Western routs Kent State in homecoming win

After suffering a 45-20 defeat against Ball State on October 9, Western’s football team embarked on homecoming week with a sense of disappointment, as their four-game winning streak had been abruptly shattered.

Despite a commendable performance from the Bronco defense, which holds the top spot in the MAC for rushing defense and is ranked 26th nationally, the offense’s four turnovers in the Ball State game proved to be detrimental.

The Broncos definitely made amends for their offensive struggles against Kent State.

The Western team demonstrated an impressive offensive performance, accumulating an astonishing 648 total yards. Additionally, they maintained dominance in possession, controlling the ball for an impressive duration of 37 minutes and 41 seconds against the Golden Flashes.

After receiving the kickoff, the Broncos took control and secured the first score of the game with a 27-yard touchdown pass from Kaleb Eleby to Skyy Moore. Sean Tyler’s 21-yard rush on second down provided an early momentum for the team during the eight-play drive.

Eleby’s electrifying performance consisted of three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. The talented sophomore completed 15 out of 22 passes, accumulating an impressive 307 passing yards. Additionally, he showcased his agility by gaining 33 yards through three carries on the ground.

In the game, Moore managed to accumulate a total of 140 yards on eight receptions and successfully scored two touchdowns. On the other hand, Jaylen Hall contributed with five catches, amassing an impressive 144 yards, and also scored a touchdown.

The Broncos’ ground assault resulted in a total of 341 yards gained and five touchdowns. Tyler contributed significantly to this feat, with 17 carries resulting in 169 yards gained and one touchdown.

In his impressive performance, La’Darius Jefferson rushed for a total of 62 yards on 18 carries, scoring a touchdown along the way.

Nick Mihalic, the kicker, scored a total of 16 points. He achieved this by making three field goals and successfully converting seven out of eight point-after attempts.

In the game that marked the end of a two-game homestand for Western, they managed to avoid any turnovers. This victory also allowed them to extend their winning streak against Kent State to three games, giving them a series total of 36 wins, 20 losses, and 1 tie.

Toledo’s comeback effort falls short against Central Michigan in OT

Last week in Mount Pleasant, the Rockets suffered a 26-23 overtime defeat against Central Michigan, causing them to drop below .500 overall and fall to 1-2 in conference play. As a result, they currently hold the last place in the MAC West standings.

With approximately three minutes remaining in the third quarter, Dequan Finn, the freshman quarterback, ignited a comeback effort by dashing for a 3-yard touchdown. This brought the score to 20-10 in favor of Central.

The Chippewas took the lead, 23-16, with two successful field goals from Toledo and one from Central. Finn managed to score the game-tying touchdown with an 18-yard run in the last 35 seconds of regulation.

In the beginning of overtime, Central took possession of the ball and successfully scored a 38-yard field goal courtesy of Marshall Meeder. However, on third-and-12 at CMU’s 27-yard line, Finn was tackled behind the line of scrimmage. This led to a 51-yard field goal attempt by Thomas Cluckey, which unfortunately missed to the left.

In the game, Finn completed 15 out of 32 passes for a total of 208 yards in the air. Additionally, he made 25 carries, accumulating 43 rushing yards and scoring two touchdowns.
