Kennesaw State Remains Undefeated

By Morgana Kennedy



KENNESAW, Ga. -- The loud roar of over 8,000 Owl fans rang out as Justin Thompson kicked a 28-yard field goal to help defeat Shorter University 18-10, Saturday.

A major fumble by the Hawks allowed KSU to claim victory. Freshman Dez Billingslea picked up the ball after the failed snap and returned it for a touch down.

Thompson kicked four field goals during the game. He made 42 yards in the first quarter putting KSU on the board (3-0).

Quarterback Trey White threw for 186 yards and had 77 on the ground.  Micha Reed had 100 rushing yards on 26 carries and Justin Sumpter completed five passes for 121 yards. 

Shorter had a total of 135 yards passing and 27 rushing out of 31 attempts.

This game put KSU three for three in its first season ever. But, it was a much closer than the previous game against Edward Waters where the Owls won 58-7.

As the season continues the new comers may have some difficulty keeping their undefeated title. For now, KSU fans can boast a great start.
