The Owls finally get one in the win column today against a tough Western Kentucky team tonight.

The Owls were up 7 late in the game with WKU driving. The Owls would get a pick in the end zone but for some reason decided to return it out to the 1 inch line with about 30 seconds left. WKU would get a safety to cut the lead to 5 but the Owls defense would come up huge with a game clinching INT with 7 seconds left. GG and good luck the rest of the way!
