Oklahoma vs Kent State Game Preview

Why Kent State Will Win

The Golden Flashes have the offense to keep up.

The three turnovers hurt in the 45-20 loss to Washington, and there weren’t the bursts of explosion like there needed to be, but the attack has the upside to go fast and come up with points in chunks.

There’s a slight lookahead factor here with a trip to Nebraska coming up next for Oklahoma, and it’s going to be tested more defensively than it was in the 45-13 win over UTEP.

It was an easy win, but the secondary got dinked and dunked on a bit, the passing game was more about the big plays than the steady completions, and …

– CFN Expert Picks, Week 2

Why Oklahoma Will Win

Oklahoma’s offense will get to stretch its legs a little bit.

UTEP wasn’t able to put up much resistance in the first quarter, but that D will look like the 2000 Baltimore Ravens compared to what Kent State is bringing to Norman.

The Golden Flashes try. They have guys who can move, they’ll get behind the line once in a while, but defense is something just to pass the time before the offense can try to do all of its fun stuff.

New OU QB Dillon Gabriel was fine, the running game was great, and …

– Week 2 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

This should be over after a few drives.

Kent State will put some points on the board and make things a wee bit more interesting than UTEP did, but Oklahoma’s offense will be balanced, the big plays will be there, and if it wants to put a monster number on the board, it will.

It’ll hold up in the fourth quarter, but the backups will still generate gashing runs.

Washington vs Kent State Game Preview

Why Kent State Will Win

The offense is still going to go 100 miles per hour, it’s going to still be dangerous, and it’s going to keep on pressing even without a slew of the stars form the last few years.

The running backs are very quick and can break off yards in chunks. There’s no chance Kent State can power away on the Dawg defensive front, but it can spread the defense out, get into space, and make big things happen while keeping the D on its heels.

Collin Schlee has been around long enough be ready to handle the starting quarterback gig – he was behind Dustin Crum over the last few years – and he has a loaded receiving corps to work with.

However …

– Week 1 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Washington Will Win

Defense is optional at Kent State.

It was the worst in the MAC last season, it gave up more first downs than anyone in college football, and it can be moved on any way you want to try.

Washington’s offense is getting a reboot under new head coach Kalen DeBoer. Indiana transfer Michael Penix Jr. gets to bomb away in the attack, the running backs are there, and the offensive line that needs a little bit to get it all together is playing the exact right defensive front to warm up.

The defense has the linebackers to keep the FlashFast style of offense from busting off too many big plays. The secondary might be replacing NFL corners, but it should be okay, the line won’t give up anything between the hashmarks, and there won’t be any issues as long as the O doesn’t have a problem with …

– Week 1 Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Saturday

What’s Going To Happen

Turnovers. That’s the only thing that can keep this from getting ugly.

Kent State might not bring a defense, but it will attack and take the ball away in bunches. The idea is for the D to do just enough to the O can do what it does.

Washington will win on its power. Penix Jr. is experienced enough to play within the flow of the game and not force anything, and this will be a much, much different start to the season – the Huskies lost 13-7 to Montana to kick off last year.

MAC Preseason Predictions For Every Game: Preview 2022

MAC preseason predictions for every game, predicted order of finish, and lookahead to the 2022 season.

One thing is for sure – someone will come out of nowhere and become a player.

Northern Illinois went from worst-to-first last season, and it’ll be another team that screws up all of the predictions and projections this year as it all comes together for …

Akron? That would be the biggest shocker.

Bowling Green? That’s more likely, but still a big stretch.

That’s what makes the MAC so much fun – it’s unpredictable in some ways, but the stars still usually show up.

The problem is the uneven level of the divisions. Unlike other conferences, the MAC won’t go to a no-division format – at least not yet – and in the preseason predictions, the West is far, far stronger than the East.

Those are the breaks in the crazy league, and again, there’s always a team that rises up to make everything more interesting. Here are the 2022 predictions for every MAC game.

Kent State Golden Flashes Preview 2022

Now it’s time to see just how well this whole thing works.

The FlashFast style of offense under Sean Lewis has completely turned the program around, and it’s easy to point to the exact moment when it happened.

In 2019, poor old Kent State was chugging along to another awful losing year with a 3-6 record and Buffalo hammering away, and then came the stunning comeback for a Golden Flash win, then came the four game winning streak with a bowl victory, and then came the run of three straight years without a losing record for the first time since 1972 to 1974.

