Our Q&A with Flash Fanatics:

GH: Who wins and why?

DB: Kent State has a chance, but things would have to fall perfectly in line. If Kent State can have long sustained drives, win the battle of field position, win the turnover battle, and excel on special teams, then maybe we could put a scare into the Gophers. Sadly, other than when KSU lines up to punt, our special teams are not so special. While KSU has some capable runners to help grind out drives, Colin Reardon (QB) hasn’t proven reliable on a consistent basis and therefore doesn’t instill a lot of confidence that he can lead The Flashes into Big Ten country and walk out with a win. The truth is, Minnesota is going to be bigger, stronger, and probably better coached, therefore making it unrealistic to expect a Kent State upset.

GH: What is your Kent State at Minnesota score prediction?

DB: 51-10 Minnesota.

CFN:

What’s Going To Happen?

Kent State will be plucky, but the offense won’t go anywhere. The Gophers will come up with two key takeaways, score off both of them, and put the game away in the first half.
