Northwestern Opponent Links, Week 1: Western Michigan Broncos

Western Michigan comes to Evanston riding a big wave of momentum. The Broncos concluded a solid 7-5 regular season with an impressive bowl win and are considered one of the favorites in the Mid-American Conference.

P.J. Fleck has established a recruiting stronghold in Kalamazoo, one that not only dominates the MAC, but also steals recruits from Power-5 members as well. Here are some last-minute notes on the Broncos before they hit Ryan Field.

• Last weekend, the Broncos had two players—now not part of the team—accused of robbing a woman at gunpoint.
• Our friends over at Hustle Belt previewed the game between the Broncos and the Wildcats.
• They also named WMU wide receiver Corey Davis the No. 2 player in the conference. He’s really good. Quarterback Zach Terrell was fourth.
• The Detroit Free Press analyzed how Fleck has mastered recruiting in metro Detroit.
• MAC coaches picked the Broncos to win the conference’s West division.
• PJ Fleck had some high praise for Pat Fitzgerald.
