Fifth year head coach Sean Lewis has done an incredible job at Kent State, taking over one of the worst programs in the country and turning them into an up tempo, high scoring offense among the nation’s best. His first season was 2018 and by 2020 he had them leading the nation in points per game with nearly 50. They are the defending MAC East Division champions and were voted to repeat this year in the MAC coaches poll.
Last year’s team was powered by a ton of experience, especially at the offensive line and with QB Dustin Crum.
