 27 to nothing.
South Alabama's win lifted them to 1-0 while Central Michigan's loss dropped them down to 0-1. We'll see if South Alabama's success rolls on or if CMU is able to steal their positive momentum.
