Hilltoppers look to build on first win in conference opener

Coming off of its first win of the season over Ball State, WKU will look to strike again on Saturday in its first Conference USA game of the season against Marshall.

The Thundering Herd will be coming into Houchens-Smith Stadium off a 37-20 loss to North Carolina State

One of the key elements of the game for the Hilltoppers will be to continue to put up points on offense after having their most consistent game of the season at Ball State. Head coach Mike Sanford named redshirt sophomore Steven Duncan as starting quarterback on Thursday.

Duncan came into the second half of the Ball State game after an injury to redshirt freshman Davis Shanley.
