the Knights vs. the Golden Flashes: Live updates, score, results, highlights, for Thursday's NCAA Football game

The Kent State Golden Flashes will hit the road to start their 2023 campaign against the UCF Knights. Kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. ET on August 31st at FBC Mortgage Stadium.

UCF were ranked ninth in the nation in rushing yards last season, having averaged 228.4 per game. Kent State did well in that department too, as they were ranked 22nd with an average of 202.8 per game.

Looking forward to Thursday, the game looks promising for UCF, as the team is favored by a full 35.5 points. They finished last season with an even 7-7 record against the spread.

UCF being the favorite bodes well given the team's 8-3 record as favorites last season. Betting on them to win was the most profitable play last year, as bettors who put $100 on that outcome in every game walked away with $764.47. Sadly, Kent State will open their season as the underdog, and the team was 1-4 as such last year.
