Win, and you’re in. The de facto MAC East championship game kicks off this Saturday.
Kent State (6-5, 5-2 MAC) looks to punch a ticket to Detroit for its first conference championship appearance since 2012. Miami (OH) (6-5, 5-2 MAC) aims to pull out a win on the road to return to the MAC title game for the second time in three seasons. This is the highest-stakes MAC regular season game of 2021, and an opportunity at championship hardware remains in tact for whichever squad emerges on top. MAC West champion Northern Illinois will be watching and waiting.
