Preseason CUSA favorite Western Kentucky remains unbeaten in league play, but it wasn’t without a challenge.
The Hilltoppers raced out to a 35-7 halftime lead over Louisiana Tech on Thursday night, but the offensive fireworks disappeared once the second half commenced. Louisiana Tech shut out WKU 21-0 in the second half, but the Bulldogs tossed an interception on a potential game-tying drive, leading the Hilltoppers to a 35-28 victory in Ruston, LA.
WKU flew out of the gate to 35 first half points thanks to a lethal connection between quarterback Austin Reed and wide receiver Malachi Corley.
