Kent State opens their season this afternoon against the Clemson Tigers, defending national champions. The game will serve as a proving ground for the Flashes, who hope to find some momentum to carry into their home opener next week.

The following thread will be updates from the game, as well as insight from Henry Palattella, the sports editor for KentWired.
