KENT, OHIO- It's week nine of our FLASHBack football series powered by Ganley Chevrolet. To get ready for week one of the 2020 season, we take a look at a game that happened on November 4, 1933.
It was homecoming for the Golden Flashes and Kent State welcomed in the Marietta Pioneers, and the Flashes were welcoming in several thousand fans to see the Buckeye State clash. It would be the first of three all-time meetings between the teams.
The Flashes came into the game at 1-2-2 on the season but after tough losses to start the season, Kent State was unbeaten and not scored upon in their last three leading into the homecoming games.
