That's an egregious missed pass interference

Jo must go

I think it's probably a bad call but it was never going to get overturned

There's the stupid Finley pass

Akron needs to engage in some adult kickoffs. They are surrendering too many yards which makes the subsequent drive after another Kent three and out longer than it needs to be.

I don't hate the field goal but I hate lining up in shotgun for 3rd and short.

Zips were 19 in last week's coaches ranking.... Zips jump up to 14 in this week's ranking Georgetown at 15 and UConn is #26 https://unitedsoccercoaches.org/rankings/college-rankings/ncaa-di-men/ if Akron or Georgetown win the Big East conference tournament, it is my opinion that one of those 2 teams would deserve a top 8 NCAA tournament seed.

I didn't like the call either, especially since it put us down 8. Meaning we would still have to convert a 2-point conversion from an equal distance to tie it up anyway.

You just can't kick it from the 1. Cowardly move and we paid for it. Among other mistakes

Joe Moorhead deep into his bag! Tie game!

Don't know how many have noticed but Buffalo looks like it is turning the corner back to respectable ... Eastern seems to have found a quality post guy that was riding the bench at CMU (albeit behind a really god player who transferred) and is it me, or has Kent State abandoned defense for a chuk-n-duk offense.

Kinda wish we went for it. Because we still need to score from the 2 (2 point conversion) and now that's just to tie it up

Why not go for 2 there?

This is disappointing, but I think I’d rather the buyout money go to the operating budget/revenue share.

Thank goodness we have John Groce and men's basketball.

These refs are atrocious.

I said a few days ago..if Akron let KSU hang, if Moorehead put the game in Finleys hands and Akron made enough bonehead plays look out. Well lookout.

They really need a touchdown drive now

They had overloaded that side. Too easy. We needed another defender on that side.

Youngstown State also played Shenango last night. How many D1 teams are these guys playing? 😆

This is one of the better Akron Kent game with different ebbs and flows. Not sure what our defensive back was doing on that Kent touchdown watching the QB and letting his man run past him. Akron has 2 mistakes leading to 2 Kent touchdowns. Our running game has been strong with some really long third down gains. Need a touchdown to open the half. Finley has thrown some nice balls.

Akron has over 300 yards in the half. It's been fine. Got another half.

Playing scared.

Kent State so far wants this more

Not a fan of the pooch kickoffs. Other than the kickoff that Kent fumbled and recovered, their average starting position after a kickoff is their own 39-yard line.

With the exception of a fluke and two good plays by Kent, Akron is in complete control of this game. They look like they know what they are doing.

We look like the better team, but turnovers and stupid mistakes are the only thing that will beat us. So far, we are doing that.

Minor setback.

So that was bad.

Legitimately a heck of a crowd for the game tonight.

Solid opening drives on both sides of the ball.

Hell, just protect the rivalry games. There is no reason for Akron-Kent to be played on a Tuesday evening at 7:30 in November. I'm fine with it against literally any other opponent, but this should have been a Saturday noon kickoff. I believe it would have been a decent crowd and generated at least some mild buzz for the program locally. Instead, we will probably get a bit more than last week, which was downright embarrassing.

Can’t give up any special teams TD’s. They have a really good kick returner that has taken a few to the house - and we’ve given up a few this year. Have to keep it away from him!

It was relegation. 😊 That's also why NIU is going to the downgraded Mountain West.

For those without ESPN now thanks to Mickey Mouse's greed, FuboTV has a 5 day free trial. You'll need the Elite package for ESPNU, and you can cancel after the game without being charged. However, unlike many free trials, cancelling right after signing up will terminate the trial immediately so make sure you set a reminder for Wednesday/Thursday/Friday.

What are we doing?

Regardless, bummer for the player(s). I hope they take this time during recovery and rehab to also reflect on their poor life decision to commit to Kent State.
