Tutu Atwell starred for Louisville in last year’s meeting with Western Kentucky at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
The then-sophomore receiver had five receptions for 145 yards – an average of 29 yards per reception – and three touchdowns in the Cardinals’ 38-21 victory.
Atwell returns with high expectations again this fall, and the Hilltoppers know they’ll need to do a better job of limiting his production in Saturday’s season opener if they want to snap an 11-game losing streak to Louisville.
“We kind of have some different coverages – I can’t go into specifics – but we have different things that we’re going to do to contain him and make them use other players to have to beat us,” WKU redshirt sophomore defensive back Beanie Bishop said Wednesday.
