The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers will host the LA-Tech Bulldogs on Thursday night, and the Hilltoppers are coming off a win on the road versus Vanderbilt. The Bulldogs put up an impressive points total versus an inferior opponent in Week 1, defeating the Southern Jaguars 62-15.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Jeff Driskel - The former Florida Gator looked great in Week 1, throwing for 274 yards and four TDs on 12-of-15 passing. He hasn't had much success against tougher teams though, last year he threw twice as many interceptions (10) as TDs (5) over the first six weeks of the season as Florida's starter.

2. Brandon Doughty - The Hilltoppers quarterback put up ridiculous numbers last season, throwing for an FBS best 4,830 yards, 49 TDs and 10 INTs. One of his worst games of the season came on the road at Louisiana Tech, and he'll be seeking to avenge what was last season's most lopsided loss.

3. X-Factor - The Hilltoppers won five of six home games last year, and Doughty threw for 29 TDs and NO picks at home.

Selection: This is a play on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (8*)
