WKU traveled down to Murfreesboro for the 100 Miles of Hate. The game was out of reach from the beginning with WKU trailing 20–3 at the half. The Blue Raiders would continue their competent play in the second half running all over WKU for a 29–10 MTSU Win moving WKU to 1–8 on the season.
Florida Atlantic hosted first place rival FIU in the annual Shula Bowl. After a close game in which the Owls led 21–14 heading into the fourth quarter the Owls scored 28 straight points as they routed their rivals in a 49–14 FAU win.

Last Meeting
Last season WKU hosted the future C-USA champion Owls with Conference USA still on the line with WKU sitting at 5–2. Despite multiple mistakes the Tops led 28–20 with 13 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Unfortunately, a Mike White interception completely changed the momentum and the Owls scored 22 unanswered points to head back to Boca Raton handing WKU a 42–28 loss.

After yet another listless performance last week, most of the fanbase has completely moved on from this team as the only interesting thing about this team remaining is whether Todd Stewart will move on from the Mike Sanford era. The Tops are heavy underdogs in yet another game against a team that should be able to run all over them with Devin Singletary. Another blowout and fans will collectively shrug their head and hope a change is imminent.
