Game Preview
Middle Tennessee travels to take on Western Kentucky in Conference-USA play to kick off week five of college football action on Thursday night. Can the Western Kentucky defense bounce back from last week’s loss to bring the team’s record to 2-2?
In 2023, Austin Reed led all quarterbacks in passing efficiency, and he’s doing it again for the pass-happy Hilltoppers. Middle Tennessee, who has had a slow start to the season due to a challenging schedule, will be the opponent.
Despite facing two SEC defenses in his first full season as the starter, Nicholas Vattiato has led the Blue Raiders to a top-30 passing percentage this season. Even though the quarterback has a 71% completion rate, the team is having trouble moving the ball downfield because he is averaging less than six yards per dropback.
WKU’s 2022 national passing leader has helped the team to a fourth-place pass rate this season. Even though Austin Reed isn’t the best in the country this year, the Hilltoppers could benefit from their opponent’s defense being less formidable than it was when they faced Ohio State and Troy two weeks ago. Reed had little trouble passing for 278 yards and a touchdown in last year’s 35-17 victory over Middle Tennessee State.
Based on the performances of the two defenses so far this year, this game has all the makings of a high-scoring affair. Conventional wisdom is we don’t have a clear idea of how these two teams will do against excellent teams because both have battled mightily to stop elite teams on their schedule.
In addition to giving up over seven yards per play to FCS opponent Houston Baptist at home, Western Kentucky’s defense ranks 125th in EPA/Play. Vattiao has been vital for Middle Tennessee as he has led the team in rushing yards and made plays in a pass-first offense.
