Big coaching advantage here with Skip Holtz (27 wins the last three years), taking on Mike Sanford who looks like he might have destroyed what Jeff Brohm built. Okay maybe I am exaggerating, but still Sanford in his staff have no experience and they lost a ton on offense, and the offensive line looks a mess. It's a bad match up against Louisana Tech who wants revenge from last year's CUSA Championship loss. It just so happens that they are strong on the defensive line led by Jaylon Ferguson.

LA Tech's offense has also struggled to start the year, but had to face Miss State. It was a misleading loss against Miss State as they gave up 57 points. This defense is much better this year and they only gave up 459 yards to Miss State, but there were multiple non-offensive TD's that were given up that made it a very misleading final against an SEC opponent. At the end of the day I don't think Western Kentucky is very good this year, their coaching staff has a lot to prove, and Louisiana Tech is hungry for revenge.
