WMU's matchup vs. Ball State 'the most important game of the year'

KALAMAZOO, MI - In Nov. 2016, an undefeated Western Michigan football team was preparing to host ESPN College GameDay for its Week 12 showdown with Buffalo

It was an historical moment for a program in the midst of an historical season, but with so many new faces on the field and on the sideline, it can be hard to believe it happened just two years ago.

In 2018, the Broncos' Week 12 matchup will again be a pivotal matchup, but for different reasons.

For the first time in program history, WMU has allowed a pair of Mid-American Conference foes to score 50 or more points against the Broncos in back-to-back weeks.
