The Kent State football team (1-6, 0-4 Mid-American Conference) lost by one on Saturday, its second one-point loss in its past three games.
The play that shaped the outcome of Saturday's Wagon Wheel matchup was on a low snap and fumbled hold by sophomore second-string quarterback Dustin Crum on an extra point in overtime, while three weeks ago it was a late touchdown run by Ohio quarterback Nathan Rourke that led Ohio to a late victory over the Flashes.
Coach Sean Lewis is treating the two heartbreaking losses as teaching moments.
“We’ll continue to fight, and we’ll continue to learn from these lessons that we get week in and week out and I know that we’ll be better for it in the end,” Lewis said.
