Live updates: Can Sac. State do it on a cold, rainy Wednesday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium?
Central Michigan hosts Sacramento State for the Hornets' first taste of MACtion in the Midwest on a cold, rainy Wednesday evening.
MT. PLEASANT — Central Michigan (4-5, 2-3 MAC) play host to the MAC’s new entrant, Sacramento State (2-8, 1-6 MAC), for some mid-week MACtion at Kelly/Shorts Stadium on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
The Chippewas are fresh off a win last Wednesday at Ford Field in some Motor City MACtion, steamrolling Eastern Michigan in a 35-7 win that was close to a 35-0 shutout.
Sacramento State comes to mid-Michigan after two of its best performances of the season, almost beating Toledo after getting its first FBS win over the season the week prior, vs. Kent State.
Kickoff temperatures will be in the mid-40s, and there's a light mist and rain expected for much of the night for the Hornets' first taste of MACtion in the Midwest.
Follow along for live updates from Kelly/Shorts Stadium all game long with plenty of coverage to come.
Availability reports
Defensive injuries aplenty for CMU — three veteran LBs, a trio of DBs and three more DL/DE are all OUT.
And then DL Max Van Fleet is questionable. Not great facing Sac. State's Isaiah Ene, among others.
Top two QBs out for Sac. State s0 Brian Salazar, a sophomore, will presumably start.
