    WKU Western Kentucky

    NCAA Stats

    Western Kentucky
    Passing Offense 2nd in the country
    Passing Defense 122
    Rushing Offense 88
    Rushing Defense 116

    Tech
    Passing Offense 46
    Passing Defense 38
    Rushing Offense 99!!!
    Rushing Defense 31

    This will be a huge test for us. Dixon needs to have a great game to wear out their defense and keep that offense off the field. This will be Diaz's game to win or lose.

    They look a lot like our 2012 team.

    Our 2012 team averaged 6.58 yards per play. WKU averages 6.81 yards per play.

    I agree that this is going to be a real test. We do better against a run game and this is a passing team. Our defensive scheme will have to adjust to that. We can't get into a shootout. I agree that this will be a Diaz game for us.

    Re: Western Kentucky

    Statistically, wku deserves some measure of respect but if you look at their wins and loses i really cant be too worried about them. Something is making them a 3-5 team.

    For years we were the one pinning our hopes on out scoring everybody and we know what that got us.

    We are not that team any longer. We have the more balanced team and we know what that can get us(2012 utah st for example).

    If the dawgs play well; doesnt have to be great, we will take this one just like ut st did to us two years ago.

    Houston Bates (DE, an absolute BEAST), Andre Taylor (DE), Mitch Villamez (LB), Tony Johnson (LB) and Terrell Pinson (LB) will have to have a CAREER day this Saturday against WKU. We need QB sacks, QB hurries, interceptions and more QB sacks from these players. These guys must keep the pressure on the WKU QB, and force him to throw sooner than he wants. If these guys succeed, I'm confident that Woods, Brice, Grogan, Barnes, Liggins, and Abraham will come away with several pics.

    Re: Western Kentucky

    Another way to counter the big offense is with long, methodical drives to keep their offense off the field. They give up 241 yards rushing a game. (but so does USM... our line is pretty bad run blockers).

    WKU is 3-4. The four loses were nailbiters (by a combined 21 points). Their senior QB Doughty is on pace to surpass 5,000 passing yards and 40+ TDs (currently 2,871 passing yards and 24 TDs vs only 4 INTs). Doughty should be earning an NFL paycheck this time next year.

    Great point. I do agree. I wouldn't be surprised if Dixon rushes for 300 yards against WKU. I know that sounds a little strange.....but because we've been in WKU's shoes, we know teams can do it (e.g., Rice, etc...) This game will be Dixon's "stat building" opportunity.

    I have faith in our coaching staff to figure out the run blocking problem and get the guys executing.

    We have to win. Losing this game on Homecoming will be very damaging. There are a lot of alumns who come back just for homecoming, we better not lay an egg like the NSU game.

    I don't know. Our OL is horrid on run blocking. We couldn't go man for man against NSU. I don't think we can fix it with the current options. We'll have to scheme around it.

    We made the adjustment to start throwing to Dixon. I think we can make in game changes to have success.

    With Lee out, hopefully Griffin will be back to improve depth and provide another possession receiver option. Tech can't afford 3-and-outs against the Hilltoppers.
