Heavy snow and low temperatures moved kickoff an hour earlier to 6:30 p.m. ET, but no weather conditions will prevent Western Michigan and Ohio from squaring off in Tuesday night MACtion.
The programs are among the MAC’s most consistent, as Western Michigan is bowl eligible for the sixth consecutive season while Ohio is two wins short of attaining the 6-win mark for the 11th straight year. While the interdivisional opponents don’t face each other annually, there is recent history between these programs on the MAC’s biggest stage. The Broncos and Bobcats delivered one of the more memorable MAC Championship Games of the decade, where Western Michigan inside linebacker Robert Spillane intercepted Ohio on a potential game-winning drive to secure a 13-0 record and a Cotton Bowl bid for the Broncos.
