WKU offense finally clicks 'like old times'

The fireworks and quick points Helton promised to bring back to WKU football showed up with the team’s best day offensively in the Southeastern Conference road win. Now the Hilltoppers (6-4) have to carry that momentum through a bye week and the last two games against Southern Mississippi and Middle Tennessee to ensure a bowl bid.

Helton and Ellis were assistant coaches on the Jeff Brohm-led staffs that led national statistics on offense and rewrote school record books during 2014-16.

Against a struggling Arkansas team, WKU put up a season-high 35 points by halftime and had the game well in hand by that point.
