Kent State’s non-conference schedule can best be described as a treacherous grind. The Golden Flashes completed the first leg of their three September road trips and now round two awaits. After taking a 25-point loss in Seattle to Washington, Kent State travels to the plains to battle Brent Venables’ No. 7 Oklahoma squad.
Vegas odds and recent history suggests this is a long-shot for Kent State, which remains in search of its first regular season non-conference win over an FBS team since 2014. Still, Sean Lewis hopes the tempo of his Flash Fast offense can take the Sooners by surprise to rebound from an underwhelming opener in Seattle.
