The continuity and dominance of Western Kentucky’s defense is becoming evident through fall camp. Even after head coach Tyson Helton praised the defense for dictating the outcome of a scrimmage Saturday, the Hilltoppers defense kept it rolling by finishing Monday’s practice with forced turnovers, ending with high visible energy.
The confidence Helton had in what White showed leading the defense in two previous seasons is why the third-year coordinator and most of his staff stuck around for 2019.
Despite a 3-9 record and inconsistencies on offense, the Hilltoppers defense allowed 16 and 15 points in the final two games, respectively.
