DETROIT, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – After giving up a field goal to open the scoring, Western Michigan University dominated play against Nevada and cruised to a 52-24 win in the Quick Lane Bowl Monday.
Each of the Broncos’ first five possessions ended in scores with four reaching the end zone, and by the time they punted for the first time, it was a 28-point game in the third quarter.
Western Michigan’s ground game rolled up 352 yards and four touchdowns, and the effort was complimented by huge plays in special teams starting in the game’s early stages when Sean Tyler, who also led the Broncos in rushing with 146 yards, ran a kickoff back 100 yards for the first touchdown of the game.
In addition to being the second bowl win in WMU program history it is the first for head coach Tim Lester, who improves to 32-25 overall across five seasons at his alma mater.
