Over the past three months Amari Odom has progressed from being a backup to a starting quarterback. Now the Kennesaw State sophomore is on the verge of becoming an elite player and is one win from leading the team into the conference championship game.
A win Saturday when the Owls (8-3, 6-1 Conference USA) travel to Liberty (4-7, 3-4) will put Kennesaw State into the CUSA title game. With a victory, KSU will play in the championship game Dec. 5 against the winner of Saturday’s game between Western Kentucky (8-3, 6-1) and Jacksonville State (7-4, 6-1).
