Loy Brashear met new Western Kentucky University football coach Bobby Petrino on Monday and made a pretty bold prediction.

The longtime area resident, one-time WKU student and co-owner of the Heartland Golf Club told Petrino he believed the Hilltoppers could win eight to 10 games this fall.

“Coach Petrino is very impressive,” Brashear said during the Toppers on Tour stop at Heartland. “The man can coach.”
