The Ohio Bobcats (5-2, 2-1 MAC) are heavy favorites when they host the Western Michigan Broncos (2-5, 1-2 MAC) this Saturday despite a surprising loss to Northern Illinois in Week 7. The Broncos weren’t totally overmatched against Miami necessarily, but they didn’t have the firepower on either side of the ball to create an advantage.
The Bobcats allowed a season-high 23 points against NIU in large part due to two of the three interceptions that quarterback Kurtis Rourke threw in the second half and a 58-yard touchdown pass. The touchdown pass was the Huskies' third play from scrimmage in the second half and gave them a one-point lead.
