The Kent State football team heads into the Mid-American Conference play with a 1-3 record.
That record can be deceiving, however, as the Flashes three losses have come against Texas A&M and Iowa, which were ranked as the sixth and fifth best teams in the country coming into those games, and Maryland, which is one of five teams undefeated in the Big Ten.
The Flashes also hung with each of these teams into the third quarter. While the game eventually got away from them in the second half, coach Sean Lewis said he has been happy with how his team has played.
