2010 Week 3

With a 13-0 lead at the end of the first quarter it looked like there was a golden road ahead for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, but that all went away as soon as the second quarter struck the first second off the clock. That lead to a 28 point second quarter by Indiana giving them a 28-13 lead at the half. "It was like we thought we had already won the game or something.. I dont know what they were doing out there, but it sure as hell wasnt football. I am proud of the team for way they competed during the first and fourth quarter. Its good to see that we had no pics today either(broad grin comes across his face), or this could of been a blowout. These kids still have a lot to learn this year, i just wish I would of had more time with these kids during the offseason. We will learn from our mistakes and come out next week and compete. USF is a team that always brings everything they have and with it being at there place, you can expect them to perform even better. This will be a good test for us here early in the season. But overall im proud of the boys besides in the second and third quarters, but its back to work Monday. We got a lot of stuff to work on and a lot to prepare for." You can say that the Hilltoppers gave a good fight, but didnt quite have enough in the engine to grasp the touchdown the were looking for late in the game. It actually came down to a hail mary from around the 50 lard line, but got batted down by the Indiana defense to win the game with no time left on the clock. Next week will tell a lot. Hopefully the team will come out and battle hard like they did today, but FINISH the game this time and never let up.This loss now makes the Hilltoppers 0-3 on the season.
