Western Kentucky vs LA Tech Prediction

I’m leaning toward WKU. The Hilltoppers really need to clean up the rush defense, though. Western Kentucky gave up a whopping 331 yards on the ground in their win over New Mexico State. That said, the defense also came up with five takeaways, which killed a lot of Aggies momentum in the victory.

As for LA Tech, they mustered 410 yards (144 rushing), 20 first downs, two turnovers and a 5-of-13 effort on third-down conversions in their OT loss to Jacksonville State. Their defense did well on three takeaways, but also gave up 28 first downs and 9-of-16 on third-down tries. WKU should have control here if they can avoid mistakes.
