Related Topics: Freshman

Central Michigan football will face a new quarterback when it takes on Western Michigan.

WMU quarterback Jon Wassink suffered a broken collarbone in the fourth quarter against Eastern Michigan on Oct. 21.

Backup freshman quarterback Reece Goddard proved up to the challenge, however, as he led the Broncos to a 20-17 win in overtime.

Before his injury, Wassink led the conference in passing efficiency and finished the EMU game completing 16-for-24 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown.

CMU (4-4, 2-2 in Mid-American Conference) takes on rival WMU (5-3, 3-1 in MAC) at 8 p.
