Hilltoppers Open First Spring of the Mike Sanford Era

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — The Mike Sanford Era is officially underway on The Hill as WKU opened its first spring under the first year head coach on Thursday under cool skies on the turf inside Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium.

“It was a great day. It was great to be back on the grass in an unbelievable environment to do it in with great weather,” Sanford said. “This was the very first time they’ve gone through our practices with that style and tempo. I don’t know what the practices were like before, but they were certainly pretty good because these guys came out, bought in and flew around.
