(DY #1) WMU get's primtime slot and shows up 
Posted on October 2, 2011 at 05:36 PM.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Primetime on a Thursday night. It couldn’t get any better for Western Michigan who has been trying to get media attention. But it wasn’t the prettiest of games, but Western got it done. In the Bronco’s hardest conference test, they managed a 30-13 win against the Owls. Lee Holiday once again had an off day, but was able to prevail. Statistics wise it was very average.


Living Up To Star Status – Wide out Eric Montgomery was a Freshman All-American last year. So far this year he hadn’t made any noise to back that up. Well that all changed today. His stat line today was Catches: 14 Yards: 144 TD: 1 Long: 19. That is about double what he had coming into the game. Thanks to this effort he now mirrors his freshman’s stats, with 3 regular season game remaining.

And The Other Stars – Lee Holiday had an average game for his standards. Slightly more than 280 yards passing and 2 touchdowns. The big knock was two picks that ended long drives. Kevin Brown did his thing once again, 10 catches for 79 yards and 1 touchdown. Dave Myers had a good day on the ground, with over 130 yards, but no touchdown runs. Superstar corner Joe Austin got 1 INT and defensive tackle Michael Clay recovered a fumble for a touchdown.





Season Winding down – Western has 3 games left before their conference championship game. They look to have the MAC West locked with the remaining teams having losing records. Lee Holiday passed the 30 touchdown mark, while Dave Myers passed the 1000 yard rushing mark. Kevin brown now has 65 catches on the year to go with 12 touchdown grabs. Brown also is getting calls about the NFL after showing that he was no joke at TE. A big question is if superstar corner Joe Austin jumps to the NFL or stays for his senior season. He is a projected late 2nd rounder, 5th best CB.
