Western Michigan is bowling in the Dallas metroplex once more. With a star-studded senior class flying in from Kalamazoo, the Broncos are on a mission to win their second-ever bowl game and their first since 2015.
The Broncos (7-5) face a revamped Western Kentucky program. Under first year head coach Tyson Helton, the Hilltoppers improved by five wins and clinched their first winning record since Jeff Brohm’s final season at the helm in 2016.
The SERVPRO First Responder Bowl has plenty of former names — the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl, the Heart of Dallas Bowl, and the TicketCity Bowl — but this will be the first contest under the new name due to a bizarre scenario in 2018.
