What to Know

Considering their sizeable disadvantage in the spread, the Western Michigan Broncos can expect to have a real challenge on their hands on Saturday. They will look to defend their home turf against the Pittsburgh Panthers at 7:30 p.m. ET. If the matchup is anything like WMU's 44-41 victory from their previous meeting in September of last year, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.

The Broncos were able to grind out a solid win over the Ball State Cardinals on Saturday, winning 37-30. WMU's RB La'Darius Jefferson looked sharp as he punched in three rushing touchdowns. Jefferson had some trouble finding his footing against the Michigan State Spartans last Friday, so this was a step in the right direction.

Meanwhile, Pitt fought the good fight in their overtime game against the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 34-27. The losing side was boosted by RB Israel Abanikanda, who rushed for one TD and 154 yards on 25 carries. That touchdown -- a 76-yard rush in the first quarter -- was one of the highlights of the contest.

Western Michigan's victory lifted them to 1-1 while Pittsburgh's loss dropped them down to 1-1. We'll find out if WMU can add another positive mark to their record or if Pitt can shake off the defeat and take the spring out of Western Michigan's step.
