Broncos Blanked at NIU

DEKALB, Ill. – The Western Michigan football team fell on its final road game of the season, 24-0, at Northern Illinois on Tuesday.

The Broncos were held to just 209 yards of offense on the night by the Huskies' defense.

NIU took a 7-0 lead on a 1-yard touchdown run by Antario Brown with 16 seconds left in the first quarter. Brown would score again, this time on a 66-yard run at 7:13 in the second quarter to push the lead to 14-0.

WMU got the ball to open the third quarter, but the opening drive stalled in NIU territory. The Huskies went up 21-0 later in the third quarter when Dane Pardridge returned a punt 55 yards for the score. Kanon Woodill later added a 25-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to set the final.

Western Michigan wraps up the 2023 season next Tuesday hosting Bowling Green at 7 p.m. The game will be carried live on ESPNU and the Bronco Media Network. Tickets are available at www.wmubroncos.com/tickets.
