Gameday Recap: Kent State 49, Bowling Green 44
Offense can't bail out worst defensive performance of the season
Trayion Graham scores his 6th and final TD on the day, putting the Falcons in a huge hole early in the 4th quarter.
There is no sugar coating it today, the Falcons' defense sucked. After a pick 6 on the second play from scrimmage got it started, Kent State never looked back and ran all over the Falcons front line. Even after the offense batled back to take a lead at halftime, they still couldn't stop the run, as Trayion Durham set a new Kent State record with 6 rushing TD, 3 of which were 30 yards or more, 2 of which were 80 yards or more. It was a pathetic day to be a Falcon. Please note that two of Matt Johnson's INTs were in garbage time when Bowling Green was trying to fight back, so he played better than his stats show.
