Western Kentucky was the favorite to win Conference USA<\/a> last season with the likes of quarterback Austin Reed and wide receiver Malachi Corley returning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Hilltoppers dealt with some tough non-conference competition and lost close games against Liberty, Jacksonville State, and New Mexico State in league play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, WKU did beat Old Dominion in overtime in the Famous Toastery Bowl and, considering all the players the Hilltoppers added through the transfer portal this offseason, should have a chance of winning CUSA in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n
