\u201cEverybody is feeling better, and I\u2019m happy for it because I didn\u2019t even know what is going on,\u201d Kittley said. <\/p>\n

Kittley also highlighted the challenges of playing on the road and the importance of performing well away from home. <\/p>\n

\u201cGreat teams travel, don\u2019t just play well at home, have to take a long trip to Monroe, Louisiana, and sit around all day for a 7 p.m. central kick,\u201d Kittley said. <\/p>\n

The Owls, who are double-digit favorites, will kick off at 8 p.m. Eastern.<\/p>\n
