The Kennesaw State Owls knocked off previously-undefeated Liberty for their first win of the season last Wednesday, frustrating Conference USA’s top rushing team while rolling up season-high yardage of its own in a 27-24 win. For gaining its first FBS victory in front of its home fans, Kennesaw State earned the Cheez-It National Team of the Week award for games the weekend of Oct. 26, as selected by the All-America Committee of the Football Writers Association of America.
