KENT- The Kent State Golden Flashes re-wrote the program record books and held off a feisty Ohio Bobcats squad in a thrilling 31-24 overtime victory on a homecoming Saturday at Dix Stadium.
The Flashes ran their program-best home win streak to 11-straight with the victory that saw Dante Cephas set program records while Marquez Cooper, Andrew Glass, Collin Schlee and Devontez Walker all etch their name in the record book. The Flashes rolled up 736 yards of offense in the game, the second-most in school history and the second-most this season in an FBS game.
Cephas set a program-record with 246 yards, breaking a the record set by Eugene Baker in 1997, respectfully. Cephas had a monster second half, catching 11 balls for 230 yards after halftime. His yards are an FBS high so far this season. He and fellow wideout Devontez Walker became the first 200-yard/100-yard single game tandem in school history with Walker grabbing six passes for 107 yards.
Marquez Cooper became the fifth back in program history to have 40 or more carries in a game and his 240 yards are the sixth-most all-time and most in a game since 2012 (Dri Archer).
Andrew Glass drilled a 50-yard field goal, a career best and just the fourth 50+ yard field goal in school history.
Collin Schlee threw for 398 yards on 24 completions and ran for 77 yards. Schlee's passing yards are fourth most in program history and most since 1997 and he his 475 yards of total offense are second all time in school history.
Despite the record-setting numbers, the Ohio Bobcats forced six fumbles, recovering two, and led for most of the ball game. After the first of two Cooper touchdowns on the Flashes' opening drive, the Bobcats scored the next 10 points and took a three-point lead into the half.
Glass' 50-yard field goal tied the game at 10 but Ohio would take a 17-10 lead on a 50-yard touchdown run. The Flashes would get turned away on a pair of fourth-down conversions before Dante Cephas made an acrobatic catch down the sideline for 29-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
The intensity picked up from there, two plays later, Ohio struck for a 71-yard touchdown catch-and-run to go back up 24-17. Schlee responded with an eight-play, 75-yard drive that ended on a two-yard run for the signal caller. After an Ohio three-and-out, Andrew Glass' potential game-winning field goal was blocked, sending the game to overtime.
In the extra frame, Marquez Cooper punched it in from two yards out and the defense held strong on a fourth-and-goal from the five, sending the crowd of 20,395 home happy.
The win moves the Flashes to 2-3 overall on the season and more importantly, 1-0 in MAC play. Ohio falls to 2-3 and is 0-1 in conference. The Flashes hit the road for the next two weekends of MAC play. Next up is a trip to Oxford to take on the Miami Red Hawks. Kick-off is set for 3:30 p.m.
