The Kennesaw State University Owls(4-1) invite the North Carolina A & T Aggies(3-2) to Kennesaw, Georgia for their homecoming game, which also happens to be the Big South Game of the Week. This will be the first time the two highly-ranked teams will meet as it is A & T’s first season in the Big South. Both are hoping to remain undefeated in the Big South Conference, but only one may win.
KSU is currently ranked No. 13 going into their second conference game of the season carrying along a back-to-back Big South Player of the Week, Xavier Shepherd, sophomore quarterback. Shepherd has been vital in this KSU offense, as he ranks first in the Big South Conference for total points scored(54), most of which are from rushing. Kennesaw has a very established running game, but A&T is prepared to compete with that as they are the No. 1 rush defense in the Big South. The offense and defense on both teams are well-balanced against each other, and this is expected to be a pretty exciting homecoming matchup.
It is homecoming for the Owls, and the Aggies have a large alumni population in the metro-Atlanta area, so both sides should have a large crowd. The game may be spectated on ESPN +, the Nexstar network, the KSU Owls App, or in person at the Fifth Third Bank Stadium. This game will be a thrilling must-see one on October 16, 2021 at 5:00 p.m.!
