KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Western Michigan football fell to ACC opponent Syracuse 55-42 on Friday night inside Waldo Stadium, despite a 27-point halftime deficit and career performances from juniors D'Wayne Eskridge and John Wassink.
Eskridge had eight receptions for a career-high 240 yards and two touchdowns against the Orange, becoming the first Bronco to have over 200 receiving yards since 2016 NFL Draft No. 5 overall pick Corey Davis. Eskridge's 240 receiving yards tied for the 12th most in a single-game in Mid-American Conference history.
Eskridge torched the Syracuse secondary on Friday night, becoming the first receiver to go over 200 yards against the Orange since Ernest Wilford of Virginia Tech did so back in 2001.
