Through 3 Quarters
A great path to victory is to simply outgain your opponent on the field, and that's working so far for the Kent State Golden Flashes (with 528 yards vs. 186 yards). After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Bowling Green Falcons as the Golden Flashes lead 48-10.
Kent State has been riding high on the performance of QB Dustin Crum, who has passed for four TDs and 271 yards on 27 attempts. Bowling Green's only offensive touchdown has come on a rush from QB Matt McDonald.

What to Know
The Bowling Green Falcons are staring down a pretty large 20.5-point disadvantage in the spread for Tuesday's matchup. Bowling Green and the Kent State Golden Flashes will face off in a Mid-American battle at 7:30 p.m. ET Tuesday at Doyt L. Perry Stadium. Kent State should still be riding high after a victory, while the Falcons will be looking to right the ship.
Bowling Green had to start their season on the road on Wednesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They were completely outmatched by the Toledo Rockets and fell 38-3. Bowling Green was down 28-3 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Meanwhile, Kent State gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Wednesday. They managed a 27-23 win over the Eastern Michigan Eagles.
The Falcons took a serious blow against the Golden Flashes when the two teams previously met in September of last year, falling 62-20. Maybe Bowling Green will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
