After an impressive first victory of the season, the Owls will travel to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Saturday, Sept. 17 to take on Duquesne University.
The Dukes are 2-1 this season, losing their opener to Youngstown State and then winning their next two games against Bucknell University and the University of Dayton.
Kennesaw hopes to continue the momentum from its offensive frenzy against Point University and expand on the consistency they showed on both sides of the ball. The Chandler Burks and Justin Sumpter duo will once again be a vital part of a winning strategy for the Owls, since the two have connected three times for touchdowns so far this season. KSU has accumulated an astounding 578 rushing yards in the first two games.
The difference-maker on Saturday will be the Owls’ ability to sustain drives as they did against Point. On the defensive side, the Owls have been more consistent, in particular the rush defense.
Turnovers are an important aspect of defensive strategy and is something head coach Brian Bohannon has stressed is vital and must be improved upon.
So far, the Owls have had the benefit of a home crowd, but now they must travel to Pittsburgh and play without the same fan base. For those who aren’t able to make the trip, the game will be broadcast live on ESPN3 and listeners will be able to catch the game on ESPN Radio 1230 The Fan 2.
