Sophomore quarterback Woody Barrett took off for what appeared to be an easy first down during the first play of the fourth quarter during their conference-opening matchup against Ball State, but was brought down on a shoestring tackle a few yards shy.
That summarizes Kent State (1-4, 0-1 Mid-American Conference) performance.
A plethora of “almost” or “should have” plays.
The Flashes had 17 penalties for 142 yards, with many of them negating positive plays that would have shifted momentum.
The offense, led by Barrett, gave Ball State’s (2-3, 1-0 MAC) defense fits with the RPO (run-pass option).
