–Opening comment: “This game ended up being a little bit like I expected it to be, and probably different from what a lot of people here expected it to be. Western Kentucky, Coach Taggert, and his staff do a really good job and use a lot of pressure with their defense and a lot of stunts. They try to give you bad plays, which we had far too many negative plays on offense that really hurt us. They’re stubborn about running the ball, doing a lot of different formations, being a little different in terms of having two tight ends and one wide receiver on third downs. They create some issues that are a little different for us, and they do a really good job with a control passing game, which they did today.
“We didn’t give up big plays, which is really important and makes it hard to score. I was pleased with being able to get a shutout....
“I really think that we fully expected Jesse (Williams) and Dee Milliner to be able to play today. We weren’t trying to hide anything. Dee actually strained a hip flexor Wednesday in practice or something and actually practiced some on Thursday...
Jesse tested normal for the concussion, but awoke Saturday with a severe headache, so he was held out.
