When a MAC team emerges triumphant in a non-conference game, they fly the flag. The MAC Jolly Roger was introduced prior to the 2018 season in by conference commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher. It was notably waved last Saturday night at Sun Devil Stadium when Eastern Michigan stunned Arizona State to pull off the first regular season victory by a MAC team over a Pac-12 program in history.
The MAC Jolly Roger will make its trip to Athens, GA when Kent State hopes to do the unthinkable. Georgia is the No. 1 team in the latest AP Poll, and the reigning College Football Playoff champions deserve that number after skating through three opponents by an aggregate score of 130-10.
