Western Kentucky will provide a strong test for Ohio State's passing defense and has dominated the turnover battle so far this season but features a below-average defense.
With a top-10 showdown on the road looming against Notre Dame in Week 4, the Buckeyes get what should be one final chance to iron out any kinks – offensively and defensively – before the true tests of their season begin.
That said, it’s been a by-committee approach out wide for Western Kentucky in both 2022 and 2023. Four pass catchers had 600 yards or more for the Hilltoppers last year and six are currently over 50 yards this year, with Easton Messer leading the charge at 11 receptions for 134 yards. With all their returning offensive talent, it’s no surprise that the Hilltoppers have started the year out with a pair of three-score victories.
After taking on the Buckeyes, Western Kentucky will travel to Troy before opening conference play. The expectation is that the squad will be in the thick of the Conference USA title race.One of the keys to victory across both of Western Kentucky’s wins has been ball security on offense and collecting takeaways on defense.
It’s all compounded by the fact that the Hilltoppers’ offense has yet to turn the ball over itself. WKU is one of nine teams across the country who has yet to give it away.For all of Western Kentucky’s success tossing pigskins around gridirons in 2022, its defense performed at a below-average level on the campaign.
