Flashes outlast Bison in home opener
A group of Kent players kneel and pray before the home opener against Howard on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2017.After Kent State’s week one loss at Clemson, the Flashes were determined to play with a chip on their shoulder.
The only obstacle that stood in their way was the Howard Bison, a team that perhaps pulled off one of the biggest upsets in college football history last week.
The stands were filled with blue and gold as the Flashes hosted the Bison in the home opener at Dix Stadium.
The Flashes got off to a fast start when quarterback Nick Holley ran for a 38-yard touchdown on Kent State’s first play from scrimmage.
