2021 Mid-American Conference Football Week 3 Game Recap: Western Michigan 44, Pittsburgh 41

For the past four years, there has been a sense that the Western Michigan Broncos haven’t been able to get over the hump.

Well, perhaps Saturday will serve as the day that the Broncos can shed that notion.

Coach Tim Lester got his signature win, and WMU march up and down Heinz Field on Saturday afternoon to knock off the Pitt Panthers by a final score of 44-41.

Sophomore QB Kaleb Eleby was fantastic, battling through an injury and a brutal on-field temperature to finish the day 23-of-35 for 336 yards and 3 TD’s. WR Skyy Moore, a Pittsburgh native, had a career day in his hometown, posting 11 catches for 124 yards and his first TD of the season.
