Coming off a discouraging blowout loss to Ohio 48-3, the Flashes hoped to get back on track against a one-win Bowling Green team.
Quarterback George Bollas led the Kent State offense as he rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown.
“I think George did a really good job today of running the football,” coach Paul Haynes said. “We just couldn’t sustain drives enough to allow ourselves to put points on the board, but I think he played a pretty good game individually.”
Bowling Green took the lead early with a dominant 75-yard drive in under three minutes.
