West Georgia WolvesvsKennesaw State Owls
WES 0/KENN 47
Things to say
Kennesaw State shut out West Georgia 47-0 at home to open the season 1-0.
01
opener
Kennesaw State just hung a 47-spot on West Georgia and pitched a shutout. It was smashmouth from the jump. West Georgia couldn't move the ball at all.
02
key player
Latrelle Murrell was the story on the ground. Nine carries, 88 yards, two touchdowns, including a 45-yarder to open it up. Efficient and gone.
03
hot take
Rickie Collins didn't even need to throw much and still ran in two scores himself. When your QB is barely stressed, the game was over by halftime.
04
deep cut
Triston Morgan ripped off a 60-yard touchdown run out of nowhere. That's a backup-level burst that tells you the whole line was winning at the point of attack.
05
exit
Anyway, 47-0 tells you plenty. Curious if they keep it rolling next week against somebody with a pulse.
The recap
Kennesaw State ran West Georgia off their own field, 47-0, and it wasn't close for even a snap. Latrelle Murrell set the tone early with a 45-yard scamper and finished with two touchdowns on the ground, while quarterback Rickie Collins did whatever he wanted — 156 yards through the air plus two more scores with his legs.
The Owls just kept pounding it downhill, and the defense pitched a shutout that never let the Wolves sniff the red zone. West Georgia couldn't move the ball an inch, and this one was over by halftime.
