COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Liberty has been the more complete team through six games, winning five straight and scoring 187 points with a balanced attack that leans heavily on the run. Its offense is averaging 31.2 points, 415.8 yards, and 6.5 yards per play per game, while the defense has held opponents to 15.3 points and 4.8 yards per play. Kennesaw State, meanwhile, has struggled to finish drives and protect possessions, scoring 22.3 points per game and allowing 23.5. The Owls are getting 226.2 passing yards and 143.7 rushing yards per game, but the defense has been hit for 376.3 yards per game and 6.0 yards per play, which is a tough profile against a Liberty offense that can move efficiently on the ground and stay ahead of schedule.
Liberty should control this game with a steadier offense, a more efficient run game, and the sharper defensive profile. Kennesaw State can move the ball enough to keep the game from getting out of hand early, but the Owls have not shown enough consistency to slow the Flames for four quarters. The projected final score is Liberty Flames 34, Kennesaw State Owls 17, which supports Liberty clearing its team total while also keeping the overall game near the low 50s.
