The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers have now won three bowl games in four trips to the postseason under Tyson Helton.
WKU earned Conference USA’s second win of the 2022 bowl season on Wednesday when they defeated South Alabama 44-23 in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.
The Tops pick up their ninth win of the season while South Alabama suffered just their third loss of the year in what was, otherwise, the program’s best FBS season.

Western Kentucky came out aggressive with touchdown passes from Austin Reed on each of their first two possessions.
