Northern Arizona players were ecstatic after earning the victory. One player was heard cheering, “We (expletive) run this state! It’s personal,” according to the Associated Press.

Western Michigan upsets Pittsburgh 44-41

The Western Michigan Broncos, representing the Mid American Conference, got an impressive win over the ACC’s Pittsburgh Panthers, despite both teams combining for more than 200 yards in penalties.

The Broncos relied on sophomore QB Kaleb Eleby to guide them to victory, who was 22 for 34, racking up 336 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions.

Western Michigan controlled the pace of the game, holding the ball for more than 38 minutes, while the Panthers had the ball for just over 19 minutes. However, even with limited time of possession, Pittsburgh senior QB Kenny Pickett absolutely crushed Western Michigan’s defense. Pickett tossed six touchdown passes, going 22 of 30 for 380 yards.

Western Michigan (2-1) looks to continue their success when they take on San Jose State. Pittsburgh falls to 2-1 on the season and will face New Hampshire in Week 4.
