On Friday night, one of the more successful senior classes in WKU football history will play its last game at Houchens-Smith Stadium when the Hilltoppers host rival Middle Tennessee State.
Following a three-game losing streak, the unit's final home game hasn’t arrived quite the way many of those players envisioned. At this time of the year the past couple of seasons, the Hilltoppers were looking to wrap up the Conference-USA East division and a berth in the C-USA championship game. Now, the Hilltoppers need to win one of their last two games to become bowl eligible, and likely need to win both games to guarantee that 13th game.
