Yes, But

WKU has the home-field and historical edge in Bowling Green, but Jax State has won the teams’ last two matchups. Recent regular-season meetings have been especially close, each decided by a late field goal.

What's Next

The Hilltoppers will try to upset the conference-leading Gamecocks and turn Homecoming into a key late-season win. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT at Houchens-Smith Stadium.

Bottom Line

WKU’s Homecoming brings a tough test: Jax State is undefeated in conference play, and the Hilltoppers need a strong finish to convert their home-field advantage into a win.
