Kent State -1 4.4* NCAAF POD
So we are backing Kent for the second week in a row. I thought their offense made major strides a week ago after a bye week where HC Darrell Hazell was able to shift the offensive line around.   He’ll face a worse defense than they did last week when they scored 27 points on Miami Ohio and I look for them to continue on that trend.
 
Kent State in reality is all about it’s defense though, they are ranked 33rd nationally and are a balanced bunch stopping the run and pass.  They faced two good QB’s the last two weeks better than Ryan Radcliff 17TD/12 INT 57% completion and they held them in check pretty much.  Bowling Green’s Matt Schilz had yards, but only 59% completion rate, and he has over 60% on the year 19 TD/ 10 interceptions, and then Miami Ohio’s Zac Dysert 62.5% 16 TD and 8 interceptions went nowhere with 48% completion and just under 5 yards per reception.  I like Kent’s defense at home holding opponents to 27% conversions on 3rd downs we saw the offensive line issues last game for Central Mich they went 5-15 on 3rd downs at lowly Akron ranked 82nd in total defense and allows 46% 3rd down conversions.  Kent State is going to carry last week’s win in a ESPN battle at home something they rarely get that will be a huge advantage in my opinion.
