Western Michigan uses trick play to create a game-winning touchdown against Toledo


Western Michigan came to win Wednesday night.

The Broncos did not lose to the Toledo Rockets in the mid-American conference shutdown, and the last four plays of their final drive showed why.

Western Michigan were four points down with two minutes left in the game when they were able to get a side nosedive kick. Quarterback Caleb Albie threw an 18-yard pass to De Wayne Escridge, but did not target the game-winning field as he was four points down.

With 20 seconds left, Albie reached the line and instead of spiking the ball he made a spike and threw the touchdown pass into a wide open jelly hole.

The touchdown and extra issue put the Broncos three points above the Rockets.

Toledo had 17 seconds to score on his next drive but couldn’t. The Broncos won the game, 41-38.

“We have two different plays. “I won’t give you their names, but someone thought it was a spike, and it’s gone, and it’s supposed to be a true spike,” Broncos coach Tim Lester told reporters after the game, according to Amelva. .com. “I told them at the start of the drive that when they came I would use it and just reminded them of some of the main points, but we run that play every week.

“Like I said, in at least 20 years of coaching, I’ve never called him – I’ve called him a second time, but the de-coordinator is called a timeout; It will work, too. “

There were only two catches in the hall throughout the game – one of which proved to be more important. Ascridge led the Broncos with 131 yards and seven catches for touchdowns. Sky Moore also had a touchdown catch.
