Hilltoppers lean heavily on screen plays in latest offensive scheme

Being creative each week on offense is part of Western Kentucky’s identity in wanting to play with an edge.

Two weeks ago, they asked their quarterback to run more than the running back. Last week against Old Dominion saw more wide receiver screens used.

Whatever WKU needs to get an edge this week, it knows opportunities will be minimal against an Army team well-known for controlling the clock.

“We’ll for sure have limited possessions,” WKU offensive coordinator Bryan Ellis said. “We’ll have a great sense of urgency when we have our opportunities. Each possession is going to be vital to go down and produce something.
