The WKU football team (5-4, 4-2 C-USA) ceded even more ground in the Conference USA East Division race against Florida Atlantic (6-3, 4-1 C-USA) on Saturday afternoon, as the Hilltoppers dropped their second straight conference game in Houchens-Smith Stadium.
A win would’ve kept the Hilltoppers in sole possession of first place in the East, but another loss has given both FAU and Marshall (6-3, 4-1 C-USA) head-to-head tiebreakers over WKU and allowed the Owls and Thundering Herd to move into a tie for first place in the division.
“It was a hard-fought battle between two good football teams,” head coach Tyson Helton said postgame.
