Finley excited for Tops upcoming season opener

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The WKU Football team continues to prepare for its opening game of the season this Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

After an intense and hard-fought quarterback competition this offseason between Texas State transfer TJ Finley and Bowling Green native Caden Veltkamp, it was Finley who was announced this week by head coach Tyson Helton as the starting QB for the Tops.

Here’s what Finley had to say to the media for the first time since the news broke on Monday.

“I came here with one thing on my mind and that was to win football games. You know, Caden and I had a great competition, Coach Helton sat us down and talked to us and told us, you know, what it was going to be, and, you know, God allowed me to win the job again,” Finley said. “I’m looking forward to this season, looking forward to the ride that we got coming on. I love this team. You know, I love what we built, and we’re gonna go out there and show the world what we can do.”
