Western Kentucky’s defense hasn’t put up the numbers it expected through its first two games.
Coming off a 9-4 season with the best scoring defense in Conference USA, the Hilltoppers have allowed an average of 32.5 points in their 0-2 start.
Defensive coordinator Clayton White says the current bye week before opening Conference USA play against Middle Tennessee is “perfect for the Tops,” and says the focus is on getting back to who they were a season ago, adding that this week has featured what he considers some of the team’s best practices.
“I think it’s a great chance to refocus and look at ourselves and kind of get our guys back going,” White said.
