Editor’s note: This is part six of a 13-part series previewing each of Western Kentucky’s opponents for the 2021 football season. Part six features a look at UTSA. Part seven will preview Old Dominion.
The nonconference portion of Western Kentucky’s football schedule has garnered the most attention, and rightfully so with opponents like Army, Indiana and Michigan State among the team’s first four games.
Plus, WKU head coach Tyson Helton, as well as numerous staff and players, have talked about the need to take things one game at a time.
But despite the attention on the early going, the Hilltoppers have goals set – first and foremost, WKU wants to win the league title, before playing in and winning a bowl game.
