Kent State led the country in scoring in 2020 by amassing 49.8 points per game in a 4-game schedule, exclusively against MAC competition. But when traveling to College Station in 2021 to challenge the No. 6 team in the land, the results from last fall couldn’t feel more distant.
Texas A&M clamped up Kent State’s typical scoring output in a 41-10, wire-to-wire victory Saturday night in College Station. Housed in a raucous environment of over 97,000 fans, the Golden Flashes’ electrifying offense from 2020 was severely out-gained 595-336 to open the new 2021 campaign.
Despite the lack of scoring output, the Golden Flashes’ offense strung together solid drive after solid drive to open the night.
