NOTES

- Helton said that he is really excited about this week because it is a great opportunity to play Army on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. "It's a great honor to play in that game," he said. "I can't think of a better environment."

- Helton announced that tight end Josh Simon has a knee injury and said that WKU will "see how that progresses." When asked if Simon would be out for Saturday's game, Helton said he doesn't know yet.

- Helton spoke highly of Army's location in West Point, saying that it is a great campus with a great stadium and a great atmosphere. "The pageantry of college football on a day like (9/11) is going to be tremendous," he said. "Just really excited to have that opportunity."

- Helton said Army is a really good football team and Black Knights' coach Jeff Monken does a great job. He said they have really good quarterbacks who know how to run the system and a big fullback who is 260 pounds and hard to tackle. "They just wear you down."

- On how WKU will approach limiting Army, Helton said this: "I guess you have to Army them back like we did (in the Hilltoppers' 17-8 win in 2019). We've gotta play ball control on offense and be able to run the football and eat up the clock. It may be a boring football game, but that's kind of the formula."
