This year's edition of triple-option Highlander should be a good one. Both teams run well and stop the run well, so it should come down to turnovers, passing, special teams, and home field. Kennesaw has the advantage in all of those areas.
Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:
Quarterbacks -- Kennesaw St.
Running Backs - Wofford
Receivers/TEs - Wofford
Offensive Line - Wofford
Defensive Line - Kennesaw St.
Linebackers --- Wofford
Secondary ---- (push)
Kicking ------ Kennesaw St.
Punting ------ Kennesaw St.
Return Teams - Kennesaw St.
Kickoffs ------ Kennesaw St.
Wofford 21-31 Kennesaw St.

I would say that the passing game is going to be the X-factor here which would have benefited KSU, but I heard somewhere that it might rain during the game? If so defense and limiting turnovers will likely be key. I like Kennesaw, but I think Wofford has a legitimate shot at the upset.

The current forecast is ≈60º with a 100% chance of rain. Wofford has been slightly less fumble prone than Kennesaw this season, but Kennesaw has been noticeably better at forcing fumbles.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wofford curbstomped Kennesaw. The Big South doesn't have anything decent with CCU and Liberty gone. The 4 seed is an absolute joke for an FCSINO....
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Um… you do know Kennesaw was in the quarterfinals last year, right?
2R - Wofford @ (4) Kennesaw St.
