Two Conference USA games ended with very different kinds of kicking pressure Wednesday. Missouri State needed Yousef Obeid’s last-play field goal to beat Kennesaw State 24-21. Western Kentucky gave Karl Campbell a lead early and used his three field goals to finish a 16-3 win at Sam Houston.
Both winners moved forward in conference play: Missouri State is 1-1 in CUSA, while WKU is 2-1. Kennesaw State and Sam Houston are both 0-2 after Wednesday’s losses.
Missouri State finishes with the ball
Read the full Missouri State–Kennesaw State recap.
The Bears and Owls traded second-half leads before a 1-yard Boogie Woods touchdown tied the game at 21 with 6:06 remaining. Missouri State then kept possession through the final whistle. Henry Belin IV led the winning drive, with Isaiah Myers providing a 32-yard reception before Obeid delivered the deciding kick.
Belin finished with 300 passing yards and two touchdowns, both to Myers. Myers and Kennesaw State’s Dylan Gary each finished with 135 receiving yards, but the Bears’ control of the final possession separated two productive passing performances.
Conference USA’s official highlights show Missouri State’s late finish and the scores that made the last possession necessary.
