That whole team under James was full of fight and
never gave up playing until the last second. Even fans
on the other side would let them know they appreciate their efforts.

Kent State legend Dri Archer ran for 1,482 yards in 2012, second for a single season all time in program history
Archer was an All-American in 2012 for KSU and broke the KSU single season record for total TDs in a season with 23
Personally believe we are capable of being borderline contenders right out of the gate. But we have to prove it first which I do believe we will do! ⚡⚡⚡
Today I want to highlight the FlashFAST Era at Kent State, one of the best and most underrated offenses in Modern College Football History
Between 2018 and 2022, Kent State played in 55 games and scored 30+ points in 28 of them, including 9/14 games in 2021
This also included 13 games at 40+, 8 games at 50+, and 5 at 60+
Kent State set the PPG record for the CFP era as well, averaging 49.8 PPG in 2020
A record of 24-31 over that 55 game stretch, including ten losses by a single score, means that this era won’t get the appreciation it deserves, but it is still spectacular for what that offense accomplished
Over this span they did go 9-1 vs their rivals, have ten players go pro, go on a 12 game home win streak, and have the largest 4th quarter comeback in FBS history
