Western Michigan hockey's "Double One-Timer" goal
It isn't often that you can actually see a set play develop in hockey. But, if you watch closely, you can see what the Western Michigan Broncos (who are wearing white) are trying to create here. On the power play in a recent game against Notre Dame, the Broncos set up a fake one-timer.
The play starts at the near point with winger Shane Berschbach. He and defenseman...

The Broncos put excitement into the game early with a perfectly executed flea-flicker to Jordan White. If you don’t know who Jordan White is, you will...

Video: Back-to-back trick plays can’t get Western Michigan past Purdue
Western Michigan has been running a "Carder2White" campaign all year to highlight the connection between quarterback Alex Carder and receiver Jordan White, and that relationship made the Little Caesars Bowl interesting — at least early — despite an eventual 37-32 loss to Purdue.
On its first play following a Purdue fumble in the first quarter, Western Michigan executed...

Little Caesars Bowl: Purdue fends off pesky Western Michigan
Western Michigan came oh so close to making a statement for the Mid-American Conference.
A victory over a Big Ten team—even a 6-6 Purdue team—would have been a huge win for the program.
But the Boilermakers held on after causing a fumble on the final drive, which was one of six Western Michigan turnovers, for a 37-32 win in the Little Caesars Bowl.
While the game was sloppy,...

Inside the numbers: The Toledo-WMU shootout
87 seconds of highlights can't really do a game with 18 touchdowns (and 1 field goal) justice, but Toledo played their second straight game in the 60s in defeating Western Michigan 66-63 on Tuesday night. This came a week after their 63-60 loss to Northern Illinois last week. The MAC! It's Faaaantastic! (Hey, it's not like the NBA is using that slogan right now.)...
