DeKalb, Illinois (AP) --- Jalen Buckley ran for 133 yards and two touchdowns,
quarterback Broc Lowry ran for three touchdowns and Western Michigan rallied
from an early deficit to beat Northern Illinois 35-19 on Tuesday night.
Buckley amassed his yardage total on 24 carries, Lowry ran 13 times for 100
yards and Devin Miles went over 100 yards for the first time in his career at
105.
Chavon Wright ran 21 times for 92 yards for Northern Illinois.
Lowry's 18-yard scoring run a little past the midway point of the second
quarter brought the Broncos (7-4, 6-1 Mid-American Conference) within 13-7.
Northern Illinois (3-8, 2-5) turned the ball over on downs after running six
plays and gaining 20 yards. The Broncos followed that with a seven-play,
39-yard drive that ended when Buckley ran it in from the 8 with 40 seconds left
before halftime for a 14-13 advantage.
Lowry ran it in from the 8 midway through the third to make it 21-13. Buckley
and Lowry each added 1-yard TD runs in the fourth to seal it.
On the opening drive, Northern Illinois scored on a 43-yard touchdown run by
Telly Johnson to give the Huskies a 7-0 lead. Two minutes later, Andrew Glass
kicked a 39-yard field goal for a 10-0 lead.
Western Michigan snapped a three-game losing streak in the series. It was the
final MAC match-up between the teams as NIU departs for the Mountain West
Conference next season.
