Coming off the bye week, the 1-4 WKU football team will look to get its season back on track against an almost equally woeful 2-3 Charlotte team on the road.
The Hilltoppers currently sit sixth in the Conference USA East Division, but with only one conference game having been played, a loss to Marshall, WKU still has a chance to make up ground. Especially with some other conference favorites taking losses early in the season.
“That opened the conference right up,” redshirt senior defensive tackle Evan Sayner said on Wednesday. “It’s anybody’s taking right now.”
The Charlotte offense ranks in the bottom 20 in sacks allowed but Sayner said that the team is better than statistics show.
