Game-day research

Chippewas at Eagles preview: what our research says

Central Michigan arrives at 2-5, with a 2-2 home record and an 0-3 road record. The 27-28 loss to Miami (Ohio) followed defeats against Western Michigan and Ohio. Drinkall's tenure is now in its second season, and the latest game brought another injury at linebacker.

Jadyn Glasser has taken over at quarterback because Angel Flores cannot return this season after ankle surgery. Against Miami, Glasser delivered 221 passing yards and a touchdown while completing 18 of 31 attempts. CMU managed 64 rushing yards in that game. The offense has used a more even mix of passing and running since the quarterback change.

The receiving group must adjust without Langston Lewis. He caught 10 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown against Miami before a team suspension, with no return date announced. Xavier White and James Reinbold will also miss the rest of the season. Mayson Hitchens supplied 11 tackles against Miami, while Justin Taylor scored on an interception return.

Tonight takes CMU to Ford Field for the Eastern Michigan game at 6:30 p.m. CT. The Eagles are 3-5 and list Brogan McCaughey at quarterback while Noah Kim's injury status remains unresolved. The official game-day availability report is still pending. The lineups below are tentative, and older absence entries do not establish who is unavailable tonight.

Season at time of writing

Central Michigan is 2-5, with a 2-2 home record and an 0-3 road record. The Chippewas have lost three consecutive games, most recently 27-28 against Miami (Ohio). That game produced a season-high 221 passing yards, but CMU managed 64 rushing yards.

The news

Glasser changes the offensive approach

Glasser retains the quarterback job after completing 18 of 31 attempts for 221 yards and a touchdown against Miami (Ohio). With Flores unavailable for the rest of the season, CMU has moved toward a more even balance between passing and running.

Lewis suspended after standout performance

Lewis caught 10 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown against Miami (Ohio). He was subsequently suspended from team activities after an arrest for operating while intoxicated, and no return date has been announced.

Defense loses White and Reinbold

White and Reinbold will miss the remainder of the season with injuries whose details have not been disclosed.

Shared roles on the depth chart

Blue and Brock Townsend share the leading running-back listing, while Rusty VanWetzinga IV and Landon Swanson are alternatives at fullback. Naves and Nasir Williams are also co-listed at receiver. Peters leads the team-note tight-end chart, but Jaden Allen started against Miami, leaving that projection unsettled.
