Campbell overcomes Western Carolina 28-19 in postponed football match
Summary

Campbell defeated Western Carolina 28-19 in a game finished on Sunday following a weather-related delay. The contest, originally scheduled for Saturday in Buies Creek, North Carolina, was postponed after a lightning delay and an electrical issue involving stadium lights. Kamden Sixkiller led the Campbell offense with 330 passing yards and two touchdowns, while Spencer Jones recorded a career-high 126 receiving yards. Despite three interceptions from Sixkiller, the Camels maintained control throughout, moving to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2018. Western Carolina quarterback Lex Thomas threw for 326 yards and two touchdowns in the loss, but the team struggled to establish a run game, finishing with only one yard on the ground. Campbell now prepares to face Florida next Saturday, while Western Carolina travels to play Cincinnati.
