It’s only one year. Only one weekend really. But the significance of FAU’s 42-28 victory over WKU in Bowling Green, and FIU’s blowout victory over Marshall in Huntington, can’t be downplayed.
For the first time since 2014, FAU beat WKU. The win gave FAU their first ever victory in Bowling Green. During Western Kentucky’s run of back-to-back Conference USA Championships they didn’t lose a single home during conference play. WKU has now lost two conference games at home for the first time since 2014.
In 2014 Marshall won Conference USA East for the second straight season en route to winning the Conference USA Championship Game over Louisiana Tech.
