2022 MAC Football Week 1 Game Recap: Michigan State 35, Western Michigan 13

The Broncos lost a tough one to the Michigan State Spartans 35-13 on Friday night in Spartan Stadium.

Few expected the Broncos to bring the fight to East Lansing the way they did, but it was ultimately not enough. There were some inflection points in the game that could have sent the game in a different direction, but poorly timed penalties negated them.

The game opened with both teams trading three-and-out series. On the Broncos’ second drive of the game, they finally got the offense moving. Salopeck completed a 12-yard pass to Corey Crooms and nine yard catch to Kaveon Mack to keep the drive alive.
