In a critical game for their Conference USA championship hopes, Western Kentucky is making sure they look damn good for their next game.
We can go ahead and stop the fight on the best helmet of the year in college football, because the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers just destroyed everybody.
The Hilltoppers are taking their love of Big Red a step further. When they step on the field Tuesday for a home game against Liberty, the Hilltoppers will trot out seven different Big Red-themed helmets.
WKU released a video starring Big Red and quarterback Austin Reed on Friday to commemorate the occasion.
Big Red has been entertaining Hilltoppers fans since the 1980 men’s basketball season, and his profile has only increased since Western Kentucky jumped up to the FBS in 2009.

Each position group — quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, linemen, linebackers, defensive backs, specialists — will wear a different helmet decal depicting Big Red playing that position.
Big Red and the players wearing him will hit the field at 7:30 p.m. ET Tuesday in a game televised by ESPNU.
For the season, Western Kentucky is 4-3 overall and 2-1 in the conference.
