KALAMAZOO, MI - The circumstances surrounding Reece Goddard's first extended action were less than ideal, but that's usually the case for back-up quarterbacks when they're thrown into unexpected duty.
With 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game at Eastern Michigan, Goddard watched starting quarterback Jon Wassink get slammed to the turf and stay down for several minutes.
Locked in a 17-17 game against one of the Mid-American Conference's top defenses, the true freshman from Kirkland, Missouri, snapped up his chinstrap and ultimately led the Broncos to a 20-17 overtime win against EMU.
