WKU moved one step closer to a conference championship appearance with a 45-7 romp of the University of North Texas in the Hilltoppers’ home finale on Saturday.
It was senior day for 24 players on the Hill, and one of them made his impact felt from the very first snap.
Senior wide receiver Taywan Taylor ran a deep post route and hauled in a second-down pass around the 20-yard line, shook one defender and walked into the end zone to give the Hilltoppers an early 7-0 lead.
On the first play of the next possession less than two minutes later, Taylor caught a long pass on the same route taking it in for another score, this time for 75 yards.
