Kent State Rides Momentum, Sets Sights on Undefeated Eastern Michigan

Kent, OH — The Kent State Golden Flashes, under the leadership of Head Coach David Brackett, continued their strong run in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) with a decisive 37-14 victory over the Miami (OH) RedHawks. With this win, Kent State has now won four of its last five games and five of its last seven, showcasing a late-season resurgence that has fans excited for what lies ahead.

The Golden Flashes were dominant against Miami, delivering a balanced performance on both sides of the ball. Kent State’s defense held Miami to just 192 total yards, while the offense racked up 352 yards, including 217 through the air. It was a performance that underscored the team’s growth over the season and their potential as they approach the critical game against Eastern Michigan.

"Look, it feels good to have some momentum and be playing good ball down the stretch," Coach Brackett said after the game. "We are a senior-led team, and our seniors have stepped up a lot this season. We realistically feel like we're two or maybe three plays away from being 7-3 and 6-1 in conference play right now."

The upcoming matchup against Eastern Michigan, a team that boasts a perfect 9-0 record, is set to be a high-stakes showdown. The Eagles have dominated the MAC this season and are well-coached and talented. However, the Golden Flashes are eager for the challenge.

"Eastern is a really well-coached, talented team, and we are excited to get a shot at them at home," Brackett added. "This is why you come to Kent State."

With the Golden Flashes building momentum and confidence, the game against Eastern Michigan promises to be a thrilling encounter. A win could catapult Kent State further up the standings, making this one of the most anticipated matchups of the season.
