A trio of CMU defenders tackle junior quarterback Nick Holley, middle, during the game on Oct. 29 at Kelly / Shorts Stadium.
Following Saturday's last-second loss on a field goal as time expired, Central Michigan head football coach John Bonamego said his team didn't do anything well enough to win.
"I didn't think we played very well at all on either side of the ball," Bonamego said. "That responsibility falls on my shoulders. I will accept responsibility for the loss. I didn't have our guys ready to play."
CMU's offense had four turnovers and its defense was unable to contain Kent State quarterback Nick Holley as the Chippewas fell 27-24 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
