KENT, Ohio — Where did it go wrong for Bowling Green on Saturday at Kent State?
Take your pick — there were plenty of options.
The Falcons allowed 21 points in the first 12 minutes, squandered most of their offensive possessions with mistakes of every variety, ran for 45 yards in the first three quarters against what had been the worst run defense in college football, and had no rebuttal in the second half as the Flashes coasted to a 62-20 victory at Dix Stadium.
Kent State, which won fewer games than anyone in the Mid-American Conference during the past five years, scored its most points against Bowling Green in the 99-year history of the rivalry and set a program record with a staggering 750 yards of total offense.
