Hilltoppers reach bowl eligibility with win at FAU

WKU put up their third straight conference win this week with a convincing 52-3 win over Florida Atlantic University to achieve bowl eligibility for the third straight season.

The heavily-favored Hilltoppers left no doubt in this game, as redshirt junior quarterback Mike White hit senior wide receiver Nicholas Norris on a 76-yard pass to put WKU up 7-0 in the first minute of the game.

WKU never looked back, scoring 24 straight points before FAU would score their only 3 points. WKU then proceeded to score another 28 unanswered to close out the game handily.

It was a productive day for WKU on both sides of the ball.
