Tops still have 'a lot to play for'

PROVO, Utah – Since he’s been Western Kentucky’s head football coach, Tyson Helton has stated clearly that, win or lose, the team will wake up on Sunday and prepare for the next opponent.

Even after a 41-10 loss to No. 11 BYU at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah, on Saturday that dropped the Hilltoppers to 2-5 on the season, the second-year head coach is not straying from that approach as his team prepares for an important four-game conference stretch to close the regular season.

“So long as I wake up in the morning, that’s what’s going to happen,” Helton said following the loss.
