The Chanticleers had a much needed bye this week. Next week they head to Marshall for an important game (we’ll get to the Herd in a second).
Tyson Helton, Western Kentucky
Western Kentucky 20-UAB 17. This was a big win for Western Kentucky as they are now the favorites to take on UTSA in the CUSA Championship Game. But this win is less impressive than it looks on paper. UAB was leading until their starting quarterback got hurt in the first quarter. The Hilltopper’s passing attack went completely missing (just 128 yards). They couldn’t stop UAB’s running back.
