He was on schedule to claim a spot on the active roster when the leukemia returned. He began treatment in October 2014. • Nash served as CMU’s honorary captain for the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl in 2014. • After Nash’s untimely passing, new head coach Bonamego made a promise that Nash would always be a part of the CMU football family. • To honor Nash, 37 different Chippewas have worn Nash’s No. 21 since the 2015 season • Seven Chippewas have had the honor of wearing No. 21 twice: defensive back Kavon Frazier, quarterback Cooper Rush, defensive linemen Joe Ostman, defensive back Amari Coleman, tight end Tyler Conklin, wide receiver Corey Willis and linebacker Malik Fountain. • Two athletes have had the honor of wearing the No. 21 Jersey three times, and that is Nash’s close friends and former teammates, defensive back Josh Cox and wide receiver Devon Spalding. • Stefon Armstead was the first to wear the No. 21 Nash jersey.

SEVEN MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE TITLES (1979, 1980, 1990, 1994, 2006, 2007 & 2009) 9 Central Michigan at Eastern Michigan HEAD COACH John Bonamego FOURTH SEASON 22-26

In three seasons as a collegiate head football coach, John Bonamego has led Central Michigan to three bowl games, a victory over a Top-25-ranked team, two victories over opponents from Power 5 conferences, and one Mid-American Conference West Division co-championship. Bonamego became the 28th head coach in Central Michigan football history on Feb. 8, 2015. He played at CMU for the legendary Herb Deromedi in the mid 1980s, and he proclaimed the position his “dream job” as he became the first CMU alum to lead the program since Bill Kelly from 1951-66. Just months after being named to lead the Chippewas, Bonamego was diagnosed with cancer and underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Bonamego was pronounced cancer free in November 2015, just as the Chippewas were surging down the stretch, winning five of their last six regular- season games. Bonamego led the Chippewas to an 8-5 finish including 6-2 in the Mid-American Conference in 2017, and to a berth in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Included in CMU’s victories was a 45-28 road triumph over Big 12 member Kansas, and a mid-late season surge during which the Chippewas won six of seven games. Among the Chippewas’ wins was a dramatic come-from-behind 35-28 victory over bitter rival Western Michigan in Kalamazoo before a national television audience.
