Thoughts from Kent State’s 33-27 Wagon Wheel win over Akron
One of the coolest and largest college football rivalry trophies was handed out this weekend in Northeast Ohio.
Akron and Kent State met at the Golden Flashes’ home base of Dix Stadium for their annual battle for the coveted Wagon Wheel. The wheel has become a fixture in Kent State’s facilities ever since the program hired head coach Sean Lewis in 2018. Lewis’ Flashes triumphed over Akron for the fourth time in the coach’s five seasons at the helm, extending their win streak to four — the longest Kent State win streak in the series in the last 40 years.
