Wolff struggles vs. Bowling Green
Hayden Wolff was 24-for-32 passing for 195 yards and two interceptions during Tuesday’s 31-13 loss against Bowling Green. Wolff has had a rough two-game stretch, dishing just one touchdowns and four interceptions. In addition, the Broncos have lost the undefeated conference record and now sit at 5-2 in the past two games. The senior quarterback is nearing the end of his collegiate career, and his output at this point in the season points to the fact that he’s winding down.
Glasser horrible in first start
Jadyn Glasser was 16-for-27 passing for 150 yards and two interceptions during Tuesday’s 37-10 defeat against Toledo. He also had eight rushes for -32 yards. Glasser struggled in his first start of the year, keeping the Chippewas’ quarterback spot in shambles. The freshman quarterback was thrown into the position with injuries and struggles becoming the theme for CMU. The starter for this upcoming week against Western Michigan now remains unknown.

Western Michigan vs. Central Michigan Prediction
Take Western Michigan. The Broncos have lost back-to-back games both straight up and against the number. That said, this is the worst team Jim McElwain has fielded in Mt. Pleasant. The defense is okay, but the offense is in shambles. Granted, their quarterback room has been decimated by injury. Thus, McElwain does have an excuse for his offense being so inefficient. Still, the injuries under center have led to the Chips dropping five straight games and failing to cover in three out of their last five overall. They were fortunate in one of those ATS wins, as Bowling Green’s running back decided to go down instead of punching in another score from inside the five yard line at the end of the Falcons’ 23-13 win two weeks ago.
