The Hilltoppers have a new coaching staff in place and some new faces on the field this fall.
“Coaches change, but it’s on the players to go out there and execute the game plan,” defensive end Derik Overstreet said. “The game plan doesn’t really matter if the players don’t execute it. It’s just on us to continue the tradition.”
WKU starts its season Saturday by hosting Eastern Kentucky at Houchens-Smith Stadium (6 p.m., online stream at Flofootball.com). A win over the FCS program would start the Hilltoppers on the right foot toward their objectives for the upcoming campaign.
