WKU End Regular Season With OT Win Over Florida Atlantic

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers closed out a close game against the Florida Atlantic Owls in the last week of the regular season by a score of 32-32 in overtime on Saturday.

The Tops spoiled the Owls’ Senior Day festivities as a result, totaling 571 yards on the day. While they didn’t cover the 7.5-point spread, head coach Tyson Helton was excited about his team’s win, despite two turnovers and going two-for-six on fourth down conversion attempts.

“It is just a great team win. I am just really proud of them, and FAU is a good football team.
