Spring football starts this week which means a new era has officially begun for WKU Football.
First year Head Coach Mike Sanford will look to continue the recent success of the WKU football program after taking over for current Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm. Brohm led WKU to a 23-5 record over the past two years including back to back C-USA championships and bowl wins.
For many players on WKU’s roster, Sanford will be their third head coach during their time on the Hill.
“Anytime there is a new staff that comes in, there is an opportunity for getting playing time,” senior defensive lineman Derik Overstreet said.
