KENT, OHIO- It's week eleven of our FLASHBack football series powered by Ganley Chevrolet. This week we head back to 1973 when the Golden Flashes took on Toledo inside the Glass Bowl.
The 1973 season was a great one for the Golden Flashes, it was considered by many, the best Golden Flashes team to date in program history. The Flashes came into the game at 7-2 overall with losses at San Diego State and to a Miami of Ohio team that was ranked 17th overall and defeated Florida in the 1973 Tangerine Bowl.
Kent State took its frustrations stemming from the Miami loss the previous week out on the Toledo Rockets, in what should be known as the Gerald Tinker and Larry Poole Game.
