Central Michigan prepares for challenging matchup against Miami Hurricanes

Central Michigan Chippewas are set to face Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium. Under head coach Matt Drinkall, who posted a 7-6 record in 2025, the team is analyzed through a preseason evaluation system. CMU's recruiting classes and overall ranking in Bill Connelly's SP+ are low, with challenges to overcome in the Mid-American Conference. The Chippewas have significant roster turnover, with 16 players exiting via the transfer portal, yet return key players like quarterback Angel Flores. The team aims for improvement in the upcoming season, particularly with a crucial October matchup against Western Michigan on the horizon.
