WKU QB Mike White threw for 233 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. For the fifth time this season, White threw three touchdowns and no INTs. The Hilltoppers ran a balanced offensive attack, with RB Anthony Wales rushing for 110 yards and accounting for three total scores.

Middle Tennessee and Florida Atlantic combined for over 1,300 yards of total offense, and 19 touchdowns. 

The Blue Raiders broke school records for points scored in a game, total yards in a game, and rushing yards in a game.

MTSU WRs Richie James and Dennis Andrews, and MTSU RB I’Tavius Mathers, combined for ten touchdowns on the game.

Mathers’ 214 rushing yards gave him MTSU's single season rushing title (1,532). The record was previously held by Vance Hall, who rushed for 1,439 in 1984. Mathers ran for 100+ yards for the eighth time in his last ten games.

Old Dominion 42, FIU 28

Old Dominion capped a five game win streak with a 42-28 win over FIU on Saturday night.

The Monarchs' win over FIU tied them atop the East with Western Kentucky. But an ODU loss to WKU on October 22, gave the Hilltoppers the edge they needed to advance to the conference title game.

Nonetheless, ODU had to plenty celebrate over the weekend. RB Ray Lawry became Old Dominion’s all-time leader in touchdowns (38). Lawry finished the game with 194 yards and three touchdowns. David Washington threw for 141 yards and two touchdowns.

Florida International will miss a postseason bowl appearance for the fifth year in a row. Earlier this month, Butch Davis was named as FIU’s next head coach. Watch our exclusive interview with Butch Davis here.

North Texas finished with 304 yards of offense on the game. NT QB Alec Morris threw for 197 yards and two touchdowns.

The Miners defeated the Mean Green for the third time straight time. The Mean Green finished with a 5-7 record --- the most wins since a 9-4 record in the 2013 season.
