To label last week’s matchup against Michigan State as “disappointing” is an understatement.
Western Michigan’s defense gave new life to a struggling Spartans offense, allowing 51 points and 582 total yards in East Lansing. Whether it was through the air or on the ground, Michigan State capitalized on nearly every possession, racking up 31 first downs and averaging 8.7 yards per snap.
The Broncos are now 1-1 with a return trip to Kalamazoo on the horizon. Awaiting them is a familiar foe from last September, one Western Michigan dispatched by a 34-15 margin on the road. The opponent, the 2-0 Georgia State Panthers, are reveling in the limelight after upsetting Tennessee in Neyland Stadium to kick off their season.
