WKU’s first win of the season came thanks in large part to the play of a quarterback who wasn’t expected to be relied on going into the game.
Redshirt sophomore quarterback Steven Duncan, who replaced redshirt freshman Davis Shanley after an injury, led the Hilltoppers to a win in a tight second half against Ball State.
With Duncan’s stellar day, in which he was 12 for 16 for 94 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another 55 yards, the Hilltoppers now have three quarterbacks who seem capable of starting. The health of Shanley and redshirt senior Drew Eckels is currently in doubt, as Eckels has been out since the Louisville game and Shanley suffered an injury during WKU’s win over BSU.
