Hilltoppers come out on top over FIU, first back-to-back wins of the season

On an unusually warm late November afternoon, WKU (4-6), (3-3, C-USA) closed out its home season with an impressive 38-13 win over Florida International University (0-5), (0-3, C-USA). This victory for the Hilltoppers gave them their first win streak of the 2020 campaign.

WKU relied heavily on the run game to achieve their second win in a row, receiving 170-yards and a touchdown on the ground from the senior running backs Gaej Walker and Jakairi Moses. Walker ran for 127-yards, while Moses came up with the other 43-yards.

“It was good to finally have a team win and to finally be able to put it together and do it on senior day,” head coach Tyson Helton said following the win.
