KALAMAZOO, MI - Touchdowns and turnovers.
There are dozens of meaningful stats in a college football season, but those are the only two the Western Michigan football team keeps on display in the Seelye Center.
After leading the nation with a plus-18 turnover margin in 2016, first-year coach Tim Lester knew repeating that success would be a key factor in defending the team's Mid-American Conference title.
It took just 10 seconds into Saturday's league opener against Ball State for the Broncos and the 18,216 fans in attendance to see how turnovers and touchdowns impact a game.
