Western Michigan is coming off a 31-15 win over archrival Central Michigan last Saturday. The win allowed them to retain the Victory Cannon Trophy as they have now beaten the Chippewas two years in a row.
But little of that matters now. At least, not for this week. Western was supposed to beat a Central Michigan program that is rebuilding. The expectation for this team should be much higher than simply beating a rival.
The Broncos go to Toledo this week to play the Rockets for a game that will have major implications in terms of the Mid-American Conference West standings.
