While the Bobcats have achieved an 8-4 record this season, they have an extremely dangerous opponent in front of them as they face the undefeated Broncos. WMU has established a winning pattern over Ohio in recent years, with the Broncos achieving victories over the Bobcats the past two years including a 49-14 manhandling of the team last October. In that game Western Michigan's football team rushed for 430 yards and averaged almost 10 per carry.
WMU redshirt sophomore Jamauri Bogan was part of the onslaught, as he finished with 135 yards on nine attempts, good for an average of 15 yards per carry.
