Western was nationally ranked all season in 2009 and has appeared in the past three Yates Cup championships Last 10 Meetings between Western and Windsor: 8-2 in favour of Western Streaks: Western has won the past six meetings between the teams. The Skinny While many expect this game could be a one-sided affair, head coach Greg Marshall and the Mustangs coaching staff are wary of underestimating their opponent. In 2009’s meeting, Western actually trailed early before winning 60-9 at the University of Windsor Stadium on Sept. 19, 2009. Expect a steady rotation between running backs Jerimy Hipperson, Ben Roberts, Kenny Eansor and John Leckie to win the battle of time of possession.

The game can be seen live on Rogers TV, Cable 13, at 7 p.m. in the London market. Two radio stations - CHRW 94.9 FM (online http://www.chrwradio.com/listen/) and Newstalk 1290, CJBK on the AM dial (http://www.cjbk.com) - will also carry the action. With a record 8-2 in the past 10 meetings - winning the past six meetings - and a 42-9-1 record overall against Windsor, the Mustangs are the historical favourite in the matchup. Western won the last meeting on Sept. 19, 2009, with a 60-7 decision in Windsor. The Mustangs won the meeting before that 58-5, and the meeting before that 49-0. In all that's a 167-12 margin in three games. Impressive stuff. But the disparity between the clubs this season also adds to a projected one-sided affair.
