The 2-0 Broncos of Western Michigan are looking to complete part two of their 3-team State-of-Illinois sweep this season by playing the Fighting Illini in Champaign on Saturday afternoon.
After an exhilarating week one win over Northwestern (their first opponent in Illinois), coach P.J. Fleck’s WMU Broncos started their home slate with a bloodbath against the North Carolina Central Eagles in week two: Final score 70-21. The Broncos offense was monstrous against NCC, clearing 600 yards on their way to four passing and five rushing touchdowns. The 10th touchdown came on a punt return late in the first half.
