Why to Watch: Kent State can’t take it as easy as it might like to against a Delaware State team that just entered the national FCS rankings after a nice 2-0 start. The defense has been nice against Coastal Carolina and Florida A&M, and now the program is looking for one of its biggest wins in years. Kent State is coming off a 56-20 drubbing at Kentucky and desperately needs this win with road dates against Akron and Ohio coming up. Call this a litmus test game for the Golden Flashes. If this is really a team good enough to battle for the MAC title, it should win a game like this without breathing hard.
Why Delaware State Might Win: Kent State is as one dimensional as it gets, running the ball as well as anyone in the country, but failing to get much going through the air. DSU can spend all its prep time worrying about one thing, and while the defensive front isn’t anything special, it’s quick. The big key to pulling off the upset is if KSU starts turning the ball over. With seven giveaways in two weeks, the Golden Flashes haven’t been good when it comes to ball security.
Why Kent Might Win: There isn’t any one thing Delaware State does really well. It doesn’t have a high powered offense, it’s not particularly great at generating pressure, and the special teams aren’t anything to get too fired up about. Kent State shouldn’t have to do anything out of the ordinary to come up with the easy win.
Who to Watch: Eventually, a wide receiver has to emerge for the Golden Flashes So far, the passing game as revolved around Eugene Jarvis and Tom Sitko, while no one has stretched the field enough to make any defense blink. That has to change this week. You schedule a Delaware State to work on what you need to, and this week, Shawn Bayes and Phil Garner have to become dangerous targets.
What Will Happen: Kent State will run for 300 yards on the way to a walk in the park win.
CFN Prediction: Kent State 38 … Delaware State 13 ... Line: No Line
