Hope For the Best: Western Kentucky edition

Call WKU a patsy if you must, but the Hilltoppers represent one of the most potent early-season offensive threats the Alabama defense will face

For Western Kentucky’s newly-minted quarterback Mike White, the Hilltoppers’ match-up with top-ranked powerhouse Alabama on Saturday boils down to a few concise, to-the-point words.

“We fear no man and no program.”

Sure, the USF transfer who beat out a passel of other candidates as the heir apparent to Western Kentucky’s prolific offense (previous starter Brandon Doughty threw for 5,000 yards and 48 touchdowns in 2015) has to have swagger heading into Saturday’s game against Alabama.
