After a slow start to the season for the Hilltoppers, they use the second half to put the game away. An offense that was consistently moving the ball most of the night had issues finishing drives in the first half. Their first drive of the game would be cut short after starting HB Antonio Andrews would fumble the ball on a first down play shortly after converting a 4th and short in opponent territory. The next two Western Kentucky drives to surpass the 50 would result in field goals and a first half score of 7-6 going into the locker room.

Things would change quickly in the second half. Western Kentucky's defense did what it was supposed to do, and the offense found the end zone three times, as well as adding another field goal, to ice this one. "This is a great way to start the season for our kids and gives us a nice platform to build on" said Coach Chris Spielman. "Now we have some film to study and begin preparing for next week's opponent."

Next week the Hilltoppers hit the road to take on the Tennessee Volunteers.
