The Wagon Wheel will stay in Kent, Ohio, but the question of its destination was up in the air until the start of the second half, as the Kent State Golden Flashes (3-0) ran over, through and around the Akron Zips (0-3) en route to a 69-35 victory on their home turf.
The win is Kent State’s seventh-consecutive victory dating back to 2019, and is their second-straight Wagon Wheel rivalry win. In the win, the Flashes tied a school record for most points scored in a game, and finished the day with 750 yards of total offense.
