Kennesaw State entered a new era with Jerry Mack as its head coach. And the Owls immediately showed that they might be capable of being more competitive in Conference USA this year.
The Owls nearly defeated Wake Forest, which pulled off the 10-9 victory, in Week 1. Still, that’s encouraging for a team that struggled in 2024, its first season in the FBS.
The Owls have to take on another Power Four opponent this week, though, and this one is probably going to be even more challenging.

Kennesaw State vs. Indiana Prediction
I predict Indiana will win but Kennesaw State will cover the 35.5-point spread. I also project the game will go Under 52.5 total points.
If Kennesaw State proved anything last week in that loss to Wake Forest, it’s that the Owls are capable of playing some tough defense. I think this KSU team will also make things difficult for Indiana.
I also think between quarterback Dexter Williams II and running back Coleman Bennett, the Owls will manage to sustain some longer drives in this matchup.
I’m not expecting Kennesaw State to get the win. But I do believe the Owls could make this game interesting in the first half and prevent Indiana from winning by five touchdowns.
