A young Central Michigan squad battled through injuries and inexperience throughout the 2011 season. A remarkable 24 different players made their first collegiate start in 2011, while 10 true freshmen played significant roles during their first season in the maroon and gold and eight or fewer seniors were available to see playing time during the second half of the season. The impact of the freshman class was most noticeable in the offensive skill positions. Titus Davis caught 40 passes for a team-high 751 yards and scored a team-leading eight touchdowns, while Courtney Williams tied for second on the team with five touchdown catches. CMU was the only team in the country featuring two freshmen with at least five touchdown receptions, and both Davis and Williams scored touchdowns on their first career receptions—Davis on a 67-yard catch against South Carolina State and Williams on a 79-yard catch on the first play of his college career against Northern Illinois.
