Fresh off a 44-28 win at Middle Tennessee, Kennesaw State returns home to host Delaware for Homecoming on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 3 p.m. ET at Fifth Third Stadium, with coverage on the KSU Owl Network.
"Great win from our team. We needed that one," Kennesaw State head coach Jerry Mack said at his weekly press conference Monday. "Whenever you get a win and you get in that winning column, you get a little taste of that, you see how that feels, you see how much you like it."
Bryson earned his touches
Davis Bryson, a CUSA Player of the Week, broke out at MTSU, and Mack said the veteran earned it. "No better person to do it than the guy that's been around here a long time, been through a lot of ups and downs, and he practiced his tail off really for about two or three weeks in a row," Mack said. "He showed up and he did a great job."
Collins and the receivers are clicking
Mack credited quarterback Rickie Collins' deep connection with Dylan Gary. "You look at those throws, the pinpoint accuracy. He can't do anything but catch it, to be honest with you," he said, adding that the receiver room is "getting just really, really comfortable, really trusting one another."
Delaware can sling it
Mack called Delaware "one of the best passing attacks in all of G6 football, in my opinion." He added: "The quarterback, that guy is fearless. ... If there's six inches of space, he trusts those receivers to go make plays on the ball."
Bring the noise
His message to returning alumni and fans was simple. "We're going to need the great fan base out there. We're going to need them being loud," he said. "Momentum is real, and the louder the fans are in those critical situations, in those moments, that really helps drive and motivate the entire team."
