Tuesday night at Houchens-Smith Stadium, Hilltopper football took the field with the FIU Panthers in a Conference USA midweek matchup. WKU held a 5-1 record heading into the game, looking to become bowl eligible with win number six,

George Hart III had a short touchdown run on the second possession of overtime and Rodney Tisdale Jr. found Moussa Barry in the end zone for a game-winning 2-point conversion to give Western Kentucky a 28-27 victory over Louisiana Tech.

If you have been an avid fan of Hilltopper football, especially in recent years, then you have seen the ‘Zombieland’ celebration out on the field. A celebration that was created right on the Hill of Western Kentucky University.
