WKU loses Cure Bowl, finishes season 6-7

Midway through the 1st quarter of the Cure Bowl against Georgia State, redshirt senior quarterback Mike White found redshirt senior tight Deon Yelder end for a 54 yard touchdown to give WKU a 10-7 lead. At the time, it looked as if the Hilltopper offense was in for a big day. But that wasn’t the case; White was sacked six times and the Hilltoppers didn’t visit the end zone again until late in the fourth quarter when the game was already out of reach. Georgia State scored 20 unanswered points after Yelder’s initial touchdown en route to a 27-17 victory.
