Once again WKU will look to pound the ball with their duo of Bobby Rainey(728 yards 7 TDs) and Chris Smith(507 yards 6 TDs) and set up some play actions down the field. ULL is going to have a hard time containing this two-headed monster of a rushing attack... All in all, WKU is going to play WKU football and run all over this ULL defense.

The sloppy conditions were the cause of the first turnover for WKU and the rest was down hill from there.....K.Jakes got pulled out of the game after throwing his fourth pick and got an ear full from coach Trooper Taylor. All in all, ULL stopped the ferocious tandem of Bobby Rainey(40 yards 2.5 avg) and the freshman sensation, Chris Smith(88 yards 6.7 avg). ULL just, simply put, out played WKU on offense(175 rushing yards) and defense(130 rushing yards allowed). Although there was a ray of hope for WKU as they sent second year quarterback, M.Vasquez in after the breakdown of Jakes, and he performed very well pulling the Hilltoppers with in two scores.........WKU heads home with their heads down, knowing they made too many mistakes and did not play like themselves today. Will K.Jakes start after WKU's bye week?

WKU's Coach on Coach Profile.



Trooper Taylor (born February 20, 1970 in Cuero, Texas) is an American college football head coach at Western Kentucky. He has spent over a decade coaching wide receivers, primarily in the Southeastern and Big 12 conferences. Most recently, he was the co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach for the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Personal life

Taylor grew up in Cuero, Texas and was raised in a family of 16. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Baylor University in 1992 and is married to Evi Crosby-Taylor, who was a track and field scholarship athlete at Baylor. The couple were wed in 1993 on the field at Baylor's Floyd Casey Stadium and have two children: a son, Blaise, and a daughter, Starr.

Career

Taylor played defensive back for the Baylor Bears from 1988-91 and finished his playing career as the school’s leader in kickoff returns and return yardage. After helping the Bears to the 1991 Copper Bowl and completing his degree, Taylor joined the coaching staff at his alma mater as a graduate assistant for two years before being named wide receivers coach in 1994. After coaching the secondary for two years, Taylor returned to coaching receivers before leaving Baylor to take the position coaching running backs at New Mexico.
In 1999, head coach Chris Scelfo lured Taylor to his staff at Tulane as the wide receivers coach. Taylor spent five years with the Green Wave before joining Philip Fulmer's staff at Tennessee. Taylor served as running backs coach before being promoted to assistant head coach of player development in 2005, which called on him to manage the academic and social direction and development of student-athletes in conjunction with their position coaches and the coordinators. In 2006, Taylor coached the wide receivers, helping the Vols to a 12th ranked pass offense. Following the 2007 season when offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe took the head coaching position at Duke (taking the OL and RB coaches with him), Taylor took a job as co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at Oklahoma State under Mike Gundy, with whom he had previously coached at Baylor in 1996. With the help of Taylor's receivers, the 2008 Cowboys ranked 6th in the nation in offensive production.
On January 5, 2009,Taylor was hire by Athletic Director,Camden Selig, as the new head coach of WKU.
Coach Taylor was recognized by Rivals.com as a top-25 national recruiter in 2005 and 2007. He has experience coaching in 6 bowl games including the 1994 Alamo Bowl, 2002 Hawaii Bowl, 2005 Cotton Bowl, 2007 Outback Bowl, 2008 Outback Bowl and the 2008 Holiday Bowl.

Players coached

Taylor has served as position coach for a number of prominent players over his career. At Tulane, he coached four wideouts into the NFL, including Roydell Williams of the Tennessee Titans. He also coached the nation's top receiving trio in 2001: Adrian Burnette, Kerwin Cook and Terrell Harris, who combined to lead the country with 2,384 receiving yards on 185 catches.
During his time in Knoxville, he mentored NFL backs Cedric Houston and Gerald Riggs Jr., who became Tennessee’s only pair of 1,000-yard rushers in the same season in 2004. He also coached future NFL wide receiver Robert Meachem to All-America honors in 2006. Meachem was part of a trio of Vols receivers including Jayson Swain and Bret Smith that caught a combined 159 receptions for 2,439 yards and 22 touchdowns. With all three players gone in 2007, Taylor mentored the new pass-catching trio of Lucas Taylor, Austin Rogers and Josh Briscoe to a combined 175 catches for 2,130 yards and 14 touchdowns.
In 2008, Taylor coached Oklahoma State's All-American receiver Dez Bryant into the 3rd leading receiver in the nation with catches totaling nearly 114 yards per game. Bryant was part of a potent Cowboys attack that ended ranked as the nation's 6th leading offense.

This is tough game to rebound after a stunning lose to ULL, but I don't think WKU can get it done this game. Georgia Tech is faster on both sides of the ball and has more depth. All in all, I won't be tuning into this game, it will not be pretty....Good luck Hilltoppers.

WKU came out fighting, but just could not get it done when called upon. Overall, it was a good game for the Hilltoppers, but they are still disappointed by the 9 point loss. WKU plans to end their 2 game losing streak at home next week against ULM.

Defense was the name of the game for WKU. Now it may not look like that on the stat sheet, but that is because WKU's defense returned three interceptions for a touchdown. All in all, it was WKU's game out there, as they had a record for attendance with over 6,000 people there.
