When 2020 began, Western Michigan was breaking in a ton of new offensive players to replace some program legends. Gone were 2019 All-MAC first team performers RB LeVante Bellamy, OL Luke Juriga, TE Giovanni Ricci, return specialist Keith Mixon, and All-MAC third team performer QB Jon Wassink. Bellamy was also the MAC offensive player of the year in 2019.
So what did WMU do offensively get new players settled in and headed in the right direction in 2020?
They rode the offensive line.
In the 58-13 destruction of Akron in the season opener, the Broncos got behind the offensive line to set the tone.
