Tyson Helton, WKU football players discuss adjustment to technology-based teaching methods

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only severely impacted spring athletic teams at WKU, as the coronavirus has also put a major strain on the university's fall sports as well.

With Conference USA announcing the cancellation of all spring sport competition and championships on March 16, the WKU football program was subsequently forced to cancel its spring football practices and the annual Red vs. White spring game on March 19.

Every collegiate football program has been tasked with adjusting to a temporary new normal very quickly, and Hilltopper football has been no exception to that rule, as the team has been continuing to grow and bond as a program despite the cancellation of spring football.
