Jordan Howard's ability to close out games, defense and special teams showing up in key moments, a great new helmet, and other highlights from yesterday's thrilling victory in Bloomington.
1. Jordan Howard is the closer
With 5:56 remaining in the 4th quarter, Western Kentucky had just closed the gap to 38-35. However, the Hilltoppers never saw the ball again, thanks to an excellent final 12-play 75-yard drive anchored by Jordan Howard. Kevin Wilson put his trust in the UAB transfer (thanks Ray Watts!), and Howard got the ball on 7 of the 12 plays to secure the victory.
