Golden Flashes, meet the blue turf.
Kent State is bowl bound for the second time in the Sean Lewis era and the team is headed to Boise, ID to partake in the 2021 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Dec. 21. The Golden Flashes’ opponent will be Wyoming of the Mountain West. The matchup was first reported by The Action Network’s breaking news reporter Brett McMurphy.
Kent State won its first bowl game in program history in 2019, upsetting another Mountain West opponent in Utah State in the Frisco Bowl. Despite finishing with a winning record in 2020, the Golden Flashes were not selected to a bowl game in the 2020 season, as the MAC was granted just two spots due to an array of COVID-19 related cancelations.
