Western Kentucky coach Tyson Helton knows winning is the first step to restoring confidence in a program and its fan base. That's why the Hilltoppers expect a win when it pays Central Arkansas to visit Houchens-Smith Stadium on Thursday night.
“We expect to win this football game, but with that being said we're playing a pretty dang good opponent,” Helton said Monday during his weekly news conference. “In the opener last year, they go to Tulsa and really had a great opportunity to win the game. I look at their football team, both offensively and defensively, it will be a great challenge for us.
