Western Kentucky lives and dies by the pass as Caden Veltkamp anchors Conference USA's #1 pass attack. With that said, he also has thrown the second-most interceptions (five) of any QB in the conference. Sam Houston State has been very good running the ball offensively with two running backs and their QB picking up more than 300 yards each on the ground. The Bearkats are second in Conference USA in picks (seven) and pass defenses (28) defensively this season. We've seen Western Kentucky struggle at times defensively, including giving up 514 yards to a Middle Tennessee squad that no one has hyped this season. Playing at home with a rest advantage, take Sam Houston State at home.
