WKU went into halftime at Old Dominion with a lead. The Toppers watched the Monarchs rip off 17 unanswered points in the third quarter and were down 10 heading into the fourth.
Then came two big Mike White touchdown passes and a handful of defensive stops – including one after WKU thought the game was already over.
Add it all up and the Hilltoppers escaped S.B. Ballard Stadium on Friday night with a 35-31 victory.
Fun wasn’t a word that was probably tossed around much on the sidelines after the third quarter for WKU (5-2 overall, 3-1 Conference USA).
