THE COACHING STAFF COACHING STAFF BY THE NUMBERS Mike Sanford’s second coaching staff features some turnovers, some role re-assignments, and a return of some familiar faces to keep continuity going as WKU seeks to each bowl eligibility for the eighth consecutive season. 156 In his first season as a head coach, Sanford was largely hands-off in the quarterback meeting room, an area in which Years of Combined he made his name as a position coach rising through the Coaching Experience ranks, and ceded a number of play calling decisions. That has changed in 2018 as Sanford now works directly with quarterbacks coach Matthew Mitchell in the room on a daily basis. The second-year head coach also assumed play-calling 45 duties for the Hilltoppers and will dictate the offensive Total Bowl rhythm in a more direct fashion this season. Game Appearances Offensive line coach TJ Woods and head strength and conditioning coach Jason Veltkamp are two new additions to the staff. Both bring a wealth of coaching experience at the highest level to the program in areas that need development heading into the 2018 season. 28 Defensively, the staff largely remained the same with the Bowl Game promotion of Kenny Martin from graduate assistant to full- time defensive tackles coach. Linebackers coach Maurice Victories Crum and safeties coach Jami DeBerry added the roles of co-special teams coordinators and will look to inject some of their own creativity into the third unit of the game. After a stellar first season as the defensive coordinator and playcaller, Clayton White added the title of assistant head 16 coach in his second tour of duty as a Hilltopper assistant.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Conner Manning threw for 276 yards and a touchdown to lead Georgia State a 27-17 victory over Western Kentucky in the Cure Bowl on Saturday. The Panthers (7-5) finished with a winning record with the first bowl win in Georgia State’s eight-year football history. Manning threw a 42-yard TD pass to Roger Carter, Demarcus Kirk scored on a 26-yard run, and Kyler Neal finished a 16-play drive consuming nine minutes of the fourth quarter with a 1-yard TD run that put Georgia State up 27-10. Mike White tossed TD passes of 54 and 4 yards to Deon Yelder, finishing with 351 yards - the senior’s eighth consecutive 300-yard game passing - for Western Kentucky (6-7). Yelder had five receptions for 112 yards for the Hilltoppers. Georgia State star Penny Hart, the Sun Belt Conference leading receiver, did not start and played sparingly because of an ankle injury. His lone reception - for 27 yards midway through the third quarter - came on the play before Manning threw his TD pass to Carter.

Corey Shaw’s interception set up the final points of the game, a 23-yard Martinez field goal, while Charles Thompson ended McNeese’s final possession with the Toppers’ third interception of the contest.

Frazier scored on a 55-yard run on the second play of the second quarter to double WKU’s advantage. The defense allowed only 19 yards on seven plays after a late first-half turnover, forcing the Cowboys to settle

BIG RED THE SPIRIT OF WESTERN

Big Red, Western Kentucky University’s athletic mascot, was born in the fall of 1979 and celebrates its birthday on December 1st. Big Red can be best described as the Spirit of Western!

The huge, furry, lovable creature was originally designed and built by WKU student Ralph Carey, (’80 WKU graduate), of Cincinnati, and made its debut during the Hilltoppers’ 1979-80 basketball season. Big Red has become a big hit with fans of all ages throughout the state and the nation. Big Red’s signature moves are the belly slide and belly shake.

Big Red is an eight-time participant in the Capital One Mascot Challenge and, in 2012, Big Red was named the first member of the Capital One Mascot Hall of Fame.

Prior to the 2013 season, Sports Illustrated rated Big Red as the number nine mascot in college football. Of course, on The Hill, we all think Big Red is No. 1.

The ultimate fan and supporter of all WKU’s intercollegiate sports, Big Red won the “Key to Spirit” award, the highest honor presented to team mascots at the time, at the Universal Cheerleading Association competition in 1980, 1981 and again in 1983.

In the spring of 1990, Big Red reached the “Final Four” of the UCA’s second annual national championship event in San Antonio, Texas, taking third-place honors. Then, in the spring of 1996, Big Red reached the “Final Four” of ESPN SportZone’s “Battle of the Mascots” in public balloting on the Internet.

Big Red was the centerpiece of ESPN’s promotion of the 25,000th Sports Center, airing in August 2002.

In 2005, Big Red placed second at the Universal Cheerleader Association’s Summer Camp in Knoxville, Tenn. Also, in 2005 Big Red was voted the favorite mascot (of participating schools) at the NCAA Mascot Mania celebration in Indianapolis, Ind.
