KENT, Ohio – A pair of third-quarter touchdown passes by George Bollas and second-half shutout by the Kent State defense highlighted a second-half comeback as the Golden Flashes edged Miami for a 17-14 win on Homecoming at Dix Stadium.
"I love this team's resilience. I love their perseverance," said Kent State head coach Paul Haynes. "This was a big weekend for us with homecoming, and we had 20-some former captains come and talk to our guys at our annual captain's breakfast this morning."
Trailing 14-3 going into the break, Haynes challenged his players by reaching back to the morning's speeches.
