Who’s the straw that stirs the drink for Western Michigan, offensively and defensively?

"Quarterback Jon Wassink. WMU was 5-3 with competitive losses at USC and MSU before he broke his collar bone. Now with more time under center and a more experienced receiving corps, he’s hoping to pick up where he left off. Safety Justin Tranquill is also recovering from a season-ending ACL injury. The second-leading tackler on the 2016 WMU team that finished 13-1 and reached the Cotton Bowl, he’ll be the heart of the defense."
