Week 6 Football Preview: Kent State Golden Flashes at NIU Huskies

The Kent State Golden Flashes will travel to DeKalb this week to face the Northern Illinois Huskies as NIU returns for homecoming after two road games and a BYE week.

Kent State (1-4, 0-1 MAC) is coming off 27-13 loss to Buffalo, and has really struggled to put up points against opponents. They’ve scored more than 14 points just once all season, a 38-31 win against FCS foe Howard.

The Huskies (2-2, 0-0 MAC) kick off their MAC season this weekend after a very solid showing in their non-conference games. NIU’s offense has moved the ball rather well lately and their defense has been outstanding, which is not good news for the Flashes.
