Defense may win championships, but offense wins Popeyes Bahamas Bowls.
Western Michigan outlasted Middle Tennessee in the 2015 version, 45-31, thanks to an incredible performance from its offensive stars. Running back Jamauri Bogan tallied 215 rushing yards and four touchdowns on only 19 carries, quarterback Zach Terrell threw for 297 yards and two scores and wide receivers Corey Davis and Daniel Braverman combined for 284 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
There were simply too many weapons for the Blue Raiders defense to contain for the entire four quarters, and Mitch Fick of Fox 17 in West Michigan congratulated the Broncos program for an impressive turnaround and its first bowl win in school history:
1-11 in 2013.
