The rivalry that exists between Middle Tennessee State University and WKU is widely known as “100 Miles of Hate,” but the Hilltoppers are just calling it “the next game” in preparation for Saturday’s matchup in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
“It’s the big one because it’s the next one,” redshirt senior left tackle Forrest Lamp said. “Our backs are up against the wall a little bit, but it’s the same as last year because everybody was gunning for us. Yes, we have to win this one, but it’s just another game.”
After suffering an uncharacteristic setback last Thursday against Louisiana Tech, WKU is in need of a conference win to keep its conference championship dreams above water.