Bowl appearances aren’t normal at Kent State. They are now under Lewis.

However, last year’s team was loaded with veterans and firepower, the sixth-year senior factor played a big role, and it all led to an appearance in the MAC Championship and a trip to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

The Golden Flashes lost both games, and now they’re all but starting over in several areas.

But the high-powered offensive system should still be great, the defense at least has veterans – to be kind – and this should still be fun.

Kent State Golden Flashes Preview 2022: Offense

The O will still roll fast, score fast, work fast even with a whole lot of new parts to the machine. The Golden Flashes finished fourth in the nation in total offense averaging close to 500 yards per game. It has to do a better job of closing out drives with points, and time of possession is totally meaningless, but the No. 3 rushing attack in college football should be just fine because of …

The running backs – they’re great. The O found its twosome in Marques Cooper and Xavier Williams – two smallish quick backs – who combine for over 2,000 yards and 14 touchdowns. They’re the lightning, and 243-pound Bryan Bradford will bring the power for the harder yards.

The O line loses just about everyone, but there’s just enough talent back to build around. Jack Bailey is a versatile option on the inside, and there’s size, but this group is going to need a little work. The transfer portal is bringing in a few options.

Dustin Crum was everything. He was the one who ran it all, knew how to keep everything moving, and was ultra-efficient as an all-around playmaker. He’s done, and now it’s up to Collin Schlee to try cranking up the production in place of the guy who threw for close to 3,200 yards with 20 touchdowns and ran for over 700 yards with 12 scores.

The receiving corps is going to be great thanks to the return of all-star Dante Cephas. He’s the go-to guy, but he’s not alone with Ja’Shuan Poke and Devontez Walker two good prospects about to do a whole lot more.

And then there’s the …

Kent State Golden Flashes Preview 2022: Defense

The offense had to keep rocking and rolling to make up for all of the problems on the other side. The Kent State defense was the worst in the MAC, gave up more first downs than anyone in the country, and couldn’t generate any sort of pass rush or come up with third down stops. What it did do, though, was take the ball away.

The veterans are there on the defensive front. There’s size in 330-pound CJ West on the nose, and the big ends as least have the bulk and experience to potentially hold up better. Getting into the backfield more would be a huge plus.

The defensive back seven gets back leading tackler Dean Clark at safety – he didn’t make every play for the D, but it sure seemed like it – but the next seven tacklers off of last year’s defense are done. The linebacking corps isn’t totally staring over, but it’s close. There’s no size, but this will be a quick group.

Montre Miller is a solid all-around corner who led the team with four picks, but the rest of the secondary needs help with more of a pass rush. There’s help from the transfer portal at safety.

Georgia football 2022 schedule: Five game-times, TV networks set

A look at the five confirmed game-times and TV networks so far on Georgia’s schedule

Georgia football will look to defend its 2021 national championship this coming season, starting on Saturday, September 3 in Atlanta vs. the Oregon Ducks. That game-time and TV network was set last week, and this week the SEC announced the same for Georgia’s games against Florida, Samford, South Carolina and Kent State.

We now know when five of Georgia’s 12 regular season games will kickoff and which network they’ll be broadcasted on.

It’s the MAC. It’s the conference where worst-to-first is the norm, with 2020 winless Northern Illinois winning the MAC championship in 2021, everyone can beat anyone else, and Toledo will end up somewhere in the middle of it all.

It’s about as settled as the league has been in a long time with the strength still in the West, Buffalo about to be better in the East, and with Akron and Bowling Green still questionable.

Again, though, it’s the MAC. The Zips or Falcons could end up in Detroit in January playing for the title.

The rankings are based on how good the teams should be and not the final projected records. Keeping in mind that this all could/might/will change when we make the final calls in August …

The bowl moment everyone awaits: French fry bath

Wyoming’s Craig Bohl was doused with French fries

It is the highlight of the bowl season … for foodies.

The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl concludes with the winning coach getting bathed in French fries.

Wyoming Craig Bohl was the recipient Tuesday as his Cowboys outlasted Kent State, 52-38.

The least someone could have done was give him some Gatorade to wash it down.

The star of the game was Levi Williams.
