There’s an old adage that says that football is a game of inches. It’s safe to say that Kent State senior safety Nate Holley would agree with that statement.
Holley – who came into Saturday’s game with some of the best tackling numbers in college football – missed tackling Miami University's running back Kenny Young by mere inches after he caught a bubble screen, out of the backfield, on the Redhawks last drive.
Young brushed off Holley’s near-tackle and took the pass 55 yards into the end zone, a score that gave the Redhawks an 18-14 lead with 1:34 left.
