WKU Hilltoppers Top USF Bulls in Miami Beach Bowl 45-35

Thanks to a 28-point third quarter, Western Kentucky beat the USF Bulls in the Miami Beach Bowl

After being down 14-10 at the end of the first half, Western Kentucky's Brandon Doughty led an offensive explosion in the third quarter that guided the Hilltoppers to a 45-35 victory in the Miami Beach Bowl.

The Hilltoppers got their offense going pretty quickly after USF's missed field goal to begin the second half. It took the Hilltoppers just three plays for Doughty to find his favorite target, Nicholas Norris, for a 69-yard touchdown pass.

USF promptly responded with a three-and-out.
