Flashes overcome penalties, offensive stall to hold off EMU

Mark Williams sat alone in the left corner of the end zone as a ball from quarterback Dustin Crum zipped toward him. The redshirt sophomore dropped under the slightly underthrown ball and had the very first catch of his college career.

The reception put Kent State’s football team back in the lead, over Eastern Michigan University, with under five minutes to play.

That score would stand as the final, as Kent State defeated EMU 27-23 to open its 2020 conference-only schedule with a win. That extends to five games — a KSU winning streak that began last year.
