Last week’s losses took a little bit of the sizzle of this one, but it’s still a huge game in the big picture of WKU’s season. Tech has played WKU tougher than any other team in the league since WKU joined Conference USA. A solid win Saturday, and the Tops are back on track. The kickoff time and high stakes makes this one of WKU’s best games on their schedule.
