CFB 150: Football Legends Hiding in 1972 Tangerine Bowl

Jacob Pavilack, the radio field analyst for the Golden Flashes, will be profiling influential Kent State players and coaches as well as historical moments from the program's history as part of College Football's 150th Anniversary.

The 1972 Golden Flashes are one of the most fondly remembered teams in school history and captured the school's only Mid-American Conference title in the final game of the regular season. Their reward for the championship was an invitation to play in the Tangerine Bowl, a precursor to the modern-day Citrus Bowl, against the Tampa Spartans.
