      Offensive Coordinator Jordan McAlary
      By Don Knotts | @theotherdonknotts | September 3, 2024, 11:09am EDT

      Each week in the days following Kent State's game I will spend a few moments chatting with members of the coaching staff. I'll share some key points in this column.

      This morning I spoke with offensive coordinator Jordan McAlary following Kent State's 31-23 loss at Pitt this past Saturday.

      What are some of the things the team did well to help stay competitive on the road against an ACC team?
      I'd say on the whole we executed well. We put up over over 100 yards in the running game and we were efficient there. Did pretty well cashing in on the red zone opportunities. Found the open man and took what they gave us. We did well sustaining drives and had a bit of an advantage in possession time.

      What went wrong?
      Obviously you can't turn the ball over four times and expect to beat a talented team. We'll take a close look at the turnovers and try to figure out what needs to happen to try and limit those going forward. Also not great on third down, I think we got 6 of 13 there so we need a little more success there. That comes down to putting ourselves in a good position on first and second down, making those third downs a bit easier and giving us a bit more freedom in playcalling.

      Can you give us a player of the week?
      Gavin Garcia. Ran hard. Contributed well in the passing game. Did well in pass protection when we asked him to. Bounced back after the fumble.

      What are some points of emphasis heading into this week's game against St. Francis?
      Ball security for sure, that's at the top of our list. A little better results on first and second down so we're looking at more manageable third downs and a bit more playcalling freedom.

          KENT STATE QB TOMMY ULATOWSKI SCORES A RUSHING TD
          ---

          Kent, OH - After a close loss last week at Pitt the Flashes were looking for a convincing win as they played host to St. Francis at Dix Stadium. It was St. Francis who got on the board first via an eight yard touchdown run by Dorian O'Neal. The score was set up by St. Francis' Dre Leverette picking off a Tommy Ulatowski pass in the endzone to spoil what looked like a promising first drive for Kent State.

          Kent State tied the game on the first play of the second quarter when Ky Thomas powered into the endzone from a yard out. Thomas' score was set up by a pair of long Ulatowski passes, first to Chrishon McCray for a gain of 18 and then to Isaiah Batton for 35 yards. Batton led all receivers with 142 yards and two scores. Gavin Garcia ran for a gain of twelve and then Ulatowski scrambled for a gain of 10 yards down to the one yard line.

          Later in the second quarter Ulatowski scored on a nine yard run and connected with Batton for a 16 yard score. St. Francis cut into the lead with a Noah Schwartz touchdown grab courtesy of Brock Ladler for a five yard score just before the break.

          With a score of 21-14 at halftime Kent State was not where they had hoped to be.

          The second half was all Golden Flashes with Thomas scoring a second one yard TD and Ulatowski and Batton connecting for a 74 yard touchdown in the third quarter.

          Andrew Glass connected on a 23 yard field goal and Garcia picked up a two yard rushing touchdown to make the final 45-14 Kent State.

              By Don Knotts | @theotherdonknotts | September 10, 2024, 9:14am EDT

              Each week in the days following Kent State's game I will spend a few moments chatting with members of the coaching staff. I'll share some key points in this column.

              This morning I spoke with offensive coordinator Jordan McAlary following Kent State's big win over St. Francis.

              When you play an FCS team like St. Francis what are some of the differences between that and a MAC opponent or a FBS team from another conference?
              Well there are a lot of differences for sure. One big thing is the kind of element of surprise. We're not familiar with these guys, there not all over ESPN so all we have is some limited tape to look at. That and they really tend to come in looking to prove something, like when we went into Pitt a couple weeks ago.

              What were some of your takeaways from the win?
              Certainly the ability to put up 45 against anyone is a good thing to see. Passing game looked good, real high completion percentage. Great job by the line in pass pro and running the ball. Had a real high yards per rush number. A couple turnovers we were able to overcome but we're always stressing ball security so you need to look at those closely. Overall a great performance offensively.

              Can you give us a player of the week?
              You know it's probably a few guys this week. (Runningback) Ky (Thomas) really stepped up. He didn't get a lot of touches at Pitt but we went in wanting to try to split things more evenly and he went over 125 and got in the endzone a couple times. Isaiah Batton was open all game, got in the endzone twice. Big splash play for us. Hard to pick just a couple but it's probably those guys.

              Big game down in Tennessee this weekend. What are you doing differently to prepare?
              Whenever you go into an SEC stadium and face a team like that you need to be prepared for the noise and you need to be prepared for the speed. We've got to have some success in the running game and try to limit their possession.

                    CRISHON MCCRAY HAULS IN A TD PASS FROM TOMMY ULATOWSKI IN THE 4TH QUARTER
                    ---

                    Knoxville, TN - It was supposed to be a beatdown when Kent State travelled into SEC country to face Tennessee under the lights. However, with the help of a strong defensive effort and an opportune, mostly mistake free offense the Flashes had a chance all the way to the final gun.

                    Tommy Ulatowski threw for 358 yards and a score and kept the turnovers under control, throwing just one interception early on.

