MT. PLEASANT, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Western Michigan University football teams hopes to keep the Victory Cannon trophy in Kalamazoo as they battle rival Central Michigan University tonight in Mt. Pleasant.
It’s a 7:30 p.m. kick-off for the 95th meeting all-time between the Broncos and the Chippewas. The Broncos lead the all-time series 53-39-2, have won the last two meetings and have won the last six games played at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
Between 2006 and 2010, the Chippewas won all five games, since then the Broncos are 10-3 in the rivalry game.
Last season, Western Michigan retained the Victory Cannon after scoring 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to overcome a 28-21 deficit.
The Victory Cannon Trophy was established as a nod to both WMU and CMU’s ROTC programs that shoot off a cannon after its team scores.
