This position group was the difference between Kent State punching a ticket to Detroit for the MAC Championship Game and spending the first week of December at home.
On a chilly day in Kent, OH, Miami (OH) quarterback Brett Gabbert launched a deep ball down the sideline and wide receiver Jalen Walker made a mid-air adjustment to score a critical overtime touchdown. At that point, the RedHawks trailed 48-47 to Kent State, but they had no intentions on prolonging the shootout. Miami kept the offense on the field for the 2-point conversion and got its star receiver Jack Sorenson on an island against Golden Flashes cornerback Montre Miller.
