Calamity, disaster, mishap, catastrophe. Pick up a thesaurus and you’ll find thousands of words to describe Western Michigan’s performance in a cold and rainy Kalamazoo atmosphere Thursday night.
The Broncos dropped their second straight home game in embarrassing fashion. Fueled by six turnovers, the Ohio Bobcats demolished Western Michigan, 59-14 to clinch bowl eligibility and win their fifth game in six tries.
It only took 30 minutes for the Bobcats to spoil the Broncos’ first night of November. Quarterback Nathan Rourke rushed for 68 yards, completed 12-of-14 passes for 149 yards, and accounted for five total touchdowns and 30 points on offense.
