One week after a heartbreaking loss to Vanderbilt, the WKU football team earned a bounce-back home victory in a 50-3 blowout of Houston Baptist University, an FCS school.
“I was proud of the way we took the field today and came out and did what we needed to do,” Head Coach Jeff Brohm said. “We executed early on, moved the ball, scored points and took care of the football as well.”
The Hilltoppers were the first FBS opponent for a nascent Houston Baptist program that is only in its third year of existence. Unfortunately for the Huskies, the first offensive drive for WKU was indicative of how the rest of the game would go.
