After defeating preseason C-USA East favorite Middle Tennessee on the road in 100 Miles of Hate, Western Kentucky is now the de-facto favorite to win back-to-back division titles. But don’t sleep on Florida International and Old Dominion.
After firing Ron Turner FIU is now on a three-game winning streak under interim head coach Ron Cooper. Trailing 26-13 with 7:12 left on the road against Charlotte the Panthers roared back for the win as Alex McGough’s 9-yard touchdown pass to Jonnu Smith with over a minute left proved to be the deciding score.
FIU is 3-0 in conference play with two of those wins coming on the road.
