Award YearBig South Coach of the Year 2017AFCA FCS National Coach of the Year 2017Eddie Robinson Award - Finalist 2017Big South Coach of the Year 2018AFCA District Coach of the Year 2018Eddie Robinson Award - Runner-Up 2018

After becoming the first head football coach in Kennesaw State University history, Brian Bohan-non has taken the Owls to heights never seen by a start-up football program.

In just four short years, Bohannon has led the Owls to a 37-12 record, back-to-back Big South Conference championships and consecutive ap-pearances in the quarterfinals of the FCS Play-offs. After graduating the inaugural signing class in 2018, Bohannon has a new challenge ahead as the Owls go for an outright three-peat conference championship in 2019, something never done in the history of the league.

After putting the world on notice in 2017 with a 12-2 season, the outright Big South Conference ti-tle and two FCS Playoffs victories, the Owls some-how outdid themselves during the 2018 campaign. Ranked No. 2 in the nation for much of the year, KSU earned the No. 4 overall seed in the playoffs and took an 11-game winning streak to a second consecutive quarterfinal appearance where they held the third-longest home streak in the nation that dated back over two calendar years.

While the Owls have dominated on the field, Bo-hannon continues to collect accolades, earning the AFCA FCS National Coach of the Year fol-lowing the 2017 season and earned AFCA District Coach of the Year after the 2018 campaign to go along with back-to-back Big South Conference Coach of the Year honors.

Bohannon, 47, put Kennesaw State on the map in 2017 when he led the Owls to a 12-2 season and an outright Big South Championship after finish-ing conference play undefeated at 5-0. Holding the country’s top rushing offense, the Owls would make their first postseason berth in stellar fashion, getting revenge from their season-opening loss to Samford by winning 28-17 to advance.

The Owls then upset No. 3 Jacksonville State in the second round by scoring 14 unanswered sec-ond-half points to win 17-7. KSU’s historic run would falter in the quarterfinals in a tough 34-27 loss to No. 5 Sam Houston State, but not before solidifying a young Kennesaw State team as one of the nation’s top programs, earning him 2017 Big South Coach of the Year and AFCA FCS National Coach of the Year honors.

After being named Kennesaw State’s coach on March 24, 2013, it took Bohannon just two seasons to vie for a Big South Conference title and reach the Top 25 as the Owls finished their debut year 6-5 before posting an 8-3 mark in 2016.

A four-year letterwinner and standout wide re-ceiver at Georgia, Bohannon started his coaching career at West Georgia before earning his first full-time position at Gardner-Webb (N.C.) as wide receivers coach in 1996.

Bohannon earned his bachelor’s degree in general business from Georgia in 1993 and a master’s in business education from West Georgia in 1996.

Residing in Woodstock, Ga., Bohannon is married to the former Melanie Cobb. The two have three children, sons Blake and Braden, and daughter Brooke Anna.

• The Owls rank No. 1 in the nation in passing yards per completion, averaging 24.57 yards per completion, while ranking No. 2 in the country in rushing yards per game at 342.5.

• Kennesaw State leads the Big South Conference in 16 team statistical categories, including scoring offense at 41.0 points per game and scoring defense at just 13.0 points per contest.

• KSU is one of five teams in the country to rank in the top 15 in the nation in scoring offense and scoring defense, ranking No. 6 on defense and No. 15 on offense.

OWL STRONG

• In just four years of existence, Kennesaw State and head coach Brian Bohannon have three all-time playoff wins -- the second-most by both a league member and head coach. Former member Coastal Carolina and its head coach, Joe Moglia, own the record of four playoff victories.

• Bohannon is seventh in Big South history with 38 career coaching wins, and became the second-fastest Big South coach to win 35 games when he reached the benchmark with KSU’s 51-14 Big South championship win over Monmouth on Nov. 10, 2018 - just his 46th career game on the sideline.

BEST IN BIG SOUTH

• Sophomore kicker Nathan Robertson is the only kicker at the FCS level to connect on 10-plus extra points and make four field goals this year. He ranks third in the country among kickers with 11.0 points per game.

• He also handles kickoff duties and has recorded one touchback on 14 tries.

SPLITTIN’ THE UPRIGHTS

• The Owls return just one starter on the offensive side of the ball after losing the Walter Payton Award runner-up at quarterback, and NFL free agent signees at running back and wide receiver.

