Tyrrell Pigrome, who entered the game at quarterback on the final play of the third quarter, threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Craig Burt Jr. with 1:21 remaining to give the Hilltoppers a 13-10 win over Chattanooga at Houchens-Smith Stadium.
"Great win. Not a pretty win by any means, but it was a win that our football team really needed," WKU head coach Tyson Helton said. "I'm really proud of our football team on a night where there were a lot of things that wasn't pretty.
"My hat's off to the defense, just keeping the score down and giving our offense an opportunity multiple times, and my hat's off to the offense – when we needed it the most right there, we were able to find a way to get it into the end zone and find a way to win.
