How to Watch Western Michigan at Central Michigan:

Western Michigan, under head coach Lance Taylor, has shown flashes of brilliance this season despite their average record. The Broncos' offense, averaging 31.3 points per game, has been led by a balanced attack that's gained 1,975 yards through the air and 1,978 on the ground. Their defense, allowing 34.3 points per game, will need to step up against a potent Central Michigan offense.

Central Michigan, guided by coach Jim McElwain, enters this matchup without momentum, losing five straight contests. The Chippewas' offense has faltered, scoring just 30 total points in their last three games. The defense hasn't fared much better, allowing 31.8 points per game (110th in the NCAA). Central Michigan has played much better at home and will be highly motivated to secure a victory in front of their crowd.
