Delaware Blue Hens vs. Kennesaw State Owls Prediction
I’m on Delaware in this one. Kennesaw State has the advantage of being at home here, but Delaware has the far better offense and far more competent QB play side by side. The Owls are worth taking a look at, but in the end I think Delaware gets it done on the road here. Give me Delaware.
