Line seems a bit high and it's even swelled to 9.5 where I bet. Kennesaw much better than they're getting credit for. I could easily see a let down here, especially with the way Porter has been playing. KSU looks solid here, but always playing with fire betting against MT at home.
I'll be curious to see how we come out and play. Do we have a bad taste in our mouth after the Liberty game and hyped for the conference home opener?.... Or will Porter's continued poor play drag us down and the team collectively build another brick house like we did our last game against Liberty?
Either win by 20+ or lose in my opinion. Need Mustafa to have a big game and Porter has got to get it going.

Great to see Porter getting back to his self. We needed Mustafa to come through tonight and he did. Gritty win against an underrated team in my opinion.

Good win again. Need to get Saturday. Western lost to Jaxville, would be nice if liberty loses tonight too. Again, we need to hold serve at home!
