It will all be to play for when the Kent State Golden Flashes (7-5, 5-3 MAC) and Northern Illinois Huskies (8-4, 6-2 MAC) meet up at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, to compete for the 25th edition of the Mid-American Conference Football Championship Game.
Kent State, the MAC East divisional champion, comes into matchup fresh off a wild game at home against Miami, where they had to hold off a RedHawks rally in overtime in order to clinch the division in a de facto title game to secure their ticket to Detroit. It’s their second appearance, and their first since 2012.