                    The rushing game was effective with Gavin Garcia putting up 76 yards on 14 carries and Ky Thomas adding 28 yards on 8 carries.

                    Tennessee showed their SEC speed with all three of their touchdowns coming on long passes. Nico Iamaleava connected with Bru McCoy for a 59 yard score in the first quarter. After Kent State tied it back up with a one yard TD run by Garcia the Volunteers scored on a pair of Iamaleava TD passes to Squirrell White, a 64 yarder just before halftime and from 72 yards out late in the third quarter.

                    Ulatowski connected with Chrishon McCray on a 17 yard TD early in the fourth quarter and each team added a field goal after that.

                    "You know in our position from where we were at last year we absolutely feel good about this game." Kent State head coach Kenni Burns said after the game.

                    Iamaleava threw for 213 yards and three scores while Dylan Sampson picked up 132 on the ground.

                    The Tennessee pass rush was a big problem for Kent State with them racking up a total of eight sacks. James Pearce Jr led the way with 4.5.

                    Kent State will travel to face Penn State next week.

                        Each week in the days following Kent State's game I will spend a few moments chatting with members of the coaching staff. I'll share some key points in this column.

                        This morning I spoke with offensive coordinator Jordan McAlary following Kent State's loss at Tennessee.

                        Close game down in Tennessee the other night. What are some positives you all are taking away from the game despite it being a loss?
                        Good results in the passing game, high completion percentage and guys were getting open. Pretty successful in the running game too. Didn't look too rattled out there most of the time.

                        What's something you're looking at to improve upon?
                        Pass protection. Anytime you give up eight sacks in a game you've got to look at that. Whether it's a personnel thing or a scheme thing you've got to look at it.

                        Can you give us a player of the week?
                        Probably have to go with (QB) Tommy (Ulatowski this week. He took a lot of hits but he stood in there and delivered good passes right to the end.

                        You're on the road at Penn State this Saturday. What are you doing to prepare for that environment?
                        A lot of the same stuff as last week. Lots of noise. Working the silent counts. Working on communicating the plays and any audibles, adjustments, pass pro calls. It's going to be loud again.

                            PENN STATE'S DEFENSE GOT THEIR HANDS ON ULATOWSKI EARLY AND OFTEN, RECORDING FOUR SACKS
                            ---

                            State College, PA - Penn State completely shut down the Kent State offense early in the game, jumping out to a 10-0 lead before the Flashes were able to complete a pass. Chase Meyer connected on a 33 yard field goal and Drew Allar connected with Harrison Wallace III for a six yard touchdown in the first quarter. Ulatowski was hurried on each of his pass attempts and had no help from his receivers, who racked up seven drops in the game, early on.

                            Penn State added a one yard Chauncey Carpenter TD midway through the third quarter to make it 17-0. Kent State finally got on the board late in the first half when Tommy Ulatowski scrambled and found the endzone from eight yards out.

                            Penn State tacked on 11 more points via a 33 yard Chase Meyer field goal and a Kaden Saunders 56 yard TD pass from Allar, along with a two point conversion, giving the Nittany Lions a commanding 35-21 lead with just over a minute left.

                            Kent State wasn't ready to throw in the towel and Ulatowski added another rushing touchdown late to make the final score 35-21 Penn State, no doubt upsetting those who had bet the spread.

                            Despite the early struggles and drops Ulatowski finished a respectable 14 of 29 for 164 yards with no touchdowns and no turnovers. With sacks figured in he ran for only three yards but scored twice, which made the final score somewhat respectable.

                            Garcia toted the rock 17 times for 67 yards and a score.

                            Luke Floria led the way for the receivers, hauling in four passes for 39 yards. Dallas Branch led the team with twelve tackles.

                            For Penn State Allar threw for 244 yards and a pair of scores while Kaytron Alen ran for 81 yards on 19 carries. Carpenter totaled just five yards on three carries but scored twice. Saunders' 87 yards led all receivers.

                            Abdul Carter sacked Ulatowski three times in the loss.

                                Another tough opponent on the road in Penn State, what are some positives you're taking from the game?
                                Yeah I mean it wasn't the result we were hoping for obviously but we started poorly and definitely a lot of teams it that situation just throw in the towel and that's when you see the 60 to mothing scores and whatnot. So we were proud that we kept fighting up to the end of the game.

                                What are some of the things you're looking at on tape and hoping to make some adjustments to?
                                These past two weeks we have had a lot of opponents in the backfield on passing plays so we're going to need to look at that issue for sure. Whether it's something we need to address schematically or with personnel or if it's a technique issue we need to get that cleaned up. We can't have the QB absorbing so many hits.

                                Anything else?
                                Drops. Got to figure those out. Way too many.

                                Can you give us a player of the week?
                                Tommy for sure. We had a good number of drops in key situations early and, you know, you want to see your QB take command but the way he did it with those guys it was all positive and they responded. He stood in a took some hits and scored twice for us so ended up being a good game all around for him.

                                Back home and opening up conference play Saturday. Anything different there?
                                Just got to get it done in conference at home.
