Dix Stadium plays host to a matchup between MAC East opponents that desperately need another notch in the win column.
Kent State (1-6, 0-3 MAC) remains on a quest for its first FBS win in Kenni Burns’ inaugural season at the helm. The Golden Flashes endured a difficult schedule up to this point, and this will be the only sub-.500 opponent they’ve faced so far besides Arkansas. It’s only the third home game of the Burns era as well, and Kent State owns a 1-1 record in its natural habitat this season. Last week was the Golden Flashes’ closest call against an FBS opponent this season and perhaps that momentum can be leveraged into something greater this Saturday.
