DETROIT, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Western Michigan University football team is going bowling for the 11th time in program history, and will take on Nevada at 11:00 a.m. Monday in the 2021 Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit.
Today’s game will be the first-ever meeting between Western Michigan and Nevada.
WMU is not too familiar with the Mountain West. Among current teams, the Broncos are 1-6 against the league all-time, with the lone win coming earlier this year at home against 2020 conference champion San Jose State.
Prior to this season, the last time WMU played a Mountain West opponent was Air Force in the 2014 Idaho Potato Bowl. Before that, the Broncos didn’t play a team from the MW since 1988 when they met Fresno State in the California Raisin Bowl.
