Key Storylines
- Quarterback Play: Western Michigan’s Broc Lowry has been efficient this season. He has thrown for 992 yards with five touchdowns and just one interception. Miami (OH)’s Dequan Finn has accumulated 997 passing yards and six touchdowns, but has also thrown five interceptions. Lowry’s consistency could be a deciding factor in this matchup. Finn will have to avoid turning the ball over for his team to get a win here.
