For a fleeting moment on Saturday night, it felt like 2016 again for WKU football fans, as the Hilltoppers jumped out to a 21-0 lead over Maine in the first quarter of their Week 2 matchup.
That feeling didn’t last, as Maine ran off 31 straight points and the Football Championship Subdivision team walked away with a 31-28 victory.
WKU has now lost seven of its last eight games dating back to last season, with Saturday’s game being the first Hilltopper loss to a FCS school since 2011, when they lost to Indiana State. Head coach Mike Sanford spoke after the game about the loss.
