Unlike last week, the WKU (3-6), (2-3, C-USA) offense was able to do just enough to reward their defense and Hilltopper fans with a 10-7 win over the University of Southern Mississippi (2-6), (1-3, C-USA).
A final drive stop from WKU with under two minutes to play depleted all chances of a Golden Eagles comeback victory.
Graduate quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome scored the lone touchdown for the Hilltoppers with a one-yard run on WKU’s first drive of the game. Pigrome added 183 passing yards to his credit, which is the most yards he has thrown for since Oct.
