There was a moment in Saturday’s 2016 Dynacraft Conference USA Championship Game when Anthony Wales wanted to come out for a breather. Jeff Brohm tried to convince his running back stay, but got bailed out by a short stoppage in play.
Western Kentucky’s coach knows any time Wales is on the field, he gives the Hilltoppers a chance to make plays, and when you have a workhorse that has the team on his back, you ride him.
Wales galloped his way to a career rushing performance, including a seven-yard high step celebration on his fourth touchdown run that sealed the Hilltoppers’ 58-44 win over Louisiana Tech on Saturday at Houchens-Smith Stadium.
