WKU (0-0) vs UT Martin (0-0) Game Preview
Why UT Martin Will Win
The Skyhawks put together a decent FCS spring session, going 3-4 with a good passing game and solid run defense.
There were problems at times – particularly against a strong Jacksonville State team – but overall the defense was able to hold up well, especially on third downs.
Offensively, UT Martin has a quick veteran back in Peyton Logan – he’s a top pass catcher, too – and two good targets in No. 1 wide receiver Colton Dowell and tight end Rodney Williams.
