At the conclusion of the regular season, WKU’s postseason hopes are out of their own hands. The Hilltoppers fell 41-17 to Florida International on Friday night to finish the season 6-6 (4-4 C-USA).
The 24-point loss was the worst C-USA loss for the Hilltoppers since 2014. The Hilltoppers led 17-13 in the third quarter after redshirt senior quarterback Mike White found senior wide receiver Nacarius Fant for a 14-yard touchdown strike.
Then, the Hilltoppers turned it over twice and gave up 28 unanswered points as FIU cruised to a 41-17 victory to ensure themselves a C-USA bowl game.
