KALAMAZOO, MI - Mid-American Conference play couldn't have started any better for Western Michigan, which defeated Ball State 55-3 in Week 4.
The decisive victory not only put the conference on notice, it also extended the Broncos' winning streak to three games.
However, the team is still looking for its first win of the Tim Lester era, and Saturday's matchup with Buffalo provides a good opportunity for the 3-2 Broncos to break through that barrier.
WMU is a 6.5-point favorite at UB Stadium in Buffalo, New York, where the forecast calls for temperatures in the high 70s with an 11-mph wind at kickoff.
