KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The Western Michigan recorded its first shutout of a Mid-American Conference opponent since 2016 as the Broncos blanked Ball State 42-0 at Stafford-Smith Field at Waldo Stadium on Saturday.
Redshirt sophomore quarterback Broc Lowry had a career-best day. The Canfield, Ohio, native threw for 241 yards on a 23-of-27 passing and two touchdowns. He also racked up 108 yards on the ground on 13 carries and a touchdown. Lowry became the first Bronco quarterback to run for 100 yards in a game since Paul Jorgensen did so against Northern Illinois on Sept.
