Kent St. Golden Flashes
On November 8, Kent St. lost to the Bowling Green Falcons 6-4 at home in a conference matchup. Despite QB Tommy Ulatowski's valiant efforts, the Kent St. defense allowed 476 yards of total offence to their opponent and one player had over 100 yards both through the air and on the ground. QB Michael Alaimo and WR Chrishon McCray are both listed as questionable with lower-body injuries and have not been playing lately. Kent State suffered a disappointing sixth-straight loss in the form of a 6-4 defeat to the Bowling Green Falcons on November 8. QB Tommy Ulatowski, playing in his second career start, completed 23 passes for 284 yards and one touchdown, but the Golden Flashes defense allowed 100 yards in both rushing and receiving to one player. Despite the adversity and despite the injuries to key personnel, Head Coach Kenni Burns praised the character displayed by Ulatowski as he continued to fight despite the loss of a family member the previous night. With a winning record of 1-9 (2-7-1 against the spread), Kent State is currently ranked last among teams measured in terms of points scored per game and second-to-last in terms of yards per game, which is compounded by the 123rd ranked defense in terms of points conceded per game and the 99th ranked defense in terms of total yards conceded on average.
