The Jacksonville State Gamecocks will host the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in the 2024 Conference USA Championship game next week. That game will be a rematch
of Saturday's matchup, which saw the Tops take down the Gamecocks 19-17 with a 50-yard field goal inside the final seconds.
Jax State starting QB Tyler Huff had to be helped off the field midway through the third quarter after an apparent lower body injury. Logan Smothers entered in his place, and delivered an admirable performance, finishing with five carries for 32 yards and a rushing touchdown, in addition to four completions for 62 yards. Huff did not return to the game.
In the final two minutes, Western Kentucky quickly ran ten plays and moved 44 yards, setting up Carneiro for the winning 50-yard field goal with three seconds remaining.
