Florida Atlantic’s offense was never able to get going, the defense was unable to make stops, and that resulted in the Owls seventh straight loss of the year, 52-3 to Western Kentucky.
The Owls (1-7, 0-4 Conference USA) had 202 yards of total offense for the day. WKU dominated offensively, racking up 662 yards of offense.
WKU (6-3, 4-1 Conference USA) only needed three plays and 48 seconds to strike first, as a 75-yard touchdown pass from Mike White to Nicholas Norris put the Hilltoppers up 7-0.
They extended their lead with one minute remaining in the first quarter, when White once again connected on a deep touchdown pass, this one to Lucky Jackson for 54 yards to go up 14-0.
