First things first: Buster Bronco’s new look was met with a standing ovation:
The Western Michigan Broncos and the Idaho Vandals squared off in front of a crowd of nervous Kalamazoo natives. Amidst a half-dozen Bronco injuries going into the game, Western Michigan walked away the victors. After the smoke cleared and the band died down, the final score was 37-28 in favor of the Broncos.
Western Michigan got the ball rolling offensively with a surprisingly potent passing game. Jon Wassink was able to toss for 212 yards and his first passing touchdown.
