Western Michigan started with the ball and the Eagles made their presence felt quickly. A big hit on first down by Chris DeLaRosa set up a three and out for the Broncos and forced the punt on the opening drive. Likewise, the Broncos challenged Ellison and the offense didn’t allow a first down to get the ball back for the WMU offense. With the ball, the Bronco offense crossed midfield on their first play with a QB run. The offense then began a march down the field with a mixture of the run and pass, capping off the drive with a five-yard touchdown run to get on the board first halfway through the opening quarter, 7-0.
Eagles fall to Western Michigan, 49-31
