Hope has officially been breathed back into the Kent State football season. With the change at quarterback a week ago to Nick Holley, Kent State has now shown the ability to pick up big chunks of yards and also sustain drives.
The tenor of this game was set early in the first quarter when a combination of poor officiating and opportunistic Kent State offensive play led to an early lead. On the first scoring drive of the game, Buffalo appeared to have tackled Nick Holley, yet the whistle didn’t sound and 65 yards later Kent State was set up in fantastic field position.
