Flashes Give #1Georgia a Run in 39-22 Setback
ATHENS, GA- Kent State closed the non-conference portion of its season on Saturday, giving the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs all they could handle in a 39-22 setback inside Sanford Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Flashes forced the Bulldogs' first three turnovers of the season and scored 22 points on a defense that came in tops in the FBS, allowing 3.3 points per game.
Kent State took a big punch early, one that saw Georgia score on the second play from scrimmage. They threw a counter-punch back when strong punch coverage forced a muffed punt that Bryce Sheppert recovered inside the Bulldog 30. The Flashes cashed in with the first of three field goals on the day, connecting from 45-yards out.
