When WKU and Vanderbilt last met on opening night one season ago, the game was decided on the goal line as time expired.
Current junior defensive back Joe Brown stopped Vanderbilt’s Nathan Marcus short of the goal line, sealing a 14-12 victory for the Hilltoppers. Fast forward to Saturday and the situation remained the same, only with a mirrored outcome.
After the Commodores forced overtime with time expiring in regulation, WKU Head Coach Jeff Brohm faced a big decision: kick the extra point to tie the game and enter a second overtime, or go for the two-point conversion and the win.
