2022 MAC Football Week 5 Game Recap: Kent State Golden Flashes 31, Ohio Bobcats 24 (OT)

This is college football.

A tougher, grittier, more physical battle you will rarely see, as both sides put it all on the line to get the win in a game where you hated to see either side lose.

In the end, Kent State (2-3, 1-0 MAC East) rallied from multiple fourth-quarter deficits on the heroics of WR Dante Cephas to beat the visiting Ohio Bobcats (2-3, 0-1 MAC East) in overtime for the Homecoming win on Saturday evening.

Spearheaded by Cephas and RB Marquez Cooper, Kent State amassed an incredible 736 yards offense on the night.
