BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) James Morgan threw three touchdowns and Florida International was mostly unchallenged in a 38-17 win over Western Kentucky on Saturday night.

With 5:03 before halftime, Morgan threw a 5-yard TD to Bryce Singleton for a 14-0 lead. In the third quarter, D'Vonte Price ran it in from 6 yards, and Morgan threw a 4-yard score to Austin Maloney with 26 seconds left in the third quarter to make it 28-3.

Price had 14 carries for 119 yards and two touchdowns for Florida International (6-2, 4-0 Conference USA). Price had a 58-yard touchdown run with 95 seconds left for the game's final margin.
