Three Things to Know About the Western Michigan Broncos

The 2016 college football season is finally upon us. What do we know about Northwestern’s first opponent?

The 2016 college football season is finally ready to begin. After months of having nothing to do on Saturday afternoons, a nation suddenly breathes back to life ready for some football. While there are some major marquee games week one, such as No. 3 Oklahoma vs. No. 15 Houston and No. 20 USC vs. No. 1 Alabama, the Wildcats welcome a MAC team to Ryan Field.

The Western Michigan Broncos may not be a Power 5 team, but that doesn’t mean they should be overlooked, especially since Northwestern has had trouble against MAC teams the past few years.
