The Owls are coming off a stunning win over Liberty as Kennesaw State pulled off one of the biggest upsets in college football this season. The Owls won their first FBS game in history.

"All we talked about for the last month-and-a-half is sticking together, believing in one another,” Kennesaw State coach Brian Bohannon said, via CNN.

“We said, ‘If we just keep doing it, something good will happen somewhere.’ We didn’t have the crystal ball to know when. But man, I could not be more proud of this football program than I am tonight,” he continued. "We’ve had a lot of great wins here. Nothing was better than that right there.”

"I thought it was a great team win tonight. This is a tough place to go on the road and get a win like we did. The first half was a total back-and-forth battle like I expected and then slowly but surely in the second half we were able to make some big plays. Defense had a big turnover in their area, we get it back," Hilltoppers coach said to Western Kentucky, via eam website.

"Just a great team win and this is the time of the year where you need these wins. When you go on the road, it says a lot about our football team. We get to recover a little bit, we get a bye, so that's good. We've got some bumps and bruises. Guys need to heal. But sitting in a good position."
