Western Michigan saw a huge opportunity slip through their fingertips. Michigan State played a pretty bad game compared to their normal selves. Unfortunately, the Broncos shot themselves in the foot too many times to capitalize on those mistakes. Dropped passes, missed tackles, and poor blocking effectively handed the victory to the Spartans.
Last week I suggested that the Broncos keep working on their passing game. Now I demand it. There is no way that a 42% completion rate will cut it in the competitive MAC play with a spread offense.
I don’t want to beat a dead horse, but Western Michigan need to eliminate the easy mistakes.
