A win for Western Carolina today would be the biggest victory in school history. Period.
The FCS program is 0-55 all-time against FBS opponents.
That would seem like a big ask today, considering the fact that the 44.5-point underdogs have lost 9 straight games dating back to last season.
The Catamounts return 6 starters on offense and 5 starters on defense.
Their offense is built around the option, like Doeren described at his weekly press conference earlier this week.
“It’s a spread option, zone read option spread out, RPO offense so it’ll be a really good fundamental game for our defense,” said Doeren.
