Georgia
KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) --- Rickie Collins accounted for three touchdowns and
Latrelle Murrell ran for two touchdowns and Kennesaw State beat West Georgia
47-0 in the Owls' season opener on Thursday night.
It was Kennesaw State's first shutout since a 14-0 win at home against North
Carolina on Oct. 16, 2021.
Kennesaw State took advantage of Triston Morgan's 47-yard opening kickoff
return which started at the goal line. On the fifth play of the drive, Murrell
ran to his left and 45 yards later made it 6-0 before a missed point-after
attempt.
Morgan ran for a 60-yard touchdown on a one-play drive to extend the margin to
12-0 before a failed two-point conversion.
On the ensuing kickoff, Sean Ferguson fumbled at the Wolves' 14 and Josh Anglin
recovered it for Kennesaw State. Collins ran it in from the 3 with 44 seconds
left for a 19-0 lead after one quarter.
Murrell made it 26-0 after a 17-yard touchdown run ended a four-play, 62-yard
scoring drive with 6:18 before halftime. Collins ran it in from 24 yards out
and Boogie Woods III crashed in from a yard out for a 40-0 advantage at
halftime.
Collins threw his second touchdown pass --- a 9-yarder --- to Dylan Gary to
close the scoring with 9:19 left in the third.
Collin Hurst threw for 93 yards for the Wolves. ----
