MIAMI – Western Kentucky’s loss Friday will be defined by one terrible special teams mistake.
And boy, was it a blunder. A botched Jake Collins punt in Hilltopper territory resulted in Florida International’s D’Vonte Price walking in for a fumble return touchdown.

WKU’s 41-17 loss Friday to FIU at Riccardo Silva Stadium was an all-systems failure. It led to a disappointing end to the regular season for WKU (6-6 overall, 4-4 Conference USA).
“Everything,” said linebacker Joel Iyiegbuniwe, when asked what went wrong.
