Kennesaw State scored the first points of the game on a safety, but only found three points the rest of the way in the loss.

Liberty vs Kennesaw State Prediction
Kennesaw State comes into this matchup looking for their first win of the season, but they will play the undefeated Liberty Flames in this game. Liberty has looked pretty good this season, but they barely got by FIU at home in their last game. Kennesaw State has one of the worst offensive attacks in the country and they failed to find the end zone in their last game against Middle Tennessee, which has an awful defense. The Owls really haven’t been very competitive this season and I don’t see how they can keep this game close. Take Liberty on the road.
David’s Pick Liberty -23.5
