Western Michigan secured its MAC Championship title with a resounding 23-13 victory over Miami of Ohio on Saturday. The Broncos' offense was led by Jalen Buckley, who broke free with two long touchdown runs - 67 and 64 yards - in the early stages of the game. Buckley's 67-yard touchdown on the third play of the game gave Western Michigan an early lead. The Broncos continued their dominance in the first half, with Palmer Domschke adding three field goals, including a 50-yard shot. By halftime, Western Michigan held a 16-6 lead, which was extended to 23-6 after Buckley's second touchdown run in the third quarter. Miami, which had rallied from a 17-point deficit in their earlier matchup, was unable to mount a similar comeback this time around. Despite closing the gap to 23-13 with 6.5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the RedHawks were unable to capitalize on the opportunity. Western Michigan's defense held strong, and the team ultimately secured the championship. Jalen Buckley finished the game with 193 yards on 19 carries, a career high for the Broncos' star running back. Broc Lowry contributed with 111 yards passing and 65 yards rushing, while the team's total offense yielded 286 yards on the ground and 397 overall. Miami's Kam Perry had 101 receiving yards, but the RedHawks' total offense was limited to 272 yards. Both teams will now look forward to participating in a bowl game. Miami will be making its ninth appearance in the past 10 seasons. The Mid-American Conference does not have a specific tie-in for its conference champion, but the Broncos will take pride in their championship title. The Broncos' victory marks a significant achievement in the world of college football, and fans can look forward to their team's bowl game performance.
