Sanford, WKU remain optimistic despite 1-2 start

HALF FULL

Despite a 23-22 loss to Louisiana Tech on Saturday, WKU head coach Mike Sanford said both he and his team remain optimistic toward the team’s overall progress. The one-point loss was a step forward from the 20-7 loss to Illinois, especially on the offensive side of the ball. The 23 points WKU allowed was also the fewest allowed to the Bulldogs since the Hilltoppers made the transition to Conference USA.

“The main thing I took away from watching film against Louisiana Tech is tremendous improvement from our football team in a lot of phases,” Sanford said.
