Why WKU Will Win

Tyrrell Pigrome has been good.

The former Maryland quarterback stepped into the WKU offense and leads the team in rushing, hasn’t thrown a pick yet, and has been the playmaker for an offense that’s still not as productive as it needs to be, but isn’t bad.

What’s Going To Happen

WKU has marred more than 30 points just three times in the last 19 games, and one of those was against Middle Tennessee in last year’s 31-26 win.
