Kennesaw State Makes FBS Football Debut
The Kennesaw State Owls have their work cut out for them heading into the 2024 college football season. They had a losing record last season when they finished up their time in FBS competition. Now they are going to face much tougher competition week in and week out as they look to avoid struggles out of the gate after moving to the big leagues.
The quarterback situation for Kennesaw State will be a big question mark early in the year. The Owls don’t have a lot of experience at that position at all, let alone experience against FBS competition. Tht could cost them dearly as they take on defenses that are bigger and faster than what they are used to as they make their transition.
UTSA Brings Explosive Offense Into 2024
The UTSA Roadrunners were one of the best teams in the American Athletic Conference a season ago. They went 9-4 overall and went 7-1 in conference play, missing out on the AAC title game by just one game in the standings. Here, the Roadrunners will look to get their 2024 season off to a good start against an opponent they should be able to overwhelm with their offense.
UTSA isn’t exactly loaded with experience at the quarterback position themselves going into this year, with Frank Harris no longer running the Roadrunners offense after a productive year last season. Who they replace him with still remains to be seen, but the Roadrunners should have a big physical advantage no matter who plays in this game.
Kennesaw State vs UTSA Best Bet
While both teams have question marks to address on the offensive side of the ball, we will lay the points with UTSA. The Roadrunners should win big in this contest, using their advantages all over the rest of the field to make up for their quarterback questions. Expect a rough welcome to FBS football for Kennesaw State and for UTSA to benefit from it.
