Kamden Sixkiller throws for 330 yards and 2 touchdowns as Campbell beats Western Carolina 28-19
Campbell is off to its first 2-0 start since 2018 after securing the program's second victory over an FCS top 25 opponent. WCU entered ranked No. 24 in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 poll after beating Eastern Kentucky on Aug. 29.
Campbell scored a touchdown on its first two drives before taking a 21-3 lead early in the second quarter on a 1-yard run by Ethan Lawrence that was set up by a 43-yard strike from Sixkiller to Brady Ambrose. Sixkiller also found Ambrose for a 6-yard TD to cap a 10-play, 91-yard drive to start the game, and Sixkiller scored on an 8-yard run for a 14-0 lead.
Sixkiller finished 29-of-44 passing with three interceptions for Campbell. JJ Cowan had a team-high 83 yards on the ground. The Camels posted 528 yards of total offense for their second straight game with 500-plus.
Lex Thomas was 25-of-44 passing for 326 yards and two touchdowns for Western Carolina (1-1). Both of Jai Boyd's catches were for touchdowns.
WCU was held to 1-yard rushing — the second fewest allowed in Campbell's program history. The Catamounts were also 2 of 13 on third down.
The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, when it was delayed over two hours due to lightning in the area. Then an electrical issue caused one of the stadium’s four main light banks to malfunction and force the postponement.
Campbell: At Florida on Saturday.
