Preview: Kennesaw State Owls vs. Western Michigan Broncos CONWAY, S.C. (Interstat) — A pair of surging teams will clash in a non-conference postseason matchup when the Kennesaw State Owls face the Western Michigan Broncos at Brooks Stadium on Friday, Dec. 19, 2025. The Owls (10-3), the designated visiting team, enter on a three-game winning streak, most recently edging Jacksonville State 19-15 on Dec. 5. Their offense is powered by dynamic quarterback Amari Odom, who has been exceptional during the streak. Over the last three games, Odom has accounted for 10 total touchdowns, including a 387-yard, five-touchdown passing performance in a 41-34 win over Missouri State on Nov. 22. Western Michigan (9-4) has won four straight, capped by a 23-13 victory over Miami (Ohio) on Dec. 6. The Broncos’ offense leans on a potent ground game, with running back Jalen Buckley erupting for 193 yards and two scores in that last outing. Quarterback Broc Lowry provides a dual-threat element, averaging over 78 rushing yards per game during the win streak. This contest features a stylistic contrast: Kennesaw State’s high-flying, pass-oriented attack against Western Michigan’s physical, run-focused approach. The Owls’ defense, which allowed just 15 points last time out, will be tested by the Broncos’ relentless rushing tandem. National Statistical’s game simulator projects a narrow Kennesaw State victory, 33-31. Oddsmakers list the Owls as a 3.5-point favorite with an over/under total set at 47.5 points. The neutral-site game in Conway presents a unique challenge for both programs. Kennesaw State will look to cap its successful season with an 11th win, while Western Michigan aims to reach the 10-win plateau and secure momentum heading into the offseason. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST. The game will be televised on ESPN.
