In a highly anticipated Conference USA matchup, the Kennesaw State Owls (1-6) are set to face off against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (5-2) on Wednesday at Houchens Industries L. T. Smith Stadium in Bowling Green, Ky. The Hilltoppers enter the game as 24-point favorites after winning two straight games, including a convincing 31-14 victory over Sam Houston in Week 8.
While Western Kentucky has been a dominant force this season, Kennesaw State pulled off a major upset last week by defeating previously undefeated Liberty 27-24. Despite being 26.5-point underdogs, the Owls secured their first win of the season and their first as an FBS squad.
The Hilltoppers boast a potent offense led by sophomore quarterback Caden Veltkamp, who has thrown for 1,428 yards and 14 touchdowns this season. The Owls, on the other hand, have seen contributions from players like senior running back Michael Benefield and sophomore Qua Ashley in the rushing game.
