Junior quarterback Dustin Crum threw for 310 yards, more than any Kent State quarterback since 2014, and the Kent State offense finished with a school-record 750 total yards.
Crum finished with three touchdowns, while completing 26-of-31 throws. It was the first 300-yard performance since 2014 when Colin Reardon threw for 360 yards in a 39-17 win against Army.
“I just tried to take advantage of their coverage with RPO (run-pass option) and all that new fancy stuff,” Crum said. “Our receivers did a great job today with run after catch so that helped a lot.
