After losing in bizarre fashion to Old Dominion, the Hilltoppers (1-6, 0-3 Conference USA), are down to their last chance to maintain bowl eligibility against Florida International.
The game will be the anchor of WKU’s Homecoming week activities.“A lot of places Homecoming is just kind of a formality,” head coach Mike Sanford said at Thursday’s Homecoming chili cheese luncheon. “Here at WKU there’s a difference. There’s a difference on campus. The parade, the chili cookout [Thursday], you sense the pride that the alumni of this university have."
The team will do its best to send the alumni home happy, despite facing an FIU team that has gone 5-2, 3-0 in C-USA thus far.
