The refs missed the previous one and no one bothered to review the play. Nice win over a scrappy Ball State team.

Worst performance by QB MIke White here at WKU. I thought the team played really good tonight, White threw two INT's in the Red Zone STRAIGHT to the defender, then over and under threw lots of passes. If White would have played his normal game we win by 30 tonight. Happy that our team stood strong and didnt fold when things looked grim at the end

Go Tops!

Was not pretty, but this team needed a win in the worse way..........I think we have found a RB long term in Jakari Moses from Florida, this kid reminds me of Rainey and is true freshman, good sign for our offense moving forward...I think La. Tech showed wha they can do moving forward, imo the team to beat in the west...........East is wide open as we all have our question marks...

RE: WKU vs Ball State 6ct stadium tv
What I came away with from this game is the very same trend as the other 3.....

getting totally out coached after halftime. Teams are coming out early to mid 3rd and blitzing the crap out of Western. This staff makes no adjustments. They still try to run it into a stacked box and throw 15 o 20 yards down field. Those longer passing plays takes another second or two to get off. Not counting the defense rushing 1 to 2 extras.

What I hope this coaching staff saw tonight...this team plays better uptempo. Also when someone is blitzing you stop trying to hit 15 to 20 yard passes. Work the 5 to 8 yard ones that are open. And hit a couple middle screens. You do that and the blitz will slow down or you start driving the ball like last year.

Below is the 1st half & 2nd half & total yards for Western

EKU
256
123
379

Ill
128
116
244

Tech
229
139
368

Ball St
226
130
356

Western is getting out adjusted in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Make no mistake about it this was a poor Ball St team. A team that allowed UAB to rush for 336 yards. If this coaching staff gets their thumbs out of their asses and play at a pace like in Western's last drive with a mixture of short, quick passes, runs that go to the corner instead of off tackle and a screen every now and then....this team could be dangerous. But for that to happen White needs to stop staring down and locking in on receivers. Defense has looked decent but the offensives Western played against wasn't hitting on all cylinders and not the greatest QB/passers. Luckily CUSA is not loaded with many really good passing QBs this year.

Im putting 90% of the issues last night on White, he looked as bad a Brandon did against Tennessee about 5 years ago. He stares at the intended receiver front the start of the snap and looks the receiver down the entire time..... then botched some of the easiest throws last night that should have been scores and if wasnt for the receivers making some circus catches we probably lose. I thought the staff called a much better game last night that looked much worse at times because of bad throws

Good win and much needed. Could've been 3+ TD win without the turnovers. White had an off night. Bye week is coming at a good time. Gotta get everyone healed up and work out some of the kinks. Next two opponents (UTEP and Charlotte) are...not good. Should be rolling by the end of October.

I believe this win was WKU's fifth straight win over a MAC school.

RE: WKU vs Ball State 6ct stadium tv
It was a win so in that sense...good. Other than that 1/3 through the season I've yet to see much improvement that this is a well coached team that can get 4 more sure wins. Right now I'm about as negative as I been on this program since Willie's 2nd year, 4 games in. I honestly don't go into a game that way...I try to look for positive, take aways. I do realize the talent at WR is not the same. But when you see these players in a uptempo offense hitting plays all over the field two or three times over the last couple games. Looking like a good offensive team. Then watch them fall right back into the stupid **** of going away from what was working and then see teams eating away at the lead and taking it late in the 4th.....

you know most of the problems is coaching. I'm usually way more the Pollyanna type fan that can see the positive and if this was 2013 maybe I could with this staff. I can't, so yeah, in the sense of it was a win. It was good.

RE: WKU vs Ball State 6ct stadium tv
Dropped passes in the first half were killers for offensive rythum for sure. Agree that White's staring down receivers was ridicules for a senior. Not doing his NFL aspirations any good no doubt. One other thing I didn't understand on our last drive when we had 1st and goal from the five why we snapped the ball with about 18 seconds still on the snap clock. Why not run the clock down to 2 seconds before snapping the ball. If we hadn't scored on that play they have to use their final timeout. I didn't like our chances with 1:38 left on the clock and they still had a timeout left. Had flashes of the la tech and last years vandy game. Another potential snapping defeat from the jaws of victory situation.

I watched this game. I thought White was awful late in the game. Just didn't seem like the same QB from 2016. Ball St almost won this game. Kudos to the WKU DB who crushed the Pick6 for that final TD. Beautiful play.

RE: WKU vs Ball State 6ct stadium tv
White looked very good on the last drive. As WKUYG pointed out. He looked good when we went uptempo and putting the defense on their heels. Has has not looked good in this new system of TOP football. I don't like TOP football. I think it's for bad teams that want to keep a score close. Too conservative. We're not Bammer and ain't gonna power you down.

But it's what we're stuck with now. As I have pointed out before. Every swinging d!ck on this staff is doing a job they've never done before and it shows. Every one of them was promoted into the job they have now. Add in a 34 year old coach who has the balls of a 71 year old and we are what we are.

Right now our two best receivers are a RS Sophomore and a RS Freshman. Our best running back is a true freshman. Our line is still struggling. Looked much better on last drive. But were in uptempo. If people like me and Guns can see it why can't a kid getting paid 800k see it?
