Game-day research
Flashes at Falcons preview: what our research says
Kent State enters tonight at 2-6. Its home record is 2-1, but the Flashes are 0-5 on the road. Their 35-20 win over Akron was followed by a 10-31 loss at Sacramento State. Five turnovers marked that latest defeat. The season also includes a 10-13 home loss to Ohio and a 26-13 home win over Ball State.
Dru DeShields remains the starting quarterback, with Nolan Good behind him. Against Akron, DeShields threw four touchdown passes and ran for another score. Wayne Harris caught nine passes for 156 yards and three touchdowns in that win. The running-back chart lists Brandon White, Jakorion Caffey and Mason King together. The defensive chart lists Rocco Nicholl and Hayden Dawahare at linebacker, with DJ Barnes at nickel.
Mark Carney returns to Bowling Green, where he coached from 2009 to 2013. Availability remains unsettled because tonight’s official report is pending. King, Terik Mulder and Tyler Meadows were out in Kent State’s previous report. Bowling Green also carries unresolved absences from its previous game, and Austin Clay is out for the season. The listed starters remain projections, not an announced lineup.
