Western Michigan Broncos at Illinois Fighting Illini (Saturday/4:00 pm)

The Broncos can already claim one victory over Big Ten competition after taking down Northwestern in the season opener, and now they get the chance to go 2-0 against the league when they head to Champaign to face Illinois. Western Michigan has outscored opponents 92-42 in their first two games, and rather than depending on quarterback Zach Terrell the Broncos are finding balance from a strong running game.

The Fighting Illini were routed by North Carolina last week, and Oklahoma State transfer Wes Lunt is throwing for fewer than 200 yards per game. WMU is the favorite in the MAC West and could stay on track for an Access Bowl bid with another Power Five statement win.
