WKU redshirt sophomore running back Anthony Wales (20) carries the ball against the Hilltopper’s first Conference USA opponent University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) Saturday October 4, 2014 at Smith Stadium in Bowling Green, Ky. Despite rushing for 138 yards and three scores Wales could not propel the Hilltoppers to victory in a disappointing 42-39 loss that saw the WKU defense allow 591 yards on offense, a season high.
