KALAMAZOO, Mich.- The Mid-American Conference has announced that the Friday, Nov. 24, Western Michigan at Toledo football game will be an 11:30 a.m. kickoff on ESPNU. The matchup is the final regular season game of the season, however both teams are postseason bowl eligible.

It will be the 72nd all-time meeting between Western Michigan and Toledo. The Broncos have won each of the last two meetings. Toledo leads the all-time series, 30-41. Last year in Kalamazoo the Broncos defeated the Rockets, 55-35. In the 2015 meeting, WMU knocked off UT (ranked No. 24 in the nation at the time) in Toledo, 35-30. It was WMU's first ever win over a top-25 ranked opponent.

Western Michigan enters the 2017 matchup in a similar situation as the 2015 game, coming off a loss at Northern Illinois and with a six-win record. The Broncos picked up their seventh win of the season at Toledo in 2015, which propelled WMU to the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl. The Broncos went on to defeat Middle Tennessee in the Bahamas for the program's first ever bowl win, finishing the year with an 8-5 record.

WMU fell in a tight 35-31 contest at Northern Illinois this past Wednesday night and has six wins (6-5, 4-3 MAC) heading into the Nov. 24 meeting against the Rockets. A win would help bolster WMU's 2017 resume for a bowl bid. If the Broncos could beat Toledo and also pick up a bowl win this season, they could also match the 2014 and 2015 teams with 8-5 overall records.

Toledo leads the MAC with a 9-2 overall, 6-1 conference record and can lock up a MAC West title with a win over Western Michigan or with an NIU loss at Central Michigan.
