The Kent State foootball team's problems with turnovers and penalties were overshadowed by a 54-14 drubbing against Howard (0-2), bu Flashes coach Sean Lewis still took notice.

“We’re going to have a major ownage on valuing the football this week,” Lewis said. “We need to clean up the area of penalties, 15 penalties for 150 yards is way too much.”

The defense picked up the slack, forcing two interceptions and a fumble, which oftentimes put the offense in short field situations. However, Lewis knows that there is still room for improvement.

The team was also very successful on the ground, combining for 355 yards while averaging almost seven yards per carry.
