Collins, Murrell lead Kennesaw State's offensive eruption in 47-0 win over West Georgia
It was Kennesaw State's first shutout since a 14-0 win at home against North Carolina on Oct. 16, 2021.

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.
