Western Kentucky Form
Western Kentucky go into the Conference USA Championship having rebounded from back-to-back defeats with a win over Jacksonville State.
The Hilltoppers, who went 2-2 in non-conference play, opened their Conference USA schedule with a run of five consecutive victories.
They won 49-21 at Middle Tennessee State and 44-17 against UTEP, before recording back-to-back 31-14 wins against Sam Houston and Kennesaw State.
Western Kentucky made it to 5-0 with a 41-28 victory at New Mexico State, only to then cool off with a 12-7 loss to Louisiana Tech and a 39-21 loss to Liberty.
The Hilltoppers did win their regular season finale though, beating Jacksonville State 19-17 at home.
Jacksonville State Form
Jacksonville State enter the championship game on the back of a loss, but having won eight of their previous nine games.
The Gamecocks lost their first three games of the season, including their conference opener at Eastern Michigan 37-34, before finally getting off the mark with a 44-7 blowout of Southern Mississippi.
That proved to be the start of an eight-game streak as they won seven straight in Conference USA, starting with a 63-24 win at Kennesaw State.
Jacksonville State then beat New Mexico State 54-13 and Middle Tennessee State 42-20 at home, before heading out on the road to down Liberty 31-21 and Louisiana Tech 44-37.
The Gamecocks’ streak continued with home wins over Florida International, 34-31, and Sam Houston, 21-11, before finally ending with last week’s 19-17 loss at Western Kentucky.
Verdict
Jacksonville State lost to Western Kentucky last weekend, but that game was on the road.
They are back on home turf for this championship game and we expect them to take full advantage of that.
