Receivers shine as Broncos wrap up spring play

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Western Michigan football team held its annual Wooden Oar Spring Game on Saturday on a 70 degree sunny day in front of 2,950 people at Waldo Stadium. The Broncos featured about 90 plays in about an hour of real time action.

Backup quarterback Tom Flacco continued his hot play from the end of his rookie season, moving the offense with ease at times on Saturday. He rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown on nine carries and threw the ball for 74 yards and another TD.

Michael Henry, who is one of the many Broncos looking to fill the void left by the departure of Daniel Braverman, led the team with four catches for 63 yards.

Wide receiver Carrington Thompson has received praise this spring for stepping up as a threat opposite Corey Davis, and he showed why on the first play. Thompson caught a 53-yard pass to take it into the red zone for the offense, setting up a touchdown by Jarvion Franklin. Thompson’s catch was one of three on the day for him, totaling 85 yards.

Defensively, Keion Adams led the Western Michigan defensive line with two sacks on the day. He was part of a unit that featured four sacks total and two takeaways, one by Malik Rucker and one by Davontae Ginwright. Ginwright’s was later nullified due to holding away from the play.

 “I think we’re a lot tougher. We’re tougher than we’ve ever been,” head coach P.J. Fleck said.  “This was a very difficult spring mentally, physically and emotionally. They [student-athletes] have huge visions for this year. They’re the ones to go on the field and accomplish that so we wanted to put pressure on them.”
