Game Thread: A&T vs. KSU

[WestCoastAggie]

Welp. This is going to be an elimination match.

A game thread? I’m not sure this game warrants a thread. Owls by 20.

[WestCoastAggie]

Interesting

We’ll consider A&T eliminated

Kennesaw is a nightmare if you’ve never played them before. You’ll find out how well your LB/DB can make solo tackles really quickly

Thank goodness we have at least 3 LBs that can do just that. I’m worried that Kennesaw may throw the ball more than 11 times though. 🤦🏿

Maybe. Maybe not. We’ll see.

[HootyHoo]

This will be a very interesting two weeks in the Big South. The four undefeated teams all play each other.

[caribbeanhen]

Looking forward to this game

not sure why it would be considered an elimination game as the school girl crush the voters have for Kennydoll is Real

I'm not sold on KSU yet. Win this one and I might buy in. I think it will be close. I picked A&T to win.

that’s the way I see it as well, I’m having a hard time pickin the winner on this one

[FUBeAR]

Does A&T’s game with Furman & Kennesaw’s game with Wofford…

…and then Wofford’s game with Furman provide any insight as to how this game might unfold?

I think A&T will be the best FCS team KSU has faced so far. It should be a close game. Both teams like to run the ball and stop the run.

If they do you win!

I'm very interested to see the KSU defense against the A&T offense

Well Well, Bmac named this game his GOTW. A&T vs KSU is getting some nice buzz. He predicts the Owls win by 10, and I agree with him. 24-14 type of game. Jah-Maine Martin vs Xavier Shepherd is going to be a great matchup.

[Professor Chaos]

Added a poll to this thread so we can see what AGS thinks. :)

He won’t be the main Back for us.

[HootyHoo]

He won’t be the main Back for us.

Well he has 30 more carries than anybody on your roster so he is your main back. Baker and Tuten are good backs as well. They are all dangerous.

[DEX]

Our offense will have to put up major points for us to stay close.

[Libertine]

I'm not sold on either team. KSU does, however, have some momentum built up and they're playing at home. Kennesaw is wildly overrated by the voters but I've still got them winning by 10.

Wildly overrated? ok enough. Hooty has officially had it. Kennesaw State is a top 10 team. This is not trolling. This is not homerism. It is a fact. The Owls are a disciplined smashmouth football team. KSU has never had the power run game like we do this season. The True Triple with a power QB is a whole different animal. Screw it, I'm calling a national title this season. Xavier Shepherd is about to run over all of you. The "I'm not sold on Kennesaw" era ends this season. Bring on the Bison! Bring on Barriere! Bring on the Bearkats!

Your defense is still shaky despite your FCS opponents to this point being either offensively challenged or absurdly inconsistent.

lol Hooty might be drinking during this Game 5. Perhaps my reaction was a tad over the top. The defense is ranked #1 in the Big South in total D and Scoring D. But you are right the opposition. Fortunately, it looks like the Aggies will provide a legitimate challenge. The Owls need to make a statement this week.

[WestCoastAggie]

It’s imperative we continue our recent streak of scoring at least 3 points on our opening drive.

[caribbeanhen]

Is Iaan Cousin fast?

he looks fast

Yes, He's made a couple house calls this season. Probably the biggest home run threat on the roster.

I just hope both teams have fun today

I got KSU here. Game won’t be close. #BOOKIT.

KSU kills them. HOOTY is the greatest FCS analyst on this board. #BOOKIT.

[BurialGround]

KSU lost a couple key players for the season this week, on top of other players who are out. I haven't seen A&T this year, but I respect their program and I'm a bit nervous about the game. Our offense might have to carry us. Should be fun.

[MUHAWKS]

Not sure what kind of team NC A&T is, I know they have some talent, but I am watching this game and anyone who does not think Kennesaw at the very least has a VERY GOOD defense is wearing "FCS power conference" goggles.. Their offense is what it is-- But these guys are freaking solid on D

[POD Knows]

That had to be a terrible spot on that 4th and 1. It didn’t look close but I guess they reviewed it.

Our run D is very good. We lack basic fundamentals in pass D that could easily be exposed by you guys and/or Campbell. We were lucky to be going against one of the worst FCS QBs I've ever seen. Our offense can move the ball, but we constantly shoot ourselves in the feet with turnovers and stupid penalties.

if he would only stick around for the whole year he would be a threat

North Carolina A&T ran out of pesticide for their 2 big games this year so while Kenny is going in, they haven’t accomplished anything yet

Bwhahaha Fowler wasn't that bad but the drop passes ... YIKES

That D Line is impressive. We had a couple of chances early and got wore down.

Great game and atmosphere.

[BurialGround]

Bwhahaha Fowler wasn't that bad but the drop passes ... YIKES

The dropped passes didn't help, but he threw behind or overthrew open receivers on quite a few plays. 14-35 176 yards. Didn't do anything with his legs. Maybe it was just an off-night. I hope so! Good luck the rest of the way.

We had no running game due to injuries, surprisingly. That led to a skiddish OL as KSU's defense could tee off. And those guys are fast.
