Middle Tennessee secured its latest win by defeating FIU 26-23, aided by a late 25-yard completion from Roman Gagliano to Cam’ron Lacy on fourth-and-10. Terrence Brown Jr. contributed a career-high 158 rushing yards alongside a 54-yard touchdown run, and kicker Dominic Bourgeois converted four field goals, including two from at least 50 yards. Derek Mason’s squad has won two consecutive games and holds a 3-0 record at home.
On the other side, Kennesaw State dropped its most recent outing 34-6 to Liberty, as Rickie Collins threw for 124 yards with two interceptions before Landon Varnes added 111 passing yards in relief, and Baron Hopson recorded 12 tackles. Although the Owls have not won since their season opener, three of their subsequent four losses were decided by three points or fewer, including tight games against Arkansas State, Jacksonville State, and Missouri State. Jerry Mack’s team previously defeated Middle Tennessee 24-16 last season after dropping a 14-5 decision in 2024.
Detailed Matchup Predictions
Kennesaw State aims to rebound against a Middle Tennessee defense that surrenders 194.7 rushing yards per contest, though the Owls managed only 62 yards on the ground against Liberty. Collins completed 26 of 34 passes for 260 yards against Missouri State earlier in the season, connecting with Dylan Gary for 10 catches, 135 yards, and a touchdown. Despite averaging 20 points per game, Kennesaw State’s narrow defeats demonstrate an ability to challenge conference opponents.
Regarding the total score, only one of Kennesaw State’s last four games has cleared the 52.5 combined points threshold, marked by a 27-26 loss to Jacksonville State. The Owls accumulated 297 total yards against Liberty but stalled in the red zone, settling for two field goals. Middle Tennessee’s recent 49-point total against FIU and a prior 33-30 contest against Delaware indicate that higher scores remain possible when the Blue Raiders successfully capitalize in the end zone.
