Dual-threat quarterback.
Two words that strike fear into the hearts of college football defenses across the country.
Kent State is no different.
The Flashes (1-4, 0-1 Mid-American Conference) are 1-3 against dual-threat quarterbacks so far this season. Ball State’s Riley Neal had 402 passing yards and 61 rushing yards and five total touchdowns en route to a 52-24 blowout win last Saturday.
The game was eerily similar to their early-season matchup against Penn State's Heisman hopeful Trace McSorley. He was a problem through the air and on the ground, combining for five total touchdowns.
The Flashes will face a similar challenge this week against Ohio (2-2, 0-0 MAC).
