Kent State not facing adversity well
There is some good news about the Golden Flashes, but it has nothing to do with how they are playing.
Kent State's next two games are against Toledo and Northern Illinois, the two worst teams in the Mid-American Conference. That's the lone positive for the Golden Flashes, who have not only lost their last two games, but have done so in embarrassing fashion.

Kent State had lost six of its first seven games and was 0-3 in the Mid-American Conference. The offense was struggling, the line couldn't protect the quarterback or generate a running game.