• The Owls return just 29.3 percent of their scoring from a year ago, the fewest of any team in the Big South.

• Junior running back Shaquil Terry is the only returning starter on offense after rushing for 576 yards on 78 carries and six total touchdowns in 2018. So far through two games, he ranks second on the team with 101 rushing yards.

• Kennesaw State finished the 2018 season as the No. 2 rushing attack in all of Division I FBS and FCS football, averaging 352.9 yards per game on the ground.

RELOAD NOT REBUILD

• The Owls won 37 games in their first four years of existence, the second-most by a start-up program and only behind Old Dominion (38).

• KSU’s three FCS Playoff wins in the last two seasons are more postseason victories than all other current Big South schools combined.

• KSU is the only team in its first four years to put together two separate 10-game winning streaks.

• The Owls were 22-4 at home in its first four four years, including winning 13-straight regular season games at home.

• KSU is joined by Alabama and UCF as the only Division I football teams with 10-game winning streaks in each of the last two years.

• KSU has already won the Jerry Rice Award (Bryson Armstrong) and finished runner-up for the Walter Payton Award (Chandler Burks) and the Eddie Robinson Award (Brian Bohannon).

IN JUST FOUR YEARS

• The Owls have had no trouble scoring so far this year, averaging 41 points per contest. The figure ranks 15th in the FCS and first in the Big South.

Rk Team PPG1. Kennesaw State 41.02. Hampton 41.03. Campbell 26.04. Gardner-Webb 18.55. Monmouth 18.5

• The Owls have scored at least 35 points in seven of their last eight regular season games, including five outings of 50-plus.

POINTS O’PLENTY

• Kennesaw State has won 10 straight Big South games after finishing 5-0 in conference play in 2017 and 2018. With another conference sweep, the Owls would tie the Big South record of consecutive league wins with 16.

• Kennesaw State is one of just seven programs in the FCS that have blocked a kick on defense and has not allowed a blocked kick on offense.

• The Owls have not allowed a blocked field goal or punt since Aug. 31, 2017, against Samford.

• Kennesaw State rushed for seven touchdowns in three different contests last season, the only team in the nation to accomplish the feat. Before last season, the program record for rushing touchdowns in a single contest was six.

MOST RUSHING TOUCHDOWNS No. Opponent Date1. 7 at Monmouth Nov. 10, 2018 7 at Gardner-Webb Oct. 13, 2018 7 at Tennessee Tech Sept. 6, 20184. 6 10 times

• The Owls rushed for five rushing scores against Point University in the season-opener but just two against against Kent State.

• Quarterback Daniel David has rush for a pair of scores in each of the last two games.

• Diverse with their rushing attack, the Owls have had 16 different ballcarriers in 2019 so far and have 14 with more than a single carry.

GROUND ATTACK

GIMME THAT • Senior defensive back Dorian Walker is tied for first in the nation with two fumble recoveries, both coming last week on muffed punts against Alabama State.

• The Owls have forced an opponent turnover in five-straight games, dating back to Jacksonville State on Nov. 17, 2018.

FEAR THE OWL• Ever since coming getting to campus, Bryson Armstrong has been nearly unstoppable. After winning the Jerry Rice Award for the nation’s best freshman in 2017, he was awarded a spot on the All-Big South First Team list last season.

• Coming into the 2019 season, Armstrong is the program leader in sacks after just two years of play.

CAREER Player Years Sacks1. Bryson Armstrong 2017-pres. 13.52. Anthony Gore 2015-18 10.0 Desmond Johnson, Jr. 2015-pres. 10.04. Izzy Sam 2015-17 9.05. Dez Billingslea 2015-16 7.0

• Tied for second on the program’s all-time sack list is Desmond Johnson Jr., who has made an impact each season in an Owl uniform.

• If selected for the First Team All-Big South team this season, Johnson Jr. will be just the fourth player to be named to the First Team for four-straight seasons joining Demario Deese (GWU, 2005-2008), Mike Basile (Monmouth, 2014-17) and Solomon Brown (Charleston Southern, 2015-2018).

DON’T BLINK• In the season opener, the Owls recorded three touchdown drives of less than 60 seconds, including a one-play nine-second drive that resulted in a 34-yard TD pass from Daniel David to Shaquil Terry. • In the last 14 games dating back to last year, Kennesaw State has 18 scoring drives under 60 seconds. • In the last three seasons, KSU has 19 one-play scoring drives.

