A strong defense and timely offense helped Kent State take an early lead, but Wyoming's rushing attack was too much as the Cowboys pulled away 52-38 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl played Dec. 21 in Boise. For Kent State (7-7), this was the team's second bowl appearance in three seasons, having earned the university's first-ever bowl win in 2019 at the Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl played in Frisco, Texas. Kent State's first touchdown came on the team's second drive of the first quarter when Quarterback Dustin Crum found Wide Receiver Dante Cephas for a Potato Bowl r...

Coach Lew meet Coach Lou. Kent State Head Coach Sean Lewis, known as "Coach Lew" in football circles, got a moment to meet and hear from the other 'Coach Lou' with Kent State roots -- famed college football coach Lou Holtz. Before Holtz rose to fame as a college head coach, he earned a degree in history from Kent State, graduating in 1959. A day ahead of their bowl appearance on national TV, the Golden Flashes heard from someone who knows exactly what it's like to be part of the blue and gold family. Holtz served as the guest speaker at the Fellow of Christian Athle...

The faculty, staff and students of 黑料网 at Ashtabula wish you a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year! ...
They had planned to wear caps and gowns with their peers and to hear their names called during commencement at the MAC Center. However, the Kent State Golden Flashes' acceptance of a bowl bid out of state quickly derailed that plan. While they couldn't be in two places at once, especially considering Boise, Idaho, is more than 2,000 miles from Kent, these graduates still got their moment to shine. In all, 11 students -- six football players and five student workers -- were honored with a special ceremony Dec. 19 to receive their diplomas from Provost Melody Tankersl...
At 5'9", Isaac Vance doesn't immediately stand out next to his Kent State football teammates, but his big heart and care for others clearly make him one of the tallest on the team. Vance, a senior wide receiver, was surprised Dec. 17 as the Humanitarian Award winner ahead of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. The award is given annually to a player from each team for exemplary community service and leadership efforts. With an infectious smile and overwhelming positivity, it's easy to see why Vance stands out as a person who cares deeply about helping others. A two-time Academic All-MAC reci...
