When Skip Holtz watches Western Kentucky’s defense on film, he doesn’t see the Hilltoppers changing much when it comes to their scheme.
He instead sees a defense that’s improved its fundamentals since the first time it faced Holtz’s Louisiana Tech football team.
The Bulldogs beat WKU 55-52 on Oct. 6 in a Thursday night shootout in Ruston, La. The teams will meet again Saturday at Houchens-Smith Stadium in the 2016 Dynacraft Conference USA Championship Game (11 a.m., ESPN).
Holtz spoke on a teleconference Tuesday in advance of Saturday’s championship game, the second straight to be hosted by the defending league champion Toppers.
