KALAMAZOO, Mich -- The Western Michigan football opened fall camp this morning at Waldo Stadium with a little extra excitement coming off the best season in school history last year.

The Broncos have a new head coach as Tim Lester steps in following P.J. Fleck's departure for Minnesota in January.

"Now I'm actually getting back into the football part, which you love, and I'm in meeting rooms now with them" Lester said. "That's I think the thing that I'm most excited about."

WMU graduated quarterback Zach Terrell and former South Christian star Jon Wassink will take over the reigns of the offense this fall.

"As a team we all like to compete and that makes everybody better, so as much competition we can have, it makes everybody better" Wassink said.

Western will open its season on September 2nd at USC.
