Finally, after an offseason full of conference realignment and heartburn, the 2023 college football season kicks off week one on Thursday.
Western Michigan hosts the Saint Francis Red Flash and starts the Lance Taylor Era in Kalamazoo. The Broncos open the season with what is supposed to be a win against an FCS opponent, but the Broncos have major question marks surrounding their program and roster.
The offensive line brings important consistency to the offense during a scheme change. The Broncos are transitioning from a deliberately paced run-first offense to an up-tempo passing attack. Hayden Wolff transferred to Western after throwing for more than 3,000 yards the previous season and figures to play a role in the offense.
