After setting a school record for wins and losing the school’s all-time leading passer, expectations surrounding WKU’s 2016 football season were a bit hampered.
The Hilltoppers were picked to finish second in the C-USA East division, and used that as motivation to fuel a second consecutive double-digit win season that was capped by a 58-44 victory and a C-USA title over Louisiana Tech University on Saturday.
“These guys deserve it,” Head Coach Jeff Brohm said. “Last year was a heck of year and we had a lot of good seniors. A lot of people weren’t picking us to finish here we did and that’s what drove us to work hard and find a way to prove people wrong.
