WKU begin their season against the Alabama Crimson Tide this week
As the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers prepare for their matchup against the Alabama Crimson Tide, head coach Tyson Helton declared the Hilltoppers quarterback competition over with Texas State transfer TJ Finley winning the job, but noting that backup Caden Veltkamp should be prepared to see time on the field."I told both quarterbacks they need to be ready to play."Last season, Finley threw for 3,439 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Although Veltkamp has experience under Helton's offense, Finley fits the system a bit more. Finley's body of work is also hard to ignore, plus Veltkamp's lack of experience appearing in only four career games. As Helton mentioned, it is likely that there are a couple packages that are favored towards Veltkamp that we can see throughout the coming weeks. It's far from an uncommon performance in college football.
The Hilltoppers will take on the #5 Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday, August 31st at 7:00 pm ET. The game can be watched on ESPN.
