Kent State drops to 0-2 after decisive 33-3 loss to Oklahoma

Kent State ran through the second leg of its grueling non-conference schedule Saturday, taking on Oklahoma under the lights in Norman, OK.

While the Golden Flashes’ showed an initial tease of an upset alert with a 3-0 lead in the final minute of the first quarter, that was all the tangible progress Kent State generated the entire night. Oklahoma found its groove in the final seconds of the opening quarter and amassed 33 unanswered points to close the contest, handing Kent State a 33-3 loss in the programs’ first ever meeting.

Last week at Washington, Kent State showed signs of promise on offense while the defense struggled in a 45-20 defeat.
