Holley earns weekly award for the second time

Two games into his quarterbacking career and junior Nick Holley is already rewriting the Kent State record books.

Holley was named Mid-American Conference (MAC) East Division Offensive Player of the Week for the second week in a row, becoming the first player to win such an honor since Larry Poole in 1973.

Holley rushed for 224 yards and four touchdowns in the Flashes' 44-20 blowout win against the University at Buffalo over the weekend. He became the first Flash to rush for 200 yards in a game since Dri Archer in 2012, and the first Flash to score four touchdowns in a game since Eugene Jarvis in 2008.
