Top 10: Western has been nationally ranked all season and received its highest ranking this week at No. 5 in Canada. 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.

  • SATURDAY U SPORTS FOOTBALL: Uteck and Mitchell Bowls, a Head-To-Head Look
    SATURDAY U SPORTS FOOTBALL: Uteck and Mitchell Bowls, A head-to-head look Nov 15, 2016 TORONTO (U Sports) – The stage is set for the U Sports football national semifinals on Saturday, when the last four teams still standing will battle for a berth in the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Vanier Cup on Nov. 26 at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton. The OUA conference champion Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks (9-1) and the RSEQ titlist Laval Rouge et Or (9-1) kickoff at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time in the Uteck Bowl at TELUS-UL Stadium in Quebec City. The ArcelorMittal Dofasco Mitchell Bowl follows at 2 p.m. Mountain Time (4 p.m. ET), with the AUS champion St. Francis Xavier X-Men (8-1) visiting the Canada West monarch Calgary Dinos (8-2) at McMahon Stadium. Both contests are scheduled to be televised live on Sportsnet 360 and TVA Sports (Mitchell Bowl on TVA Sports 2), with Sportsnet 360 kicking things off at noon with a 30-minute pre-game show. The doubleheader is also available online through Sportsnet NOW and TVASports.ca(authenticated users only). At a time when parity in Canadian university football remains under the microscope, the conference finals produced three new champions for the third straight year as only StFX earned a return trip to the U Sports Final Four. One of the teams that saw their campaign come to an end last Saturday was the 2015 Vanier Cup champ UBC Thunderbirds, who couldn’t quite reproduce their Cinderella run from a year ago. Three of the four league finals were decided by three points, two in favour of the visiting team.
