BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU got back to work on Tuesday in a two-plus hour practice session on the turf of Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium in preparation for the backend of a two-game homestand as the Hilltoppers host Houston Baptist under the lights on Saturday.
The Hilltoppers and Huskies kick off at 6 p.m. CT in a game set to stream live on WKUSports.tv with a simulcast from the Voice of the Hilltoppers, Randy Lee, and former WKU quarterback Leo Peckenpaugh calling the action. Subscriptions to WKUSports.tv, part of CBS's College Sports Live platform, begin at just $9.95/month or can be purchased annually for $99.95.
On Monday, head coach Jeff Brohm spoke to WKU's turnovers and penalties as cause of concern through the first quarter of the season. Following Tuesday's practice, quarterbacks coach Brian Brohm echoed his brother's sentiments.
"It's all about the details," Brohm said. "Everyone can draw up good plays and good schemes, but if we don't focus on the details or the fundamentals, we're going to get beat. We turned the ball over too much, struggled in the redzone, so we have to get better in those areas."
With redshirt sophomore D'Andre Ferby out due to injury, WKU's next two options at running back are freshmen in Quinton Baker and Marquez Trigg. Baker emerged in the Miami game to post WKU's first 100-yard game of the season, and Brohm indicated the young duo will have to "grow up fast."
"They have to be ready to go," Brohm added. "We're working them as hard as we can to try to get them ready. (Baker) is very receptive and doing a good job. We just have to keep working them."
