The Western Michigan Broncos (5-7, 4-4 MAC) beat the Toledo Rockets (7-5, 5-3 MAC) in Kalamazoo on a Senior Day to close out the season, bringing the assembled home fans a triumphant 20-14 victory. It was both a defensive coordinator’s dream and a punting exhibition, as the Rockets and Broncos combined for 24 punts in a game with 37 total drives. Most people probably don’t pay attention to how many possessions each team has in a game, so I should tell you that 37 is insane.
There were 17 three-and-outs in this game. Both defenses were spectacular, but the problems for the offenses were beyond that.
