Western Michigan opened their home portion of the schedule last week by welcoming FCS foe Illinois State to Kalamazoo, and the team was hungry to bounce back after a disappointing performance against Michigan in Week 1.
Bounce back they did.
The Broncos defense was dominant in their 28-0 win over the Redbirds, limiting the Redbirds offense to 57 yards for the game, corralling dual threat QB Bryce Jefferson and completely shutting down anything ISU wanted to do offensively.
