Penn State and Kent State met just two seasons ago, the same year the Nittany Lions qualified for the Rose Bowl and claimed a Big Ten championship. The score? 33-13.
Kent State only trailed 16-13 heading into halftime, before a third quarter pick-six derailed its improbable upset bid in Happy Valley. That afternoon, September 3, 2016, was one of the Golden Flashes’ highest points in the past two seasons, perfectly coinciding with the lowest of Penn State’s moments in the given time span.
Most people remember the game by this play:
Now, the two meet again at Beaver Stadium to usher in Week 3 of the 2018 season.
