Oklahoma vs Kent State Game Preview

Why Kent State Will Win

The Golden Flashes have the offense to keep up.

The three turnovers hurt in the 45-20 loss to Washington, and there weren’t the bursts of explosion like there needed to be, but the attack has the upside to go fast and come up with points in chunks.
