This is the best passing offense that Central Michigan has had to face all year and they are riding high after nearly coming up with a victory against Northern Illinois last week as Western Mich's Alex Carder threw for 300+ yards and 3 TD's including 14 receptions to Jordan White who has 180 yards. He's been unstoppable and I don't think Central Mich can cover him. Central Mich is 1-5 in the conference and they have had all sorts of problems with turnovers. Their QB has 15 interceptions and Western Mich can take the ball away as they have 20 forced turnovers on the year. They 9 interceptions which is good for #37 in the nation and they are tied for 7th in fumbles recovered. These two teams have had two common opponents Northern Illinois the favorite to win the MAC and Ball State the results couldn't be more different. Western Mich @ Ball State won 45-16 +132 total yards while Cmich lost at home 17-31 -65 yards. Northern Illinoisbeat Western Mich 28-21, but were only +20 yards where they beat up on Central Mich 33-7 +115 yards. Western Mich has more talent this year and will put some revenge on this huge rivalry game this year.
