Many are understandably upset and frustrated with Saturday night’s game against Eastern Kentucky. Losing to an FCS team simply doesn’t cut it. The Cats did NOT (thankfully), but it wasn’t that long ago that we were losing on the same field (well, the grass version) to the state’s other directional school.
In 2012, WKU was two-years removed from a 26-game losing streak upon entering the FBS. Andrew Jackson was a pro-caliber linebacker that was eventually drafted, but still a step down from EKU’s explosive defensive end, Noah Spence. EKU’s Dyshawn Mobley and WKU’s Antonio Andrews are comparable, with a caveat that Andrews almost broke Barry Sanders single-season all-purpose yardage record, twice.
