And if the Hilltoppers were to take the field right now, they wouldn’t be too far off from being game ready.
Led by a senior quarterback in Mike White, WKU’s offense has moved on from the learning-a-new-playbook phase and into game day situational prep. The same can be said for the defense, which coach Mike Sanford said has had its own share of success against that game-ready offense this week due to physicality and new installations.
The point: WKU is nine practices into its preseason slate and its identity is sealed. The biggest concerns involve week-by-week routines like substitutions and specific package installments.
