Kalamazoo, Michigan - Plunk. And also picked. Those were the only 2 things that went wrong for Western Michigan in their matchup against Colorado. WMU was nearly perfect in their 35-14 win against the Buffalos. Their two mistakes were an early interception and a double field goal miss that hit the cross bar TWICE.

The game started off rough for the Broncos early. On their first possession Holiday threw an ill-advised throw into double coverage and was picked. Colorado hoped to capitalize but couldn�t. Lucky for WMU they didn�t repeat the same performance as week one. Lee and his team were able to drive and score. After that it was over from there. Western scored 28 unanswered points in the first half. The game ended at a 35-14 score that could have been easily 38-7 at least. Oh well.

On a sour note for Western Michigan their Heisman hopeful Dave Myers had a solid game but was dropped from the top 5 in the watch list. He did though run for 132 yards on 17 attempts but had no touchdowns. Lee Holiday on the other hand had yet another good performance by going for 15-26 and 251 yards. He also had 4 TD�s to 1 INT. Maybe he can creep into the Heisman list if keeps performances like this up.

Colorado did have some bright spots. They were able to pass the ball pretty effectively early, just simply couldn�t finish drives. They turned the ball over twice at 2 very costly times. Western did also hold them to -1 yards rushing. Not good at all.
Next week Colorado plays #18 Pittsburgh where Pitt is heavily favored by 3 scores. Western Michigan has a rematch against UCONN who sent their old coach Cubit packing last year. As many recall Joesph Williams stepped in and took them on a 9 game winning streak and a bowl win. His current collegiate record stands at 11-1.
