Kent State was flat out dominant in a 54-14 victory over Howard University Saturday in its 2018 home opener at Dix Stadium. Behind six rushing touchdowns, the Golden Flashes out-gained the Bison on the ground 355-65.
Coming out strong in the home crowd's first look at the new FlashFAST offense, quarterback Woody Barrett marched Kent State down the field for a touchdown in their first series after a three and out by Howard. The drive only took a 1:38 as the Flashes went 67 yards, punctuated by a Barrett three-yard rushing touchdown.
The Golden Flashes' special team made a momentum changing play to set up the second Kent State touchdown in the first quarter.
