West Virginia @ Connecticut - Noon
North Texas @ Western Kentucky - 4:30 p.m.
The North Texas Mean Green come in to their game against the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky reeling from a week of bad news.
Head Coach Todd Dodge ordered drug testing for his players, and 15 of the Mean Green produced positive tests.
The Mean Green (0-8, 0-4 Sunbelt Conference) have had a rough season, but will face an opponent that hasn't had a great season either.
North Texas is near the bottom in almost every defensive category in the Football Bowl Subdivision (Div. 1-A) and hasn't scored enough touchdowns to keep up with their opponents. The Mean Green will look for their first win after losing 44-17 to Troy last Saturday.
Western Kentucky (2-6) has also struggled all season. The Hilltoppers are an FBS independent and still have a chance at becoming bowl eligible with four more wins.
Last season, Western Kentucky traveled to Denton, TX and lost to the Mean Green.
Tune in to MASN Saturday, Nov. 1 at 4:30 p.m. to watch this game.
