Meanwhile, after soaring to 38 points the game before, Kent State faltered in their match on Saturday. They were completely outmatched by Fresno State on the road and fell 53-10. Kent State was in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 36-10.

Here's a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Saturday' match: The RedHawks have been frequent visitors to the end zone this season, having averaged 4.2 touchdowns per game. It's a different story for the Golden Flashes, though, as they've been averaging only 1.5 per game.
