Comments
Western Kentucky trounced UT Martin in their opener last weekend. The Hilltoppers quarterback is Bailey Zappe, a fifth-year transfer from Houston Baptist. In the opener, he completed 28 of 35 passes for 424 yards, 7 touchdowns, and an interception. He looks like a dangerous one. Army needs to limit Zappe’s opportunities with good defense and optimal triple-option success.
