WKU secondary looking to take a step forward
Over the past three seasons, some of the more memorable WKU football games have been shootouts.
In 2014, the Hilltoppers ended Marshall’s perfect season by a score of 67-66 in overtime, a game in which quarterbacks Brandon Doughty and Rakeem Cato combined for 15 passing touchdowns.
Last season, Lousiana Tech handed WKU its lone Conference USA loss of the season by a score of 55-52, and high-level passers Mike White and Ryan Higgins combined for nearly 800 passing yards and 10 touchdowns through the air.
Two months later, White and company avenged the loss in the C-USA title game, when the two quarterbacks upped the previous combined total to 900 passing yards in a 58-44 WKU victory.
