WKU aiming for marquee win against in-state rival Louisville in Nashville

Coming off its first win of the season, the WKU football team will look to make it two straight in a marquee non-conference matchup. The Hilltoppers (1-1, 1-0 C-USA) will travel to Nashville to square off with Power 5 opponent Louisville (1-1) on Saturday.

WKU notched its first road victory of the season last weekend, a contest that saw the Hilltoppers dispatch Conference USA foe Florida International 20-14 in Miami.

First-year head coach Tyson Helton said on Monday that his team’s biggest improvement from week one to week two was its ability to finish off the opponent.
