KENNESAW, Ga.- In a weather-shortened affair, Kennesaw State defeated Reinhardt 31-7 in just over two quarters of action. Due to extended weather in the area and for the safety of fans and players, the game was called in the third quarter with 5:45 to play.
 
"There definitely some positives, and it was definitely good to be back home, the student section was phenomenal," said head coach Brian Bohannon. "I would have to say it was the best since we've been here. I don't know how many different ways I can tell you how big of a deal it is. Shoutout to the students and fans that came out tonight."

After the defense allowed just 13 yards on the initial drive, the punt return team pressured the Reinhardt kicker and forced a 15-yard punt. Just four plays later, Kevin Ficklin took a pitch nine yards and scored his first touchdown of the season to put the Owls on top just four minutes into the contest.
 
The defense stood strong on the second Eagle drive before Kennesaw State manufactured a 11-play 73-yard drive that was capped off by a one-yard quarterback dive from Daniel David. During the ensuing drive, Isaac Foster found paydirt after a 44-yard scamper that started on the right side of the field and continued into middle of the field after a cut by Foster.
 
Foster found the endzone for the second time at the 7:18 mark in the second quarter that extended the Kennesaw State lead to 28-7. Nathan Robertson tacked on a 40-yard field goal with 4:18 in the first half to push the advantage to 31-0. The Eagles scored with 17 seconds left in the second quarter to cut the Owl lead to 31-7 at the break.
 
Each team traded possessions in the third quarter before the game was called.
 
Foster ended with 127 yards on the ground with two scores and added 30 yards receiving. Daniel David finished 3-for-6 with 60 yards through the air and added a rushing touchdown.

"We had great blocking down the field tonight," said Foster. "The funny thing about my touchdown run is, before the game, Bronson Rechsteiner told me that he had a vision that he was going to cut somebody and get up and block they safety for a touchdown run for me and that is exactly what he did. There was great blocking on the perimeter all night.
 
Kareem Taylor led the Owl defense with five total tackles, while Charlie Patrick recorded a trio.

The Owls are off on Oct. 5, but will be back in action at home Oct. 12 against Charleston Southern.
