Brock Lowery threw two touchdown passes and Western Michigan scored 28 points off four turnovers in a 31-21 victory over Eastern Michigan on Tuesday night, winning the Mid-American Conference regular-season title and a berth in the league championship game.
The Broncos (8-4, 7-1) will have to wait until four 5-2 teams play a conference schedule on Friday and Saturday before they know who they'll face in the MAC Championship at Ford Field in Detroit on Dec. 6.
The title game appearance will be WMU's first since 2016, when it defeated Ohio State 29-23.
Trailing 7-0, the Broncos scored the next 31 points before the Eagles (4-8, 3-5) scored twice in the fourth quarter. All four touchdowns came after turnovers – two interceptions and two fumbles.
Lowry scored on runs of 33 and 1 yard, and Taliq Williams scored on a 36-yard run. Jalen Buckley scored on a 4-yard run.
Lowry rushed for 92 yards on 18 carries and threw for 100 more. Buckley and Williams combined for 137 more yards.
Noah Kim was 24 of 41 for 327 yards and two touchdowns for the Eagles, but was intercepted three times. Donte McMillan rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and had four catches for 126 yards and another score.
