Kennesaw State tops Liberty 48-42 in double OT, will play for Conference USA championship

LYNCHBURG, Va. -- , Amari Odom threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Christian Moss on the first play of a second overtime and Kennesaw State's defense did the rest in a 48-42 victory over Liberty on Saturday in a regular-season finale. Odom misfired on the mandatory two-point conversion for the Owls (9-3, 7-1), who found out at halftime they'd be playing in the Conference USA title game after Western Kentucky lost 37-34 to regular-season champion Jacksonville State. But it didn't matter. Baron Hopson tackled Evan Dickens for a 1-yard loss on first down. Tywon Christopher held Dickens to a yard on his second carry and then teamed up with Elijah Hill for a sack. Michael Merdinger threw incomplete to end it. Odom completed 14 of 23 passes for 240 yards and four touchdowns. He had a 12-yard touchdown pass to Gabriel Benyard in the first quarter and a 25-yarder on first down in the first OT.
