The Kent State Golden Flashes fit the label as a ‘program on the rise’. After years of dwelling in the basement of college football, Sean Lewis has not only resurrected the program to respectability. He brought it to unforeseen heights. The Golden Flashes just strung together three straight .500+ seasons for the first time since 1972-74, and they complemented this run of success with a 2021 MAC Championship Game appearance and the program’s first-ever bowl victory in 2019.
After faring 7-7 a year ago, how can the Golden Flashes rise even higher? It starts with refining the front seven.
