This was the Western Michigan football field before Saturdays game against Eastern Michigan.

This is what the same field looked like on Saturday morning.

The Eastern Michigan team probably wished the snow was still on the field to make this game remotely close. The Western Michigan Broncos beat the Eagles 51-7 today.

While the win seemingly came easy to Western Michigan, a big game note was the injury to Freshman running back Jarvion Franklin about 6 minutes into the 2 quarter. The word on Franklin is an ankle injury but he did leave the field under his own power yet, didn’t return to the game.

With Franklin down the Broncos sophomore quarterback Zach Terrell had a passing field day. Terrell finished the game with 357 yards and 4 touch downs before being pulled in the third for freshman Cameron Thomas.

    • Sophomore Corey Davis lead the receiving core  with 134 yards and 1 touch down. Shinning for the sophomore class continued with Daniel Braverman caught 2 touch downs on the day along with 50 yards receiving.

    The scoring started early for the Broncos after freshman Darius Phillips returned the opening kickoff 58 yards. Eastern Michigan didn’t score until 4:03 left in the third quarter. Western Michigan didn’t even commit a penalty until the third quarter.

    The Western Michigan Broncos go to 7-3 overall (5-1 MAC) while Eastern Michigan fall to 2-8 (1-5 MAC) on the season. Next up for the Broncos is the Chippewas of Central Michigan.

    Fans of Western Michigan hope that Franklin will be ready to go by next week as the team takes on their biggest in state rival. With a win over Central Michigan the Broncos will knock the Chippewas out of contention for a MAC title.
