Kent State's dream season ends Sunday night in the GoDaddy Bowl.
Dri Archer has a little more than a week to make a decision on whether it's his last game as a college player.

Video: Kent State returns punt wrong direction, is awesome
Shut it down. We can all go home. Kent State linebacker Andre Parker just became a star, and not for the right reasons. Actually, it depends how you look at it. Because in our eyes he’s a star, period. A punt grazed a Towson player and Parker grabbed the ball and headed for the end [...]

Take for instance what occurred in the play seen above. Kent State was punting to Towson, and the ball touched the returner, making it live. Kent State’s Andre Parker recovered the ball at the six-yard line...

Kent State, other mid-majors making splash
Kent State, St. John's and Stony Brook are heading to the NCAA super regionals, and casual fans who follow college baseball only in June must be asking, "Who are these guys?"
