Kennesaw State Still Looking For First Win In FBS Football
This year was never expected to go well for the Kennesaw State Owls, as they are making the transition to FBS football from the FCS. But it may have been a stretch to say anyone expected it to be this bad. The Owls are 0-5 overall, including a double-digit loss at home to Tennessee Martin of the FCS. Kennesaw State is coming off of a 63-24 loss to Jacksonville State and the visitors in this game will need to be better on both sides of the ball if they want to get into the win column for the first time as an FBS team.
Middle Tennessee Looks to Snap Five-Game Losing Streak
Middle Tennessee hasn’t had a much better year than Kennesaw State this season. They are 1-5 overall for the season, with their lone win coming against an FCS school in Tennessee Tech. Since then, they have lost five games in a row by double-digits against FBS schools, a streak they will aim to break in this contest. For that to happen, Middle Tennessee has to score more than 21 points against an FBS opponent for the first time this season, something they are expected to do.
Kennesaw State vs Middle Tennessee Best Bet
