- After an epic fourth quarter failure in last week's home loss to Louisiana Monroe, the Hilltoppers respond by bulldozing the Louisiana Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns by a score of 54-21.
- A 1-yard touchdown run by Louisiana Lafayette quarterback Brad McGuire cut the WKU lead to 27-14. The Hilltoppers responded with a 6 play, 70 yard drive that concluded with a Kawaun Jakes 1 yard touchdown run. That was the beginning of 27 unanswered points to put the game out of reach for the Ragin' Cajuns.
- Kawaun Jakes led the way with a career day going 18 for 22 passing for 262 yards and one touchdown through the air. He also added 28 yards on 4 rushes and two touchdowns on the ground.
- The defense recorded two touchdowns, a 70 yard fumble return by Jamarcus Allen and a 62 yard interception return by Derrius Brooks. They even recorded two sacks and held Louisiana Lafayette quarterback Chris Masson to pedestrian numbers, 16 for 33 for 223 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.
- Freshman running back Antonio Andrews had a breakout game with 52 yards on the ground for two touchdowns. Andrews seems to be asserting himself as another backfield weapon the offense can rely on as opposing defenses key in on stopping Bobby Rainey.
- The Hilltoppers put together their best game all year by protecting the ball, being efficient on offense, creating turnovers on defense, and scoring off those turnovers. The game plan was so well executed that punter Hendrix Brakefield took the evening off!
