Today we discuss the college football history of the Kent State Golden Flashes. This program, for all its ups and downs, did have moments of defensive genius. One legendary coach, one longtime winning coach, one second half kickoff return to propel the program to their first MAC Championship, one win to end a long losing streak, one loss to derail an undefeated-untied season, one case of when time ran out on a furious comeback, one team with a suffocating defense, two teams ranked in the AP Poll, one offensive juggernaut, one feared Hall of Fame linebacker, one record setting quarterback, one Wagon Wheel, one string of shutouts at the onset of the program’s history, one string of winless seasons at the onset of the program history, one sack barrage, one shutdown rushing defensive performance, and of course, Flash the Golden Eagle.
