Broc Lowry Accounts for Four Scores as Western Michigan Routs Kent State
Broc Lowry had a 39.5-point day, and the line explains why: 18 of 26 for 257 yards, three touchdown passes, and nine carries for 52 yards and a score. Western Michigan beat Kent State 38-7, and the Broncos are 4-2.
Western Michigan led from the first score to the last. Lowry hit Adam Parks for a 42-yard touchdown at 13:01 of the first quarter, ran in from two yards to open the second, and found Baylin Brooks from 28 yards with 0:33 left in the half. Kent State got one in between, a 20-yard touchdown from Dru DeShields to Brendyn Smith with 1:55 left in the second, but it was 21-7 at the half and Kent State never got closer than seven.
Dieter Kelly added a 31-yard field goal in the third, Lowry threw a four-yard touchdown to Parks, and Trey Petty scored from four yards out with 3:11 left. The Broncos finished with 472 yards to Kent State's 298, 210 of them on the ground, and the defense had five sacks. Kent State threw one interception and did not fumble.
The most interesting number on the Golden Flashes' side belongs to Wayne Harris, who caught 11 passes for 164 yards, which is 164 of his team's 223 passing yards. He had 27.4 fantasy points in a game his team never led, so that is a nice fantasy week and a long afternoon. Kent State is 2-4.
