“They snuck one from us.”

RICHMOND, Ky. (WTVQ) – Eastern Kentucky did a great job Saturday hanging in the season opener at Western Kentucky…31-17 the final.

EKU threw for 320, but rushed for just 25 yards.

Defensively, the pieces are there…including Aaron Patrick at defensive end.

He was one of the guys who remembers the Kentucky game two years ago.  The way EKU fell in overtime.

So the return trip has been on his wall for a while…just like last Saturday’s WKU game.

Hear from Patrick in the video.
