The Hilltopper offense managed only three points in a 34-3 loss at No. 4 Wisconsin. But coach Mike Sanford said he was leaving Madison feeling good about his five men up front.

Sanford compared Friday’s opening test against the Badgers to last year’s Week 1, 31-17 win against FCS program Eastern Kentucky. He thought the WKU O-line performed better against the FBS’ fourth-ranked program than it did in 2017 against a middling lower-division squad.

WKU started an offensive line of Cole Spencer (left tackle), Tyler Witt (left guard), Seth Joest (center), Jordan Meredith (right guard) and Miles Pate (right tackle).
