How to watch James Madison vs. WKU today: Channel, time, TV schedule, live stream for Boca Raton Bowl 2024  image

The Boca Raton Bowl promises an intriguing clash as James Madison and Western Kentucky prepare to square off under unique circumstances at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton, Florida. 

James Madison enters the bowl game with an 8-4 record, but their season ended on a sour note with consecutive losses. It’s been a transitional year for the Dukes, with Bob Chesney taking over as head coach following Curt Cignetti’s departure.

While their bowl eligibility was the subject of controversy in 2023, no such debates surround their participation this season. However, their quarterback situation remains uncertain.

Western Kentucky, meanwhile, finds itself navigating tumultuous waters. Despite finishing 8-5 and earning a spot in the Conference-USA championship game, the Hilltoppers have been decimated by transfers. Over 25 players, including star quarterback and Conference-USA Offensive Player of the Year Caden Veltkamp, have entered the transfer portal. Backup quarterback T.J. Finley is among those departing.
