Last result: Western Kentucky 31 Miami (OH) 24
The Hilltoppers regain the top spot after Southern Miss’ lost to Troy. WKU had some troubles closing out the RedHawks on the road but eventually sealed the deal. This week the Hilltoppers added a new contributor to their offense as freshman Quinton Baker rushed for 103 yards and one touchdown.
After looking at the CUSA landscape, the Hilltoppers are the safest bet to win the conference for the second year in a row. A home game against Vanderbilt, who defeated Middle Tennessee two weeks ago, will close out the non-conference schedule.
