No. 17 Western Michigan shines on national TV, 52-20
MUNCIE, Ind. — Corey Davis caught 12 passes for a conference-record 272 yards with three touchdowns Tuesday night to help No. 17 Western Michigan rout Ball State 52-20.
The Broncos (9-0, 5-0 Mid-American Conference, No. 23 CFP) won their 11th straight game, the longest streak in school history. The previous record of 10 had stood since 1941.
Broncos quarterback Zach Terrell went 23 of 34 for 367 yards, with Davis getting open all night and making the big plays look routine.
“He always makes my job easy and he makes me look good,” Terrell said. “It was an elite effort and I couldn’t be prouder of this guy. He deserves that record.”
Ball State (4-5, 1-4) never had a chance.
The Cardinals played without injured starting quarterback Riley Neal. His replacement, Jack Milas, went 20 of 38 for 197 yards with one touchdown. But he also threw two interceptions in the first half, one of which was returned by Darius Phillips 75 yards for a touchdown.
