It was not the prettiest of games. In fact, it was a rather sloppy one, with 15 penalties called in the first half between both sides and 22 overall flags and 171 penalty yards assessed.
But with 18 seconds left in the game on a BGSU drive which looked like it could end up in a scoring chance, Kent State linebacker Ke’Sean Gamble intercepted a Jarrett Doege pass to seal a 35-28 victory for the Golden Flashes (2-7, 1-4 MAC) over rival Bowling Green (1-7, 0-5 MAC) to take home the Anniversary Award.
364 days prior to Tuesday night, the Flashes suffered a humiliating defeat in a season chock full of them in a 44-16 home loss to Bowling Green which all but nailed the coffin for Paul Haynes as a head coach.
