Quinten Dormady threw three touchdown passes, Jonathan Ward ran for two scores, and Central Michigan kicked off the coach Jim McElwain era with its 12th straight win against FCS opponents, 38-21 against Albany in Thursday night's season opener.

08/12/19 - Brian Edwards, rSr/2023, Central Michigan + More +

Brian Edwards was arrested for first-degree misdemeanor battery of his girlfriend in May and spent time at the Alachua County Jail, but the charges were later dropped in June due to insufficient evidence for the state attorney's office to pursue the case. His girlfriend declined to press charges, and the Florida defensive back decided to leave the Gators through the transfer portal just a month later. "This was a very tough decision for me," Edwards said in his statement on Twitter. "I have built great relationships, impacted others, and grown so much throughout the time attending the university."

Now the off the field incident with his girlfriend may or may not have played a role in Edwards' decision to move destinations. However, in his post online, he noted his time in Gainesville had "some ups and downs." Regardless of what he meant, Edwards isn't on Florida's campus anymore. He's 1,175 miles away in the small college town of Mount Pleasant and, of course, playing for the coach that once recruited him - Jim McElwain. - Central Michigan Life

08/08/19 - Quinten Dormady, rSr/2020, Central Michigan + More +

The first-year coach of the Central Michigan football team said senior graduate transfer Quinten Dormady is the starting quarterback. But that doesn't guarantee he's going to start the Aug. 29 season opener against Albany, McElwain said, as another signal caller could potentially emerge. Dormady, who is a rare double graduate transfer from Tennessee and Houston, has been taking reps with the first team for the majority of practice since the Chippewas opened camp on Aug. 3.

McElwain attributed Dormady's leadership to his experience starting six games for Tennessee two seasons ago. "He's played in big games," McElwain said. "He's been there and he understands the system. The other guys are doing a good job, but he's the starter right now." - Central Michigan Life

08/05/19 - Brian Edwards, rSr/2023, Central Michigan + More +

When first-year Central Michigan coach Jim McElwain accepted the job to lead the Chippewas, he brought a majority of the old coaches he associated with to Mount Pleasant. Now, he's nabbed one of his old players in defensive back Brian Edwards through the transfer portal, a source close to the team told Central Michigan Life. Barring a waiver from the NCAA, Edwards is expected to miss the 2019 season due to transfer rules. The safety has two years of eligibility remaining. In his two seasons playing for Florida, of which one was in 2017 for McElwain, Edwards played in 18 games. He spent time on defense and special teams. The 6-foot-2, 192-pound defensive back was expected to be in a backup position for the Gators in 2019. - Central Michigan Life