• To qualify for yards per rush in the NCAA, a student-athlete must have 10 rushes per game.

• Junior running back Shaquil Terry has recorded just eight attempts on the year, but currently averages 12.6 yards per rush.

• With this figure, he would lead the country by more than 2 yards per carry, with the nation’s leader averaging 10.05.

KENNESAW, Ga.- All facets of the Kennesaw State football team clicked against Point University Saturday evening, as the Owls rolled to a 59-0 victory over the Skyhawks. The Owls’ offense converted through the air and on the ground, as quarterback Daniel David rushed for two scores and threw for two more. After a one-yard touchdown run from David, Bronson Rechsteiner took advantage of a gaping hole on the left side and sprinted 36 yards to put the Owls in front 14-0. On the ensuing possession, Shaquil Terry scampered 44 yards for the Owls third rushing touchdown of the evening. Kennesaw State’s offense continued to roll and at the 1:11 mark in the first quarter, David found K.J. Hancock over the middle to push the edge to 28-0. The Owls added two more scores in the second quarter and held a 42-0 advantage at the break. Tommy Bryant added two more scores himself in the second half, rushing for one while finding T.J. Reed on a wheel route for another. A Nathan Robertson field goal with 7:24 to play capped off the Owls scoring. The Owls defense was spectacular the entire night, allowing just 129 yards of total offense. Junior linebacker Kareem Taylor led the defense with five tackles and a sack, while Jeremy Dees, Demetric Barnes and Joel Parker each recorded a sack. As a team, the Owls surrendered just 37 rushing yards and 92 passing yards. The defense allowed just 4-of-16 third down attempts and a miniscule 2.3 yards per play. The Owls look to win their first Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) game at Kent State on Sept. 7. Kickoff is slated for noon in Kent, Ohio.

KENT, OHIO- In a grind-it-out game in which the Owls controlled the ball for 39 minutes, Kennesaw State fell 26-23 in overtime to Kent State. After deferring the toss, the Kennesaw State defense stood strong on the first possession and forced a Golden Flash punt. Daniel David led a field-goal drive on the first possession for the Owls and the Kennesaw State found themselves on top 3-0 with 8:15 to play after Nathan Robertson knocked through a 33-yard field goal. On the ensuing Kent State possession, the Golden Flashes tied the ball game after a 32-yard field goal. The Owls answered with their second field goal that was set up by a 34-yard reception by Bronson Rechsteiner. Robertson hit a 21-yard field goal at the 11:58 mark in the second quarter to give the Owls the lead. The Owls third drive of the day stalled, but was kept alive after recovering a muffed Kent State punt. Daniel David found Isaac Foster streaking down the middle of the field for 32 yards on the next play. Following the reception, David found paydirt from two yards out and put the Owls on top, 13-3 midway through the second quarter. Kent State answered with a 23-yard quarterback scramble to pull within three points with under five minutes in the first half. The Owls capped off a nine-play 50-yard drive with a 32-yard field goal and took a 16-10 lead at the break. The Owls had a chance to put up points on the first possession of the second half after recovering a second muffed punt, but Daniel David threw his first interception of the season and the Golden Flashes took over at their 20-yard line. Kent State took the 17-16 lead with 9:26 in the third quarter after converting a third-and-sixteen with a 75-yard touchdown pass down the sideline. Kennesaw State looked like it was going to answer again- and thought it did- but a 43-yard rushing touchdown was called back on a holding penalty. The KSU defense forced another three-and-out before the KSU offense converted a fourth down opportunity to push the ball into Kent State territory. On the fourth down play, David rolled out to his right and found K.J. Hancock down the right sideline who made a one-of-a-kind grab to keep the drive alive. The Owls had their second touchdown of the day called back on the drive and couldn’t pick up points after a missed field goal with 10:14 to play in the contest. Kent State took a 20-16 lead at the 7:52 mark, but Kennesaw State answered the call and manufactured a 14-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 4-yard rushing touchdown from Daniel David to give the Owls the three-point advantage. On final drive of the fourth quarter, the Golden Flashes drove the ball 49 yards and made a field goal to force the game into overtime at 23-23. On its first possession of overtime, the Owls lost control of the football and turned it over, which gave the ball to the Golden Flashes. Kent State drove home a 43-yard field goal to capture the victory.
