With an annual season goal on the line, WKU (6-3, 4-1 Conference USA) achieved bowl eligibility for the third straight season by defeating Florida Atlantic University by a final score of 52-3 on Saturday.

“I thought our guys had a great week of practice, and I think they do a great job each week of coming to practice and working on their weaknesses trying to get better, trying to find a way improve,” Head Coach Jeff Brohm said.
