The Western Michigan Broncos battled the mighty USC Trojans, who are ranked number #4 in the country. It wasn’t a flukey game where everything fell right into place for the Broncos. They just went toe to toe with the USC. Their defense played well against the mighty Trojans but in the end they proved too much for the Broncos. There is no shame in that.
The Broncos looked good on offense, establishing the run and establishing the Tim Lester era in the process. While they didn’t eventually win the game, the phrase “moral victory” certainly applies.
