WMU takes MAC regular-season title with 31-21 win over EMU, awaits league championship game opponent

Western Michigan defeated Eastern Michigan 31-21 on Tuesday night to secure the Mid-American Conference regular-season title and a spot in the league championship game. The Broncos, now 8-4 overall and 7-1 in conference play, capitalized on four turnovers from Eastern Michigan, scoring 28 points as a result. Broc Lowry played a crucial role, rushing for two touchdowns and accumulating 92 yards on 18 carries. Talique Williams and Jalen Buckley also contributed significantly, with Williams scoring on a 36-yard jet sweep and Buckley on a 4-yard run. Despite Eastern Michigan quarterback Noah Kim's 327 passing yards and two touchdowns, his three interceptions proved costly. The Broncos will face an opponent yet to be determined in the MAC championship at Ford Field in Detroit on December 6, marking their first appearance in the title game since 2016.
