Western Kentucky had no problem finding the end zone Saturday as it put up a program FBS-era record 73 points in a shutout win over FIU, but the Hilltoppers aren’t expecting the points to come as easily this weekend.
The Hilltoppers will face a Troy team allowing just 21 points per game Saturday in a 6 p.m. nonconference matchup at Houchens-Smith Stadium.
“Very, very good defense. Big, strong, physical, well-coached and very, very sound. They know where they’re supposed to be and they get there fast and they play physical,” WKU co-offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle said. “Those guys, they’ve kind of had a tough little schedule, had some big wins, a heartbreak loss, so I think they’re a very, very good football team.
