The Miami of Ohio RedHawks and the Kent State Golden Flashes are set to square off in a Mid American East battle at 2:30 p.m. ET on September 30th at Dix Stadium. Miami of Ohio is coming into the game hot, having won their last three games.
Last Saturday, Miami of Ohio humbled Delaware State with a 62-20 smackdown. With Miami of Ohio ahead 34-13 at the half, the contest was all but over already.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 38 points the game before, Kent State faltered in their contest on Saturday. They took a serious blow against Fresno State, falling 53-10. Kent State was in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 36-10.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, the Golden Flashes had trouble moving the ball and finished the game with only 231 total yards. They were smoked by their opponents in that department as Fresno State gained 513.
Miami of Ohio's win bumped their season record to 3-1 while Kent State's defeat dropped theirs to 1-3.
Looking forward to Saturday, Miami of Ohio is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 15 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they're covered the spread the last three times they've played.
Miami of Ohio came out on top in a nail-biter against Kent State in their previous matchup last October, sneaking past 27-24. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Kent State's Collin Schlee, who threw for 306 yards and three touchdowns. Now that he won't be playing on Saturday, will Miami of Ohio be able to walk away with two wins in a row? There's only one way to find out.
