KSU Travels to North Carolina to Take on the Camels
No. 11 KSU heads to Buies Creek, N.C. Saturday, Oct. 23 as it looks to move into the top 10 with a win over Campbell. Kickoff is set for 4:00 p.m. It's the third all-time meeting between the two schools. The last was decided by only three points, as the Owls halted a 4th quarter comeback by the Camels. A KSU win would mark the fourth straight season the Owls have started 6-1.

Brian Bohannon Press Conference Previewing Campbell
"They're a talented team. They've got a really good receiver, probably playing as good as he's played. The quarterback's different (Wiley Hartley) from the one we played in 2019. He's been hurt. But, he can really throw the ball. Over half the defense is back from '19 when we played them. They're a little different with this young man at quarterback because they're throwing it a bit more."

KSU had extended that lead to 17-0 by halftime on a Nathan Robertson 45 yard field goal.

#20 Kennesaw State Hosts #17 Jacksonville State Saturday
The game at GT was tough. This game has the potential to be right up there. No. 17 Jacksonville State comes to Fifth Third Bank Stadium Saturday. Even though the teams have only met twice, they've both been ones to remember. First in 2017 in the Second Round of the FCS Playoffs in Jacksonville, AL with the Gamecocks falling 17-7. Then, the 2018 (5 OT) barnburner at Suntrust Park.
