FREE WINNER: Western Kentucky Both Sam Houston State and Western Kentucky had success in 2024 and will look to build on that this season. But the Bearkats underwent a coaching change when Phil Longo took over in the offseason. New Western Kentucky offensive coordinator Rick Bowie brings a high-flying offense from Abilene Christian, and is joined by his former quarterback, Maverick McIvor. McIvor racked up more than 8,000 career passing yards and 61 touchdowns at ACU. The Hilltoppers also have a 2-1 advantage in the series, winning the last two games in 2023 and 2024.
