In a game in which it was heavily favored, the WKU football team found itself in an up-and-down dogfight with Miami University (Ohio) before notching a 31-24 victory on Saturday.
“Well it was a rough one for us today,” Head Coach Jeff Brohm said in a postgame radio interview. “Luckily, we have enough guys on our team that want to win and it means something to them. We did play hard and fortunately for us, our defense came up big.”
The Hilltoppers entered halftime leading 14-3 with the only scores coming from a two-yard touchdown run by freshman running back Quinton Baker and a 48-yard punt return for a touchdown by junior wide receiver Nacarius Fant.
