Seven touchdowns, and six of them came on the ground. Kennesaw State ran 47 times for 297 yards (6.3 a carry) and had West Georgia shut out 40-0 by halftime.
It started quickly. Latrelle Murrell took the game's first score 45 yards with 13:16 left in the first quarter, though the extra point failed. Triston Morgan then ran 60 yards for a score (the two-point try failed too), and Rickie Collins finished a drive from 3 yards. Murrell added a 17-yard run, Collins a 24-yarder, and Boogie Woods III a 1-yard plunge in the second quarter. The only touchdown that was not a run was a 9-yard pass from Collins to Dylan Gary with 9:19 left in the third, and the score stopped at 47-0 there.
Kennesaw State finished with 508 total yards, 211 of them through the air. It was not spotless: the team threw an interception and lost a fumble, and still won by 47. West Georgia did not score, and Kennesaw's defense got to the quarterback twice. Alan Woods III ran 11 times for 49 yards and Triston Morgan went 76 yards on five carries. Javon Rogers caught two passes for 55 yards, and Zion Booker five for 16. That is a lot of names for one rushing attack.
Kennesaw State is 1-0 and West Georgia 0-1. On the fantasy side, Collins led the game with 29.3 points, in spite of his lost fumble. Murrell had 20.8 on 88 rushing yards and two scores, and Gary caught seven passes for 18.2.
