WESTERN MICHIGAN - OCT. 14 AT 1:00 CT

This week the Huskies (4-2, 3-1 MAC) take on the Western Michigan Broncos (3-2, 1-1 MAC) in Kalamazoo. The game is at 1:00 CT on CSN. Western Michigan beat Temple, Virginia and Toledo and lost to Ohio University last week and Indiana to open the season. Western Michigan's rushing defense was ranked 6th last week but dropped to 23rd (98 yards per game) after giving up 257 rushing yards to Ohio University. NIU is ranked 4th in rushing offense (253 yards per game).

Are any of you going to the game? I'll be on my way home from my sales meeting in Minnesota so I won't be able to go. If you make the trip, wear red. The Western Michigan Athletic Department is pushing for a "Blackout" and encouraging Bronco's fans to wear black.
